YES. Thanks for noting the date change! Our original venue, Sambuca, closed its doors unexpectedly in March so we had to start back at square one to find and book a new venue. We know everyone will experience incredible food and have the most fun at House of Cards, but they didn't have a dinner option available on Friday, June 20. We think having brunch on Saturday, June 21 will help us maximize our time in downtown Nashville with ALL of our guests. We hope your travel plans are not impacted by this change!
We know you'll find this venue as fun and unique as we do! Besides outstanding food, the speakeasy, located below the Johnny Cash Museum, features professional magicians to entertain guests throughout their visit. Magician stations are set up around the restaurant, and there is a 30-minute theater show as well! www.hocnashville.com/about During the reception: 11:00-12:00 Order a cocktail at the bar, graze at the fruit table, and check out the magic stations 12:00-1:30 Eat until you can't eat any more, then visit the magic stations 1:30-2:00 Join us for the magic show in the theater 2:00-3:00 Mingle and enjoy the magic stations
We want to spend the weekend celebrating with our closest friends and family. You and your children are included in the invitation.
Leave the baseball hats and graphic tees at the hotel, and come in appropriate attire for an upscale speakeasy vibe. The dress code we'd ask you to consider is "smart casual". Smart casual translates to dressy casual or casual chic. Think a dress-up/dress-down hybrid like denim and diamonds. Shorts, jeans, or slacks are fine with us - whatever suits the weather and is comfortable for the day's activities. See the website for a better idea of the vibe. Disregard the venue's dress code - since we have the whole venue for our reception, we don't have to abide. www.hocnashville.com We highly recommend you check the weather as you pack. We expect it will be very hot and humid.
Yes - House of Cards has a NO PHOTO POLICY. However, you are allowed to take pictures in the stairwell before entering and on the back patio. The house photographer will be happy to take photos of our group throughout the event.
We'll have a brunch buffet with several different options to choose from, including eggs, prime rib, and chicken & waffles. Please let us know if you have specific dietary restrictions so we can make sure the chef can accommodate you!
We recommend getting an Uber/Lyft to the reception, especially if you plan to go to Broadway after brunch. If you choose to drive, park in the Pinnacle building and carry your ticket with you. House of Cards will validate your parking. 150 3rd Ave S, Nashville, TN 37201
The reception at House of Cards will be from 11:00-3:00 on Saturday, June 21. Afterwards, feel free to join us for some Nashville fun on Broadway! Lexy and Wilson love 90s country, so you may find us at Garth Brooks' bar, Alan Jackson's bar, or Bon Jovi's bar. Legends and Nudie's are also favorites! Most bars are open to all ages until 6:00 PM - we hope your whole family will join us for some live music and dancing!
Nashville is an easy city to drive to from wherever you live (except California). If you choose to fly, Nashville International Airport (BNA) is about 10 miles from the city center. We live about 20 miles from the airport - in West Nashville. The car rental garage is a short walk from the terminal.
There are infinite options for AirBNBs and hotels in the Nashville area. For comfort, convenience, and cost, we recommend researching AirBNBs or hotels in the Vanderbilt area or near Bellevue. Let us know your questions about your search! We plan to stay at the Omni Hotel downtown on the night of June 21.
We'd love to spend as much time with you as we can while you're here! We hope you can join us for our welcome reception: Trivia at Tailgate on Friday, June 20. See "Things To Do" page for more suggestions!
