Amazing venue option

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Marathon Music Works, and we could not be happier with how the evening turned out! Liza was our main point of contact at Marathon, and was so helpful beforehand - letting us see the venue several times, answering emails quickly, and being so patient with our many questions leading up to the day. The month of our wedding, the entire Marathon crew was a pleasure to work with and made sure all the last-minute details were cleared up. We were truly AMAZED when we arrived at the reception - we'd seen Marathon bare-bones during the daytime several times, but seeing it with the lighting and decorations was SUCH a transformation that my husband thought we were in the wrong place! The lighting team did an amazing job choosing colors that highlighted our early-summer wedding vibes, and the bartenders did a great job keeping the party going. Practically speaking, Marathon was a great choice for a venue - lots of parking, several bathrooms, and perfect location for a downtown wedding. Would recommend for someone looking for a modern, downtown Nashville wedding venue.
