Bars on Display
Looking for a chic way to set up a display of beverages? Having your bar display refreshments in a buffet-style is something we love seeing at Nashville events. Our Harpeth Bar is the latest piece added to our catalog, with chic clean lines and stunning architecture. The recessed inset allows you to customize each bar to fit your event with your company logo, lite panels or floral inserts. Placing our favorite Cybil Glassware alongside bottles of refreshing alcoholic and non-alcoholic options allows guests to serve themselves at smaller events.
Another great option for using bars to display beverages is setting up infused water stations throughout the venue. Especially if you’re having an outdoor southern gathering, you’ll want to keep your guests hydrated! Having water options somewhere other than the main bar is a great way to help people stay refreshed without dealing with long lines. Our Acrylic Top with Fruitwood Column was gorgeous at this garden wedding styled shoot, and draped with our Bloom Chiffon Runner.
Whiskey Barrel Bars
Nothing says “Nashville Party” like Whiskey! Displaying fun desserts on a Whiskey Bar is a unique and fun way to incorporate southern fun with a sweet tooth. We’ve got plenty of pedestals to choose from, and our Wyatt Pedestal Cake Stands looks especially dreamy on a Whiskey Bar.
We also love setting up the Remington Bar Stools with Whiskey Barrel Bars to create extra high-top tables for the cocktail hour. This helps maximize your Nashville event venue space while adding a rustic touch. Add a lantern or two on top to create the design you desire – we’ve got plenty to choose from!
Franklin Bar Collection
If you’ve got lots of guests to care for, you’ll need multiple bars. Our Franklin Bars are perfect for the job – with 4ft and 8ft long bars with wood columns to match, you can easily mix and match to create the design and flow your event needs. And with their traditional, upscale look in a variety of finishes, the Franklin Bars are perfect for all your corporate, nonprofit, or traditional wedding needs.
Some of our favorite bar setups include two bars with a matching column in the middle, two or three bars side to side, or two bars creating an “L” shape at the corner of your venue – the perfect solution to long lines! With options in Antique White, Blackwood, Grayson, and Fruitwood you’re sure to find a Franklin Bar that fits.
Minibars
Setting up stations around your event is a great way to keep crowds happy and hydrated. Adding minibars along the perimeter of the dance floor or just outside the cocktail area makes sure all guests can find something to sip on. Have these be a “beer only” or “non-alcoholic beverages only” bar, or display Our Franklin 4ft Bars look amazing at weddings, social events, fundraisers, non-profit events and corporate events in the Nashville and Middle Tennessee area!
Rustic Bars
Set the scene with rustic specialty bar, like the Bond 6ft Bar made of rustic refurbished wood. This one-of-a-kind bar is a great way to add character to your event.
Boxwood Walls
Looking to create even more character at your Nashville event? The Boxwood Walls are a great way to add foliage to your party, creating walls where there aren’t any. Use it to add a background to your middle-of-the-room bar – your guests will love the greenery!

Votive Candles and Lanterns on various side tables, or even on the floor surrounding the stage area are the perfect answer to setting the mood at your Music City event.
Urban Wood Side Table
Musicians will need somewhere to place their water, and guests will want somewhere to set their drinks. The popular Urban Wood Side Table brings dark, rustic wood front and center making it a great addition to your Music City singer-songwriter showcase.

Our Vintage Auditorium Seats create a nostalgic music experience for listeners while retaining that unique Nashville vibe.
Farm Bistro & Crossback Stools
Give listeners somewhere to sit and enjoy their drinks while taking in the music – our Farm Bistro tables are great high-top tables (perfect for creating stadium seating behind lower couches and sofas), while our Crossback Stools add a rustic Nashville touch to a musical experience.

Modern romance was the vision for our inspiration style shoot at the breathtaking Estate at Cherokee Dock in Nashville, TN. The shoot featured a dreamy pink, white and gold color palette as ee partnered with the wedding planning team from It Takes Two. Pairing romantic vintage rentals with sleek, modern rentals to create this look, we’re in love with the results!
White draping under a gorgeous magnolia tree on the estate provided the perfect canvas for a romantic outdoor affair. For our garden dining area, we paired vintage inspired Adeline Dining Chairs with Ivory Luxe Linens for texture and romantic style. Our table setting included our elegant Gatsby Champagne Coupe, Madison Glassware, and charming Darcy China combined with metallic modern accents. Our gold Austin Flatware, Vera Floral Gold Accent Dessert Plate, and Medallion Gold Glass Charger provided just enough sparkle while a beautiful floral centerpiece by Petals and Fields tied everything together.
For the ceremony, Acrylic Ghost Chairs provided an unexpected touch of modern style to the ceremony, completing the marriage modern and romantic. A few of our favorite vintage pieces, including our Vintage Harper Couch and Leona Coffee Table, were used to create intimate lounge area while our Acrylic Rectangle Containers tied back to the other modern touches.
The fabulous cake by Lillian Lane Bakery was displayed on an elegant White Chiffon Runner over our Isabel Oval Table, and surrounded the gorgeous confection with candlelight, set off in our Davis Glass Cylinders. So much to love!
