The team at Banker’s Alley were wonderful to work with. They did their best to accommodate all of our requests. We had a private ceremony in Gallery 2 and one month later, a recept...
ion in the Main Gallery. Everyone that attended raved about the 72hr braised short ribs. Overall it was a first class experience!
21c made all of our wedding dreams come true. We had the absolute BEST experience any bride can ever dream of for a wedding venue! I woke up on our wedding day feeling excited and ...
not even a little bit nervous or stressed because Lisa, Monika, and the entire team took care of every little detail. These guys truly went above and beyond to make sure our day went off without a hitch and I could not be more grateful. I wish every couple had the opportunity to have the experience we had!!
21c was the most amazing venue I could’ve ever dreamed of! Lisa and Monika made it so easy to get planning done, catering arranged (Gray and Dudley’s was beyond delicious!),and ho...
tel blocks. They answered all of my questions (literally ALL of them) in a very timely manner. We have gotten nothing but compliments on our venue from our guests. Even my rehearsal day jitters were quickly calmed by their team. If you’re looking for a unique, fun, beautiful venue with the most amazing food and people to work with 21c is perfect for you.
We had a large rehearsal dinner, Mehndi and welcome reception at 21C and it was absolutely spectacular. The staff at the Nashville 21C are phenomenal--responsive, professional, an...
d delightful to work with. Special kudos to Monika (event manager) and Lisa (event sales manager), chef, servers and bartenders. Our event was complicated with lots of food, beverages, slideshow, DJ, a changeover from a seated dinner to a welcome reception with dancing...all went seamlessly. Many thanks.
We made a last minute decision to host our Friday night "welcome party" for our out-of-town wedding guests at 21C and it was the best decision we could have ever made. Many other ...
places near Broadway or downtown wanted our small party of about 60 people to meet a $10,000 minimum which was never going to happen. We were able to stay all weekend in the 21C suite AND host our group for less than that.
It started to rain the day of our event and 21C handled everything seamlessely. All my husband and I had to do was show up. Our guests didn't even know the difference and everyone loved the museum space. Other venues we looked at didn't even offer a rain plan so I have no idea what we would have done.
21C was so easy and the staff was very professional. The food was AWESOME. I had them box up some hot chicken sliders for me to eat in the room :)
We plan to stay there again as a staycation sometime soon so we can really enjoy the awesome suite and the rooftop deck.
My new husband and I held our ceremony and reception at 21c in August. From the moment we contacted the 21c staff, we felt special. They treated us as though our celebration was th...
e most important event of all.
The 21c Suite was the perfect size for our intimate ceremony. The penthouse offers an amazing view of downtown Nashville, which was the perfect background for family photos. We were a bit concerned about Live on the Green happening, thinking that the sound would be too loud for us to enjoy the terrace. On the contrary, the music was soft and actually added to the ambiance of our event. Once the sun set, we sipped cocktails and peered down at the crowd, enjoying the scene. With the backdrop of the Nashville skyline, we were on an adventure... and yet felt right at home.
Our reception was held in one of private dining rooms at Gray & Dudley. The food was amazing and the service impeccable.
Both the hotel and the restaurant staff went above and beyond for us. When we arrived, they seemed energetic and genuinely happy to see us. Upon checking out, we felt the same positive vibe.
We definitely will always remember our wedding day as being truly wonderful.
Thank you 21c Nashville!!!
SO many thanks for Lisa, Monika, and all the staff at 21c for making our weekend unforgettable! They took care of us through every detail. Helped us plan everything to a T. The maj...
ority of our out of town guests stayed at the hotel and everyone loved the accommodations. Also, all of our guests were absolutely raving about how delicious the food was. Many said it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. The venue is incredible, and staff were so accommodating. I have recommended them to all of my friends!
GORGEOUS venue for our welcome dinner - they went above and beyond for us and were true professionals! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a rehearsal dinner or reception site
Lisa, Monika and all the staff at 21c are an absolute dream team!! We had the most incredible weekend at 21c. Every detail was accounted for in perfection. They heard each of our r...
equests (including a Sunday brunch, bar setup and every other detail that goes into a wedding) and fulfilled them beautifully. We felt so lucky to have such support to make the weekend so special. And in addition to how much we adored the venue and wedding weekend, our guests felt the same. We had a majority of our guests stay at 21c. They all commented on the fantastic hospitality, beautiful rooms, awesome bar at Grey and Dudley and close proximity to downtown. All around an five star unforgettable team!
The hotel was absolutely fantastic!! The staff went over and beyond our expectations to make our wedding beautiful! The rooms were great! The food was phenomenal! Couldn’t have bee...

Before anything else is said, the service from this team is absolutely amazing! The entire team was wonderful from start to finish. Thank you so much for making our special day so ...
amazing!
This space was so fun to have a wedding! Your guests have things to look at in between parts of your evening. The art as a backdrop really looks great in the photos. It is modern, clean and just really cool.
The food was excellent! I wish I had ordered one of everything so I could have tasted it.
You will not go wrong with this space or this team!
Monika and Lisa and the entire 21c Team were an absolute delight and pleasure to work with for our wedding! The venue itself is so cool, unique, and was perfect for us. The art wor...
k is gorgeous and creates a really special vibe. Monika was amazing in the lead up to the wedding and was a fabulous day-of-coordinator. Everything looked perfect and we didn't need to stress out about anything in the Main Gallery. The cocktail reception was lovely and we were able to utilize so many spaces in the hotel. It was everything we could have hoped for and wish we could celebrate every event at the 21c in Nashville!! Highly recommend!!!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about our wedding at 21c Museum Hotel in Nashville. First and foremost, the modern and artistic vibe of the venue speaks for itself, but what m...
ade our wedding dreams come true was the incredible staff and service. The Event Staff, Lisa Curry and Monika Witkowski, are the industry's MVPs! I have never worked with people who handle every situation so professionally, promptly, and with a smile. This also goes for the entire 21c staff! They will truly make you feel like royalty starting from your first tour! Don't walk...RUN to reserve your wedding at 21c! It is like no other venue in Nashville!
This place is awesome! Part event venue/hotel, part art museum, and amazing food/cocktails! My sister recently hosted her wedding here and everything was so perfect! I was involved...
in a lot of the planning, Lisa and Monika were super easy to work with and they always replied to our questions really quickly. There is so much cool artwork everywhere, and the space is really elegant and modern. Guests were raving. Highly recommend!!
Perfect. It was amazingly perfect! The staff took care of all of our needs from the initial contact through check out. The venue was the only one we found that accommodated our 50 ...
person wedding without being too small or so large a venue that it seemed empty. We had a place to stay for 2 nights in the suite, a ceremony locale that overlooked the most beautiful view of downtown Nashville ever (doing it at sunset was breathtaking!) and they flipped the space to host our reception in a matter of minutes while decorating everything for us perfectly! The food was incredible and I’m still getting messages about how good it was! My guests loved the serving staff who even went as far as finding out what people liked most and made sure they got what they preferred while making the rounds of serving. They even helped us with cutting the cake for serving too! The bartender had a special drink that matched our event which everyone loved. I honestly, in my wildest dreams, could not have imagined a more perfect wedding! Monika and Lisa were always available for questions during the planning process and even took care of switching the music for us during the ceremony. It was full service hands on deck the entire time and ended up way cheaper for the entire event (penthouse suite for 2 nights, venue site, tons of food, open bar, full staff, coordinators, and an incredible city view) than anywhere else we spoke with in Nashville. I HIGHLY suggest them for your wedding, you won’t be disappointed!
I cannot say enough good things about this venue! I recently attended an event here and it was fabulous. They started us in the 21c Suite for a cocktail hour. This is a huge sui...
te, with a large outdoor patio, overlooking downtown Nashville. It was a gorgeous space. It would be a perfect space for an intimate, outdoor wedding. After the cocktail hour, we were ushered to their main gallery. Keep in mind this is a hotel AND a museum. The main gallery is a stunning space, filled with incredible pieces of art. It’s a big space and could host many different times of events/weddings. All the hallways, rooms, and even elevators are filled with art (some are even interactive pieces). The food was out of this world. It was all catered by Gray & Dudley. The restaurant is onsite so everything was served fresh and perfect. I was able to meet Lisa, the event sales manager, and Monica, the event manager. Both were so sweet and thrilled to do whatever they could to make the event perfect. They made sure everything was on time and ran perfectly. They have an incredible staff. Obviously I am in love and cannot wait to plan my wedding here!
