For Brides
Mission Statement
Our brides are busy professionals who receive a luxury experience through personalized wedding design, and exceptional service from expert vendors who guide them through an efficient planning process in a relaxing and inspiring studio. For Vendors StudioWed Vendors are experts in the wedding industry by maintaining professional certification and/or continuing education. Our vendors provide exemplary customer service and strive to exceed client expectations. Our vendors are respectful and supportive of each other and the StudioWed mission. Benefits of StudioWed for Vendors Selected vendors pay a fee to be a member of the studio. In return, vendors receive studio space to meet with clients in a central location with display space, vendor networking, and comprehensive marketing.
Peek Inside the Studio StudioWed opened in Edgehill Village in February of 2010. Our vendors excel at creating custom touches for weddings and their work can be seen throughout our studio space. The studio is set up as a mix of meeting and display space. Clients can make an appointment or stop by to browse through the work of our talented vendors. Our albums and vendor displays provide inspiration to couples who visit the studio.
The Franchise StudioWed, established in 2008 in Asheville, NC, has grown nationwide in the past 4 years with additional studios in Atlanta, Denver, and Nashville. As the StudioWed brand grows, it is the goal to become the standard for wedding planning.
StudioWed Nashville Wedding Planners Mary Alice Sublett and Leigh Barker opened StudioWed in February 2010 with the hopes of streamlining the wedding planning process for brides in Nashville. Knowing the planning process can be stressful and overwhelming, they wanted to create a haven for engaged couples to find quality vendors and resources to plan their wedding. Mary Alice and Leigh have carefully selected vendors and created a stylish and sophisticated studio where brides can draw inspiration, sip a cup of coffee or enjoy a glass of wine, while meeting Nashville's best vendors.
Signature StudioWed Events THE WEDDING EXPERIENCE The Wedding Experience is perfect for newly engaged couples to jumpstart their journey down the aisle, featuring seminars geared toward helping couples plan a successful wedding.

“Why waste hours and hours trying to go to a million different places, reading a zillion different print pieces or risk dealing with vendors you really know nothing about when you can just go to StudioWed Nashville! You can learn about the best vendors in the city of Nashville, get great discounts on all of their services and book everything you need vendor wise right then and there. Plus, you get to have private appointments in a quiet setting while you drink a glass of wine and let the vendors do the work for you! That's how it should be, by the way :-)” ~ Amy Lysyczyn, Photo Booth Nashville
