About

The Bedford Event Venue, located in Nashville, Tennessee, is a quintessential, versatile wedding venue with stunning brick arches, elegant chandeliers, and idyllic outdoor space ready to make your ideal wedding come to life. Celebrate your special day in this luxury oasis on the border of an entertainment-filled city for wedding ceremonies, receptions, engagement parties, rehearsal dinners, bridal showers, and elopements. You’ll look back on your day with the same love and excitement you felt underneath our arches for many years to come.

Facilities and Capacity: The venue is 10,000 square feet, rich with personality that pours throughout the three-story interior and outside pavilion. Whether you are hosting a big bash or a more intimate affair, we have a charming space that will make your wedding or event the most memorable it can be. Whether you choose our:

  • Pavilion (outdoors/covered, capacity 250-400) with its charming twinkling lights
  • Arches (indoors, capacity 100-120) with brick pillars and beautiful chandeliers
  • Juliet Balcony (indoors, capacity 20-160), a lovely second-floor mezzanine with brick arches, iron fencing, and unique lighting
  • Garden Arbor (outdoors, capacity 10-70), an idyllic space for a quieter moment
  • Party Room (indoors, capacity 200), our largest indoor space reminiscent of a more “traditional” wedding ceremony or large event (also perfect for dancing during the reception!)

...along with a variety of amenities, we at The Bedford strive to make your wedding or event go as seamlessly as possible, with as little stress as possible for both bride & groom!

Have a long guest list? We can accommodate up to 400 people indoors plus 200 more with our outdoor private pavilion and ample free parking spaces. In addition, you will find a bridal suite, a groom’s quarter, and a separate area for band members. Head over to the Juliet Balcony as the perfect space for main events or a dinner spot for you and your partner while your guests dance the night away on the large dance floor and stage area on the mezzanine level--the possibilities are limited only by your guest list and imagination!

Services Offered: The Bedford allows approved outside vendors, caterers, and alcohol and can also supply a preferred vendor list. Items such as decor, drapery, lighting, and furniture are supplied with event booking, and a variety of seating styles are possible. For the duration of the event, an outside loading dock is available to bring in larger items and free up parking space for guests.

Location: Just a 15-minute drive away from the heart of Nashville, The Bedford is a peaceful venue but is still located conveniently near several accommodations, as well as several local attractions, including the Grand Ole Opry, Nissan Stadium, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and some of the best country music entertainment around.

Amazing Wedding Venue

Not only is The Bedford is an absolutely stunning venue with ample space and excellent ambiance for events, but their staff is friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. We used the venue for both the wedding ceremony and reception and it functioned as such beautifully. Not only did the venue make an absolutely beautiful backdrop for photos, but the ambiance was warm inviting to our guests. The venue also supported COVID policy, providing space for social distancing so that we could enjoy our special day safely.

A Romantic and Beautiful Wedding Setting...

The Bedford was the perfect venue for our wedding. It is one thing to plan a wedding but another to do so during a pandemic. The Bedford was great to work with us so we could socially distance and still have a romantic and gorgeous wedding. The facility was decorated amazing and we loved the ambiance and vibe for the evening. I would highly recommend this venue for any event...(as I have attended other meeting/parties there as well.) Beautiful!!!!

Do Not Park on CSX property across Sidco Dr, WILL TOW

CSX will tow all vehicles parked on the grass next to CSX Dr. This is a private drive and must remain clear for semi trucks and large equipment. The owner of the vehicle will be responsible to for paying all fees associated with the towing and storage of the vehicle.

Wedding made easy

I was the first wedding held at the Bedford and we were so delighted with Pam and her team and their willingness to make every request end with a YES. Parking was a big deal for the local folks who attended and close proximity to the city was important for our out of town guests. The venue is lovely but even more so - the people made a really stressful process easy and fun. They made me have zero stress even though I was the first wedding - a hard task! Thanks Pam and the Bedford!

Beautiful space!

We loved The Bedford! Absolutely beautiful space, centrally located, and very helpful staff. We especially loved working with the coordinator there, Lauryn Harris - the day couldn't have gone better, and we received endless compliments on the venue itself. Highly recommend!

Beautiful inside and out!!

The venue is beautiful and exactly how I envisioned a romantic, dreamy wedding. My wedding fell during Covid so we had some rearranging to do. Pam was great to work with through the process.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
