If you choose to rent a car for a few days, we recommend using the app Turo. (It's like the Airbnb of vehicles.) If you don't want to rent a car, you can get to Nashville, Spring Hill (our venue's city), Thompsons Station, and Franklin from BNA via Uber or Lyft.

In an effort to minimize distractions and encourage guests to be present in the moment, we would prefer an unplugged ceremony.
Question
What will the weather be like?
Answer
Afternoon high temperatures tend to be comfortable late in October, generally averaging near 68-70 F. Late night and early morning low temperatures will likely be near 50 F. During October you can expect, on average, about 13 sunny, 8 partly sunny, and 10 mostly cloudy days. There will normally be 8-9 days with some measurable rain, however, only 2-3 of these will record 0.5 inches (13 mm) or more.
Question
We're getting into town early/leaving later -- what activities do you recommend?
Answer
FOR THE MUSIC LOVERS: One of the most famous things in Nashville is seeing a show at the Grand Ole Opry or the Ryman Auditorium. Andrew and I LOVE the Grand Ole Opry! But if you’re in the mood for more spontaneous fun, then the most popular option is to visit the bars on Broadway, which have a variety of live bands every night of the week. For the music-museum fans, then you have to check out the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Johnny Cash Museum. FOR THE HISTORY LOVERS: Nashville has a rich history, and there are many beautiful historic homes that provide excellent educational information. First on this list is Andrew Jackson’s home, The Hermitage. Now Andrew Jackson might not make your list of top-5 favorite presidents of all time, but he is a significant part of Nashville’s history. Every home-grown Tennessean that I’ve ever met went to The Hermitage on their 7th grade field trip, and it is truly a beautiful site. The Ladies of the Hermitage have put together an informative museum on the grounds of the home, and they strive to provide a thorough and accurate history of the property and man who lived there. Our personal favorite historic site is Belle Meade. We HIGHLY recommend taking the Belle Meade Bourbon Tour in the old ice house. (Reservations are required but easy to get!) FOR THE OUTDOOR LOVERS: The grounds and gardens of Cheekwood is one of the prettiest cultivated spots in Nashville. The main house does have a small museum with rotating exhibits, so you never know what you’ll find inside. Visit in Fall for fabulous pumpkin displays and a glimpse of the changing leaves. Cheekwood has the Lindy and Larry McDaniel stamp of approval! For other recommendations -- call us! We'd love to pitch how great Tennessee is... and why you should move here ;)
