Downtown Convention Hotels (Omni, JW Marriott, Grand Hyatt)

When booking major meeting spaces at luxury downtown hotels like the Omni Nashville, JW Marriott, or Grand Hyatt, standard hotel drip coffee rarely cuts it.

The Fairgrounds Nashville & Unique Corporate Venues

Whether it’s a regional consumer expo at the Fairgrounds or an upscale corporate gala at the Country Music Hall of Fame, our setups are highly adaptable. Because our espresso carts only require a 5x5 footprint and standard 110v power, we can bring the authentic Wedgewood-Houston coffee shop experience to virtually any venue across Middle Tennessee.
