The Bell Tower

The Bell Tower is a downtown event venue at 400 4th Avenue South in SoBro, built inside a former church that dates to 1874 and now positioned directly across from the Music City Center convention complex. Billed as one of the larger free-standing historic venues downtown, it pairs original architecture with a modernized interior across multiple flexible spaces. It seats up to 400 guests for a plated dinner and holds up to 700 for a cocktail-style reception.

The venue keeps an on-site culinary team, so catering is produced in-house rather than through outside vendors, and it provides full planning and design support. The Bell Tower books weddings, corporate events, rehearsal dinners, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, anniversary parties, holiday parties, and large social gatherings. Its capacity, downtown location across from the convention center, and in-house catering make it best for large weddings, galas, and corporate events that need scale in the core of the city.
