Nashville Elopement Cost Breakdown — What $575 Actually Includes (2026)

In summary: All-inclusive elopement packages Nashville TN couples book through Elopements Inc. range from $575 to $2,975. The $575 base — Just Married at Nashville Wedding Chapel or Spring Haven Mansion — covers the venue, a licensed Tennessee officiant, professional photography with 25–50 edited images, ceremony coordination, and full guidance through the Davidson County marriage license. Tennessee has no waiting period and no residency requirement, so the only separate expense is the $100 license fee paid in person to the county clerk.

Nashville elopement package tiers, line by line

Nashville pricing is set by venue. Nashville Wedding Chapel and Spring Haven Mansion both start at $575 Just Married. Belmont Mansion offers the full four-tier range up to Friends and Family at 40 guests. Centennial Park starts higher because the Metro Parks permit and the Parthenon-lawn setup take more coordination.
