...our nashville wedding ceremony location...

My list of criteria for our ceremony location is short:

• A church pretty enough on its own to require little decorating
• Good acoustics to showcase our (my) music selections
• Relative proximity to our reception site
• Lots of natural light

A friend told us about Edgefield Baptist Church in East Nashville.

This historic church was built in 1906.  It has gorgeous dark wood and huge stained glass windows throughout the sanctuary.  These pictures don't really do it justice at all.

DG and I have looked into a lot of other churches for our ceremony, but none of them really suited us.  Either the cost didn't fit into our budget, or the room was too big for our guest list, or the rules were too strict.  It was always something.  It just so happens that Edgefield was both our favorite and least expensive of all the churches we've seen.  There's only one hang up.  Being non-members of the church, we are not allowed to reserve our date more than six months prior to our wedding day.  Granted, our six month mark is only four days away at this point, but because of this strict policy, the church has not yet officially confirmed that our date is available.  We do have a back up plan in mind, but I will be really disappointed if this doesn't work out. I'm hoping to hear back from the church staff this week with some final word.  Assuming that works out, we'll have another big peice of the puzzle in place.  Cross your fingers!
