    Annmarie and the Noah Liff staff are a dream! Aside from offering a beautiful and unique space within a close proximity to downtown Nashville, you could not ask for a better team to work with! Communication is quick and easy, the team is flexible and courteous, and they love what they do and truly care about their couples and the vendors they work with! It shows in every aspect of the job from site visits, communication during the planning process, and on the day of an event! I cannot wait to be back at Noah Liff for another wedding!

  • A beautiful modern venue with helpful staff

    I am a wedding coordinator and have planned many weddings and events at Noah Liff Opera Center. I love the venue's natural light and private feel, tucked away just outside the west end of downtown. The staff is always very helpful and their in-house audio-visual and uplights are a nice perk! Cant wait to plan the next one.

    Noah Liff is amazing to work with and working at. The staff is incredible and accommodating. They go above and beyond to meet any and every expectation, with a smile. I can’t say enough kind things about them. The venue itself has an incredible layout and they offer many things ‘in house’ that most venues would not. From lighting to tables and a freight elevator for convenience to your vendors. The space is beautiful, well kept and safety is always a priority.
