Nashville Event Space - What’s Your Wedding Venue Vision?
Wednesday, September 22, 2010
We love kicking off the week with new things! Nashville Event Space recently relaunched their website - it's better categorized, more informative and a lot easier for you to browse and find the answers to your questions. Just to be sure you make full use of all the links and areas on the site, I spent a few minutes chatting with Mindy Dees, Nashville Events Space's Director of Marketing, to get the insider's look into what to look out for on NashvilleEventSpace.com.
Unique - Metropolitan - Wedding Venues - Nashville Event Space

First thing I asked is why the rebranding? Mindy tells me,"The website was re-branded a couple of months ago. I had our tagline, "Unique Metropolitan Venues" included in our logo. I wanted the site to be unique, modern and urban feeling where brides and people could scroll around at their leisure and be well informed. I wanted it to be easier to find information with this new website and to make sure that it’s educational and tells people what we do."
Things To Know
The first place Mindy pointed out as an important link was "Things to Know"
Mindy: This is where to start, it's things we want people to be aware of, like how we try to keep our policies the same at all our spaces. This link will let brides know what our policies are, what they can do, what caterers they can use and questions like that. A policy most people aren't aware of is that in our spaces, our customers get to provide their own alcohol which is a huge money saver. They’re not limited to vendors or design choices. And we don’t restrict much of anything approved caterers, as long as most vendors are licensed and insured.
One thing Mindy relayed, that I think is a huge plus, is the fact that brides and events are not limited to specific load-in times. That makes it so much easier for your vendors to drop off rentals, flowers and you can get there in plenty of time to get ready. Another plus? Your event will be the only event that's happening that day so no worries about having to wait for someone else's ceremony to end before you can get in there. That is HUGE.
Educating brides - Services
Mindy: N.E.S. does event design . We’ll work directly with vendors to work on the ideas and if what the brides want. We are here for guidance, not to dictate on what they should or shouldn’t do.
"A lot of people thought we were a search engine." When Mindy told me this, I was a little surprised but I can see how that happens. People thought Nashville Event Space was where you could fine a listing of event spaces in Nashville! So that was another factor behind their rebranding. Nashville Event Space takes a team approach to event planning and design which they do very well either within their own venues or at outside locations. The website gives you a look into the clear aspects of what they do, and how each team member contributes to making an event a success. Click here to meet the N.E.S. team!
Mindy: We want people to know that we are a venue management firm and event design firm. We provide choices that brides and our clients can customize - it’s your blank space. We’ll guide you, or work with your planner to guide you or if you're more hands-on, you can guide yourself and we will accommodate what you need within our policies. One of our team will be on site to make sure everything goes smoothly. Brides have a lot less to worry about when we’re involved in the planning even if they have their own planner we have an operations person to take care of the details.
Inspiration
The gallery of events on the site features weddings, social and non profit events and music industry events. Mindy encourages us to check out every gallery, not just the weddings, to see the various uses of the venues and how each event they've done there is unique.
Mindy: Take a look at the designs from other sorts of events on the site. Brides are starting to lok in the Music Industry gallery for additional inspiration. Inspiration is from everything and we want people to get the full picture of what can be done in the space and we don’t want them to feel pigeon-holed ever.
It's all about your vision - the N.E.S. team will work with you or your planner or your vendors to ensure everything is done to your desire.
Mindy: It's about flexibility and personalization, the bride pretty much has 100% creative control. One bride in January is a skydiver and her inspiration is her hobby so her colors come from her pack and chute. They took the pulls on her chute as her inspiration. Give us an idea of what looks like what you want to see at your wedding and you will see it at the venue.
Nashville Event Space Blog
With regular updates, the N.E.S. Blog is not to be skipped over. You'll find more inspiring real weddings and see each event from the team's perspective.
Mindy: We want the site to be inspiration driven where people could look at several different weddings, different events and even events that we’ve done at other locations and to get ideas to what they can do. The blog focuses on our team and our planners, and we try to focus on the work we've done at other venues as well.
From the time I spent browsing on the site, it looks like they've achieved what they set out to do! Definitely take a tour around, check out the different links, look at the gorgeous pictures and you might just find the perfect venue for your wedding with Nashville Event Space!

Blogging is something I’ve enjoyed doing for years. My interests lie mostly in lifestyle related topics like fashion, style, design, food and weddings. When I heard Ashley was looking to bring on new members to the ABG team, I jumped at the opportunity - I can’t think of a better way to stay involved in weddings than to write about them and to stay in touch with the trends and new ideas. Lucky for me, Ashley likes my blog and trusts my experience to bring me on and so far, it’s been a blast.
