Parking

There is plenty of free street parking available around The Cordelle! A small parking lot is also available on a first-come, first-served basis with additional security provided for the duration of the evening. Signage will be posted directing to the lot. Security located at The Cordelle will also be able to direct guests to the lot if needed. The venue’s central location also makes it an easy and convenient spot for ride-sharing!

PLEASE NOTE

Our wedding will take place on a Friday! For our local guests, we hope it’s a fun way to kick off the weekend, and for those traveling in, we hope you’ll take the opportunity to enjoy the rest of the weekend exploring Nashville.

Adult-Only Celebration

While we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adults-only celebration unless specifically noted on your invitation. We hope you enjoy a night off to celebrate with us!&nbsp;

Attire

Cocktail attire. Think long, elevated evening dresses, along with suits or tailored jackets. Garden-friendly footwear recommended as the ceremony will be outdoors, weather permitting.

What time should I arrive?

Our ceremony will begin promptly at 5pm Central Time. Please plan to arrive between 4:30-4:45 to enjoy a welcome drink and ensure you're seated in time!

Can I bring a plus one?

Due to space and planning constraints, we’re only able to accommodate the guests listed on your invitation. If a plus one is included, it will be clearly stated. Thank you so much for understanding—we can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Can I take photos and videos at your wedding?

We ask for you to be unplugged for the ceremony, but you can take as many photos and videos as you please throughout the rest of the evening. Feel free to share them with us afterwards - we would love to see them!

Will your wedding be indoors or outdoors?

Weather permitting, our ceremony and cocktail hour will take place outdoors, followed by an indoor reception. As Tennessee weather can be unpredictable, we recommend planning layers accordingly and wearing garden-friendly footwear.

Will there be meal options for guests with dietary restrictions or allergies?

Absolutely. We want everyone to be able to enjoy themselves! Please let us know about any dietary restrictions or allergies when you RSVP, and we’ll do our best to accommodate.

The Details

Our Story

Wedding Party

For those traveling in from out of town, we couldn't be more grateful to be able to celebrate with you! Luckily, Nashville offers no shortage of places to stay. We chose not to book a hotel block to allow our guests the freedom to find the location and style of stay that works best for them. The Cordelle sits on the southern edge of Downtown, making it a convenient and central option no matter which neighborhood you choose. For those booking an Airbnb, we recommend the Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood for it's proximity to the venue. A bit farther out, 12 South is another great neighborhood option, offering walkability to a variety of local shops and restaurants.
