The Cannery Ballroom
EST. 2007
Previously occupied by the likes of Adele, Katy Perry, and The Whitestripes, this ballroom might just make your event a platinum hit.
Exposed brick, polished wood floors, and lofty ceilings give this standing room for 1,000 space a lax, industrial feel. Looking for a similar but smaller spot for a cocktail party or more intimate gathering? Check out The Cannery's little brother: One Bar and Lounge.

Venue Setting
Events on Cannery Row is located in between lively downtown Nashville and the trendy Gulch neighborhood, with a close proximity to the Music City Center, The Omni Hotel, and Bridgestone Arena. Our location's reputation precedes itself locally, as 1 Cannery Row has been a hub to the ever-changing music scene in Nashville since the early 1970's.
We offer multiple rooms to host your events. ONE is the newest event space in the Mercy Lounge complex. Its location on the building's third floor provides a spectacular view of downtown Nashville. The Cannery Ballroom has hosted Steven Tyler, John Fogerty, Katy Perry, The White Stripes, Adele, The Black Keys, Bon Jovi, Imagine Dragons, Jason Isbell, Meghan Trainor, Snoop Dogg, and countless others.
Built in 1883, The Cannery was originally a flour mill and later a place to grind coffee. The building earned its name when the Dale Food company bought it in 1957 and began processing food. Owner Perry Dale eventually opened a restaurant in the building and named it "The Cannery" in the early 1970's. The building housed a country music theatre in the late 70's and evolved into one of Nashville's primary music venues in the 80's and early 90's. Today, ONE lives on the third floor of the historic structure, nestled among Nashville's iconic music venues, Mercy Lounge, The High Watt, and The Cannery Ballroom.

Weddings

With massive windows, soaring ceiling heights, cement floors, and tons and tons of exposed brick, these party spots are industrial gold.
From boutique salt purveyors in Portland to an old macaroni factory in Chicago, there’s really something for everyone and a bit of a story to be told about each of these wildly different American venues.

Weddings

Nashville is a universally agreed-upon cool spot. Nobody thinks it’s anything less than where the greatest musicians of all time have either called home or at least made sure to spend a few wild nights. It has big city style with country heart and the scenery surrounding it is green and endless. So you’d of course be hard-pressed to find a venue that doesn’t thrill you in the heart of Music City, on its outskirts, or just minutes away in the countryside. But with a spread so grand, how do you pick the right spot to host your most special of days? We here at the Venue Report have you covered with the very best of the best wedding venues in and around Nashville.
