Amqui Station : Nashville's newest wedding venue!

I don't normally post on just individual locations around town, but I have to tell you, I am in love with this particular one! I am secretly hoping that some of my brides who are still looking for venues will book this place. What is it you say? Well, here's the short story.... Amqui Station is the old train depot that used to be in Madison in the early 1900's. Frequented by thousands of travelers, this depot eventually got dilapidated and run down. They planned to tear it down when country music legend Johnny Cash caught wind of the story. He had a love for trains and decided to purchase the old station and moved it to his personal property. There it stood until his death several years ago. The city of Madison decided to bring it back to it's home town, restored it and built a beautiful new pavilion and visitor's center around it.

So, why do I think you should book this for your wedding?
A) it's CHEAP.  I mean, REALLY cheap.
B) It has SO much unique history behind it.
C) You have very cool historic areas to shoot (the switching station upstairs? how freaking cool is that!) combined with modern amenities (a brand new pavilion, brand new visitors center complete with new bathrooms, meeting rooms, etc)
D) You can stake the lawn for tents, so if the train depot itself is a little too small for your big wedding, no worries!  Just add a tent or two and carry on!
E) The color palette of the station is just beautiful and perfect to combine with your wedding decor.  I love the peachy tones, combined with taupe-y colors, light greys and cremes.  The available light is gorgeous and will photograph fantastically.
F) The coordinator there is super sweet and easy to work with.  Her name is Ashley Bright and her email is: ashleybright77@gmail.com
