Nashville’s oldest historic downtown event space, dating back to 1874, has been transformed into a spacious contemporary venue.
Built in 1874, The Bell Tower was one of the first churches built in Nashville by freed slaves after the Civil War. Most of the neighborhood was demolished following World War II, and The Bell Tower is one of the last remaining original structures. The building has since been transformed into a modern, open floor plan venue.

We love making a good snow angel as much as the next snow bunny, but when it comes to partying on a cold day, we’d simply rather be indoors and preferably beside a fireplace. So, today’s focus is entirely on our favorite indoor wedding venues across the country that are party perfect year round. Whether it’s cold and rainy, hot and humid, or just not that nice outside, these places offer a welcoming space for your guests to gather. From an urban winery in Brooklyn to a beautiful bell tower in Nashville, there’s a little something for every wedding style so you can celebrate with your friends and family in comfort rather than battling the elements.
