When you think of Nashville you think country music, Titans, Vanderbilt among other things. But what you might not realize is that Nashville is home to some of the best vendors in the country – musicians, photographers, stylists, caterers, florists, eventplanners – you name it, Nashville has them.

Why? Nashville knows how to do events and they do a lot of them. These vendors are all here for the entertainment, corporate, sports, and medical communities and at any given day they cater to some of the biggest names and corporations in the country. You can benefit from having these incredible resources for your own special day.

Think you have to have a year or more to plan your wedding? Just this weekend, Aspen & Thomas were married at Front Porch Farms and we did it in less than 3 months. Aspen & her mother Elaine lived in Colorado and we secured all the vendors and lined up details long distance within a few short weeks. It was a spectacular day with many details and personal touches. With the fabulous vendors and services Nashville has to offer, it doesn’t take any time at all to pull together a memorial and unique event.
In fact, some of your best deals can be last minute bookings with vendors who want to fill in unbooked dates.

Think you can’t have live music at your ceremony? Talented musicians are every where – from full time players to people who do it just for fun. We are home to some of the top artists in the country – and not just country music. If they don’t live here many of them come here to record their music. What does that mean? Band members, session players, back-up singers and
talented people from all over the world here to make their dreams come true.

I know first hand how easy it is to pull together a top notch event in no time. Brian and I got engaged in August of 2004 and I wanted a fall wedding. I made some calls and did the rest online – even my vintage wedding dress and Brian’s antique platinum wedding band were found on Ebay! We had an incredible 50s band (Sons of Beaches) and Ambrosia Catering (who has catered
many top music industry functions I have attended) did an amazing job for not a ton of money.  My ceremony music included a country singer and some award-winning songwriter/musicians…who weren’t touring at the time.

These great resources are out there for you also – and who knows your caterer might be the same who just catered a Titan’s dinner party or your florist might be the same person doing flowers for a big name country singer or your DJ might have recently been at a celebrity’s birthday party.

After all, you are the STAR of your own event and Nashville vendors will treat you like one.
