The Pink Palace Mansion & Museum occupies the unfinished dream home of Clarence Saunders, founder of the Piggly Wiggly grocery chain, whose distinctive pink marble facade gave the building its enduring nickname. After Saunders lost the property to bankruptcy, the mansion was given to the city of Memphis in the late 1920s and has since grown into a museum of Memphis and Mid-South history, with a multi-story expansion added in 1975 that introduced a Giant Screen Theater and planetarium alongside the original building. That mix of formal historic rooms and modern museum spaces gives the venue an unusually wide range for private events, from the elegant Mansion and its Ballroom to the Mezzanine, Giant Screen Theater, AutoZone Planetarium, and Deep End Theater. Weddings, corporate events, private screenings, galas, and educational gatherings are all hosted on-site, with options suited to intimate parties as well as large celebrations, and a full facility buyout available for the biggest events. Every rental comes with support from a dedicated Special Events Coordinator, along with tables and chairs, use of the on-site catering kitchens, and free on-site parking. Renting the Mansion also includes two private getting-ready suites, one on each side of the building, for wedding parties preparing before the event.

Hachland Hill is a family-run bed & breakfast, dining inn, and retreat center set on 80 acres of wooded hills in Joelton, just outside Nashville and about 25 minutes from the airport. The property has operated since 1955, and its grounds carry a long history: the land was once home to Cherokee and Chickasaw communities drawn to its spring-fed waters and abundant wildlife, and in the early 1700s it became known as "Paradise Hills" after two French brothers named Paradise settled the area. Crystal springs still run through the property today, alongside sassafras, maple trees, and wild turkeys, deer, and foxes. The retreat center hosts overnight stays, family reunions, business retreats, weddings, and banquets across several gathering spaces, including the Main Lodge, Spring Creek, and the more-than-100-year-old Tobacco Barn.
