Leading up to the big day, we know how important it is to be supported by your best gal pals. Having the encouragement, love, laughs, and guidance they give is critical to having a fun and stress free wedding planning experience. It’s an unspoken understanding that not all of your friends will be able to stand up in your bridal party. Also, if you are hosting a destination wedding, it is very common for guests to be unable to attend for numerous reasons.

If you’re like any girl who had a crush on JT during the early 2000’s, then chances are you are well aware of his adorning love for Memphis, Tennessee. We suggest swapping the overcrowded idea of Nashville for something a bit more funky like Memphis. The mecca of the south for live music, jazz in particular, Memphis will keep the party going all night long. Get artsy during the day by venturing to the Broad Avenue Arts District. For nighttime partying, hit up Beale Street for live music, dancing, and lots of drinking options.
Why We Love This Destination: Memphis is a great substitute for Nashville. While Nashville will always have a special place in our hearts, we know that it can be overcrowded and overpriced for many brides. We are all for getting the most bang for your buck!
