Planning a corporate holiday party in Nashville can be overwhelming - especially when you're tasked with pleasing everyone from the CEO to the summer intern. With dietary restrictions to consider, tight timelines to manage, and pressure to "wow" your guests, the last thing you want is another stressful night of phone calls, spreadsheets, and compromise.

But what if it didn’t have to be that way?

At A Little Local Flavor, we specialize in planning unforgettable Nashville corporate events - from holiday parties in private dining rooms to full-scale custom experiences with live music, wine pairings, award ceremonies, and elegant extras. Whether you’re planning for 12 or 120, we can make it seamless.

This post is your roadmap to planning a stress-free, highly personalized holiday celebration - with just one point of contact, and all the magic of Music City at your team’s fingertips.

Step 1: Pick a Vibe — We’ll Handle the Rest

From upscale private dinners to full-scale custom events

Not all company Christmas party ideas in Nashville should look the same. We help you create an experience that reflects your company’s energy and values.

Our most popular options include:

Holiday Walking Food Tour + (optional) Holiday Afterparty: Start with a downtown Nashville walking food tour, then transition to a festive private venue for drinks, dessert, and music. This two-part format is perfect for groups wanting both movement and a sit-down celebration.
Private Dining Holiday Party Nashville: An intimate, exclusive celebration in one of our favorite locally owned restaurants. We handle menu planning, service flow, and ambiance.
Custom Events in Music Venues: Want a private venue with live music, cocktails, chef stations, and space for awards or mingling? We book the space, build the menu, and produce a night your team will never forget.
Festive Pairing Dinners or Cocktail Receptions: Think champagne welcome cocktails, wine-paired dinners, whiskey tastings, or themed holiday mixers with live jazz or bluegrass.
Holiday Pop-Up Experiences: Rent out one of Nashville’s ever-popular holiday pop-up spaces for your private event. Many incredible spaces around Nashville are decked out with whimsical holiday decor, themed cocktails, and cozy ambiance, a ready-made party with all the magic included.
Cocktail or Wine Pairing Dining Tour: Looking for an upscale tour with cocktail and / or wine pairings to celebrate the holiday? We’ve curated amazing experiences for some of the country’s biggest companies

Step 2: Add Unique Touches to Make It Yours

Holiday event upgrades that set your party apart

As Nashville’s premier dining concierge for corporate groups, we can include unique and unforgettable experiences like:

Self-guided tours of the Ryman Auditorium
Cocktail classes with expert mixologists
Welcome champagne reception at an iconic fine dining venue
Private whiskey tastings at renowned local bars
A celebratory awards ceremony in a private historic space

These thoughtful add-ons create a sense of occasion and elevate your celebration beyond the expected. Let us know what kind of tone you're looking for: festive, formal, musical, or memorable, and we’ll design the night around it.

Step 3: Trust a Local to Handle the Logistics

Turnkey event planning for your Nashville holiday party

We’ve built our reputation on being easy to work with, responsive, and detail-obsessed. When you book your event through our team, you get:

One dedicated point of contact (founder-led support from Christine or our event coordinator)
Seamless scheduling, contracts, and communication
Menu and bar planning made easy (with wine pairings or festive cocktails)
Local knowledge on venues, entertainment, and logistics most planners don’t have access to

Step 4: Offer Something for Everyone

Experiences that reflect your team's diversity and taste

Whether your group includes sales leaders, engineers, creatives, or clients from across the country, we create experiences that:

Include both drinkers and non-drinkers (mocktails, NA wine, creative zero-proof cocktails)
Offer flexible food menus (allergies, gluten-free, vegan, etc.)
Respect your team’s culture, whether that means elegant, lively, cozy, or unexpected

Want a space where your CEO can give a toast, your newest team member can mingle, and everyone can dance or relax as they wish? We’ll help you create the balance.

Step 5: Let the Music Play

Why live music belongs in your company’s Christmas party

You’re in Music City and your corporate holiday party in Nashville should reflect that. We work with local artists and venues to include:

Live country, rock-n-roll, bluegrass, jazz, singer-songwriter sets, or classic holiday covers - we work with the best bands in Nashville
Private venues with staging and sound included
Musicians who bring the spirit of Nashville without overpowering the room

Music is the heartbeat of this city, and when paired with amazing food and drink, it creates a truly unforgettable atmosphere.

Step 6: Celebrate Locally, Proudly, and Personally

Support Nashville’s best while treating your team

We’ve invested over $1 million into locally owned restaurants in downtown Nashville, and we remain the only tour and concierge company in town run by its original founder.

Every event we plan supports:

Local and family-run businesses
Local musicians and mixologists
Authentic Nashville venues - not tourist traps
