Welcome to the heart of country music, where the vibrant melodies of Nashville beckon you to explore its rich culture and unforgettable experiences. I'm your dedicated travel specialist, and I've had the privilege of immersing myself in Nashville's unique charm on numerous occasions. Whether you're planning a memorable getaway, a milestone celebration, a girls' weekend, or an unforgettable CMA Festival experience, I'm here to make your journey extraordinary.


A World of Accommodations at Your Fingertips:Nashville offers a diverse range of accommodations to suit every traveler's preferences. I've explored this city's hospitality from downtown hotels, offering the pulse of the city's energy, to charming boutique hotels tucked away in various neighborhoods. Let me curate your stay, ensuring you experience the Nashville that resonates with you.


Discovering the Sights and Sounds of Music City:Nashville is more than just country music; it's a symphony of history, culinary delights, and stunning estates. Consider a visit to Cheekwood Estate and Gardens, a hidden gem boasting a mansion-turned-art gallery set amidst sprawling acres of botanical beauty. It's a tranquil oasis in the heart of Music City.If you're downtown, don't miss Fifth and Broadway, a dynamic mixed-use development that seamlessly blends offices, residential units, museums, and exquisite dining. It's a fantastic place to explore culture, dine, and appreciate Nashville's vibrancy.


Family Adventures and Relaxation Awaits: For families, the Nashville Zoo is a must-visit destination. Engage in interactive exhibits like Lorikeet Landing and Critter Encounters, or meet the elephants, meerkats, and flamingos in the menagerie. It's an unforgettable experience for all ages.When it's time to cool off, SoundWaves at the Gaylord Opryland Resort offers an upscale indoor and outdoor water facility. With its wave pool, thrilling slides, and relaxing rivers, it's a year-round oasis for both kids and adults. Private cabanas and dining options make it an all-encompassing experience.


Delving into History at The Hermitage:History buffs will appreciate a visit to The Hermitage, the former home of President Andrew Jackson. This iconic estate, now a museum, sits amidst over 1,000 acres of grandeur. Explore the stately mansion and beautiful gardens, and don't miss the interactive exhibit "Andrew Jackson: Born for a Storm" that brings history to life.


The Grand Ole Opry Experience:No visit to Nashville is complete without experiencing the Grand Ole Opry, where country music legends of the past and present grace the stage. As your travel specialist, I can arrange backstage tours, where you'll get to explore themed dressing rooms and gain insight into the magic that happens behind the scenes.

The Best Travel Agent EVER!
Dawn is one of the most knowledgable, personable, seasoned and detail oriented travel agent I've had the pleasure to work with. She has handled both my national and international travel for years, both personally and professionally. I've become so spoiled by her knowledge and experience, I find it very hard to book anything without her help! She is fantastic, dependable, and so nice to work with. Five stars! Won't find anyone better.
