Custom Awnings, Tents and More! It was renamed Nashville Tent & Awning Co. by owner H.G.

Husband and today continues to be owned/operated by the fourth generations of the Husband family! Over the years, Nashville Tent & Awning Co. has expanded to serve not only the Nashville area, but also customers on t

he East Coast, West Coast, as far north as Canada and as far south as the Caribbean. Our dedication to superior craftsmanship and the steadfast work ethic of our workers (many of whom have been with us for 10, 20, 30 and 40+ years and are like family) have kept the company going for over 140 years. Our customers are part of this family, too, and we hope to be serving those same customers and their families for many years to come.

More than 40,000 square feet of tenting came together to create this year’s Swan Ball, transforming an open field into an unforgettable evening.

From the first truckload on site to the final details in place, every part of the build required coordination, craftsmanship, and the dedication of an incredible crew working behind the scenes to bring it all together.

And just like that, we did it.
