First off. This venue is beautiful! But more importantly, Nancy and Kelly go above and beyond for their brides. They built things, hung things, let me come early cus they had the availability, met with me so many times , kept constant communication so I felt secure ...I could go on and on. This venue is so reasonably priced especially when you look at the value of the care provided by Nancy and Kelly. They hear my vision and were on board, they didnt understand some of my nerdier requests but they still supported the vision and did their upmost to bring it to life. They transformed their pastels and whites venue into my Halloween nerdy paradise of a wedding. It was beautiful and perfect and I owe so much of it to the wonderful women of Touched by Time. This venue is spacious and beautiful. My guests were taking photos all over it due to its beauty but the main photo attraction was the incredible photo booth they have available. The book they provided at the end with a copy of every guests photos has been looked through several times. I truly cant express how much I loved this venue and the women running it. Their dedication to their brides and grooms is unmatched and their vendor recommendations were spot on! They took so much off my plate that I was happily wandering the venue enjoying the view on the day of before getting my makeup done. While also supporting my need to check over everything (cus im just like that) HIGHLY RECOMMEND this venue and the wonderful team that runs it. You will not be sorry to book this venue. They took my vision and expanded it beyond what I could have dreamed.

We would definitely recommend at least doing the month-of coordination package! That is when we really felt the money spent on the planning was worth every penny, as it ensured the event ran smoothly from start to finish. They have draping and in house decor that can be rented as well! And everything worked out so well with their in-house beverage package. We would highly recommend 14TENN to any couple looking for a stunning, well-run wedding venue in the heart of Nashville.
