The Cordelle

The Cordelle is a historic wedding venue located in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. This elegant estate dates back to the late 19th century and is nestled close to Nashville’s famous Music Row. It boasts refined function rooms, lush gardens, and Victorian detailing. Co-owners Leigh Watson, Nealy Glenn, and Chandra Watson established the venue to give couples a fully-customizable, luxury space for their wedding day.

Facilities and Capacity

The Cordelle has several indoor and outdoor event spaces that provide a beautiful backdrop for an unforgettable wedding. The Garden is a 5,000-square-foot outdoor space featuring neatly manicured greenery. Ideal for a romantic ceremony or al fresco dining, the lawn is encircled by a century-old hackberry tree, crape myrtles, and arborvitaes. This event space can accommodate up to 350 guests for a seated reception. The Victorian covered porch bridges the interior and exterior event spaces. Inside, the Great Hall is a spacious banquet hall with an open floor plan that can accommodate many different layouts. Its bright interior and dark hardwood floors can suit a wide array of decor. Alternately, the Victorian function room is an original feature of the historic venue. Exposed brick, original flooring, and large windows add an element of charm to the room. Above, the Loft serves as a private dressing suite for the wedding party. A lounge, dining space, bar, and bathroom ensure a comfortable, luxurious experience for getting ready.
