Celebrate 120 Years of Love at Union Station Hotel in Nashville

NASHVILLE, TN – Union Station Hotel Nashville has a long history of love: the iconic circa 1900 downtown building that served as the city’s bustling train station until the late 1970s hosted countless weddings in front of the terminal’s large limestone fireplace as lovers hosted hasty ceremonies—from secret elopements to young soldiers shipping off to war—before a train’s departure. Even in the building’s second life as a hotel, Union Station’s grand lobby continues to serve as a beloved backdrop for weddings.

To celebrate 120 years of love this Valentine’s Day, Union Station Hotel offers an evening of special events:

Friends and family members are also invited to attend and enjoy live music, as well as food and drinks at Carter’s, afterward. The ceremony fee per couple is $120.
