JW Marriott Nashville AV & Production
Independent AV in the Griffin Ballroom & Beyond
The JW Marriott Nashville is the city's 33-story Marriott flagship in SoBro — steps from the Music City Center, with roughly 50,000 square feet of upscale event space anchored by the Griffin Ballroom. Nashville Audio Visual is your independent production partner here: an alternative to in-house AV that usually saves money and gives you a dedicated crew.
We know the building — the ballroom rigging, the load-in, the meeting levels — so your setup is faster and calmer, whether it's a board meeting or a black-tie gala.

Independent AV = Real Savings

- Well below in-house AV rates for comparable scope
- We handle the hotel's insurance, rigging & labor rules
- Steps from Music City Center — ideal for HQ-hotel events
- Serving Nashville since 1995 — CMA Fest & NFL Draft experience
