Week
Romantic
Locations Where the Two of You Can Remember the King
Elvis Presley
is remembered in songs and movies (not to mention countless impersonator
shows and even Vegas wedding ceremonies) but the attention really turns
to the King every August. Elvis Week, which culminates on the anniversary
of Elvis' death on August 16, remembers the superstar with special events,
many in Memphis, Tennessee.
Graceland
Reception
Venues Near Graceland The most famous voice of Tennessee
is that of Elvis Presley and, for many couples, a visit to Memphis is
not complete without a tour of Graceland, once home to the town's most
famous resident. Although Elvis Presley’s famous home is open for
guided tours, it is not available for private functions including weddings
and receptions--but you will find many venues close by including the
Graceland Mansion Chapel in the Woods!
Gone
to Graceland Touring
the home of Elvis Presley is surprisingly like touring a home of a presidential
or historic figure with a dignified tour through the mansion.
Memphis
Celebrations: Graceland always plans special events for Elvis Week;
check the official site
for specifics. The city of Memphis
also hosts many special events, from concerts to dance parties.
