Olivia Sweitzer and Holden Mobley met in February 2015, when they were students at Belmont University. He was a philosophy major and played basketball for the Bruins, and she was studying music business. They became engaged in December 2019 on a trip to New York. Olivia was led by rose petals to a private rooftop terrace in Lower Manhattan, where Holden was on one knee to pop the question.

They married on a Sunday in May 2021 at 14TENN in Nashville, with the groom’s brother Hunter officiating and pianist Christopher Phillips playing the wedding music. The bride wore a custom dress and cape by New York designer LEIN Studio with blue Carolina Herrera shoes. The groom wore a custom blue suit by Stephen Richards Jr. of Richards Bespoke and blue leather shoes to complement his bride’s. FLWR Shop designed Olivia’s bouquet of white roses.

For the reception, the bride changed into a vintage yellow Carolina Herrera gown. DJ Aaron Traylor brought the tunes, G Catering provided the dinner and Dessert Designs created the Hallelujah Cake. Music City Tents & Events designed the tablescapes and décor, and Sumner Smith of Sumner Smith Events + Design coordinated the celebration.

On Friday, the groom’s parents kicked off the festivities with a welcome party on their front lawn on Woodmont Boulevard. Fox’s Donut Den provided warm donuts for the occasion. Saturday morning, the wedding party, along with family members, gathered downtown at Noelle for the rehearsal luncheon, with live music provided by Jaimee Paul and Leif Shires. Guests took home mugs and cookies specially designed by the groom’s sister Campbell and Lauren Rives of Peak Cookies.

After a wedding trip to Miami, the couple returned to Nashville, where Olivia is a fashion stylist with The Only Agency and Holden is a wealth manager at Taylor Wealth Solutions. They are both graduates of Belmont. Olivia grew up and went to school in Madison, Connecticut, and Holden is an alumnus of Ensworth School at Red Gables, Montgomery Bell Academy and University of Kentucky College of Law. Their parents are Kristina and Scott Sweitzer of Madison, Connecticut, and Diana and Jeffrey Mobley of Nashville.
