  1. Belmont Mansion

Kevin Oliver - Flickr A historic mansion that lies on the campus of Belmont University, you would be surrounded by history and high academia in this lovely spot. The venue is also available for weddings, so this could be the perfect southern setting for your new beginning. (1900 Belmont Blvd)

  1. Opryland Hotel

Prayitno - Flickr The Opryland Hotel is the stuff of legends. It boasts a rambling campus, indoor rivers and fountains and a stunning window-studded ceiling that’s all sorts of romantic. Plus, you can finish out the evening with a delicious dinner by their gurgling waterways. (2800 Opryland Drive)

  1. Arrington Vineyard

Megan Morris - Flickr Tennessee may not be extensively known for their wines, but we’re pretty proud of Arrington Vineyard, located just outside of Nashville. The area boasts stunning views and wedding venues - you know, just in case. (6211 Patton Road)

  1. Hidden Lake Loop

Mark B - Flickr Located in Harpeth River State Park, Hidden Lake Loop is a gorgeous hike that is just under two miles. It takes you out into the stunning Tennessee wilderness, to a small lake that used to be a working quarry - it’s absolutely beautiful. (1640 Cedar Hill Road)

  1. Radnor Lake

Michael Hicks - Flickr As one of the most popular hikes in the Nashville area, it would make sense that Radnor Lake would make an appearance. This gorgeous area features an easy loop that takes you up into the hills and down towards the waterfront, all perfect places to get down on one knee. (1160 Otter Creek Road)

  1. Downtown Franklin

Brent Moore - Flickr Downtown Franklin has been recognized as one of the best small town main streets in the United States on multiple occasions, so whether you’re ducking in to a bakery, enjoying a show at the Franklin Theatre or grabbing a high-class dinner, this is the place to whip out that ring. (Main Street)

  1. Pedestrian Bridge

  1. Leipers Fork

Kevin Oliver - Flickr You’ll drive about forty-five minutes from Nashville to get to Leipers Fork, a tiny town that hosts less than 500 people and the original Puckett’s. Their tiny amphitheater is the perfect place to pop the question.

  1. Centennial Park

Green Netizen - Flickr Ah, Centennial Park. Heralded by runners and students and the domineering Parthenon. The expansive park boasts a small lake and multiple tree swings, each one more romantic than the last. (2500 West End Ave)

  1. Cheekwood Art & Botanical Gardens

Michael Hicks - Flickr There’s nothing more beautiful than an afternoon spent in the Cheekwood Gardens. The only bummer about this spot is you have to pay an entrance fee, but its worth it for the gorgeous and romantic backdrop. (1200 Forrest Park Drive)
