Grace D'Angelo
Sales Manager
Grace D’Angelo is an event specialist with Nashville Riverboats who loves turning wedding days into unforgettable celebrations on the water.
Originally from New York but raised in Tampa, Grace brings a blend of East Coast energy and laid-back coastal charm to every event she plans. As a non-Nashville native, she loves helping couples (and their guests!) experience the city in a fresh, exciting way—especially from the river.
Weddings are truly a family affair for Grace—her twin sister also works onboard, which makes every celebration feel even more special behind the scenes.
When she’s not planning weddings, you can find Grace with her dog, Henry, who is always ready for a walk or a car ride (his two favorite things). She’s all about good energy, great views, and making sure every couple feels taken care of from start to finish.
Grace’s goal is simple: make the planning process easy, the experience fun, and the wedding day something you and your guests will be talking about long after the last song plays.

We had our wedding on The Capitol with Nashville Riverboats and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. We knew we wanted to book them for our venue as soon as we visit...
ed. The team was responsive to every question we had and made accommodations whenever we needed them. What really stood out was how much the management cared about making our day successful, especially since we were their first wedding on The Capitol. The boat itself is spacious and stunning, and being on the river led to beautiful views of downtown Nashville that made the perfect backdrop for our celebration. Everything felt perfect, and our guests couldn't stop talking about the unique setting and amazing the food was. We'd absolutely recommend Nashville Riverboats to any couple looking for a special place to get married.
