At Heron Building Co, our mission is to design and create outdoor spaces that are both beautiful and functional, setting the stage for connection and community. We believe that outdoor entertaining in Tennessee should be an experience that effortlessly blends hospitality, enjoying nature, and an ode to the vibrant culture of Franklin and Nashville. Here are some tips to make your spring gathering a memorable affair!
1. A Warm Welcome
How your guests feel right off the bat sets the tone for the rest of the evening. Greet them with a touch of warmth—perhaps with a welcome drink or small gesture as they arrive. It’s the small things that set the tone for a fantastic outdoor gathering.
2. Incorporate Nature
Bring the beauty of Tennessee’s spring front and center by clipping some fresh greenery or vibrant blooms. Use them as table settings or centerpieces for that extra touch of elegance, creating a fresh and lively atmosphere.
3. Comfortable Seating
Designate a cozy hang area with comfortable seating, cushions, and throws. There’s nothing more welcoming than an inviting nook where guests can unwind, relax, and enjoy the outdoors without sacrificing comfort.
4. Drool-Worthy Local Menu
The real all-star move is letting pros handle the menu. Have a local Franklin or Nashville restaurant cater your gathering, and transfer the food to beautiful serving dishes and platters for effortless family style or buffet dining. Zero stress and zero cleanup— the ultimate win-win.
5. Wireless Lamp Lighting
When it comes to outdoor entertaining, ambient lighting is a must. Set the mood outdoors with the warm glow of wireless lamps and natural candles. They add a cozy touch, creating an inviting atmosphere for gathering and chatting.
6. Citrus Infused Water Station
Upgrade the hydration game! Spice up the basics with a citrus-infused water station. Keep your guests cool and hydrated with a hint of zest to the experience. It’s simple, yet so chic.
7. Local Live Music
Nashville is flooded with incredible musical talent, both big and small. Bring the Tennessee vibe to your gathering with a local musician. Whether it’s a solo acoustic set or calming jazz, a little serenade is the perfect backdrop for outdoor entertaining in Nashville, Tennessee.
