Venue Settings

The Bridge Building sits right on the river in downtown Nashville and has been part of the city since 1908. Today, it’s a modern, sustainable landmark with incredible views and a mix of indoor and outdoor spaces that work for almost any style of celebration. You’ll find plenty of options for your ceremony. The Riverfront Terrace is the favorite for a reason. It’s gorgeous during the day, and at night the skyline lights up behind you for a really romantic setting. It also flips easily into a great cocktail hour spot. During the colder months, the Rooftop Observatory is fully tented, so you still get that open, airy feel without braving the chill. The space starts as a clean slate and can be dressed up to match whatever vision you have. If you’re leaning indoors, the Dyer Space brings an industrial look with warm wood floors and tall grid windows. The Cumberland Space is ideal for larger receptions and takes lighting and décor beautifully. It also opens up to the patio, which is perfect on warm summer evenings. With room for up to 1,200 guests, the building truly works for celebrations of every size. On-site catering keeps everything easy for you and your guests, and two getting-ready suites plus several lounges mean you can settle in and enjoy the day from the moment you arrive. If you’re dreaming of a downtown celebration with unforgettable views, The Bridge Building gives you that and more!

Venue Features

The scene

Located on the riverfront downtown, The Bridge Building Event Spaces features multiple customizable settings including a rooftop patio overlooking the city, a main event space with floor to ceiling windows, and a patio right on the bank of the Cumberland River. Originally built in 1908, The Bridge Building served as office space for The Nashville Bridge Company, NABRICO, the world’s largest producer of inland barges. The building was restored and modernized in 2012.

Design

The revitalized venue pays tribute its history with exposed steel beams and a weathered steel panel addition referencing its original industrial use. With sculptural, bold language befitting a public space, the building is a landmark and backdrop for public dialogue.

Standout venue features

Our view of the Nashville skyline is absolutely unparalleled.

Extra perks
