Things To Do
Nashville
While our wedding will be in Lebanon, we implore you to explore a bit during the weekend. Grab a drink on Broadway, drop in to the Johnny Cash museum, or grab a bite to eat anywhere of the places listed.
Franklin, TN
When you think of a Hallmark film, Franklin should come to mind! Our favorite day trip with so many things to do - Drop by for coffee at Frothy Monkey or Fainting Goat, grab ice cream from Kilwins, or just stroll around the picture perfect village.
Hattie B's Hot Chicken - Nashville - Midtown
A right of passage!! Tiff will tell you this is her favorite hot chicken spot, however it was the place she first met her future brother and sister-in-law so she may be a little biased
The Butter Milk Ranch
If you like flights AND biscuits & gravy, we found your new favorite breakfast spot. Just trust us, okay? And show up early, the line is crazy.
Jack Brown's Beer & Burger Joint Germantown
Tiff met Cristian's brother, Marino, over burgers & beers the first night we landed in TN back in 2022. It quickly became a tradition to drop by Jack Brown's once a trip from then on, in part due to how insane and incredible their burgers are.
Smith & Lentz Brewing and Pizza
Craving pizza? You have to try our favorite brewery in East Nashville - Also, make sure you take your pizza to prom!!
The Optimist
We'll take (at least) one of every appetizer! Our favorite spot when people come to visit, The Optimist is an incredible seafood restaurant in Germantown we can't recommend enough.
Chocolate Covered Strawberry
Our local favorite! A simple sandwich spot set in a beautiful brick home, with a chocolate covered strawberry on the side of every meal. It's a family favorite!
Hank's Coffee Station
While Hank's is technically in Franklin, it absolutely deserves its own recommendation! Hank's is a new coffee shop in town, opened by a fellow CA native, with incredible coffee and pastries all tied up in a vintage antique decor bow.
Attaboy
New York friends, you know the place! New to Nashville, Attaboy is a bartender's choice speakeasy which originated in Lower East Side. It's moody and great for a date night. Put your name in and drop by the pinball machine bar next door while you wait for a table.
Lucky Bastard Saloon
We don't often visit Broadway Street, but if we do you know we're gonna drop by Lucky Bastard for a quick pickle backshot and some live music.
The Hermitage Hotel
We stayed at this hotel during our first vacation and we've loved it ever since - The architecture, the afternoon tea, the men's bathroom (If you know, you know). It can't be beat.
I Believe In Nashville Mural
If you're looking to sneak in a tourist pic while you're in town, look no further! This photo is from our first of many TN trips.
Belle Meade Historic Site & Winery
For those history buffs with a few hours to spare, Belle Meade is a great option! From complimentary wine tastings to historic tours, Belle Meade immerses guests in Tennessee history and hospitality.
Hermitage Golf Course
While there are numerous golf courses in the area, the boys would recommend Hermitage Golf Course. Preferably the President's Reserve, if you have the option. Make sure to say hi to the sheep while you're there!
Johnny Cash Museum
For the music fans, the Johnny Cash museum is a must. We visited during a trip with Tiff's family and it was incredible. Prepare for quite a crowd, who can blame them?
Bridgestone Arena
If there's a concert, game, or any other event of interest going on during your stay... definitely go. Not on Saturday, of course. You've got big plans!
112 Antique Mall
Wholesome recommendation time: If you need Tiff on any given Sunday, you'll find her here. She takes after her grandma and loves a good antique store. Our beautiful home is made up of a few pieces from this specific location!
True Form Fitness: A Lagree Studio
Since we moved to TN, Tiff has found her community through the health & wellness industry here - TrueForm being the heart of it all. She's even recently finished her Lagree certification and teaching at TF!
Full Ride Cycling
Another Tiff favorite - Cristian tagged along one time (like the amazing fiancé he is) and has never returned. In his defense, he doesn't know how to ride a bike!
D1 Training Hendersonville
Time for Cristian's favorite workout! High intensity group training available in multiple locations - This one is the closest to us (and our wedding venue!) but there's also another location right next to TrueForm.
