Tennessee Wedding Ceremony Sites


Find the right Tennessee site for your beginning as husband and wife.

For the couple who is choosing to say "I do!" in Tennessee, the ceremonial site options are endless. Whether you have always envisioned yourself in a classic religious setting or would like to mix it up a bit and choose a nontraditional site, the state of Tennessee is bound to have a venue that suits your nuptial needs.

A Ceremony Just for You

The Tennessean bride and groom who are looking for a traditional wedding in a church, synagogue, temple or other religious institutions can find a multitude of options available throughout the state. If you don't already have a religious venue in mind, all you have to do is conduct a quick Internet search of "Tennessee religion" and more than 70,000 options will pop up for you to check out. Break it down into the religious affiliation of your choice to make things easier.

If, however, the two of you would like to host a ceremony of a different sort, Tennessee is home to a whole host of unique venues. Here are a few to scope out:

Chapel in the Glen, Gaitlinburg: For nature lovers who seek a small chapel feel, Chapel in the Glen is home to the ideal setting. Nestled in the Great Smoky Mountains, and surrounded by trees and a waterfall, the chapel is breathtakingly beautiful. Couples can get married indoors or outdoors.

Creekside Wedding Chapel, Gaitlinburg: No matter the season, the Creekside Wedding Chapel provides a bride and groom (and their guests) with a simple and intimate ceremony nestled right in the heart of nature.

Riverwood Mansion, Nashville: A stately event is exactly what a classic couple will find in a ceremony at the Riverwood Mansion. Choose from an indoor event or a ceremony in one of the mansion's three picturesque garden areas.

Smokey Mountain Wedding, Gaitlinburg: A Smokey Mountain Wedding is exactly what it sounds like -- a ceremony atop a hillside with the Smokey Mountains as your backdrop. Talk about a scenic wedding!

Changing Things Up for Your Ceremony

Making your ceremony one of a kind can be fun, and two prime spots for uniqueness are your wedding vows and ceremonial music choices. If your ceremony allows, consider penning your own vows and switch up traditional ceremonial music with tunes that represent memories shared between the two of you. Both of these ceremony staples are a great way to make your ceremony stand out.

Your Big Tennessean Day

No matter where you two choose to have your ceremony, Tennessee will be the perfect locale for your union as husband and wife. Be sure to visit sites and make sure you can picture your nuptials taking place in that very spot. Talk to staff members and religious officials to discuss what you are looking for from your ceremony. Don't be afraid to ask questions -- this is your day!
