Hermitage Hotel Wedding

Nashville Wedding at The Hermitage Hotel

Nestled in the heart of downtown Nashville, the historic Hermitage Hotel stands as a timeless symbol of elegance and brilliance, offering the perfect backdrop for a truly magical and elevated wedding celebration. Capturing Emerald and Jackson’s Hermitage Hotel wedding was a privilege, and I’m thrilled to share the incredible day they created. If you’re planning a wedding at this Nashville venue, you’ll find plenty of inspiration from their beautiful celebration!

The Hermitage Hotel has a glamorous and classic style, a truly cherished landmark in Nashville. The hotel features exquisite Beaux-Arts architecture, blending classical Italian and French Renaissance designs that create a breathtaking setting for weddings. The hotel’s grand ballroom features an ornate ceiling and majestic Russian walnut paneling, complementing the hotel’s grandeur. Elegance saturates every corner of this venue, making it an ideal choice for couples seeking a timeless and elevated wedding experience.

The day began at the Hermitage, where Emerald and Jackson prepared for their wedding. The guest suites offer a beautiful design and provide a convenient space for couples and their families to get ready. I love capturing those candid moments that tell the story of a couple’s path to saying “I do.”

Before their ceremony, Emerald and Jackson shared a first look outside in the Cathedral of the Incarnation courtyard. With its striking architecture, this stunning church mirrored the elegance of the Hermitage Hotel, creating a seamless flow of beauty throughout their wedding day. Surrounded by family and friends, they exchanged vows and sealed their commitment with a kiss, drawing cheers from their loved ones. 

Following the ceremony, Emerald, Jackson, and their wedding party boarded a trolley that took us from the church to the Hermitage Hotel for portraits. The energy on the trolley was contagious, with everyone raising their drinks in celebration of the newlyweds. It was such a fun and lively moment that set the tone for the rest of the evening.

Once we arrived back at the Hermitage Hotel, we took advantage of the stunning architecture for their wedding photos.  Emerald and Jackson’s vibrant personalities allowed me to capture genuine, joyful moments that truly reflected their personalities.

The talented team at Enchanted Florist transformed the venue with stunning floral designs, adding pops of color that perfectly complemented the Hermitage’s already exquisite ambiance. The florals breathed life into the spaces, making the cocktail hour and reception feel even more magical. Guests were welcomed with specialty cocktails, a creative guitar guestbook, and beautiful piano music, all while a display of the couple’s engagement photos embellished the entrance to the Veranda Room.

The ballroom, adorned with sparkling chandeliers and intricate details, set the stage for an unforgettable evening. Jackson and Emerald had the opportunity to see the ballroom before their guests entered, a beautiful moment that allowed them to appreciate all their hard work and planning. Everything they had envisioned indeed came together for their Hermitage Hotel wedding.

The reception was a celebration filled with good food, sincere speeches, and dancing to the sounds of the Emerald Empire Band. Guests were treated to cowboy hats that added a playful touch to the evening as they danced the night away. The lively atmosphere was infectious, and it was evident that everyone was having the time of their lives. As the night drew to a close, Emerald and Jackson were sent off in style, with guests lining up and waving pom poms, a truly fun and memorable send-off.

The Hermitage Hotel’s rich history and exquisite design provided the perfect backdrop for Jackson and Emerald’s special day. It was such a fun day to photograph them on their wedding day. Here are some of my favorite photos from their Hermitage Hotel Wedding!
