The 7 Best Holiday Party Venues in Nashville

August 29, 2023

When considering where to host your holiday events in Nashville, there are several things to consider: Do you want to have a theme? If so, what type of venue aesthetic or amenities are needed to match the theme? Can the event space accommodate your guest count?

14TENN is a top holiday party venue in Nashville, TN, but we recognize that it may not be the best fit for every event. Details such as size, budget, location, and availability are all considerations when looking for the best holiday party venue for your company.

Nashville offers a plethora of holiday party ideas and spaces to choose from. When choosing the location for your next private event, we suggest looking for a flexible event space that can accommodate any theme.

Regardless of what you are looking for, we are here to help you find a great space for your celebration. If that’s 14TENN, then great! If it happens to be somewhere else, we have some great recommendations.

1. Country Music Hall of Fame

If you’re looking to host your next holiday gathering in a space that honors the city of Nashville, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum is perfect for your corporate event!

The museum’s most popular celebration spaces are the Mike Curb Conservatory and the Hall of Fame Rotunda. Both centering around the history of Nashville, this unique event venue is fantastic for a private party.

The museum also offers special amenities such as customized Hatch Show Print posters and invitations, valet parking, specialty lighting and décor, and after-hours Museum tours.

Since it’s downtown, the festivities can continue at the honky-tonks on Broadway even after your gathering is over.

2. Ryman Auditorium

Your team will love experiencing live entertainment at this historic Nashville event venue. During the holiday season, the Ryman Auditorium offers an annual holiday performance of ‘Christmas at the Ryman’ by Amy Grant and Vince Gill. 

This music city tradition sells out quickly, so reserve tickets for one of the matinee shows in advance on the Ryman’s website. After the show, treat your colleagues to a cocktail reception in one of the Ryman’s private event spaces. No matter your group size, The Ryman’s party spaces can accommodate both intimate and large parties.
