FAQ

Horton Events has an exclusive agreement for beverage supply. Our in-house, customizable beverage provider offers planning as an optional add-on service

If you have booked a 24-hour rental, your vendors can load in at 10 AM on the day of your event and can continue to load out until 10 AM the following day. However, if you have booked an hourly rental, your vendors must complete their loading and unloading within the time frame specified in your contract. If you require additional time, please inform your Horton Events contact.

We require proof of liability insurance, which any licensed vendor will have.

Horton Events has a seated capacity of 150 guests, theater seating of 200, and 300 guests for a standing event such as a cocktail party type event.

When you book Horton Events, you will receive the entire venue, including the covered patio, indoor showroom, prep kitchen, tables, chairs, and a dedicated room just for you. Our additional amenities, such as the photo booth, planning services, and beverage service, are completely optional and available for an extra cost.

We offer flexible rental windows—from hourly to 24-hour to multi-day, depending on your needs. Hourly rentals may not be available on prime weekend days.

If you book a 24-hour rental, the venue will be available from 10 AM on the day of your event until 10 AM the following day. This means you will have 24 hours to set up, enjoy your event, and clean up afterward. It’s a great option for those who need extra time to prepare or simply want to take their time enjoying the space.

If you are picking up the following morning, you’ll need to coordinate with the venue manager in advance to ensure that we have someone on site to let you into the building.

There is no curfew. You can party as long as you want, but we do have to stop serving and consuming alcohol according to local regulations.

If you rent for 24 hours, then yes, you can return the next morning before 10 a.m. We recommend designating someone to take gifts and personal items home the night of the event.

If you are picking up the following morning, you’ll need to coordinate with the venue manager in advance to ensure that we have someone on site to let you into the building.

A Client team member will be with you from booking to event day, ensuring a perfect venue function. The Event Manager arrives once the alcohol starts flowing.

We highly recommend utilizing our planning services. Although there is an additional fee, it is certainly worth it. Our planners will not only ensure that your event goes perfectly, but they will also give you your life back. They will stay with you throughout the evening and take care of everything from your setup and flip to vendor logistics. You can trust us to pull off your event without a hitch.

Guest parking can be arranged in advance for a preferential rate.  Elsewise, attendees can park in the paid lots & each pay for their own parking at whatever that day’s rate is.

You can rehearse the day before your event; the timing depends on whether we have an event that day. Please contact your event manager for more information.

You and your vendors will be responsible for setting up and removing any items they bring into the venue. Our rental service includes clean-up such as sweeping, mopping and bathroom cleaning. However, any personal belongings or event items must be removed by the end of your rental period. In case you book Horton Event’s planning services, your planner will take care of your personal items and handle all your vendor expectations.

Since you are in downtown Nashville, hundreds of hotels are around the event space. Within ¼ mile are the Hyatt, the Westin, and the JW Marriott.

We have a team of in-house event planners.  Additionally, we have partnerships with specialized event planners in the community to offer a wider array of expertise.

We make every effort to maintain transparency with regard to the costs associated with our venue rental fees, as well as fees associated with the amenities and services we offer. In the case of weddings, we do not charge a separate fee for ceremonies. However, please note that any potential additional costs, such as obtaining event insurance, will be outlined in your venue rental agreement.

It is the client’s responsibility to purchase their event insurance policy as per industry standards. Vendors are required to provide a copy of their business insurance policy upon being hired for an event. However, if a vendor has been employed by Horton Events before, we may already have a copy of their insurance policy on file.

Event insurance can be obtained a-la-carte via EventHelper.

If you plan to serve alcohol at your event, our in-house beverage program is mandatory. This program can be tailored to your specific budget and requirements. Special services like dinner wine service, water stations, and specialty cocktails are optional and not mandatory. As per industry standards, the final beverage order will include sales tax, a gratuity for the beverage staff, and an operations fee. These individual charges will be clearly mentioned in your Horton Events beverage proposal.

We provide planning services to all our clients. Each package offers different services and may have additional charges if you wish to include an extra planner, more hours, or meetings with vendors. Our planners will go through the package contract with you and explain the services included. Gratuity is not mandatory, but it is always appreciated for exceptional service.
