Couples have always eloped for weddings but it seems that there are more elopements than every. No doubt money issues are one of the reasons. But even with an elopement you need a place to get married. It may be a couple in Nashville or a couple coming from another state, but those who are wanting to elope want to know of Nashville wedding elopement sites. For just the couple or maybe a handful of guests, it can be difficult to find something nice without spending more money than you want to. But one idea that both saves money and provides a nice setting is to choose one of the parks in Nashville.

Typically there are two potential problems that couples could have with planning a wedding in a park. These may not affect you if you are eloping and you have no guests. If you do, then they may. What about bad weather than would prevent you from having your ceremony at the predetermined spot? And second, the reception issue is probably not such a problem. Again, you are not having a big wedding with a lot of guests to take care of. Probably if anything you and your fiance and maybe a few guests are going to restaurant nearby for the celebration.

Here are some possibilities for a park for your Nashville elopement wedding.

Nashville's city park is called Centennial Park. This should not be confused, as it sometimes is, with the Bicentennial Park which is located below the state capitol building. Centennial Park though close by is home to the Parthenon - at Nashville's version of it. This is called the Vanderbilt area and the park is surrounded by hospitals and various businesses. You should be sure there isn't a major Vanderbilt football game or other community event taking place the time and date of your wedding. Parking and traffic could be a problem.

Percy and Edwin Warner are two parks but located next to each other in the Belle Meade and Brentwood areas. If you can find Cheekwood you can also find nearby the park entrance to a hill where couples go to get married in the Warner Parks. While there are often a good number of people out and around either walking, hiking, or running, it's usually easy to find a quite private area to have a small wedding ceremony.

Like to get married in a stone chapel at the site where the church actually began? Montgomery Bell Tennessee State Park has just that. It's a beautiful church chapel with steeple that sits in a private area surrounded by trees and a creek flows behind it.

About a 20 minute drive out of Nashville to the south you can find Crockett Park in Brentwood. Within the park is the Cool Springs House, a lovely house for weddings and receptions, as well as other community happenings. The cost of rental is very reasonable especially if you are resident of the county. If not, it's still a great deal.
