The ceremony is outside in a shaded courtyard. It will be hot but also temporary. The rest of the evening will be inside with air conditioning.
We suggest getting a 10-15 minute taxi/Lyft/Uber ride. You CANNOT leave your car parked on the venue's property overnight, so if you plan to drive, you must drive yourself home (responsibly) or move your car to the neighborhood streets and pick it up in the morning. If any cars are left on Riverwood Mansion's property at the end of the night, we will be fined and you will not be able to retrieve your car for 24 hours.
There will be a bus to take most guests from Riverwood Mansion to downtown Nashville after the reception. If you prefer a different drop-off location, we suggest reserving a Lyft or Uber slightly ahead of time so that you don't have to wait long at the end of the night.
The airport is only 10-15 minutes away from downtown, so it's an easy taxi/Lyft/Uber ride. No public transportation.
Walking is possible (e.g. Broadway-Gulch-Music Row), but for getting to some neighborhoods (e.g. East Nashville, 12 South), you should grab a taxi/Lyft/Uber.
Broadway is full of tourists day and night, so you're never going to be alone, but just be aware of your surroundings and your drink. There are homeless people around but they usually have a guitar and a dog, they are generally harmless. If your hotel is further out and you're concerned, just ask Lauren and Steven.
We love your kids, but our wedding is an adults-only event. Please let us know if you're thinking of bringing your kids for the weekend and need assistance with childcare during the wedding, as we are happy to help brainstorm ideas!
We live in Germantown! That's why we're meeting you at the brewery there. You will probably want a car to get there but once you're in, the neighborhood is very walkable.
Boots more than hats, and on Broadway worn by tourists more than anything else. The musicians definitely wear them but we don't see any worn at the grocery store or anything. You will fit in with whatever you choose to wear!
