What Does the Open Vendor Policy Mean at 14TENN?

July 8, 2025

When planning a wedding, one of the first decisions couples face is who they’ll trust to bring their vision to life. From florals and catering to entertainment and coordination, vendors play a huge role in creating the atmosphere of your big day. That’s why more and more couples are searching for an open vendor wedding venue in Nashville. At 14TENN, that’s exactly what we offer.

As a venue that supports an open vendor policy, we give you the freedom to work with the professionals you know, love, and trust. No required lists. No hidden fees. Just a flexible space and an experienced team ready to support your celebration, your way.

What Is an Open Vendor Policy?

An open vendor policy means you’re not locked into a predetermined list of vendors. Unlike many all-inclusive venues or spaces with exclusive vendor partnerships, an open vendor venue gives you the freedom to curate your own team.

Here’s what couples can typically choose when their venue has an open vendor policy:

  • Caterer

  • Florist and decor

  • DJ or band

  • Planner or coordinator

  • Dessert and specialty treat providers

Why Couples Love This Flexibility

Having the freedom to choose your own vendors puts the power in your hands. It allows you to control your budget, customize your wedding’s aesthetic, and collaborate with vendors that reflect your background, tastes, and priorities.

Some couples use this flexibility to hire culturally specific vendors or longtime family favorites. Others appreciate the ability to handpick a team that aligns with their personal style.

“…They were so flexible with us when it came to vendors, catering, and all the little details that came with hosting an event there,” says Sarah, a recent 14TENN bride.

14TENN’s Vendor Policy Explained

At 14TENN, we welcome all licensed and insured vendors to be part of your event. We believe that your day should reflect your personality, rather than a preset list of options.

Here’s what’s allowed under our open vendor policy:

  • You may bring any licensed and insured vendor of your choice

  • Food trucks and specialty catering services are welcome…coffee cart, anyone?

  • You may hire your own coordinator or planning team

  • We provide clear logistics and access details to ensure a smooth event

Our goal is to make it easy for your vendor team to bring your vision to life, without unnecessary restrictions or surprise fees.
