Planning your ride for a Music City wedding? Skip the boring and go for something fun and memorable. Here are 10 practical tips to nail your Nashville wedding transportation, from trolleys to limos and beyond.
- Embrace Vintage Trolleys for Charm
Rent a classic trolley from spots like Old Town Trolley for a nostalgic group ride. It’s perfect for shuttling 20-40 guests through downtown—budget $500-$1,500 and book early for peak seasons. - Go Glam with Limos or Stretch SUVs
Opt for luxury from providers like Signature Transportation. Add champagne and playlists for that VIP feel. Great for bridal parties; expect $300-$800/hour, especially in traffic-heavy areas like The Gulch. - Turn Up the Fun with Party Buses
Choose a rolling party from Honky Tonk Party Express, complete with dance floors and karaoke. Ideal for lively groups of 20-50—rates start at $400-$1,200. Sync it with your DJ for non-stop vibes. - Add Romance with Horse-Drawn Carriages
For a fairytale exit, book Sugar Creek Carriages. It’s whimsical for photos in places like Centennial Park, costing $400-$800. Check venue rules, as it’s not ideal for busy streets. - Channel Southern Roots with Classic Cars or Trucks
Rent a vintage Mustang or decorated pickup from Nashville Classic Cars. Budget-friendly at $200-$600, it’s a playful nod to Tennessee style—perfect for rustic weddings. - Choose Eco-Friendly Rides
Go green with bike rentals from BCycle or electric shuttles from WeGo. Low-cost ($100-$500) and fun for urban spots like East Nashville, reducing your wedding’s carbon footprint. - Splurge on Over-the-Top Options
For wow factor, try a helicopter from Helistar Aviation or a boat cruise on the Cumberland River. Pricier ($1,000+), but unforgettable for scenic exits. - Factor in Nashville Traffic
Always add buffer time to your schedule—downtown can be chaotic. Plan routes avoiding Broadway, especially on weekends. Note; this is one of the biggest problems I’ve witnessed as an officiant! - Budget Wisely and Compare
Include gratuity, fuel, and overtime in your costs. Shop packages for deals on multiple vehicles, and aim for off-peak times to save. - Personalize and Coordinate
Tie in Nashville touches like custom signs or local music playlists. Share your timeline with vendors for seamless transitions, and make it reflect your style!
