Frequently Asked Questions from Nashville Brides:

 

Question: Friday, Saturday or Sunday Weddings – Which are the Best Wedding Days?

For many years brides have thought that Saturdays are traditionally the best days for weddings because their guests will be travelling from out of city or state; however, what many Nashville brides are learning is that their guests will be coming into town for more than their wedding.  Their guests will also want to come to Nashville, Tennessee for the same reasons the bride loves it.

Guests will want to see all of the culture that makes Nashville what’s called “Music City U.S.A”.  So whether you choose a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, your guests will most likely be in town the entire weekend soaking up the city.  The other bonus of choosing a Friday or Sunday for your Big Day, your guests will not have to fight the downtown and city traffic of other Saturday evening events.

Question: Is it weird to have a wedding on a Friday or Sunday or any other day other than a Saturday? What are the Pros and Cons?

No.  In fact it is becoming more of the norm these days because brides realize that sometimes in order to get the site that they want during the time of year that they want they are willing to think outside the box a bit.  Keep in mind that if a venue is open for a Friday wedding, most likely the photographer, planner, florist, band, etc. will also be available to help you on your most important day.  With such an open mind, a bride will be sure to get what she truly wants.
