In the heart of Nashville, Kathryn and Brendan exchanged vows at the Cathedral of the Incarnation, sealing their two-year journey with love and commitment followed by an enchanting night at The Bell Tower.
Their shared passion for city life and travel, coupled with the joy of building their dream home, set the stage for a vibrant celebration at the once historic church turned venue, The Bell Tower. Surrounded by family, friends, Kathryn and Brendan’s wedding was a testament to their deep connection and their excitement for the adventures that lie ahead. As Nashville wedding planners, we always strive to create unforgettable experiences for our clients, and Kathryn and Brendan’s wedding was no exception.
Kathryn found her dream dress at The Bride Room, nestled in Nashville’s Green Hills. With hair and makeup artistry by the talented Agency of Beauty, she exuded a relaxed yet elegant vibe that perfectly complemented her gown. Brendan chose a classic look, with a tuxedo from Mens Warehouse. Needless to say, they made a perfect pair, their styles blending harmoniously.
Kathryn and Brendan’s wedding ceremony took place at the Cathedral of the Incarnation with Father Joe Lubrano officiating. The Cathedral of the Incarnation, located near Vanderbilt University, comfortably accommodates up to 1,000 people and is a stunning example of Italian Renaissance architecture. Designed by Nashville architect Christian A. Asmus, it stands as a testament to Bishop Thomas Sebastian Byrne’s vision, boasting intricate details and grandeur reminiscent of thirteenth-century Italian churches. The Cathedral of the Incarnation in Nashville, TN, is a breathtaking setting for weddings, where couples can say “I do” surrounded by its stunning architecture, beautiful stained glass, and serene atmosphere.
Kathryn and Brendan’s wedding reception at The Bell Tower, a luxurious Nashville event destination, was a modern, elegant affair with a sleek black and white theme. With the ability to accommodate seated dinners for up to 400 and cocktail-style receptions for 700, The Bell Tower stands as the single largest free-standing event venue in downtown Nashville, offering ample room for festivities. The venue, decorated with exquisite floral arrangements by LMA Designs and lit by flickering candles against black tablecloths, radiated sophistication. The cake from Fancy Pants Bakery perfectly embodied the sleek design we envisioned, while the addition of flowers provided an elegant finishing touch. Guests enjoyed a delicious meal catered by The Bell Tower while dancing to music by The Party Feels, complete with fun props by Fathead.com and Flashy Blinky Lights. The modernized charm of The Bell Tower, with its flooded natural light and exposed beams, provided a perfect backdrop for this unforgettable celebration, beautifully captured by Casey King Photo.
