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!

We LOVED our experience at 14Tenn, for planning and for the event itself. Their team was so professional and really worked with us to stay within our budget without sacrificing how we wanted our wedding day to be. Sarah Hodges was a phenomenal planner, and she went beyond her duties to help us have the wedding day of our dreams. The venue was everything we wanted it to be AND MORE, and they were so flexible with us when it came to vendors, catering, and all the little details that came with hosting an event there. Sarah and her team put so much work into all of the logistics, and the day went so smoothly as a result of their diligence. Having Sarah as our partial planner and choosing 14Tenn as our venue were two of the best decisions we made throughout the whole process. We will keep recommending them to everyone looking for the perfect event space! Not only is Sarah great at what she does, but she's SO fun, too! We looked forward to our check-in meetings with her each month!!
