The Sloane: Nashville Wedding Venue Series

A European wedding venue in the heart of Nashville

A wedding venue doesn't just hold the celebration, it shapes it.

Oftentimes before a couple chooses a color pallete, florals and linens, they choose the space of which it will be held. Your wedding venue is the backdrop for every conversation, tear shed, and your most precious memories from your day. Where you choose to host your day matters.

As a Nashville wedding photographer, this is one of my new favorite wedding venues in town! If you’re looking for an elevated, intimate and European influenced venue, then this might just be the place for you…

An intimate wedding venue, without feeling too small.

Many venues feel either too large and impersonal, requiring you to fill a lot of space. Or they feel too small and restrictive. The Sloane is the perfect size, holding up to 200 for standing room.

From the moment you arrive, The Sloane feels like a place you can call home for the day. What started as an abandoned historic home became one of the most elegant properties in all of Germantown. With influences from Parisian and London design, you'll spend your day surrounded by beauty and elegance. One of my personal favorite features are the high ceilings.

The original design idea of The Sloane was very different, but after the family’s trip to Europe, they decided to change their design plans. The wallpaper, the elegant light fixtures and marble flooring… it truly feels like you’ve been transported to Paris..

In the heart of Germantown: Why your wedding venue location matters.

Not only does the venue influence the tone of the day, but so does the neighborhood. Germantown offers so much to you and your guests, and in true European fashion, it is extremely walkable (unlike the rest of the city). From coffee shops, to parks, bars and restaurants - it's a great place to rent an AirBnB, or stay at the beautiful Germantown Inn

A blank canvas for designing your dream wedding.

Oftentimes venues are either too bare, requiring you to put in an enormous amount of effort just to elevate the space. Or they are extremely distinct with an aesthetic that doesn't leave much room for personalization.

The Sloane sets a standard of elegance, but is a blank canvas that can be molded into whatever it is you're envisioning.

A Nashville wedding venue with a beautiful outdoor space to match the interiors.

There’s never a guaruntee that a venue’s outside and garden area will live up to the reputation of the interiors. But that is not the case with The Sloane.

With a beautiful back patio that can be used in the warmer months, or winter with proper tenting and heating, it is a beautiful extension of the ballroom. Just a few steps away you will find their petit jardin - the perfect garden space for either a small ceremony, first look, or family portraits.

The front of the historic home has the most darling porch. You’ll definitely want to take advantage of it for individual, or couples portraits!
