What Saint Elle does
Saint Elle is a private event venue in Nashville's Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood, operated by Infinity Hospitality Group and housed in a converted 1950s bowstring truss building at 1420 3rd Avenue S. The venue comprises three primary event spaces — the 6,036 sq ft Bow Truss main hall, the 1,871 sq ft Conservatory with floor-to-ceiling windows, and a 1,000 sq ft partially covered Patio — plus two getting-ready suites (The Suite and The Green Room), on-site parking for 150 guests, dimmable lighting, built-in Hi-Fi speakers, and a built-in bar. Maximum capacity is 600 guests for cocktail-style receptions, 250-300 for seated dinners, and 400-450 for theater-style or fully seated dining.
The business serves two primary customer segments: weddings and private social events, and corporate events for clients including Nissan, Sony Music, Warner Music Group, Live Nation, Vanderbilt University, Belmont University, Geodis, Soho House, Country Music Awards, YMCA, and the Chamber of Commerce. Revenue is generated primarily through per-event venue rental (range $5,000-$10,000 disclosed) bundled with exclusive full-service catering via Dream Events and Catering and production services via Nashville Lighting and Production. The company also operates STE Mobile Bar, a mobile bar service extending the Saint Elle beverage and hospitality brand to external venues. Sales are direct-to-consumer via website inquiry, phone (615.369.6474), and email ([email protected]), supported by in-person and virtual tours, with Saturday peak-season weddings booking 12-18 months in advance.
Saint Elle differentiates through its historic industrial-chic architecture, single-level floor plan that flows seamlessly between spaces, a permanent curtain for ceremony-to-reception reveals, and integration into the broader Infinity Hospitality Group portfolio (The Bell Tower, The Bridge Building, The Estate at Cherokee Dock, Saddle Woods Farm, The Cordelle, Estelle), which provides cross-referral demand and shared event-coordination staff. Marketing is visual and content-led through the company website, virtual tour, and Instagram (@thesaintelle). Headcount is listed at 1-10 employees and no funding, M&A, or institutional investor activity is disclosed.
