Matthew & Nicole
Things To Do
Copperhead Road Line Dance
We want to add some southern flair to our wedding, we are in Nashville after all. We would greatly appreciate it if everyone learned this line dance before our wedding. We can't wait to dance the night away with y'all!
After The Tone Virtual Guestbook
We will have a rotary phone as our guestbook at our wedding but we also purchased a virtual option to allow guests who can’t make it to our wedding to call in and leave us a message. We would love for you to be a part of it and leave us a message! Below is our website and phone number (+1-413-393-6521) to call and leave a message. When you are done with your message just hang up to ensure it was recorded. The website password is m&n. You will have until May 12 to call in. Feel free to call now, on our actual wedding day, or anytime in between! Please let us know if you have any questions. You will be missed!
Hattie B's Hot Chicken - Nashville - Midtown
Hattie B's is an absolute must! This is the original location. They also have other locations including lower Broadway. Go early as there will be a line, and come hungry!
Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint
Really great BBQ!
The Stillery
Nicole says to try their mac & cheese and fried pickle chips! All the food here is delicious. It's usually very busy but if you go upstairs there is first come first serve seating plus live music.
Milk & Honey Gulch
Great place for brunch! It also happens to be near the famous Nashville "WhatLiftsYou" wings mural.
Five Daughters Bakery | 5th & Broadway
Amazing donuts! Pricey but worth it. The original location is in Franklin, TN but they have many to choose from including their Broadway location, the Gulch, 12th South (the location we went to, so cute!), and now also in Murfreesboro at The Fountains if you need a pick-me-up before the wedding (not too far from our hotel blocks)!
Jason Aldean's Kitchen + Rooftop Bar
One of our favorites! This place comes alive especially at night. The higher up you go, the better the party ... the rooftop is where it's at!
Tootsies Orchid Lounge
Probably the most iconic bar on Broadway! So much history here. You never know who you might see or run into here.
Dierks Bentley's Whiskey Row - Nashville
Another favorite! We've seen some amazing bands here (ask Matthew to show you his favorite recording of "Zombie"). The band we love often plays regularly on the first floor. We had the opportunity to watch them again this October. You truly can't go wrong with any bar on Broadway!
Morgan Wallen's This Bar & Tennessee Kitchen
The bar we have long been waiting for! Amazing rooftop views at night!
Barstool Nashville
Another spot high on our list to check out!
Luke Combs' Category 10
We didn't get the chance to go in October as it wasn't open yet, but this place definitely looks like a great time!
Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum
If you are going to spend time downtown this is a must. It is the Country Music Hall of Fame. The name says it all!
Grand Ole Opry
It is a little off the beaten path, but this is another iconic and highly recommended venue! We recommend checking their schedule and booking tickets for a show in advance. They also offer tours. If you have time, we highly recommend taking a walk through the Gaylord Opryland Resort next door. It is pretty spectacular!
Ryman Auditorium
This is where the original Grand Ole Opry took place. Very iconic! We recommend at least taking a tour.
The Bluebird Cafe
Another place you never know who will walk through the door to perform. Definitely a hole in the wall, however another staple of Nashville. We recommend getting tickets in advance for a show.
Johnny Cash Museum
For all you Johnny Cash lovers out there, this is a personal recommendation by Nicole's Dad! It also happens to be rated the #1 music museum in America by USA Today.
The Parthenon
The world's only exact size replica of the Parthenon in Athens, Greece. It's surrounded by the beautiful Centennial Park!
Belle Meade Historic Site & Winery
A lovely historic site especially for folks interested in the origins of horse racing. Added bonus of being a winery!
Nashville WhatLiftsYou Wings Mural
For all you Instagram lovers! Here you go. The legendary Nashville Wings. You're welcome.
I Believe In Nashville Mural
Another one of our favorite murals. Enjoy!
The Nash Collection
One of our favorite stores. This is the place to get all your cute Nash gear!
Humble Baron at Nearest Green Distillery
This spot is a must! This will be something fun to do near wedding time as it's located in Shelbyville, approximately 20 minutes from our venue. Humble Baron is home to the world's longest bar! Yes, you heard me. Located at Nearest Green Distillery you can come for a whiskey tour, tasting, and grab a drink with some food or come for Sunday brunch. They often have live music, including surprise famous artists (check out their website / social media in advance). Also located here is another great food option, Chuck's Barrel House BBQ. Beautiful grounds, including another lovely Wings photo-op!
The Fountains at Gateway
Perfect spot for breakfast near our hotel blocks! There is a coffee shop here called Just Love Coffee which also has quick bites, breakfast option that is delicious called Goodness Gracious, as well as Five Daughters Bakery for your donut fix!
Jack Daniel's Distillery
For all you whiskey lovers out there, we have not been here yet but have heard awesome things. A little further away down in Lynchburg approximately 40 minutes from our venue...
