Healthcare Services Company Corporate Retreat in Nashville
When a fast-growing healthcare company needs to bring their whole team together for the first time, the location sets the stage for everything that follows. For this healthcare services company's three-day corporate retreat, we chose Nashville and Franklin, Tennessee—a destination that offered the perfect blend of Southern hospitality, luxury accommodations, and unique team-building opportunities.
We based the group at 1 Hotel Nashville and kicked off with a welcome reception at Harriet's that established immediate connection and energy as colleagues met new hires and reconnected with familiar faces. The following evening, we transported the team to Luke Bryan's 32 Bridge for dinner, giving everyone a taste of Nashville's downtown entertainment scene.
The centerpiece of the retreat was a full day at Southall Farm & Inn in Franklin, where we organized a TeamQuest scavenger hunt that encouraged collaboration across the property's beautiful grounds. The day culminated in a covered bridge dinner at Southall—an intimate setting enhanced by live music from Lauren Vale and floral design by Libby & Laine.
Our team managed venue coordination across multiple locations, transportation logistics between Nashville and Franklin, custom gift curation featuring Owala bottles and JBL speakers with Nashville-themed touches, and photography coordination by Jason Mallory. For a company bringing everyone together for the first time, we created a retreat experience that balanced strategic planning sessions with opportunities to build genuine connections—the kind that carry forward long after everyone returns home.
