Things to Do

Downtown Nashville

Broadway

The bars on Lower Broadway are the top attraction in Nashville for good reason. Walk down Broadway between the Bridgestone Arena and the River, and you'll see that Music City lives up to its name with an incredible level of musicianship spilling out of the windows of the Nashville Broadway bars. Ryan prefers spending his time on Broadway at Tootsie's (an old classic), while Paige loves spending time at 5th and Broadway shopping.

Ryman Auditorium

North Nashville

Germantown | Nashville

603 Taylor St, Nashville, TN 37208, USA

With chic restaurants in restored Victorian buildings, and cafes along the brick sidewalks, Germantown exudes period charm. The couple would recommend several great eateries their such as Von Elrod's, Neighbors, and Jonathans.

The Tennessee State Capitol stands today much as it did when it first opened in 1859, and is a magnificent tribute to the people of Tennessee. The Capitol welcomes visitors for guided and self-guided tours.

Midtown

Velvet Taco

An embarrassing amount of tacos have been consumed by the bride and groom from Velvet Taco.

Although the groom can't eat chicken and the bride has never had it... Hattie B's is a Nashville staple and comes highly recommended.

Vanderbilt University

Some might call it the Harvard of the South, others simply call it Vanderbilt. Feel free to walk around Ryan's alma mater where he obtained his master's in Special Education. All jokes aside it's a beautiful campus, and I'm proud of Ryan's accomplishments.



Shameless plug for Lipscomb University- - Paige's alma mater and current employer -- she may not be mighty, but she is fierce.

Local Parks

Thousands of people visit the park each year to visit the museum, see exhibits, attend festivals, and just enjoy the beauty of the park.

Sentimental Favorites

Arrington Vineyards

The couple's favorite date spot and the place that Ryan proposed. Yes, it may be far outside of town, but we HIGHLY recommend it!

Bobbie's Dairy Dip

Growing up this was the go-to place for a dipped ice cream cone. Still one of the best places to get ice cream (but maybe I'm biased).
