What goes with a wedding better than music and drinks with friends? If you answered, “nothing at all,” then Tennessee might just be the place for your perfect elopement. With its rich country music heritage and the long-standing home of famous Tennessee whiskey brands such as Jack Daniels, Tennessee is the place to go for those who want to kick back and have fun. With hundreds of colonial homes and plantation style houses, there are plenty of locations for those who want a traditional style ceremony in beautifully well-kept surroundings. For those who want outdoor adventures, Tennessee is home to some of the highest mountains in North America in the Blue Ridge Mountain ranges. With woodland areas, hiking trails and gorgeously cascading waterfalls, there is no shortage of wedding backdrops served by nature.

Tennessee’s location also makes it a great choice for a summer wedding. With warm temperatures, and being located far enough inland that it avoids the worst effects of tornado season, you can usually get good days throughout the summer months. Winter until spring is mild to cool, and tends to have the most rainy days.
