StudioWed venue, the Nashville Marriott at Vanderbilt University, was recently featured on the Creative Design Events blog. Here’s a little excerpt:

What makes the Marriott Vanderbilt Hotel different from other venues?

We are centrally located in the heart of trendy West End, right across from the historic Parthenon and only 1 mile from downtown. Our couples can count on the trusted Marriott service standards and quality for an amazing wedding. Plus, you will receive Marriott Reward Points for all your reception and room block revenue. These can be redeemed in a variety of ways, including free hotel nights, cruises, flights, gift cards, etc!

What are some points brides should have when meeting with different venues?

Know what you are paying for. Hotels may require you do your catering through them, however all your set-up is included with your reception space. Rentals for tables, chairs, linens, dance floor, china, etc. can add up quickly. Make sure you are comparing apples to apples. Also, how quickly does the venue respond to your calls and emails when you are first inquiring? If the manager is taking days to respond to you before you book, how will they be after you have signed a contract? Something to think about.

Give me a run-down of the rooms you have and the services you provide.

We have 4 events spaces- ranging from intimate weddings of 25 to grand receptions of 250-300. We offer custom menus packages, discounted room blocks, and we have a variety of ballrooms and event spaces accommodating different styles and budgets.
