Wedding venues in Tennessee

Planning a company event in Tennessee

Nashville has become one of the busiest meeting cities in the US, with large hotels, a central airport and live music every night. Groups that want a quieter setting head to the farms around Franklin or to lodges in the Great Smoky Mountains.

When to go

Spring and autumn are the most pleasant seasons for meetings with time outdoors. Nashville is busy all year with conventions and weekend visitors, so book hotel blocks early, especially for spring and autumn. Summers are hot and humid; the Smokies are crowded with visitors in October.

Getting the team there

Nashville International has direct flights from most large US cities and some international routes, and downtown is a short transfer away. Memphis, Knoxville and Chattanooga have their own airports for events in other parts of the state.

City hotels and country retreats

Downtown Nashville has large hotels with meeting space within walking distance of restaurants and music venues. Around Franklin, estates and farms suit smaller retreats, while mountain lodges and resorts in the Smokies give a team space to work away from the city.

Activities

Songwriting workshops and private concerts in Nashville, Tennessee whiskey tastings, Civil War history in Franklin, blues and barbecue in Memphis, and hikes or river trips in the Smokies. An evening of live music is the most requested group outing in Nashville.

How are these venues chosen and ordered?

By documented renown first, then by how fully each venue is documented (photographs, rooms, capacities), never by payment: venues do not pay to appear and the guide takes no commission. How we select venues.

Where can you hold a corporate event in Tennessee?

In Nashville for larger groups, with big downtown hotels and music venues for evenings. For a smaller retreat, farms and estates around Franklin or lodges in the Great Smoky Mountains offer a quieter setting.

When is the best time for a company retreat in Nashville?

Spring and autumn offer the best weather, but they are also the busiest seasons, so reserve rooms early. Summer is hot and humid; winter is quieter and often easier for availability.

What team activities can you do in Nashville?

Songwriting workshops with local musicians, private concerts, live music on Broadway, whiskey tastings and cooking classes based on Southern food. Day trips to Franklin or the countryside add history and open space.
