For private hosts

A fortieth, a rehearsal dinner, a weekend for twenty.

The events people actually remember, planned without twelve group chats and nine separate deposits.

What we plan

Private events we take on

Rehearsal dinners
Rehearsal dinners, welcome drinks and day-after brunches. Warm rooms, unhurried service and a schedule that respects the main event.
20–120 guests
Birthdays
Milestone birthdays, anniversaries and retirements. From a long table for eighteen to a full buyout with a band.
15–200 guests
Bachelor & bachelorette
Nashville hosts a lot of these weekends. We put the dinner, the private space, the transport and the entertainment on one plan so the host is not fielding twelve group chats.
8–40 guests
Fundraisers
Galas, donor dinners and benefit evenings where the budget has to work hard and be defensible. We itemize every line so your board can see exactly where the money went.
50–500 guests
Private dinners
Seated dinners, supper clubs and small social gatherings. Often the hardest thing to source well, because the best private rooms are rarely listed anywhere.
8–60 guests

Where the money goes

Spend it where it shows

On a private event, the two things guests consistently remember are the food and whether they had to queue for a drink. Almost everything else is negotiable.

So when a budget is tight, we will usually suggest the same trade: a plainer room with better catering, a licensed bartending service pouring alcohol you supplied yourself, and flowers reduced to a few good arrangements rather than every surface. It is not the most profitable advice we could give, but it is the right one.

If you would rather go the other way — a spectacular room, a live band, an installation at the entrance — say so in the brief. We will build that instead.

Practicalities

Things worth deciding early

Whether guests will drive
It decides whether a Franklin or Murfreesboro venue is a saving or a problem.
The real end time
County curfews vary and outdoor amplified music often ends earlier than people expect.
Seated or standing
The same room holds very different numbers, and it changes the catering format entirely.
Who is bringing the alcohol
BYO with a licensed bartender is usually the largest single saving available.
Accessibility
Tell us in the brief and we only source rooms that genuinely work — including the arrival route.
