    Set on a quiet country road in Dickson, less than an hour from Nashville, Firefly Lane is a private event venue offering two distinct onsite spaces: The Chapel and The Barn. Together they give planners the flexibility to design anything from an intimate gathering to a large-scale celebration, all on one property. The Chapel centers on 200-year-old arched windows and grand double doors. Its open-air design pairs vaulted ceilings, wooden pews, and romantic lighting with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. Nearby, an outdoor patio with lounge seating and lawn games extends the footprint for cocktail hours, receptions, or standalone gatherings. The Barn brings a rustic-elegant counterpoint, with warm wood tones, exposed beams, and open sightlines built for larger seated events or receptions that need more room to move. Between the two venues, we offer several distinct ceremony location options across the property, from the chapel's arched entry to open lawn and garden settings, so planners can select the backdrop that best fits their event concept. A glass reception hall completes the property with floor-to-ceiling windows, handcrafted farm tables, chandeliers, and firefly lights for an elevated indoor-outdoor experience. Firefly Lane hosts 50 to 200 guests and welcomes corporate functions, galas, milestone celebrations, nonprofit fundraisers, private parties, and weddings alike. Our team manages the logistics and details so planners can focus on the vision. Ready to see it in person? Book a tour and picture your next event at Firefly Lane.

    Acme Feed and Seed occupies a Nashville landmark on Lower Broadway built in 1890, a building that spent more than fifty years as Acme Feed & Hatchery, a local farm supply store known for its Grand Ole Opry appearances, before sitting vacant and reopening in 2014 as a restaurant, live music venue, and event space. The building's history is still visible throughout, from exposed brick walls to reclaimed wood details that give the venue its character. The venue spans multiple floors, each suited to a different kind of gathering. The second floor works well for semi-private cocktail parties, launch events, and networking gatherings, with booths and lounge seating for guests. The rooftop offers views over the city for cocktail hours and casual celebrations. The largest of the spaces, The Hatchery on the third floor, is a 7,000-square-foot, one-level room with an open floor plan and views of the Cumberland River, Nissan Stadium, and Riverfront Park, suited to weddings, receptions, and concerts. Beyond its event spaces, Acme Feed and Seed offers a made-from-scratch dining menu, a selection of local craft beer, a farm store with regional products, and a live performance stage that hosts Acme Radio Live.

    Cool Springs House is a restored 1830s log home in Brentwood, Tennessee, now operated by the City of Brentwood at Crockett Park. The house was built by the Carothers family, one of middle Tennessee's largest log homes at the time, and expanded in the 1870s with added halls and a Victorian front porch. A 1974 restoration by Karen and John Noel uncovered the original blue-poplar log construction beneath later coverings, work that earned the property a place on the National Register of Historic Sites in 1983. Today the venue hosts more than 100 events a year, offering exclusive use of the house and surrounding grounds for weddings, elopements, showers, rehearsal dinners, corporate events, and celebrations of life. The venue books only one event per day, so clients have private access to the full property without a competing party on site. Guest counts run up to 150 across the house and grounds, with the option to add a tent on the lawn for larger outdoor gatherings. Upstairs, the Private Event Loft offers a more intimate setting for up to 50 guests, centered on a historic 22-foot table, and can serve as a standalone space for private dinners and showers or as an add-on to a ceremony held on the main level. The property includes an on-site kitchen, two changing suites, and an open vendor policy that allows clients to bring in their own caterer or licensed vendors of choice.

    Our indoor/outdoor rooftop has been voted the best in Nashville for five years in a row (really six times if you count the writer's pick, but who's counting? ), making it the ideal venue for an evening of celebration or even just an end-of-the-day cocktail. The fact that LA Jackson is situated in the middle of the Gulch ensures that you and your friends will have a fantastic time there regardless of the event. Espresso martinis are a customer favorite, but if you're looking for something different, try one of our seasonal specialty cocktails instead. And, of course, you always have the option to request your preferred traditional beverage from the bartender. You won't be able to forget the champagne glitter chicken (a great photo opportunity), which is one of our party snacks, along with our world-famous garlic parmesan fries, hushpuppie butter board, and other delicious options. Attention: this restaurant serves the most delicious double-patty smashburger you'll ever taste. Every afternoon, we'll be the ones to set the tone, then on Friday and Saturday nights, some of Nashville's most talented DJs will take your experience to the next level.

    Hachland Hill is a family-run bed & breakfast, dining inn, and retreat center set on 80 acres of wooded hills in Joelton, just outside Nashville and about 25 minutes from the airport. The property has operated since 1955, and its grounds carry a long history: the land was once home to Cherokee and Chickasaw communities drawn to its spring-fed waters and abundant wildlife, and in the early 1700s it became known as "Paradise Hills" after two French brothers named Paradise settled the area. Crystal springs still run through the property today, alongside sassafras, maple trees, and wild turkeys, deer, and foxes. The retreat center hosts overnight stays, family reunions, business retreats, weddings, and banquets across several gathering spaces, including the Main Lodge, Spring Creek, and the more-than-100-year-old Tobacco Barn. Its kitchen is led by chef Phila Hach, known for Southern, farm-to-table cuisine served on-site. For couples and groups planning a stay, Hachland Hill's overnight accommodations make it well suited to destination weddings and multi-day retreats, letting guests gather for a rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception all on the same property.

    Set on 300 acres of natural Tennessee wetlands along the Cumberland River in Old Hickory, just 20 minutes from downtown Nashville, Hermitage Golf Course has served as a golf and event destination since 1986. The property is anchored by two 18-hole courses — the President's Reserve, designed by Denis Griffiths and stretching to 7,200 yards, and the General's Retreat, designed by Gary Roger Baird and a former host of the LPGA Sara Lee Classic — and is known for more than 40 Scottish Blackfaced sheep that roam the grounds year-round as a nod to golf's Scottish origins. For weddings and private events, the grounds offer a range of spaces built around the same river and course views: an open-ceiling Pavilion with market string lights and a stone fireplace, a landscaped Garden ceremony site, an indoor Banquet Hall, and The Gallery for buffet-style receptions. Hermitage Golf Course prepares all catering in-house and also offers on-site lodging in eight cottages and two lodges for guests staying to celebrate or play a round.

    The Union Station Nashville Yards occupies a former L&N Railroad terminal at 1001 Broadway, built in 1900 in a heavy-stone Richardsonian-Romanesque style complete with a clock tower and a statue of Mercy, the Roman deity of merchants and travelers. The terminal closed in 1979, and since 1986 the building has operated as a luxury boutique hotel and special event destination, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a Historic Hotel of America. The centerpiece is the Grand Lobby, topped by a 65-foot barrel-vaulted ceiling with gold-leaf medallions and original luminous prism stained glass, and named one of the "Best Hotel Lobbies in the World" by Condé Nast Traveler. Marble floors, oak-accented woodwork, three limestone fireplaces, and gold-accented bas-relief angel figurines round out the space, which can host up to 300 guests for a reception. Beyond the lobby, the hotel offers four event venues in all, including the open-air Trestle beneath the Broadway Bridge and the covered Veranda, along with more than 11,000 square feet of meeting space across six named rooms for weddings, galas, and corporate gatherings.
