TESTIMONIAL
“Harbor + Union is the most exciting space to come to in downtown Franklin — a perfect blend of trendy and historic. The space is cool, full of character, and feels both old and new in the best way. It’s always a joy to invite people here and be part of something special. The team embodies true Southern hospitality — they anticipate what we need before we even ask. That level of care makes every experience unforgettable.”
