Emily and Chris tied the knot on a perfect spring day in downtown Nashville. The Cordelle was a great venue, providing a beautiful backdrop for pictures of the wedding party, a simple but gorgeous outdoor ceremony, and a perfect indoor reception. The bride and groom said their vows in front of family and friends. Custom touches to represent the couple was present throughout the evening. The bride designed and made the floral napkins, and the groom stocked the bar with many of his favorite craft beers. A few brews were even made specifically for the couple by some family members and friends. Their Wisconsin roots were evident in the table set up, as each one was named after a different brand of cheese. Once guests found their seats, they enjoyed a buffet complete with a pasta bar, make your own zoodles station and southern classics including mac and cheese and shrimp. The wedding party took the bride’s love of watching televised Award shows to heart, presenting their toasts in the style of red carpet interviews. Once the party was underway the couple and their guests never left the dancefloor. Congrats to the bride and groom, we wish you lots of love and adventure in your life together!

Nashville is known for it’s hot summers, but who knew that a wedding would come from it?! This bride and groom met by the pool in their apartment building. After hitting it off by the water they started dating shortly after. Their intimate wedding at the Cordelle in downtown Nashville was simply beautiful. The chic décor including hundreds of lights and candles, oozing romance throughout the indoor space and the surrounding veranda. The color scheme of burgundy, grey silver and gold went great with the mixed medals on the tables and around the room. The service took place in front of a fabulous string light backdrop, and while guests enjoyed the cocktail area on the porch, the ceremony space was flipped into an elegant reception area. Family and friends dined at long tables in a giant U-shape, which gave the room an open feel. Each place setting had a custom take away: wine glasses branded with the couples’ names and wedding date. With special musical performances thanks to the groom’s job at a country music record label, it was quite the party. A highlight of the night was the massive dessert table, featuring hundreds of specialty donuts from bakeries across Nashville, arranged in a colorful and flavorful display. In lieu of wedding cake toppers, the large donuts in the center were labeled Mr. and Mrs. We wish nothing but the best to the happy couple!

Event Name: Ole CMA Viewing Party

Event Date: November 4, 2015

Venue: The Cordelle

Event Designer: Sarah Ann Miller

What better way to watch the 49^th CMA Awards show than to be a guest at Ole’s Private Viewing Party at The Cordelle.  We threw a fabulous event for 150 of the most experienced industry professionals who focus on all the creative development of the music that won many awards this year. Keeping with the theme of their red, white and black logo we wanted to pull together what Sarah Ann referred to as “Swanky Industrial” meaning a mesh of Old Hollywood glamour meets Southern Gothic Revival.

The Cordelle was dressed in string lights and flower planks hanging over the guests as they wined and dined watching the CMA’s. The menu was one for the books! We wanted our guests to feel like they were eating at home, so we treated everyone with gourmet TV dinners, a biscuit bar and much more!   The lounge areas were styled to feel like you could curl up and watch TV from your own living room, complete with cozy vintage style black leather couches and chairs with plush, white fur rugs.  The most amazing part of the night was the “JumboTron” style show feed we projected on the wall, it felt like you were at the show!  With all these elements combined, this event was upbeat and fun, no one wanted to leave! Thanks, Ole and congrats to all the winners!

Event Name: Williams/Kelly Wedding

Event Date: August 22, 2015

Event Designers: Julia Page & Sarah Ann Miller

Venue: The Cordelle

When two of your favorite clients have a child that is getting married, then the next step naturally is to plan the wedding for him and his future Mrs.! This is what led us to plan the wonderful union of Meg Williams and Andy Kelly at The Cordelle in Nashville!

From the start, when they met in middle school, these two were lovebirds! They were best friends that shared laughs and days filled with fun! When they both returned to Nashville after college they realized they may be more than “just friends” and a beautiful relationship was formed! The wedding took place on an August 22nd and the outside garden area was set for drinks, fun, and don’t forget a Characteristic to capture all the guests’ smiling faces. The décor was romantic and light, just like the couple. Blush accents were utilized in the florals and drape, but what would a wedding be without a little bit of bling! The linens that were used on the guests’ tables brought in just the right amount of gold glitz to make this day really sparkle! Eric Blue rocked the night away, with a guest appearance from our very own bride, Meg Kelly! When the lights came up and the couple left, they were swept away in a vintage Rolls Royce! A perfect night, for a perfect couple!

Event: Hill & Quaid Wedding

Event Date: June 20, 2015

Venue: The Cordelle

Event Designer: Sarah Ann Miller

More than half of Gwendolyn and Niall’s loved ones flew around the world to be in Nashville on a hot June night to celebrate the couple on the Hill & Quaid wedding! FUN FACT: Whatsapp was the couple’s main form of communication for a long time until they decided to move to the same place.

The bride and the groom made their special day unique by incorporating distinct facts about their relationships in the decor. Gwendolyn wanted a lot of special touches so she brought in gold wine bottled adorned with a classic white single rose for the tables. Simple and elegant was definitely the style of the event. By pairing vibrant reds with black and white stripes we added a bit of color. The guests boogied to the tunes of the Emerald Empire band, and the bride saved the last dance for her grandfather.

Event: Holland & Goodman Wedding

Event Date: July 4, 2015

Event Designer: Sarah Ann Miller

Venue: The Cordelle

What a better way to celebrate the 4^th of July than at The Cordelle for Holland & Goodman Wedding!  Their dream of an English countryside wedding was given life.

Candelabra centerpieces, lush green garland in the center of the tables and gold accents were the perfect finishing touches. The Cordelle’s open-air porch and lawn hosted our cigar bar. As the evening progressed guests were treated to a few of Nashville’s local treats – Las Paletas Popsicles and Christies Cookies as they watched the number one firework show in the United States from downtown Nashville on the front steps of the Cordelle. Can you say amazing?! We absolutely loved working with such a fun couple and wish them all the best.
