Things To Do
Nashville
(30 minutes away) - Explore Broadway’s honky-tonks, The Gulch’s trendy restaurants, and 12South’s boutique shopping. FYI — the ceremony will be in downtown Nashville. If anyone is planning to visit Broadway or spend time downtown on Friday evening, you may want to consider staying at a downtown hotel that night to simplify your commute to the ceremony. Following the ceremony and reception, we encourage guests to stay at our hotel block in Franklin on Saturday night.
Franklin Downtown Historic District
Wander Main Street’s brick sidewalks lined with boutiques, antique stores, coffee shops, and Southern restaurants.
Arrington Vineyards
(15–20 minutes away) – A beautiful hillside winery perfect for an afternoon picnic or sunset wine tasting, complete with live music and rolling vineyard views.
The Factory at Franklin
A vibrant historic spot full of local shops, art, and delicious food. Sip a cocktail, grab a coffee, or enjoy tasty Southern dishes.
GRAYS on Main
Classic Southern cuisine and craft cocktails in a restored 1800s pharmacy. I would recommend making a reservation. Check out their website to see when live music begins upstairs each night.
The Row Kitchen & Pub
A classic Southern BBQ and comfort food spot just minutes from the Cathedral. A very casual, walkable lunch spot for after the ceremony.
Culinary Dropout
A lively, modern restaurant that is perfect for a casual group dinner with drinks close to the hotel block. The hotel shuttle operates from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and can transport you there. Ask the front desk for their phone number to request a pick up. I would make a reservation if possible.
Tony's Eat & Drink
Tony's is a fun bar spot just a short distance from the hotel. A perfect destination for after the reception if you're not quite ready to call it a night. It is a quick uber ride from the hotel or you can walk it in 10 minutes.
