Recommendations

Gorgeous but Pricey — An Eventective User from Nashville, TN
I have always wanted to get married at Cheekwood. However, when we looked into their prices and policies we realized how expensive they are. The grounds and gardens are beautiful, but the rental is expensive and you have to use their catering and alcohol distributor. Their are several different options for different spaces for you to rent (Museum of art, etc.) but the nicest areas are VERY expensive. However, it's very beautiful so I guess it's probably worth it.
