A Romantic Southern Wedding at Nashville’s Riverwood Mansion
Written by Guest Writer - Susan Hawkins
Ahhhh. Those warm, welcoming evenings in the South. Some may complain about the humidity, but nothing puts a glow on a bride’s face like the sultry southern atmosphere—except, perhaps, her groom. With moderate temperatures year-round, the region can host garden weddings about nine months out of the year. Among the hundreds of southern mansions that recall a bygone era, Riverwood Mansion in Nashville, Tennessee, stands out as superb wedding venue.

Riverwood, built in the late 1790’s, is one of Nashville’s oldest homes and a local historical treasure. Lavishly decorated and filled with magnificent furnishings and works of art, the home was recognized as a seat of Southern hospitality for over a century and a half and throughout the years, was the scene of lavish parties honoring many of the South’s most famous and prominent figures. The grounds and gardens are magnificent and exquisitely lit to make your evening wedding and reception sparkle brilliantly.
I’ve been to Nashville a few times, and I can assure you, you and your guests will have a blast in Music City. There are fantastic restaurants, wonderful hotels (the Opryland Hotel will knock your socks off!) and more venues than you can imagine that will satisfy the individual musical taste of all your family and friends.
For an elegant wedding with a contemporary take on the Old South, get married in grand style at in America’s hot spot for music!

This place looks amazing. I’m going to be near Nashville for Thanksgiving and I think I’m going to have to talk my brother into going here.
