You know, its been rare to find fun things for grooms to do during the wedding planning process, until now – enter Uncle Classic Barbershop. They are a classic barbershop with modern flair and taking the Nashville barbershop scene by storm. For all you grooms out there, Uncle Classic offers a variety of services to suit your needs from hair cuts to shaving to shoe shining – they have it all!  Brides, take note – grooms get stressed out too! How about surprising your main squeeze with a classic shave? Or better yet, how about sending your soon-to-be husband with his groomsmen to Uncle Classic while you’re out with your bridesmaids getting mani/pedi’s? So let’s visualize just how wonderful his experience will be:

Meet Mark (one of our very own, StudioWed grooms!). Mark is marrying his sweetheart, Sheri this year and

was so excited to receive his first Uncle Classic Shave.

Mark is receiving the “Uncle Shave” with all the extras – hello relaxation!

He’s loving it…

…such a peaceful look!

Ah! The big reveal (and a happy Mark) with a kiss of approval from Sheri :)

Uncle Classic Barbershop has two convenient locations in Brentwood and Nashville so check them out and tell them StudioWed sent you! Also, grooms, you get a special discount for you and your groomsmen when you book your appointments – contact Leigh at leigh@studiowed.net for the details!

We want to welcome Elegant Event Sitters to the Nashville StudioWed! Brides, if you’re looking to provide babysitting services for your guests, Tish is the lady to call! She is based in the Atlanta area, however provides services country wide. Get to know Tish and Elegant Event Sitters below. Contact her at www.eleganteventsitters.com or through StudioWed Nashville.

5 Things to Know About Elegant Event Sitters, Inc.

1. My name is Tish Davis and I am the owner of Elegant Event Sitters, Inc. I am a single mom of 3 girls in the greater Atlanta area. The business was started in 2004 as a way to supplement income from a full time job in payroll(boooooooooring). As a single mom, I was often faced with the dilemma of securing a sitter or simply just staying home. I soon realized that I was not alone! Parents (single or married) invited to adult-only functions need a something to do with their kids and they want the kids to be safe. I love making parents feel at ease and making sure that the kids have a great time with our sitters.

2. All of our sitters are First Aid and CPR certified and have annual background checks. Due to our work with the military, in some states sitters have been through Homeland Security screening. Safety is our number one priority. As a mom, I understand how difficult it is to leave your children in the care of a complete stranger. That is why we go through a strict screening process to make sure that parents are getting the best possible care for their little ones.

3. We’ve gone green! Making sure that the kids are safe goes beyond stranger-danger and boo-boos. Elegant Event Sitters, Inc. wants to make sure that children are protected from toxins and chemicals found in everyday products. I personally hand make all of the laundry detergent for the linens and blankets. Our cleaning supplies are all non-toxic brands. We typically use Mrs. Meyers, Shacklee or Method. Only non-toxic art supplies are use. Paper plates?? Not at our events! We only use reusable dishes and all of our plastics are BPA free.

4. Elegant Event Sitters, Inc. provides child care for all ages. We’ve had children as young as newborns and as old as 16. Age appropriate activities are key when it comes to mixing multiple age groups in one room. We have the parents pre-register their children online so that we know exactly what ages we will be working with at an event.

5. Elegant Event Sitters, Inc. started in Atlanta but has gone national. We’re working from GA to CA and everywhere in between. Nashville is our newest city and we’re hoping to be able to offer all Nashville brides the opportunity to Party in Peace™!
