The Ceremony: Wightman Chapel

I had planned the perfect day; it was easy, convenient and logistically flawless. Until we realized that our guest list was out growing our venue. Our space could hold up to 125 for the ceremony and 200 for the reception. Because we had hoped to have both the ceremony and reception in the same location we were limited to 125. We finally came to terms with the fact that we would need to find a new ceremony location and set out on a search. Well, as it happened, my future MIL was on it! She was an event planner for the Tennessee Trail Lawyers and knows all the good spots and how to find the right people to talk to. She was able to learn that one of Nashville's prime wedding ceremony locations was amazingly available ON OUR DATE due to another couple cancelling. So I can now say we have booked the insanely beautiful Wightman Chapel at Scarritt-Bennett Center in Nashville. Originally a center for missionaries and teachers it has now been transformed into a non-denominational campus for spiritual retreat and hosted Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1957.
