Yesterday was my first wedding event at the Parthenon in Nashville. I grew up in Nashville and remember visiting it as a child. At that time, I did not appreciate its style and grace. Just the outside demands reverance and awe-gaping expressions. What a cool place to have an event, let alone a serene event, such as a wedding. I’m sure this day will never be forgotten, not just for two special people, but for those that attended.
The wedding was performed at the base of “Athena” in the main chamber of the museum. “Athena”, an armed warrior goddess, appears in Greek mythology as a helper of many heroes, including Odysseus, Jason, and Heracles. In Classical Greek myths she never consorts with a lover, earning the title Athena Parthenos (“Athena the virgin”), hence the name of her most famous temple, the Parthenon, on the Acropolis in Athens.
After the beautiful ceremony, the guests moved to the art museum for passed appetizers and a tour of the famous gallery.
The main reception was served in the Treasury Room. This summer reception menu included Fruit and Cheese Displays, Mini-Barbeque Sandwiches, Baked Onion Dip, Teriyaki Chicken Skewers, as well as Chips and Salsa. The bride selected a special Mai Tai Punch as well. 
The Dessert Bar included a cupcake tower and assorted cookies.
I certainly enjoyed working with Laura at the Parthenon and hope to do many more events there. We are now a preferred vendor at the Parthenon.
Overall, the day was a success!
