FAQs

Question

How far is the drive to Nashville from Chicagoland?

Answer

About 500 miles, 7½ hours—just long enough to eat too many gas-station snacks and belt out your whole road-trip playlist twice.

Question

How far is the Nashville airport to the Holiday Inn?

Answer

Only 7 miles away—about 15–20 minutes. Quicker than finishing a plate of hot chicken (but not without the same sweat).

Question

What’s the weather like in Nashville?

Answer

Hotter than a two-step in July! Summer in Nashville brings the heat, so check the forecast and dress light. (Cowboy hats provide shade and style.)

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

No tuxes or ball gowns required. Think Nashville cowboy chic—boots, denim, fringe, hats, rhinestones. Dress comfy but feel free to shine like a Broadway star. No strict dress code—dress comfortably! Nashville cowboy chic attire is encouraged, so feel free to lean into Nashville’s country-music vibe.

Are kids invited to the reception?

Question

Can I take photos at the reception?

Heck yes! We don’t have a hired paparazzi (aka photographer), so we’d love y’all to snap away. We’ll have a QR code so you can share your photos and videos—help us wrangle all the memories!
