Testimonials
"We used this venue for a video shoot and it was PERFECT! The owner was so accommodating, she made our shoot easier than we had planned! The space is so large and perfect for shoots, plus there is a lot of cool furniture that you can use instead of finding props. Plenty of parking, a great garage door for load in, and just a beautiful set up. I definitely recommend using 1212 Germantown for your party or a location for a shoot!”

“In working with business groups at retreats and events for over 30 years, I’ve learned that location and venue are critical keys to success. 1212 Germantown delivers on both counts.
The Germantown neighborhood is the best of Nashville and 1212 has the perfect design and vibe for great meetings. Bonus factors are The Germantown Inn next door, a legendary cupcake shop right across the street, and Julie is a pleasure to work with!”

"I feel hip when I am at 1212 Germantown. They have been able to blend historic with cool and modern in the same spacious building. I love the loft area that feels like a bar, complete with televisions and shuffle board tables. From this spot, I can watch all the action with the people in the studio below. I think it’s a perfect spot for pre-event gatherings, fundraisers, football and baseball draft parties, high school or family reunions and all kinds of business events. It’s so close to all the downtown action like the stadium, TopGolf, TPAC, the Bridgestone arena and, of course, Broadway.

"1212 Germantown an eclectic blend of historic and modern so convenient for events downtown. I have used the space as a gathering spot prior to a party for the Nashville Eclipse. We used JoyRide so we would not have to park downtown and it was less than a 5 minute ride to Broadway. I have also used the conference rooms for board meetings. My favorite conference room is the one with couches and chairs and large wireless display. The atmosphere is perfect for relaxed collaboration and inspiration for retreats and corporate events."

"This space is well represented in the photos and was the ideal size for my meeting. It was simple to connect to the monitor and the white boards were great. The host, Julie, was very attentive. She followed up before the event to make sure arrangements were set, she was also on site during the event and made coffee for attendees and was available in case of questions. The location is well designed and has good energy. I highly recommend."

"1212 Germantown is my favorite place to have work meetings in Nashville. Whenever I walk into the building, I feel energized to meet with my team and tackle the discussions of the day. I especially love the Bowling Alley conference room. The unique table (old bowling lanes) always sparks my imagination. The space is amazing because it inspires creativity in a comfortable atmosphere. The kitchen next door makes it very convenient to have a healthy meal during the meetings.
1212 Germantown is one of a kind in Nashville because of the location and the actual space. It is located in historic Germantown with lots of restaurants and coffee houses within blocks. It’s just a great spot in a wonderful neighborhood.

"What a special spot! It's one of the great old homes that really represent the Nashville I grew up in, yet it is open and flows. The space doesn't dictate a style, it can take on whatever you want-traditional, barn, modern, etc. The big open studio, with great windows and the back staircase, provided great light and architecture from which to create our own personal statement. I really love that it has the outdoor areas and the huge garage door that leads to them. These elements, put together, create the perfect inside/outside combo. We were able to have conversation space at the same time a dance party was happening. The exquisite staircase and multiple porches allowed for some great onsite photos."
