14TENN takes weddings, corporate trainings, galas, product launches and private parties for up to 350 guests at a cocktail reception or about 250 seated. The venue is a single 6,000 sq ft open room with a wraparound patio, in the Nations neighborhood on the west side of Nashville, Tennessee. It belongs to 828 Venue Management, which runs similar spaces in Seattle, San Diego, Denver, Kansas City, Indianapolis, Carmel and Raleigh.
Seminars and company events
For businesses, the room works for board meetings, workshops, trainings, team days, conferences, product launches and galas. It can be booked for a full day, several days in a row, or on a recurring basis, which suits training cycles. Hourly rentals are offered mainly midweek. The space comes empty and full of daylight, so the layout follows the program: rows for a presentation, tables for a workshop, cocktail tables for a networking evening. A basic speaker system can be rented, and the team refers clients to partner companies for heavier sound, lighting or screens. Planning help, from day-of support to full coordination, is available as an extra, and optional security comes through a partner.
Weddings and receptions
Ceremony and reception can both take place on site, with no separate ceremony fee. The Client Suite gives the couple or the hosts a private room to get ready. The standard wedding rental runs 24 hours, so vendors can load in from 10 a.m. on the day and clear out by 10 a.m. the next morning. There is no indoor curfew, though bar service stops at the time set by local rules. The venue also hosts quinceañeras, mitzvahs, graduations, proms, holiday parties and celebrations of life.
Rooms and capacities
The main room has white framed shiplap walls, wood floors, vaulted ceilings with open beams, dimmable market lights and wrought-iron chandeliers. Garage doors open onto the patio, which is included in the rental and usable in good weather. The rental includes twenty 8 ft wooden farmhouse tables, 16 cocktail tables, 200 chairs and a bar. Restrooms count eight stalls plus a family restroom, and the whole space is ADA accessible.
Catering
14TENN has an open caterer policy: clients bring the caterer of their choice, provided it carries liability insurance. All cooking happens off site, and a prep kitchenette with stainless steel counters, an ice machine, a small fridge and a sink is available for plating. Alcohol must be served by 14TENN Beverage, the in-house bar service, which offers specialty cocktails, wine service at dinner and water stations. Cleanup of floors and restrooms is included.
Getting there
The venue is at 1410 51st Ave N, a short drive from downtown Nashville, with more than 250 free parking spaces around the building. Nearby hotels include several around Vanderbilt and West End, and the venue works with a partner for guest room blocks. Visits take place on Walk Through Wednesdays or by appointment from Thursday to Sunday.
