Beautiful venue, incredible service

The entire hotel is absolutely gorgeous. The venues are beautiful and require little to no additional decoration. The staff is outstanding. Celebrity services and our event manager was always just a phone call away and immediately took care of any issue that arose and anything else we needed for our entire stay, no matter how big or small. They made us feel so special and made everything so seamless. We would absolutely recommend this venue. It costs a little more, but the services they provide and the way they make you feel is absolutely worth it.

Great service, beautiful hair!

This is my regular salon here in Nashville, so when we decided to host our wedding at Opryland Resort, the salon was an easy pick. My hair looked amazing, and they got us in and out in an hour! (Free mimosas are always a plus!!)

The team at Opryland was amazing to work with. Masel and Nelson were great! They also have a company 'Sweetwater' that did the set up and take down which was awesome! It was a destination wedding so everything was done via email/phone. They went above and beyond making sure I was happy with everything. And it's a breathtaking venue!! :)

We were placed on a 20month waiting list for our wedding day...and IT WAS WORTH IT! You truly get what you pay for with Opryland. Yes, you pay a primo price...But you receive a primo service! Our wedding was perfect! All of the staff are so amazing!

I planned the wedding of my brother and sister-in-law. They turned everything over to me and just asked that I make their day beautiful. The staff at Opryland Hotel made the process so easy. Attention was paid to every detail of the event. The bride and groom were beyond happy with the results and we were all able to just relax and enjoy the special day.

The wedding planning staff were incredibly helpful, especially given that we were planning our wedding from several states away and moved twice over the course of our engagement. The Celebrity Services (private concierge) staff were also amazing, providing everything we asked for (including "emergency" cranberry juice for the flower girl) with little or no notice.

My husband and I just got married on July 14, 2014. It was positively a dream come true! Maureen and Valerie were always available for any questions I had leading up to the wedding, and they quickly responded. We got married at the Lion's Head Fountain within the Garden Conservatory. It was perfect for our small ceremony. (We only had 12 guests). Maureen suggested that we have our reception at Ravello, and it was AMAZING! Everyone at our reception was talking about how excellent the food and service was. They had even closed the restaurant for us so that we were the only focus. They created personalized wedding menus that we got to keep.
Maureen also made sure that we had a suite so that I could get ready on one side and the guys could get ready on the other side. We were VIP guests the whole time we stayed, and they treated us like royalty. I would recommend Opryland to anyone who is getting married. It's a perfect venue if you want the feeling of an indoor/outdoor wedding. :) Absolutely incredible!
