Sierra was an absolute pleasure to work with. We had a "dream" per say to get married at First Tennessee Park since that is where we met. We never in a million years thought it would happen, but from the first conversation with Sierra...it started coming together. She was very informative, offered lots of advice and additional options for us to consider. When I arrived on my wedding day...she had thought of everything! She even had baseballs lining the "aisle" I was going to walk down. I recommend them without any reservation. They were fabulous!!

Our wedding at The Bell Tower was truly the best day of our lives! Aside from the venue being absolutely stunning, and very convenient for the guests, working with our wedding coordinators, Emily and Carli, is what made everything so spectacular! They were fabulous to work with and made everything so easy, from beginning to end. The planning process was seamless and the actual day, I couldn’t have been calmer. I didn’t have to worry about a thing and they went above and beyond from making sure I ate, making sure everyone was lined up for photos, and even calming my dad down as he was very nervous for his speech. I couldn’t be happier with our experience and thank you to Emily and Carli for making everything so perfect!! I will never stop referring them and/or The Bell Tower! If I could give 100 stars, I would!
