Getting there and around

Arriving: Nashville International (BNA) is about 15 minutes from downtown, with direct flights from most US cities.

  • Downtown, The Gulch and Midtown are close together. Rideshare is the easiest way between them.
  • Broadway is very busy on weekend nights. Pick a pickup spot a block away for rides.
  • Most guests do not need a car unless your venue is in the countryside around Franklin or Leiper's Fork.
  • For a group night out, a party bus or shuttle beats waiting for a dozen rideshares.

Booking rooms for your wedding group

  • Most guests come in high season (April to May, September to October). Set up a room block or share hotel picks 9 to 12 months ahead, because good rooms go first.
  • Keep guests in one or two areas if you can. Shared shuttles and meeting points get much easier.
  • Guests here mostly need a car or a driver. Staying close to the venue, or booking a wedding-night shuttle, saves a lot of late-night stress.
  • Ask hotels for a group rate with no attrition penalty, a cut-off date about 30 to 60 days before the wedding, and free delivery of welcome bags.
