My husband and I got married at Estelle about a month ago and can not say enough good things about our experience. We decided to try to pull a wedding off in about 12 weeks and absolutely could not have had such a beautiful and flawless event without this gorgeous venue and their wonderful team!
As residents of East Nashville, it was important to us to have as many of our wedding events on the East Side as we could and Estelle was such a pleasant surprise for us to stumble upon. We had initially been looking at restaurant type venues to have a more "intimate dinner party" type of vibe but, after walking into the doors of Estelle for the first time, I knew that was the place! The environment feels like you are being hosted for dinner in someone's cozy and immaculately decorated home. We knew that the aesthetic of the venue would provide a great backdrop for photos and they did not disappoint!
We had about 82 guests, a live 5 piece band and hosted the ceremony inside as it was a december wedding and the space flowed well and never felt cramped!
Every single guest commented on how delicious the food was which was super important to us (get the truffle grilled cheese!). Their in-house catering Flavor made everything SO easy, presentation was wonderful and service was absolutely FLAWLESS. I can not state enough how kind, accommodating and friendly every single staff person was. At first, we thought we were just getting the best of the best treatment because we were the bride and the groom but all of our guests raved about how well they were taken care of by the staff.
Drinks were also extremely important to us and Estelle provided a top-notch bar experience using all glass barware and well crafted cocktails. We chose the premium bar package by consumption and would highly recommend it!
Estelle provided options for drink packages for the bride and groom suites prior to the wedding, passed champagne upon arrival, helped us secure the parking lot across the street for our guests and truly thought of and handled every detail with tact and discretion!
Sarah was extremely communicative, helpful and accommodating. Our wedding planner (Ashley Porter @poshoccasions) also runs logistics for the three (St. Elle, Cordelle & Estelle) properties and provided the best peace of mind to us on our big day! Every question or request we had was handled with experience, professionalism and a calm spirit which really made us feel at ease! If you are looking for a venue that doesn't feel like a "venue" (not to mention it is an awesome value) - we would highly recommend checking out Estelle - especially if you are a local like us that wants something original, cozy,...

As a Nashville local, I know how easy it is to spend upwards of $10k for an empty room. Finding a place like Estelle that comes with tables, chairs, dining ware, and drinking ware included in the pricing was a godsend. Not having to worry about additional rentals or buying all those materials was amazing.
I knew Estelle was the perfect place for us as soon as we walked through the door. From the outdoor spaces, immaculately decorated suites, and original cabin from the 1800s. As a state archivist, it was so special to be married in one of the first houses built in East Nash. We knew that the aesthetic of the venue would provide a great backdrop for photos, and they did not disappoint!
We had 90 guests and originally planned to have our ceremony outside on the gorgeous lawn. But, Nashville said no and absolutely POURED rain that night. We had to go with our rain plan and have the ceremony inside and flip the space for the reception. Personally, I think it was even better! It was pretty cozy having 90 seated for the ceremony, but it felt like everyone had a front-row view. The Estelle staff made the change seamlessly, in addition to helping us set up some premade decorations that morning.
Their in-house catering Flavor made everything SO easy. The presentation was wonderful, and the service was FLAWLESS. I can not state enough how kind, accommodating and friendly every single staff person was. Along with excellent food service, Estelle provided a top-notch bar experience using all glass barware. We chose to have wine and beer all night but were able to upgrade to choice liquor for cocktail hour. You can also pre-order drinks for the get-ready suites in the morning!
Sarah was extremely communicative, helpful, and accommodating. Our wedding planner (Kassi French @allsisters_events) had previous experience at Estelle and with their whole team. She provided the best peace of mind to us on our big day!!

Read moreMy husband and I were lucky enough to find our dream venue on our very first try, and that was Estelle!! This venue went above and beyond our expectations and made everything so easy. From the caterers, to the tables and chairs, to the bar — everything was so organized and manageable. I felt nervous going into wedding planning, as I felt I was in over my head and was scared I wouldn’t know what I was doing and everyone who we came into contact with at Estelle took all those fears away. They answered questions in a timely manner, guided me through the organization and planning, and were so kind throughout it all. I feel like I barely even had to think because they had it all locked down so seamlessly. I felt myself having anxiety the month before the wedding because all of the planning had gone so smoothly, I was waiting for something to happen. But turns out, it actually was just that easy and that is 100% because of how amazing the staff was.
The venue itself is GORGEOUS. We did the full property rental and I’m so glad we did. I got ready in The Nest and it was absolutely stunning. We got married on the front lawn and even though it’s on Woodland street, it felt very private and intimate.
I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you, Estelle, for truly the most...
