This east Nashville event space is ready for your wedding vision to come to life. Unadorned, the space has an industrial loft style. It’s a slate that provides you with the opportunity to have it decorated to your own taste and theme. Are you're going with a Nashville retro country/western wedding; a modern, edgy, and sexy vibe; or an ethereal garden wedding done indoors? Frankies is the place to achieve your dream.
The indoor event space is best up to 150 reception guests with or without an on-site ceremony, and it can hold up to 200 people for meetings. There are also two outdoor patios that can be engaged, one that holds 50 people and another up to 100.
Frankies tables, linens, room dividers, and table settings (glasses, silver, plates) are included with no rental fee when you book the space. Of course, if you are going for a custom wedding look and feel they will facilitate the logistics with your equipment rental companies.
Oh, did I mention FREE & EASY PARKING for your guests on-site in east Nashville?!
Let’s talk about the FOOD!
My first dining experience with Frankies was dinner at their 925 Spuntino, Frankies full-service restaurant. The room is elegant while retaining the warm and inviting feel of a neighborhood gathering spot. Essentially, the perfect amount of up-scale for its east Nashville location. I could write a whole separate blog about the delicious meal but let me summarize with: Three of us shared a crisp and perfectly parmesaned Ceasar salad and meatballs that will make you swoon. We followed that with three entrees so wonderful we shared them all. And, when it came time for dessert, we knew it would be worth the indulgence; we ordered the cheesecake that they craft in their own signature style. Everything was perfect!
For your reception dinner, imagine Frankies wonderfully delicious Italian-American dishes served up family-style encouraging interaction and conversation among guests. I absolutely love this style of service for creating a lively atmosphere, particularly when it’s supported by a Room Captain and Frankies dedicated staff. Often, your seating arrangements require guests that aren’t familiar with one another to be seated together, family-style service will break the ice and set the tone for jubilant festivities.
Buffets setups are another option for reception service and, for events at other locations, Frankies also does full service off-site events in residences and other private destinations. Pickup and drop-off catering is another great service if you are really keeping things simple.
Without question, I recommend Frankies 925 Spuntino if you want to test them out with a sit-down dinner. If you want a casual night and quick service, grab a slice or whole pie from The Pizzeria. And whatever you do, don't forget to stop in The Bottega. Whether you're creating the perfect picnic or were charged with bringing dessert to the dinner party you'll be taken care of there.
