WEDDINGS & PRIVATE EVENTS AT THE PARTHENON

A Unique And Historic Place For Your Event

Music City is blessed to have the iconic Parthenon as a must-see attraction for all visitors. The building is an elegant space to host your next private event with room for up to 225 seated guests or 500 for a mix and mingle event. It is perfect for weddings, parties, and receptions — there is no other place like it in the Western Hemisphere. Also, The Parthenon houses a museum with rotating contemporary exhibits plus a permanent collection. Its Naos room boasts a stunning 42 ft. golden statue of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, and the Treasury features casts of the original Parthenon. 

What makes a Parthenon wedding or private event experience distinct?

  • THE VIEWS: Our grand architecture, iconic statue, and a beautiful Centennial Park setting offer remarkable indoor and outdoor photo & video opportunities 

  • PEERLESS VENUE: A historic, renowned, memorable location that has no match in the world (fully restored, that is!!)

  • ACCESS: Located near downtown Nashville, but away from the congestion, the Parthenon also offers ample, FREE parking

  • GRANDEUR + INTIMACY: Nestled within the 132-acre Centennial Park with majestic columns, high ceiling, and a 42 ft. tall Athena statue, the Parthenon hosts an intimate 225 seated guests or 500 for a mix and mingle arrangement

  • MUSEUM ACCESS: Your guests can enjoy exclusive access to the art galleries, Naos, and Treasury areas

  • SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY: Rental proceeds go back to sustaining the Parthenon and the Park by benefitting the nonprofit Centennial Park Conservancy

The Parthenon is available for private reservations after public museum hours. A private reservation includes exclusive access to the art galleries, Naos, and Treasury.
