The temple was built next to an existing meetinghouse about twenty miles southwest of Nashville. The temple's exterior is constructed from Imperial Danby white marble and has a single spire topped with the familiar statue of the angel Moroni. It serves 13,000 members in the Tennessee area.

During the open house held May 6-13, 2000, almost 25,000 people toured the temple. Non-members were given a chance to see what a Mormon temple looks like inside. President James E. Faust dedicated the Nashville Tennessee Temple on 21 May 2000.

The Nashville Tennessee Temple has a total floor area of 10,700 square feet, two ordinance rooms, and two sealing rooms.
