When 70 inspired professionals gathered for a recent educational event, they didn’t just leave with full notebooks—they left with full bellies, stronger connections, and a renewed focus on building their referral network. Legacy Farms was the perfect corporate event venue in Tennessee for hosting this energizing Lunch and Learn!
Our planners designed the entire event from cocktail hour to dessert. The event kicked off with a networking hour. We kept these business professionals entertained with a fun paint-by-number activity, mocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and headshots by Jordan Roepke Photography. Legacy Farms’ patio area, located both covered and adjacent to the event center, is perfect for a cocktail hour.
Our Speaker: Shannon Tarrant
After cocktail hour, we transitioned to our keynote speaker, Shannon Tarrant, with a no-fluff session titled: Make a Better Impression: 10 Real Reasons Why No One Refers You. It was a refreshing deep dive into why great service alone isn’t always enough to drive consistent referrals—and what business owners can do to change that. Attendees walked away with actionable insights on:
- Identifying weak points in their client experience
- Cultivating win-win professional relationships
- Keeping the referral funnel flowing year-round
The Menu: Nashville Event Catering
During the talk, we enjoyed a delicious meal by our catering partner, A Catered Affair. A Catered Affair is Nashville’s leading full-service catering company, dedicated to crafting remarkable experiences that leave a lasting impact. A Catered Affair provided a Power Bowl Station, featuring lemon-garlic roasted chicken, parmesan Brussels sprouts, and a summery chickpea salad. It was beyond flavorful.
In addition, they provided Grilled Porcini Beef and Potatoes Bravas, which were anything but average. And don’t even get us started on the adorable Caesar Salad-tinis—because salad hits different displayed in a martini glass.
The stunning grounds and charming atmosphere of Legacy Farms were the perfect backdrop for it all. As the host venue, Legacy brought a warm, welcoming feel that encouraged connection and creativity, showing once again why it’s a go-to space for meaningful, memorable events.
