    Dream Wedding Day!

    We are truly, completely blown away by how perfectly our day went at The Reserve. We are so beyond grateful that we chose to get married at The Reserve... and we would do it again a million more times if we could! From day one, Emily and the entire team were professional, kind, and filled with grace. They answered all of our emails promptly, were so flexible, and were just overall fun to interact with. The day-of staff went above and beyond to ensure the day went smoothly. All of our wedding guests raved about how kind everyone on staff was. The venue itself was so beautiful. We got so many compliments on the venue being indoor/outdoor. We loved the ability to raise the garage doors, and all of the guests loved the alternative seating options. The kiddos loved the couch! Also, the food was all AMAZING and our guests raved about how good everything tasted! We had the absolute BEST wedding day. This venue will always be so special to us. It's where one of our first dates was, and it's where my husband met my family for the first time. Getting to become husband and wife here was such a gift. We can't recommend The Reserve highly enough!

    Best night ever

    We had our wedding here on 7/6/24 and it was the most perfect day ever! We started working with Emily, the venue coordinator, in January and had everything planned within 6 months. She was attentive and detailed and never batted an eye at all of my questions and requests! They made the process so easy for us and almost everything was included which made things super stress-free for us. The only vendors we had to hire were our day-of coordinator, DJ, and photographer. On the day of, we were able to come early and drop off decor and flowers - they were super flexible with us throughout the whole process. Our guests raved about the atmosphere, the food (especially the fried chicken and banana pudding), just everything! We rented out the beer garden and the Reserve and it was the perfect amount of space for 100 guests. If you are looking for a venue with good vibes, great food, excellent staff, string lights, and indoor/outdoor flow, I can't recommend this place enough!

    Amazing venue

    We absolutely loved having our wedding here! They were so helpful when our wedding had to be postponed due to Covid. They helped us choose a new date and answered all questions that we had. The venue is beautiful with the wood floors and the open concept. Also the food is so delicious! Everyone at our wedding was commenting about how great and unique the venue was!

    Wonderful venue!

    Our reception was held at The Reserve at Fat Bottom Brewing. It truly was the PERFECT spot. It had an indoor/outdoor setup, which was beautiful and especially nice for guests to have an option to stay outside if they felt more comfortable. It was really nice that the tables, chairs, and stage were all included in the rental price. The food/drinks (all done through Fat Bottom) were incredible- we got so many compliments on the food from wedding guests. They also made the process really seamless around quotes/booking for preferred (but not required) vendors such as linens, lighting, etc. Alex, the Events Manager we worked with, was kind, helpful, organized, and overall really great to work with, especially in the month leading up to the wedding when things can get hectic. She did a flawless job helping bring everything together. Overall, we highly recommend booking your wedding/event at The Reserve at Fat Bottom Brewing Co.!

    Perfect venue!!!

    The Reserve was actually perfect for our wedding!! The space is beautiful and was the perfect size for our 130 person wedding. The food and alcohol were a big hit! The tables and chairs were included which was very convenient. Planning a wedding during COVID was stressful at times, but the venue manager was very flexible and accommodating - I can’t recommend this venue enough! The photos were done by Maria Gloer Photography!

    We held a rehearsal dinner in their private dining room.

    The food was delicious, the staff polite, courteous and professional, and the space was perfect for our needs. The staff worked well with the linen supply company. We had access to a private patio and everything was perfect for the evening!

    Venue + catering

    Amazing venue and food. Our wedding ceremony was in the beer garden and reception was inside of The Reserve. Sarah and Kassi were incredible to work with and exceeded my needs and expectations. Amazing experience and will always recommend Fat Bottom as a wedding venue.

    Perfect Rehearsal Dinner

    We hosted our rehearsal dinner/welcome happy hour here and it was absolutely perfect! Given the restrictions during COVID it was near impossible to find a space that could accommodate us but the Loft at Fat Bottom was exactly what we wanted! The food was great, the service was excellent, the beer selection was extensive and we were able to utilize the patio space which was welcomed on a fall night. I communicated with Sarah the entire process and she was responsive, professional, and accommodating the entire time. Kassi was there the day of and everything went seamlessly! Highly recommend Fat Bottom for your next event or even a night out!

    Covid Day wedding

    Covid changed our plans and The Reserve at Fat Bottom Brewery saved our day! Unfortunately, we missed out on the Beer Garden wedding, but The Reserve catered our wedding meal and it was perfect! I highly recommend this venue! Sarah and Kassi did an amazing job pivoting from the venue to our home and helped us celebrate the big day! The food and service were unbeatable.

    Great looking venue, great service!!!

    The Reserve at Fat Bottom is a beautiful venue. They were great to work with and made sure everything went off without a hitch. My only concern was that the food was cold. We had a plated dinner so maybe a buffet style would have been a better choice.

    So thankful for Sarah

    We are one of the many couples across the world that had to postpone their wedding due to the coronavirus outbreak. We all know this has been a terrible time for the events industry but my fiancé and I feel so lucky to have Sarah, and the Reserve at Fat Bottom Brewing team on our side. They have been nothing but communicative, patient, flexible, and kind through our actual wedding planning, and now through our postponement. We cannot thank you enough and cannot wait time have our actual wedding with this team of people helping us to pull it off!

    Amazing space for a wedding reception

    We had our wedding reception at The Reserve, and it was PERFECT. The space is lovely, the staff was excellent, everything went smoothly, and every detail was thought through. Sarah does an amazing job and was so helpful, especially with us planning our wedding from afar. Oh and the food was delicious. We got so many compliments from our guests. I would HIGHLY recommend Fat Bottom for a wedding venue. It was amazing.

    Excellent Experience with Fat Bottom

    We used Sarah and the Fat Bottom team for a corporate holiday event. They went above and beyond and truly exceeded our expectations. They were easy to communicate with and offered many helpful suggestions. They were flexible with timing and helped a lot with additional vendors. Our experience with Fat Bottom was one of the best we have ever had. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Fat Bottom to anyone that is needing a venue, for any occasion. You will not regret it! Thank you Fat Bottom, Sarah & team!

    7/13/19 Wedding

    Fat Bottom was absolutely perfect for wedding reception. Sarah was amazing to work with, she was always responsive to every question and helped me feel at ease planning this wedding from Texas. The food was delicious and everything looked beautiful. Our day was absolutely perfect and wouldn’t change anything about it. Fat Bottom even went above and beyond customer service wise for us. We had an issue with a vendor (who is no longer recommended by them) and even though it was not their responsibility to fix, they stepped in after we contacted asking for advice following a three month ordeal that we could not get resolved. Again, they did way more than we could have expected and the issue is now resolved. Fat Bottom was the best decision we made about our wedding!

    Amazing Experience

    We would like to begin by saying that Sarah and her team were amazing! They never missed a beat throughout the entire wedding planning process. The venue was beautiful and we can't tell you how many compliments we received about the food. (Pork loin and Buttermilk Chicken). We had our ceremony and reception indoors and both ended up going beyond expectations. The beer garden being reserved for our wedding guests was also a nice touch. Sarah was so accommodating with how fast she would answer the millions of questions that we had throughout the process. She was always going above and beyond, which made the experience at The Reserve even more enjoyable. We ended up doing the Brewery tour with our wedding party the night before we got married, and that was an awesome experience as well. We got to taste some amazing beers and our guide Matt was so cool and our wedding party had a great time. Overall great venue, great food, and great people.

    Perfect venue for daughter's wedding

    Sarah was great to work with and was very quick to respond to all my questions that I had as MOB. The venue was just perfect. The blend of the outside view with the inside and the use of the outside beer garden gave a unique and beautiful environment that everyone loved. Bride, groom and we parents plus all our guests had a great time. Couldn't have asked for anything better.

    Laid back charm in a beautiful space!

    We had such a wonderful experience planning and hosting our November wedding at Fat Bottom with Sarah and Kassi. They were attentive, proactive, and the event went off without a hitch!

    We hosted our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour in the beer garden and reception and dancing inside the Reserve. Our guests raved about the convenience of an all-in-one venue, and thoroughly enjoyed the food and the beer! Sarah worked seamlessly with our planner and florist to help us achieve all of our little detailed requests, and Kassi helped us ensure all of our guests (from 11mos to 85 years old!) and vendors were well cared for on the big day. It felt like we had an entire event crew dedicated just to us! Definitely would work with Fat Bottom again!

    Welcome Dinner Success at The Reserve at Fat Bottom Brewery

    It was a pleasure to work with Sarah and the staff of The Reserve at Fat Bottom Brewery. From the moment we first visited to the actual Welcome Party Dinner and Reception we knew we were in the right place. The venue is beautiful and well cared for but more importantly Sarah knows exactly what needs to be done and worked with me to make sure the menu and layout were exactly what we wanted and within the budget we had planned. She is a professional in the truest sense of the word. We live in Florida so I had concerns about planning an event without being in the area but during the process I was kept updated and when the evening arrived her staff was plentiful, respectful and always present without being obtrusive. It was a great experience and I highly recommend and will certainly use The Reserve again in the future.

    Everything was perfect.

    You really can't ask for more when it comes to a venue. They had so many perks and things that were included in the rental price and Sarah is an amazing person. They were flexible with timing and truly made the day go smoothly. It was perfect and they played a HUGE role in that. We received compliments on the food saying it was the best wedding food our guests had ever had. We loved the space as well and the Beer Garden is BEAUTIFUL.

    Great vibe!

    We had our rehearsal dinner and then opened it up to everyone for drinks and dessert. Everyone had a fantastic time and loved trying "Nashville" beers. The service was great and it was super easy to set everything up! Thank you to Sarah and everyone who helped!

    The Perfect Day

    Planning a wedding is stressful, but Sarah and her team at the Reserve made everything so much easier on us. Throughout the whole process she was incredibly responsive, answered all our questions thoroughly, and always had a smile on her face. When the big day came around, everything was absolutely perfect! Having Sarah and staff help set up, take down, and work the reception was such a blessing! Obviously the space is beautiful, food is delicious, and beer is great, but the quality of service we got really pushed this venue over the edge. Would absolutely recommend to anyone getting married!!

    Amazing team to work with

    Sarah and her team at The Reserve made choosing this venue for our wedding an easy choice. The venue is beautiful, Sarah and her team handle a lot of the logistics for a worry-free experience, and Chef Leah makes delicious and seasonal food. Sarah made sure that all costs were fully transparent immediately and was always quick to respond to my many questions. It also didn’t hurt that they provided their own chairs, tables, plates, cutlery, and glassware so I didn’t need to rent many items. This team is a great team to work with every step of the way, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

    Amazing staff! Beautiful space! Great food!

    I don't normally write reviews, but when you have an exceptional experience you want to share it with everyone- so I asked the event manager Sarah, to please give me a link to write about my experience.

    It was my mom's 70th bday and I had not had the opportunity to plan ahead like I had hoped.
    After visiting and calling countless event spaces, I recalled attending a wedding reception at the Reserve and thought maybe they would be available.

    I called and spoke with Sarah and she was not only accommodating with the last minute date-but went above and beyond to assist with making the event as amazing as it turned out to be!

    She realized I hadn't ordered enough tables at the day of and called her rental connections to have it delivered at the last minute.

    Her staff was equally professional and jumped right in to ensure that my vision came to life!

    I am soooo grateful for Sarah's execution and attention to detail!!

    My mom's party was amazing and her and her guests haven't stopped talking about how beautiful it was- and the party was in May!!! 😉

    The Best Venue in Nashville for Price, Period

    My husband and I were afraid that we would not find a venue within our budget that fit our more laidback personalities, but that was also stylish and fun. The Reserve had it all. I loved that they didn't give us the "blank canvas" nonsense that almost all other venues say. The venue for one price came with tables and chairs, catering, and a bar option. If you paid at least $10,000 you also got the biergarten with the venue to give your guests more privacy and allow for lawn games. Sarah was our contact and she was so attentive and helpful, it was almost like having a planner. The venue was the best choice I made with wedding planning and it was truly representative of who my husband and I are as a couple.

    Wonderful wedding venue!!

    We could not have asked for a more perfect venue for our summer wedding! The garden was green and beautiful for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and the indoor/outdoor options were ideal. Sarah, the event lead, was responsive and so easy to work with. I completely trusted her and the Fat Bottom team. Would highly recommend!

    Wonderful night!

    This was the perfect venue for us to gather our friends and family the evening before our wedding! It was relaxed and went off without a hitch! It is intimate and rustic and requires minimal decoration to be just beautiful. Working with Sarah and the entire Fat Bottom team was great as well. They were flexible and responsive and very helpful for designing the event.

    The Best Engagement Party

    Working with Sarah at Fat Bottom was absolutely wonderful! On the day of the party, she let us come set up decorations early, and was the most accommodating throughout the whole planning process. The wait staff was incredible and so attentive, and all of our guests had the best time. I would absolutely recommend Fat Bottom!

    Highly recommend the Reserve @ Fat Bottom Brewery

    We had our reception at the Reserve in April and it was absolutely perfect in every way. The event space is beautiful, the beer was excellent, food was delicious and the atmosphere worked perfectly for our reception. Sarah was an absolute joy to work with! We had several guests telling us how much they loved the venue and how impressed they were with everything. I would highly recommend the Reserve!

    Fat Bottom is amazing!

    We had the most beautiful ceremony and reception at the brewery. Our original plan was to have the ceremony in the beer garden but we had to change plans due to the weather. I think I actually preferred it indoors! Everything was gorgeous, the staff was professional, and the drinks were amazing! The event coordinator, Sarah, is very knowledgeable, responds quickly, and is patient and understanding! I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue.

    50th High School Class Reunion

    The Reserve at Fat Bottom Brewing was the perfect venue for our reunion. They are a class act. Everyone we worked with was very accommodating. We had phenominal reviews from our attendees. I would highly recommend this venue for any gathering.

    Fantastic Venue

    My daughter was married here last Saturday night! What a great wedding. We started working with Sarah at The Reserve in January and just felt so comfortable with her and the venue from the start. They were so accommodating, always letting us in at any time during the year to check out anything. Food was great and the venue turned out so beautiful. All our guests Raved about The Reserve. It was beautiful
    Thank you Sarah Easterwood for making this wedding very special!!

    The Reserve was such a wonderful experience! Sarah was so accommodating and helpful throughout the entire process - from asking questions three times over to making a special drink for my father day of. The venue is beautiful! We only added very simple centerpieces and the chandelier's do the rest! I loved every minute at this venue the day of and all the days planning a head of time. The food was out of this world!! I received so many compliments on it. The staff there was just amazing and they come highly recommended!!

    We were pleasantly surprised to find this spectacular room at the Reserve. It was a sophisticated space with elegant rustic charm. Bar, spacious room, round tables & chairs, classic dinnerware, private bathrooms, separate green room with mini fridge, and a beautiful view of outdoor garden. The bonus was the food- it got rave reviews from our guests. All at a great price! Thanks Sarah.

Sarah made the planning process such a breeze, and worked with our vendors to make our vision come to reality. Everything from the food to the drinks to the ambience were perfect. We are so happy that we went with the Reserve!

    Sarah and the Reserve team were terrific! The venue is special with a lot of flexibility inside and out. The guests loved the space and the service before, during and after our event was high quality. We had a blast and if you are looking for a space that can provide everything but linens and music in Nashville at a reasonable price, this is IT.

    I had my wedding reception here this November and I cannot imagining my day going any more perfect! When I was searching for a venue I wanted somewhere close to town (so we could use our church in Green Hills for the ceremony). I also was looking for a place that was pretty much all inclusive. The Reserve was just that! They provided tables, chairs, linens, food, bar, service, cake cutting, plates, napkins, and forks. It is a great value for all of this! My guests were raving about how good the food was, as well as the amazing beer selection. The venue itself its beautiful with high ceilings and reclaimed wood floors, and lends itself to a wide variety of decor styles. Our November date was an unseasonably warm night of a low only 68 degrees, so we were able to leave the garage doors wide open and guests enjoyed the courtyard under the string lights and stars. My guests enjoyed that the venue was not far from downtown, and some even ended their night down on broadway after seeing us off as husband and wife!

    Sarah was a dream to work with! So responsive and positive and personable. She even lent me some of her own personal decorations to use, such a sweetheart! A huge element of our wedding was my husband's 1912 Model T Ford, family heirloom. Sarah even allowed use to pull it right up inside the courtyard for all of our guests to admire and take photos. It was a hit! All my vendors loved working here and dealing with everyone at The Reserve. I highly recommend it!

    The Reserve at Fat Bottom Brewing is an exceptional venue and I would recommend it for anyone looking for a special event venue, including wedding, corporate event, nonprofit fundraiser, etc. Their staff goes above and beyond to make sure your event is flawless. Working with Sarah doesn't feel transactional - it's personal. Sarah is always available to show the space to our partners, entertainers, and others working with us on the event, and has spent so much time getting to know what we want out of our event.

    From the booking process, to planning our layout, Sarah is responsive and gets us everything we need, and more! Everything has been easy and seamless with The Reserve, and we are incredibly grateful - anyone who has planned an event understands the stress involved and when you have a venue going out of their way to make things easy, that's the BEST thing anyone could ever ask for!

    Our event is going to be amazing and I wouldn't trust anyone else with it more! Thank you for providing the absolute BEST service and continuing to impress. If you're looking for a venue, no matter the occasion, The Reserve needs to be on the top of your list!!!

    "So glad we came across the Reserve on wedding wire! Its such a gorgeous space! Will hardly need any decor since it already looks amazing. Planning a wedding in a limited time has proven to be way more difficult than we had thought. Booking the Reserve was the best decision by far. Having catering and bar onsite is such a huge relief. Sarah went the extra mile to connect us with great vendors who are working with our budget as well! Thanks Sarah!"

    Since this is a new venue we have not had our event yet, however, working w Sarah Easterwood has been great during the construction phase of the space. The Reserve has turned out to be more beautiful than the renderings and we are very excited to host my daughter's wedding reception there in early June. We are sure the beer and food will be as wonderful as the Reserve and beer garden. Stay tuned, Mother of the Bride in West Nashville.

    Gorgeous outdoor/indoor space with amazing food.

    When my husband and I were planning our wedding, we wanted a place that was all inclusive - the food, tables, chairs, booze...and the Reserve was the perfect place. Sarah was phenomenal and was one of the reasons we chose the venue - she was so warm and welcoming and was able to show us pictures from all of the different weddings they'd hosted right on the spot so that we could get a better idea of the day. And it all turned out amazing!!

    I actually planned a corporate dinner party at Fat Bottom, so although not a wedding, we are pretty selective folks. Sarah and her crew did an amazing job, start to finish, and I received rave reviews from attendees. Food quality was really spot on, which is not always the case! All the staff and sales people were super flexible, as well. Again - they are far above the standard at most venues. Although we try and move this party every year, I really hope we'll be going back in 2019!

    We had our reception at Fat Bottom. Sarah and Kassi were awesome to work with! They are very responsive and helpful. For the venue, we liked that The Reserve has the combo of indoor/outdoor spaces (we rented the courtyard also) and the food & drinks taken care of.

    We and our guests had a great time. Everyone loved the food & atmosphere!

    We're giving 4 stars because the staff started cleaning up our wedding reception during our wedding reception. We still had the venue reserved for another 15-30min. The bar also put out tip jars when we specifically asked them not to do that.

    Overall, we'd recommend The Reserve!

    Everything we wanted!

    We got married at The Reserve at Fat Bottom Brewing on 11/12/2022. It was honestly the greatest venue. I cannot even begin to express how amazing the day of staff was. They were beyond helpful! One of the staff members, single-handedly arranged our wedding desserts into the most beautiful arrangement, and they looked better than I could have ever imagined! The staff as so great, I literally had one of them all but follow me around during the reception to ensure that my glass was never empty! My bustle broke on my dress, and one of the staff that night helped fix it! They truly went above and beyond to ensure our day went perfectly, and it basically did!! The price of the venue and food was the most reasonable of all of the venues we looked at, and it was so perfect for our day!! The only complaint I have about hiring this venue is that, from the time we hired them, we had 3 different head coordinators that we worked with. The last one that we worked with was a little difficult to get in touch with and seemed to mix us up with other weddings/couples. That was a little frustrating and annoying, but, in retrospect, the day of staff was so amazing, it was a very small thing to have to deal with! I would definitely suggest this venue for low key couples who still want a wedding and reception!

    3 months and still waiting for refund of overpayment

    Wedding postponed and guest list cut in half due to COVID. Wedding had been paid in full by original wedding date with original total guest list. Now almost 3 months later I have yet to receive my almost $5000 overpayment refund owed. Repeated emails have failed to resolve the issue

    disappointing wedding venue, bad service/customer care

    Unfortunately, we were not thrilled with Fat Bottom as a venue – it’s the one thing we wish we could change about our wedding. Luckily, all of our other vendors were amazing, so our wedding was able to come together, but we didn’t love this venue at all. I also want to preface that I’ve given all our other vendors amazing reviews – I am not someone who is super picky or hard to please. I feel the need to write this, so if other brides choose Fat Bottom, they can at least proactively avoid some of these problems.

    I’ll start off with the pro and say, the food was AMAZING!! We had the buttermilk fried chicken and the pulled pork, as well as the brussels, mashed potatoes, and three bean salad. Everyone was raving about the food! We also found that Joe was helpful with ordering our wines, and overall the vibe (open garage doors, string lights, etc.) was the casual and fun wedding vibe we wanted.

    Okay, now onto the cons, which there are certainly more of. I warn anyone planning a wedding there that it’s kind of deceiving when they say they can hold 180. We had 145 people come to our wedding and in order to make room for a buffet and a normal-sized dance floor, four of our tables had to be placed outside (luckily weather was perfect). It felt like the tables were awkwardly in the middle of cocktail hour and separated from everyone else. If we had had 180 people, we would have had more tables outside and had NO dance floor. I truly don’t think they should advertise it as 180 for a wedding, when 99% of weddings need a dance floor. Or when, you’re couples visit the venues initially, they should make the seating charts and their capacities very clear to the couple BEFORE invites go out.

    Additionally, the service at the wedding was kind of bad. We opted to have an additional bar outside, which was the bar that was used for cocktail hour. Still, our guests had to wait in an INSANE line to get one drink. It was so embarrassing. This isn’t their first wedding, so they should have known that everyone would try to get a drink at the same time, causing a rush – if they had warned us of this, we would have paid for at least two more bar tenders for that time. Or paid for an additional cocktail hour bar! We would have paid more to avoid that. To solve the problem in the moment, my dad asked them to open up the other bar inside (where the reception would be) during cocktail hour, so people could split up between the bars. They kept saying no until our wedding planner stepped in, but at that point cocktail hour was pretty much over. Also, in the middle of the wedding, the bar service was moving so slowly, we had to ask again PLEASE add some more help behind the bar. Most disappointing of all, was that the buffet took AGES to get refilled, which meant that it took us over 1.5 hours to get all of our guests’ food. It took so long, we eventually had to just start speeches while people were still getting up for food. I’ve been to a million weddings and have seen buffets move much quicker, so again – avoidable and embarrassing. Our guests were starving and since the dance floor hadn’t opened up it was such an awkward downtime. We also had an open bar, and one of the bars ran out of rose like one hour into the wedding, but didn’t get any more from the other bar. Seemed like they had zero coordination.

    Such an easy fix for them, but the bridal suite was SOO lackluster (or even disappointing) – for example, in the bridal suite, when we arrived, the trash can in the bathroom was full of other people’s trash, there was no water in the jug or the mini fridge, there wasn’t even a hook to hang my dress (they had a rack with a few hangers, but it was super short so my dress was bunched up on the floor). And water is just a basic and obvious need – they could have taken that one extra step and laid out some snacks or even a glass of or two of cheap champagne (it’s not like it was a whole party there – just my mom and I went early).

    Finally, and this last part is my fault, but I didn’t realize the lack of privacy the venue had. The place for the ceremony is right on the road, so anyone playing music in their car or anyone even walking on the sidewalk talking, could be heard during the ceremony. Literally a group walked by being really loud, while our officiant was speaking. When I visited the venue, there was a lot more greenery on the fence (and this was exactly a year before my wedding, so it’s not like I’m comparing it in different seasons). That part is MY fault for not realizing before we booked, but feel the need to warn other brides.

    All in all, my wedding was GREAT, but that was because of my planner/florist (Amy & I Designs) and my friends/family, not because of FBB.
