Update: If you missed the event, take a few moments to get to know these two wedding resources and contact them directly if interested.
I toured the Woman's Club of Nashville in December at the invitation of Mary, owner of Menu Maker, in December. Does the venue sound familiar? Probably not, but I assure you that you've passed it dozens of times and probably never knew it was an option for your wedding. It's located right on Hillsboro Road and offers space for a small wedding ceremony, bridal shower or wedding reception. It's full of history and charm.
This weekend, Menu Maker and a host of other Nashville wedding vendors are hosting a bridal event where you can see the space, sample Menu Maker's catering and get to know other wedding service providers. Today is the last day to RSVP. More details are below...
"Come party with Menu Maker Catering! EAT: Sample our master Chef's favorite culinary creations. DRINK: Enjoy a decadent wine tasting from Red Spirits. MEET the Experts: Learn about flowers and dresses from Geny's Flowers and Bridal, tour the Nashville Woman's Club, visit with the Street Tuxedo truck, sample cakes from Dulce Desserts and see what decorations are in style with Liberty Party Rental. Please RSVP by Wednesday, February 24th. Contact us for more information at [email protected]."

When I got married, I hired a day-of-coordinator at the last minute after I realized that my event coordinator SUCKED! She lost my wedding file the night of my rehearsal and hours of conversation and her meticulous notes went immediately down the drain. She stressed me out more than any single vendor or aspect of my wedding. So, as your been-there-done-that girl, I cant stress enough how important it is for you to understand the difference between YOUR planner and the VENUE's coordinator.
Today's expert advice is provided by Sarah Willard, owner of Music City Events. Sarah is a respected planner in the Nashville wedding community and offers full service wedding planning for engaged couples. She's always willing to answer my questions and help brides make better decisions.
All photos are of wedding planner Sarah, in action, helping her Nashville-area brides.
I have been hearing a lot of comments recently about the differences and similarities between event planners and venue coordinators. I am also noticing more and more that many brides feel as though the sales managers/coordinators at their venue will suffice when it comes to planning their dream wedding.
As an event planner with a decade of experience in Nashville, I can tell you many differences between the two. My company also manages a venue in Nashville, so we have a unique perspective because we do both!
There is a very distinct difference between the two, and the scope of work is extremely different. They each play a significant role in the execution of a reception but in very different ways.
Venue coordinators/catering sales managers (in most cases) are primarily responsible for:
-
Getting you booked and on their calendar.
-
Selling the venue features and services.
-
Passing out tasks to venue or banquet staff.
-
Overseeing the vendor load in and load out and/or food set up and breakdown.
-
THE VENUE!
They know their space very well. Most venue coordinators and sales managers are certainly there to help, but remember, at the end of the day, they are working for the venue, and it is quite possible that they have more than one event going on at once. They do not handle any matters with vendors outside their venue or accompany or assist you in design sessions with your florist, lighting and linens, bakery, etc.
On the other hand…
An event or wedding planner is responsible for you, your guests, and YOUR wedding/event.
An event planner is:
-
Working with you from the day you book their services (depending on the package selected) until the end of your wedding reception.
-
Providing and assisting you in the selection of vendors they have worked with in the past. These trusted vendors are able to perform the requested services. The planner typically accompanies you to vendor meetings and assists in overall design of the day.
-
Creating detailed timelines and letters to vendors to make sure they are all on the same page prior to your big day.
-
Coordinating your rehearsal, ceremony, and entire wedding day.
-
Making sure that all ceremony items are in place, such as programs, aisle runners, candles, etc.
-
Setting up all extra decor and accent items such as favors, place cards, and tips, as well as collecting gifts.
-
Reviewing all vendor contracts.
-
Allowing you to truly be a guest at your own event- no questions asked.
-
….and the list goes ON.
Not all venue coordinators or planners are created equally, so just use your best judgment. Make sure that your decision is an informed decision. Know the difference between a venue coordinator and an event planner. The event planner is hired to work for YOU. A venue coordinator works for the venue.
There are wonderful venue coordinators and sales managers out there. Most of them love their jobs and really want the best for you. It always best to know what you are signing up for exactly. A venue coordinator and event planner are both very important to have, as they both have specific ways to ensure you have a beautiful and stress-free wedding! So, before you decide you don’t need a planner, do your research. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact us!

Sambuca is always a wonderful option for dinner, drinks and a night out on the town – but it is becoming one of Nashville’s hottest venue options for wedding receptions and rehearsal dinners of all shapes and sizes.
When planning an event, flexibility is key. From the amount of space needed, to different menu and entertainment options. Do you envision a chic and modern hors d’oeuvre reception with a view of the city lights in a beautiful glass-enclosed space? Or maybe a more traditional affair with warm, romantic elements such as velvet curtains and wrought-iron candlesticks complete with a multi-course sit-down dinner?
Sky Loft:
Great view of downtown Nashville; Perfect for wedding reception, lounge or small ceremony.
At Sambuca, both are possible under one roof in their unique, versatile space. There are actually more than half-a-dozen ways you can utilize this hip restaurant to make your wedding dreams a reality.
Take the top-floor for instance. You can reserve the entire space, including the exclusive upstairs bar that has a stunning balcony overlooking the restaurant PLUS the jaw-dropping Sky Loft, or you can split the two up and rent the Sky Loft and the bar separately.
Main Area:
Can be used for ceremony or reception with live music.
Or for an even bigger guest count (up to 500!), you can reserve the entire restaurant and treat your guests to passed cocktails with a view of the city upstairs and dinner and dancing in the Balinese Dining Room on the main floor, complete with live-music and a second bar. Oh, and did we mention that a live band is included for any couple that rents the entire restaurant? Yes, it is!
Cozy Spaces:
Can be used for greeting guests or for guest lounging.
Open to hosting a day-time celebration? Well, Sambuca offers an all-inclusive package for events that conclude before 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. This package includes room rental, DJ, passed appetizers, a delicious buffet and a photo booth all for $50 per person!
Exquisite Food:
All inclusive or a la carte menus make wedding planning easy!
At Sambuca, the options are truly endless. Give their event manager, Tiffanie, a call today at (615) 577-2173 to start planning your bridal luncheon, rehearsal dinner, wedding reception or after-party.
