Our Reviews
“As artists, we try to authentically reflect our environment—what we see, feel, sense and hear. While setting up my studio at Local Ark, my co-workers and I drew from the peace of our surroundings to create media, music and visuals for others. This is a place to “make” from a spirit of rest and calm.”

Our daughter was married last week at The Local Ark and we had a great experience working with Scott & Delaney to make it a wonderful & special day! They were super easy to work with, very accommodating with my room set up requests and were quick to respond to questions/concerns. Our guests were so impressed with the adorable chapel and the amazing venue space for the reception & dinner. Even our Chef/caterer was impressed with how easy it was to work with the Local Ark. If you’re looking for a sweet & small venue - I definitely recommend The Local Ark!

“Wow, we have found our place to meet and get things done. Our Company recently held our executive leadership meeting at the Local Ark. It was our best strategic meeting in any year. The location settled just 5 minutes from downtown Franklin, was a very relaxed and casual setting in the rolling hills out in the country. Not only was the new facility outstanding, the staff was professional and so accommodating, making us feel as if we were truly “home.” In addition, they prepared our breakfast and lunch for us in a great setting, saving us a lot of time that we could constructively use, rather than having to drive someplace to eat. Plus, the food was outstanding. At our breaks, coffee, water, and snacks were provided. I would highly recommend using this facility for your corporate meetings. We have already booked our annual Sales team meeting at the facility. So, needless to say, we will be back!”
