Q + A

Cathedral Parking

The easiest way to find the parking lot is to enter the address 2004 Terrace Pl, Nashville, TN 37203. From there, you can turn left up a slight hill into the Main Lot or right into the overflow. Both of these lots are at the back of the Cathedral and are the only lots available for us to use.

Travel

We are not reserving room blocks!

To give everyone flexibility, we are not reserving room blocks at nearby hotels. However, below are some we would recommend at various price points. Whatever accommodation you choose, be sure to book sooner rather than later. It's peak wedding and football seasons and Vandy is playing Alabama at home so places will book up quickly! If you need help, let one of us know and we will help you find something!

AirBnB

<a href="www.airbnb.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.airbnb.com</a> Highly recommend Airbnb if you can pair up with other guests or are travelling in a group. From what we have found, it is the most cost effective.
