Before you write down a single name, envision the kind of celebration you want. Are you planning a luxe ballroom affair, a romantic garden party, or an intimate countryside elopement? Your wedding guest list should align with your venue’s size, your wedding aesthetic, and the atmosphere you want to create. Many upscale wedding venues in Nashville have specific capacity limits, which naturally guide how many guests you should include.

As a Nashville wedding photographer, I’ve seen how finalizing your guest list early on can set the tone for a thoughtful, elegant experience. Whether you’re dreaming of a Nashville wedding or a destination wedding in Tennessee, knowing your guest capacity helps shape the day around intimacy, meaningful moments, and exceptional detail.

This is such an exciting time in your life, and you will almost certainly have a few or more questions as you begin the process of organizing your wedding. Finding the perfect dress is an important part of the wedding planning process, and whether you’ve been dreaming of this day since you were a little girl or the idea of trying on a bunch of white dresses isn’t your cup of tea, we want to help you make this experience as enjoyable and stress-free as possible, and we want to celebrate with you!
