ELM Nashville, a restored 19th-century church in downtown’s Rutledge Hill neighborhood, will once again welcome life’s celebrations and creative experiences next year. The new event venue is now accepting booking inquiries and reservations for weddings, corporate gatherings and other occasions beginning March 1, 2026 at elmnashville.com.

In 2024, Nashville-based collaborators Genie Lee and Andrew Tuttle were entrusted by GBX Group, a national leader in historic preservation and redevelopment, to lead the venue’s revival with a team of local creatives.
