Angela & Danny’s Rockabilly Nashville Elopement

When a little bit of rock and roll mixes with old school Nashville, magic happens.

When Angela first called us from Canada to let us know that she and Danny wanted to elope in Nashville we said, “No problem! It’s what we do!!” Then she continued on to say that they wanted to get married at the Ryman Auditorium in two weeks. Well, we love a challenge and what we arranged for them far exceeded their expectations!

Walking down 2nd Avenue in Nashville along side the Ryman Auditorium, the bride and groom hold hands laughing as they look at each other. The bride is wearing a halter neck white pinup dress with black polka dots. She has a black belt and a black crinoline petticoat. The bride has bright red lipstick to match her bright red peep toe shoes with a small bow and her bright red rose bouquet accented with rhinestones and black feathers. The groom is wearing a black silk suit jacket with a paisley pattern, a white shirt with small blue flowers, a red rose boutonniere and dark washed jeans.

Finding the PERFECT Venue

We called the Ryman Auditorium only to find that someone else had beaten us to the punch. Someone else has previously booked the date. Angela and Danny, who love Nashville so much didn’t even mind if they only has a quiet ceremony on the steps of the historic venue.

While we appreciated their desire to be flexible. We wanted them to have a more memorable experience. A simple ceremony on the steps simply would not do. After pulling a few strings, we were able to call Angela and Danny to let them know that their wedding would become part of Nashville history! They were going to be the FIRST couple to ever have their wedding held at the historic RCA Studio B.

You see, Danny had been asking Angela to marry him for a decade. Seeing as how everything was just so perfect between them she saw no need to rock the boat. It wasn’t until Angela’s grandfather, on his death bed, gave Angela her grandmother’s wedding ring and told her to have faith and trust in love. He was blessed with over fifty years with the love of his life, and he only wanted the same for his best girl.

Without Raina (and her amazing vendors) we never would have had, what turned out to be, the most amazing day we could have imagined.”
