Things To Do
Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum
Before you walk the line into wedding weekend festivities, make a stop at one of Nashville’s most iconic attractions. From sparkling stage costumes to legendary love songs, the Country Music Hall of Fame is the perfect place to two-step through the history of Nashville's country music.
Ryman Auditorium
Known as the “Mother Church of Country Music,” the Ryman, an iconic music venue, has been stealing hearts since 1892. With its dreamy architecture, rich musical history, and unforgettable atmosphere, it’s the perfect spot to fall a little more in love with Nashville while you’re here celebrating with us.
Belle Meade Winery
Sip, stroll, and soak in a little Southern charm at Belle Meade. With its historic grounds, beautiful gardens, and cozy winery tastings, it’s the perfect place to wine down between wedding festivities and enjoy a taste of Tennessee history.
Cheekwood
Cheekwood is one of Nashville’s most beautiful botanical gardens and art museums. During wedding weekend, the estate will be in the middle of its beloved fall festival, with thousands of pumpkins, vibrant autumn colors, seasonal displays, and storybook scenery around every corner. It’s the perfect place to stroll, sip a cider, and fall a little more in love with Nashville.
Nashville Zoo at Grassmere
Traveling with little ones? The Nashville Zoo is one of the best kid-friendly spots in the city — and a personal favorite of Hannah’s niece whenever she comes to visit! From petting kangaroos to the carousel, there’s plenty to keep tiny wedding guests entertained. It’s a fun, easy outing for families looking to add a little adventure to their Nashville weekend.
Radnor Lake State Park
Need a little escape from the honky-tonks? Radnor Lake is one of Rohan and Hannah’s favorite hidden gems in Nashville, with scenic walking trails, quiet lake views, and plenty of chances to spot deer, turtles, and other wildlife along the way. Just minutes from the city, it’s the perfect spot to slow down, get some fresh air, and enjoy a little calm before the dance floor.
The Parthenon (Centennial Park)
Centennial Park is home to wide walking paths, open green space, and the city’s iconic full-scale Parthenon replica. And for the Swifties in the group—this park has a little extra sparkle. Taylor Swift famously filmed scenes for her “Invisible String” music video here, making it a sweet stop for anyone hoping to add a bit of music-city magic (and maybe a touch of Taylor lore) to the weekend.
12 South
One of Nashville’s most charming shopping strolls, 12 South is a picture-perfect mix of boutique shops, local cafés, and colorful murals. It’s an easy, walkable stretch made for browsing, coffee stops, and a little people-watching. A few favorite #couplegoels spots: -Hearts (brunch!) -Burger Up (Burgers & Cocktails) -White's Mercantile (great for take home gifts!) -Edley's (BBQ)
Germantown
Nashville’s effortlessly charming neighborhood, Germantown is where Hannah first called home when she moved to the city. Great for some light shopping, dinner, cool vibes and exploring river views. A perfect afternoon includes: -Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park (wide-open green with WW2 history and the Nashville Farmers’ Market) -Steadfast Coffee -Babychan (brunch!) -Mother's Ruin (late night drinks) It’s a great area to wander without much of a plan—just follow the coffee, the bakeries, and the quiet charm of one of Hannah’s favorite Nashville neighborhoods.
City House
A little slice of our story lives right here in Germantown—City House is where it all began for us. Known for its cozy atmosphere and unforgettable Italian-inspired Southern menu, it set the scene for our very first date. If you’re exploring Germantown during the weekend, consider it a delicious piece of our history—and maybe raise a glass to where it all started.
Husk Nashville
A Southern brunch done right—Husk is all about celebrating local ingredients, elevated comfort food, and that unmistakable Nashville charm. Set in a beautifully restored historic home just outside downtown, it’s the kind of place where brunch feels like an event in itself. Perfect for a wedding weekend morning, it’s an ideal stop to sip something bubbly, linger over biscuits.
Xiao Bao
Tucked into East Nashville, Xiao Bao is one of the city’s most beloved spots for bold, Southeast Asian-inspired flavors served in a fun, shareable style (definitely get the pulled noodles!). It’s the kind of place where the plates keep coming, the table gets a little louder, and no one is really in a rush—which is exactly the point.
