- (L to R): Chandra Watson, Nealy Glenn & Leigh WatsonOwnerAfter decades of adventure and travel, three longtime friends decided to come back to their roots in the south and open an event venue. Our first space, The Cordelle, was created for co-owner, Leigh Watson's own wedding and that original concept grew from possibilities to knowledge and then expanded to open SAINT ELLE. Our focus at both venues is client service and transparent hospitality, encouraging clients to celebrate and make memories. We promise to share our 6 years of experience in the event world to ensure our clients and guests feel cared for from the first drink to the last dance.

The Saint Elle was a great place to have our wedding! The staff was responsive and attentive throughout the planning process and Michael, the beverage manager made choosing our bar package seamless. The space itself is gorgeous on it's own and needs little decoration. It is simple, modern, and has so many beautiful features. It photographs so well and I am in love with how our day turned out! I highly recommend booking with the Saint Elle!!

Saint Elle was the perfect place for our wedding! Everyone we interacted with was very pleasant. The space was beautiful and very spacious. With our 150 guest count, we did not feel cramped at all. The beverage team, specifically Michael and Aaron, were amazing to work with. Aaron was with us during our specialty cocktail tasting. He was very patient and knowledgeable and created the perfect cocktails for us. It was almost like he knew what we liked without knowing us! The Saint Elle on-site representative was very kind and helped to make sure everything went smoothly.

Saint Elle is truly the best of the best!!!! I was obsessed with the entire venue from the moment I started planning our wedding day and searching for the perfect venue. The entire space is absolutely beautiful, and the bar is so dreamy! I can now say after hosting our wedding here, that I would book Saint Elle over and over again! It was the perfect classy, elegant, and timeless wedding I dreamed of. Not to mention, all of the staff members we worked with were so amazing and helpful. They made our wedding day go very smoothly and took care of our guests so well. This place will always hold such a special place in our hearts!!! You made our wedding day a dream come true!

We celebrated our wedding at the Saint Elle this past June. From the moment we set foot in the venue, we knew this was where we were meant to get married! The staff was very welcoming and flexible with all of our vendors and requests. We especially loved working with Michael to craft our bar menu! The space is perfect for any celebration and we loved every detail.

Saint Elle made the process so easy through their portal and everyone was so responsive anytime I had a question. Our day was absolutely flawless thanks to the team.

Saint Elle is an absolute dream! I had high expectations for this venue before even stepping into it and was already dreaming of making it my wedding venue when I found it online. Then once I actually saw it in person, I was totally sold and so EXCITED! It's such a stunning space and the design choices make it feel so luxe and chic. One of our favorite elements is the open vendor policy which allowed me to hand select the vendors of my choosing and really make them fit within my budget and overall vision for our day. On top of that... the on-site team and bar staff at Saint Elle are elite. They are knowledgeable and professional and really played a part in making our day unforgettable. There are so many moving parts when planning and wedding and from a venue standpoint, I had the utmost confidence from the very beginning that it would be wonderful. Saint Elle will always be special to us - not only for how beautiful it looked on our wedding day, but the way it made us feel. Thank you Saint Elle!

I myself am a wedding planner- having planned over 300 weddings. When it came to planning my own wedding, there was no doubt in my mind I was going to Saint Elle. The space is beautiful, stunning and spacious, of course, but beyond that, the space makes sense! It was thoughtfully curated to make the day seamless from you- from easy vendor load-in access, a suite for your wedding planner, large suites for both sides of the wedding party, the most gorgeous and plentiful bathrooms (with Thistle Farm products!), a kitchen that caterers dream of, adaptable space so that both ceremony and reception can be under the same roof, and a bar package that is the best bang for your buck and will provide you peace of mind. Not to mention, the staff is a dream. They are KIND. They are prompt. They are respectful. They are lovely humans that care about their space and about the success of your event. I would choose Saint Elle one thousand times over and over again and I'm so grateful whenever any of my clients book Saint Elle. It is THE place to get married in Nashville!

Not the best experience, and bad customer service for how much they charge. They seem to only care about making money and don't care about you as a customer AT ALL. They try to dazzle you during the tour, and then everything changes once they hooked you with the contract.
After booking them, they were VERY slow to respond, which really irked me for how outrageously expensive they were. I expected great customer service since they charge $10k and absolutely nothing is included in that cost. Like that's fine if that's your fee, but you better have great customer service with that price tag.
On top of being very slow to respond to time sensitive questions, (and not very friendly when they would respond), they also REFUSED to let us into the venue before 11am on the wedding day, when our hair and makeup and very tight photography schedule needed to start at 10am. We tried to negotiate and asked for 10:30, but they refused, which COMPLETELY screwed our schedule for the day. Believe it or not, 30 minutes is a lot when it comes to a tight timeline and because of this, there were a lot of photos we weren't able to capture since we were so rushed. My planner even begged them to let us in 15 minute early so at least the hair and makeup team could start setting up, but they would't budge, which I thought was absolutely ridiculous. I understand that it's in our contract that we only have the venue for 12 hours (we ended at 11pm) but my God, I think you could swing to let us in 30 mins early when we're paying an arm and leg to rent the space.
This is a small thing, but they required us to purchase their alcohol for our "getting ready" suites. That's totally fine, but it was very overpriced and was crap quality. They charged me $100 for a "fresh mimosa bar" so I expected it to be set up in a nice presentation when we got there. Nope. It was nowhere to be found and when I asked where it was she said "in the mini fridge." I open it up to find mismatched bottles of champagne and individual plastic bottles of Minute Maid orange juice... $100 for MINUTE MAID orange juice! Are you kidding?? At that price, I expected fresh squeezed or higher quality juice, or at the very least thought they'd pour it into some pretty pitchers or something. Again... just poor customer service and very over priced.
I will say, the only great experience we had was with the bar staff. They were awesome, nice, quick to respond, and created wonderful custom cocktails for us. Other than that, I would not book this place if I could do it over again.

Hi Abby,
We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed working with our Beverage Director and...
his team. Custom cocktails and curated selections are an important part of the SAINT ELLE experience.
In an effort to be transparent we would like to address the feedback in your review.
Rental Fee: Our venue rental fee is reflective of our size, open vendor policy and in house amenities. We are considered one of downtown Nashville's most competitively priced venues.
Communication: We utilize the Honeybook Event platform to book and advance all of our events. This allows us to track all communication with client, vendor and planner in one place. In the three months leading up to your event, response times show same day or within 48 hours (excluding holiday weekends). We were not aware that you wanted to be added to all pre-production workspaces, but are always happy to loop in clients on as many workspaces as they choose. i.e. Video, Catering, Planning, etc.
Timeline: On the day of your event we were hosting a rehearsal and client meeting before your event rental start time. Per our contract all clients are able to purchase additional time should they wish to enter the building early.
Pre-Party Package: During COVID many clients preferred sealed bottles. Thank you for brining to our attention that it may no longer be a concern for clients. We use Simply Orange which is premium 100% pure juice not from concentrate on our mimosa bar.
Thank you for taking the time to express your feedback.
We wish you all the best!
The SAINT ELLE

We recently got married here and loved Saint Elle! What set it apart for us was how much natural lighting and brightness there is throughout the space, while still maintaining an industrial vibe. The bridal suite is extraordinary -- it has plenty of room, amenities, and seating to make you feel comfortable yet luxurious while you're getting ready. There is also a dedicated, decorated groom room completely separate from the bridal suite and from the main event area, something many other Nashville venues don't have. The space comes with many string lights and moveable greenery carts, which can be stand-alone decor or can serve as a foundation for your own design vision. We chose to keep the indoor area quite open, adding our accent colors and just a few floral arrangements. We were also able to keep our wedding nearly entirely indoors without feeling cramped, but the patio space is so charming that we couldn't help but include some outdoor activities for our guests to enjoy.
As far as logistics go, the staff was very upfront with everything -- the price, the parking situation, vendor requirements, etc. It has a relatively high sticker price just to rent the space, but there were no secret fees hidden in the quote that we were not expecting (they even built taxes into the cost). Compared to the total amount of guests the space can host, the on-site parking isn't completely adequate, but that's pretty common for downtown Nashville event venues. Plus, with some recommendations from the staff, we were able to come up with a solution.
Before we'd even booked with Saint Elle, they gave us a list of Nashville-area vendors that they had worked with in the past, which made booking things like rentals and catering much easier. Overall, Saint Elle is an elegant, clean, and spacious venue. We are so happy we chose them for our wedding!

Saint Elle was the perfect venue for our wedding! After having to make a lot of changes due to COVID-19 we were so thrilled to be their first event ever. The space is gorgeous with lots of greenery and thoughtful design elements. It really does feel like you are stepping into an oasis when you enter! The staff went above and beyond to make sure our event went smoothly and that everyone was safe. There are so many amazing spots for photos throughout the venue and nearby outside. We loved using the beautiful boxwood trees that line the patio as a backdrop for our photobooth. We also loved the built-in bar and spacious interior. All of our guests were raving about how great it was. Do yourself a favor and book Saint Elle for your wedding ASAP!
