Clementine Hall

Clementine Hall is a wedding and event venue in a building dating from 1889 on Charlotte Avenue in Sylvan Park, a short drive west of downtown Nashville. It has been restored and rebuilt as a flexible space with two indoor rooms, a private walled courtyard and a working catering kitchen. The idea is simple: plenty is included in the rental, but you still choose your own caterer and drinks.

Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples

This is a venue you shape yourself. You bring your own alcohol, pick a caterer from the approved list, and use the stages, sound and lighting however you like, whether that means a quiet dinner or a full party with a band. With a venue manager on site and three separate dressing rooms, both of you can get ready in your own space before the ceremony.

Ceremonies

Adelaide Hall is the main room and holds up to 300 guests for a ceremony. The Brash Courtyard is a walled garden in a New Orleans style, a good spot for drinks or a smaller outdoor moment. Two stages and image projection make it easy to add music, readings or a slideshow.

Receptions and food

Adelaide Hall seats up to 175 for dinner and holds up to 450 for a standing reception. The Little Bird Lounge takes around 300 for cocktails and has a 20-foot marble bar. Food comes from your chosen caterer, working in the on-site kitchen, and the venue is bring your own alcohol. The rental covers multi-zone audio, color lighting, projection, Wi-Fi, ice, security, host liability insurance and cleanup after the event.
