Saint Elle: A Modern Corporate Event Space in Nashville
Your next company gathering deserves a corporate event space in Nashville that people are still talking about on Monday, not another forgettable hotel ballroom. Saint Elle is a modern venue in the Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood, less than two miles from Broadway, built for corporate dinners, galas, conferences and meetings, product launches, brand activations, holiday parties, networking events, and company celebrations.
Set inside a converted 1950s bowstring truss building, Saint Elle pairs modern architecture with abundant natural light, flexible indoor-outdoor space, and on-site parking, so your team can focus on the program instead of circling the block hunting for a garage.
Why Saint Elle Is a Standout Corporate Event Space in Nashville
If your venue shortlist is starting to look like a page of identical hotel ballrooms, consider Saint Elle your plot twist. The venue’s main hall, the Bow Truss, spans 6,036 square feet under soaring arched wood ceilings, with an open floor plan and a built-in bar. The 1,871-square-foot Conservatory works as a natural extension of the Bow Truss, adding floor-to-ceiling windows and treetop views to the main hall. And for some fresh air, glass doors open directly from the Bow Truss onto a partially covered patio.
The location is just as practical. Saint Elle sits at 1420 3rd Ave S in Wedgewood-Houston, minutes from Music City Center and roughly 10 to 15 minutes from Nashville International Airport (BNA). With on-site parking, nobody has to expense downtown garage rates or stroll in late and flustered.
The real secret weapon, though, is the team behind the space. Saint Elle is owned and operated by Infinity Hospitality Group, and its partners work inside the building every week:
Catering and bar through Dream Events & Catering
AV, lighting, and production through Nashville Lighting & Production
Coordination through a dedicated Infinity Hospitality event coordinator
Corporate Events Saint Elle Hosts
Saint Elle is a bit of a shapeshifter: buttoned-up for a seated dinner, buzzy for a launch, and all business for a morning of presentations. Saint Elle has hosted events for teams including Nissan, Vanderbilt, Warner Music Group, and the Nashville Chamber of Commerce.
Corporate Dinners and Galas
The Bow Truss accommodates up to 550 seated guests under its arched ceilings, with dimmable built-in lighting that shifts the room from bright reception to candlelit dinner. A permanent velvet curtain divides the main hall from the Conservatory, so you get a proper dramatic reveal between cocktail hour and dinner.
Conferences and Meetings
Theater-style seating for 450 and classroom seating for 300 make Saint Elle a natural fit for keynotes, workshops, and full-day sessions. Natural light keeps attendees awake (goodbye, windowless 2 p.m. slump), and breakouts can spill into the Conservatory.
Product Launches and Brand Activations
The open floor plan works as a blank canvas for exhibits, demo stations, and branded installations. Custom lighting and projection through NLP let your brand take over the room, from the front door to the main stage.
Holiday Parties
Holiday parties at Saint Elle can combine a seated dinner, a full bar, and a dance floor in one evening. Weeknight dates are priced lower than Fridays and Saturdays, which means more of the December budget goes toward the celebration and less to the room.
Networking Events and Receptions
With a standing capacity of 675, Saint Elle supports large mixers and industry receptions. The built-in bar, patio, and Conservatory give guests plenty of places to mingle, and plenty of excuses to swap business cards over a cocktail.
Fundraisers and Nonprofit Events
Saint Elle has hosted fundraisers for organizations such as Thistle Farms, the YMCA, and Ella’s House. Silent auction tables, a program stage, and a seated dinner fit comfortably in one space, with room left over for a friendly bidding war or two.
Awards Ceremonies and Company Celebrations
Stage, screens, and wireless microphones turn the Bow Truss into an awards room, then back into a party the second the last trophy leaves the stage.
Saint Elle Capacity by Event Format
The short version: Saint Elle’s corporate event space holds up to 675 guests standing and 550 seated. Translation: invite the whole company.

AV, Lighting, and Production Through Nashville Lighting & Production
All lighting and production at Saint Elle is handled by Nashville Lighting & Production (NLP), a full-service Nashville production company. Because NLP works in the building regularly, your production plan is built alongside the venue and catering timeline, not bolted on by an outside crew hunting for outlets on load-in day.
NLP can support:
Staging: stages and risers for keynotes, panels, awards, and live music
Visual displays: projection, screens, HD presentation displays, and projection mapping
Audio: wireless handheld and lavalier microphones, podium mics, and sound reinforcement for speeches and presentations
Live streaming: for hybrid meetings and remote audiences
Lighting design: uplighting, ambient washes, and dynamic effects
Branding: custom gobos and lighting in company colors
Live entertainment production: bands, DJs, and performers
Power and technical planning: for production-heavy programs
The venue also has built-in hi-fi speakers with a microphone for toasts and announcements, plus dimmable in-house lighting, so a quick welcome toast won't require a full rock-concert rig. An on-site event production office gives your production team a home base during the event.
Catering and Bar Service
All food and beverage at Saint Elle is provided by Dream Events & Catering, working from the venue’s on-site catering kitchen. Menus are built around your event format, guest count, schedule, and budget rather than one fixed package.
Catering formats include:
Plated dinners for galas and awards nights
Buffets and chef-attended stations
Passed hors d'oeuvres for receptions and launches
Breakfast, lunch, and coffee breaks for full-day meetings
Reception-style menus for networking events
The bar program offers signature cocktails, curated wine, and hand-selected beer, with bar packages scaled to the length and tone of your event. Non-alcoholic options and zero-proof cocktails keep every guest included. The kitchen can accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and common allergy needs, so every guest has something great on their plate.
Indoor-Outdoor Flexibility
Saint Elle gives planners three connected areas on one level, so your event can pull off a few costume changes without anyone leaving the building:
The Bow Truss (6,036 sq ft): the main hall for dinner, presentations, and entertainment
The Conservatory (1,871 sq ft): a temperature-controlled, glass-walled room for registration, cocktail hour, breakouts, or a VIP lounge
The Patio (1,000 sq ft): a partially covered outdoor space connected to the Bow Truss for networking and fresh air
A typical evening might open with registration and drinks in the Conservatory, move to the patio for networking, then reveal the Bow Truss for dinner and a program behind the velvet curtain. That flow keeps energy up and gives each part of the agenda its own setting, which is a lot to ask of four ballroom walls.
