If you are planning on coming in early or staying past the wedding, please consider attending the bride's church for your place of worship on Sunday morning. Service is 10:00 - 11:30 AM
Dos is Chelsea's favorite Mexican restaurant and home to the best salsa (in her humble opinion.) Fun Fact: I brought David here during his first trip to visit me and he fell in love with the salsa too! :)
The best Italian restaurant in Nashville! Bring your friends/family and share some delicious small plates. Pro Tip: Get the Charred Broccolini, Radiatori Vodka, and Pistachio Gelato *Reservations recommended*
BMR is one of the bride's favorite breakfast spots! It's located in the trendy 12 South area, so plan to stay and walk around a bit afterward!
If your idea of a fun night out includes karaoke and Christmas decor (year-round, btw) all in a double-wide trailer... Go to Santa's Pub. Big name musicians pop in from time to time, too! 21+ only
If you need a country music fix and love museums, CMHOF is a great family-friendly option! There is a great Dolly Parton exhibit right now through Sept. 2026!
Walk around and enjoy the beautiful gardens at Cheekwood. There is usually a Christmas light activation during December.
If you love a theme and a specialty cocktail menu - bar hop around downtown Nashville and enjoy the holiday pop-up bars. Popular themes in the last few years include Christmas Vacation, Camp Bobby, Buddy's Bar, 9 3/4 at Union Station, Old Fashioned Christmas, and more!
The 2025 theme and info has not yet been announced, but this is a beloved annual activation at Gaylord Opryland featuring 2 million pounds of handcrafted ice sculptures. *Timed tickets are required. You do not need to be a hotel guest to enjoy!*
The best family-friendly drive through Christmas light & music show in the area!
If you haven't been to Nashville and want to continue the celebration after our wedding, head downtown to the Bicentennial Mall. Nashville goes all out for this event - tons of live music (last year was headlined by Keith Urban, Kane Brown & Jelly Roll), Music Note Drop, and a huge fireworks show! Nashville’s New Year's Eve celebration is FREE and open to the public. All the Honky Tonks on Lower Broadway are lively & fun, and have views of the fireworks as well!
