When Maddie and Blake began planning their Nashville wedding, they knew they wanted a celebration that felt deeply personal: one that honored their journey, their people, and the city where their love story truly came to life. Hosted at 14TENN in Nashville, their Friday wedding was equal parts heartfelt, creative, and joy-filled, with thoughtful details woven into every corner of the space.
A Love Story That Led Them Back to Nashville
Maddie and Blake first met through mutual friends back home in Wisconsin, but like many great love stories, theirs took a meaningful pause before fate stepped back in. It wasn’t until both found themselves in Nashville that their relationship rekindled…and this time, it stuck. Choosing to get married in the city where their story truly began made 14TENN the perfect setting for their “I do’s.”
Why They Chose 14TENN for Their Nashville Wedding
For Maddie and Blake, flexibility was key. Maddie describes herself as a true DIY bride, and she wanted a venue that would allow her creativity to shine while still feeling polished and intentional. They loved that 14TENN’s open layout allowed them to completely reimagine the space, from ceremony to reception, all within a venue located in the heart of Nashville.
The ability to personalize the layout, bring in custom décor, and host a seamless room flip made 14TENN the ideal canvas for their vision.
Maddie and Blake worked with 828 Planner, Kali, for month-of coordination, allowing Maddie to focus on her creative vision while trusting that every detail would come together seamlessly.
The couple leaned into a neutral color palette layered with lush greenery, creating a look that felt timeless, elegant, and effortlessly Nashville. Greenery-lined ceremony plants framed the space from the floor up, for an unexpected alternative to traditional barn-door installations, plus doubled as a guest photo moment during the reception.
From the moment guests arrived, it was clear that this wedding was thoughtfully designed with intention and heart.
Personal Touches Guests Loved
Maddie and Blake’s wedding was filled with details that told their story and kept guests engaged all night long, including:
Custom “newspapers” that shared their love story
Personalized corn hole boards for cocktail hour fun
Lounge seating that doubled as a memory table
A dessert spread curated to satisfy Maddie’s sweet tooth
Personalized playing cards at each place setting: both a favor and entertainment while guests waited for the buffet
Couples photos displayed throughout the venue, filling every space with memories
One of their favorite moments of the day? A private picnic for Maddie and Blake as a unique spin on dinner, which gave them a quiet, meaningful pause together amid the celebration.
A Moment You Can Only Get at 14TENN
During couple’s photos outside the venue, a train passed along the nearby railroad tracks, honking and waving as it went by. It was one of those unscripted, magical moments that couldn’t be planned but perfectly captured the spirit of the day and the charm of getting married at 14TENN.
A Broadway-Worthy Dance Floor
Music was one of the most important elements of the day, and Maddie and Blake knew they wanted a band that truly embodied Nashville. With so many musicians to choose from, they felt overwhelmed until their Kali, stepped in.
Knowing exactly what they were searching for, Kali connected them with The Beasley Brothers, a band with residencies on Broadway at Luke Bryan’s and Morgan Wallen’s bars. This resulted in a packed dance floor and an unforgettable night that felt like a true Nashville experience.
A Wedding That Felt Like Them
From the custom details to the Broadway-caliber band and meaningful private moments, Maddie and Blake’s wedding at 14TENN was a true reflection of who they are and where their story began. It was a reminder that when couples are given the freedom to personalize their space, magic happens.
