Our Experience

The Fontanel offers a wealth of unique activities and concierge services to enhance the wedding experience for couples and their guests.

Nestled in the rolling hills of Tennessee, the Fontanel estate offers a once-in-a-lifetime wedding experience that seamlessly blends elegant refinement with unforgettable adventure. This historic 30,000-square-foot mansion, steeped in music history, provides an unrivaled backdrop for couples seeking to create a truly extraordinary celebration.

 

As guests arrive, they are immediately captivated by the grandeur of the Fontanel Mansion, its ornate interiors and soaring ceilings evoking a bygone era of opulence and charm. Couples can exchange heartfelt vows in the mansion’s opulent halls, surrounded by intricate architectural details that transport them to another time. Or they may opt for an al fresco ceremony by our peaceful ponds and waterfall, nestled in untouched Tennessee forests, creating an ethereal, nature-infused ambiance.

 

The Fontanel team has curated a remarkable selection of experiences to delight and enchant every wedding guest. Adventurous souls can zipline through the tree tops or embark on guided hikes, exploring the property’s 118 acres of pristine countryside. While those seeking a more relaxed pace can enjoy lawn games, yoga classes, live musical performances by local Nashville artists, or a leisurely afternoon relaxing by the ponds or one of our babbling brooks.

 

Elevating the experience to unparalleled heights, the Fontanel’s dedicated concierge services anticipate and cater to our couples’ every need. From custom welcome gifts and personalized itinerary planning to luxury transportation and specialized dietary accommodations, no detail is overlooked.

 

For the reception, couples have the flexibility to choose from a range of stunning event spaces that seamlessly blend old-world charm with modern elegance. The outdoor terrace, with its breathtaking vistas, sets the stage for an unforgettable cocktail hour or alfresco dinner, while the grand ballroom and intimate private dining rooms provide versatile options for lavish celebrations or more intimate gatherings.

 

Throughout your entire wedding, the Fontanel staff goes above and beyond to ensure that every guest feels welcomed, pampered, and captivated by the enchanting ambiance of this one-of-a-kind venue.
