Destination wedding · Nashville
In short
Destination wedding in Nashville starts at $4,800: 10 hours on location with a photographer who works in Nashville, and 700 edited photos delivered to a private gallery within 6 weeks.
Why choose Destination wedding in Nashville?
A destination wedding in Nashville is a ten-hour celebration, or one split across two days, covered by two photographers and delivered as 700 or more retouched images within six weeks, priced from $4,800. Couples fly into Nashville International Airport from elsewhere because the city doubles as the guests’ weekend: a welcome party on Lower Broadway on Friday and a ceremony on Saturday. The two-day split suits that shape best, with the welcome night photographed in neon and the wedding day photographed from getting ready to the send-off.
Worth knowing about Nashville
Metro Nashville Parks accepts wedding date requests one calendar year ahead, first come, first served, and a ceremony with amplified sound or alcohol needs Park Board approval 60 days before the date. Full payment falls due 30 days out, so a couple planning a Nashville destination wedding in a Metro park from another state works to those three deadlines.

FAQ — Destination wedding in Nashville
How far ahead should we book a Nashville park for a destination wedding?
Up to a year. Metro Nashville Parks takes wedding date requests one calendar year in advance on a first-come basis, and Saturdays go first. A ceremony with amplified sound or alcohol also needs Metro Park Board approval 60 days ahead, plus a $1,000,000 certificate of insurance naming Metro Parks when alcohol is served.
Is the welcome party covered in a Nashville destination wedding package?
Yes. The Nashville destination wedding package includes welcome-party or rehearsal-dinner coverage within ten hours, or split over two days, with a second photographer throughout. For a Nashville weekend that usually means a Friday evening on or near Lower Broadway and a Saturday wedding.
