A mere 23 days after our wedding ceremony on Maui, LeBraun, myself and our families hosted our wedding reception at Nashville’s L.A. Jackson, atop the Thompson in the trendy Gulch neighborhood. And Y'all, we ROCKED that rooftop! Seriously the band was on fire, the drinks were flowing, and there was a charcuterie board the length of a whole wall! We couldn't have asked Nashville for a more perfect evening or for a more perfect venue.

We’ve been blessed to have so many amazing people in our lives and were honored to have so many of them be able to celebrate with us. A HUGE shoutout to Ruby and her team at the Thompson, all the vendors who helped us create an extraordinary evening, and of course White Heart Wedding Films for capturing it so wonderfully.

#shabraun | Our Wedding Reception in Nashville

September 9, 2019

So we had an amazing time in Hawaii and an intimate destination wedding was definitely right for our big day, but we’ve grown up together for the last 13 years. That’s 13 years of integrating our lives including family and friends so it seemed only appropriate to have a big, blowout reception when we arrived back in Nashville…here’s how it went down!

Here’s how we added a little #shabraun flair to our receptions without blowing our budget.
