7 Unique Nashville Entertainment Ideas for Corporate Events That Go Beyond the Band

When planning a corporate event in Nashville, live music is a given. This city is famous for its bands, singer-songwriters, and honky-tonk vibes… but what else? There’s more to Music City than just its music! Talent is flowing everywhere, and your event can showcase so much more than a stage and a mic.

That’s where we come in. At Goodness Gracious Creative, we are Nashville natives and we specialize in cirque-style performers and immersive entertainment that brings the wow factor far beyond the stage! Our acts complement Nashville’s authentic aesthetic while adding creative, interactive elements — from greeting guests to strolling the venue to performing honky-tonk-inspired tricks that surprise and delight.

Here are seven unique Nashville entertainment ideas that will have your guests talking long after the last song ends:

1. Cowboy & Cowgirl Stilt Walkers

The ultimate way to make a big first impression! Our cowboy and cowgirl stilt walkers are a Nashville favorite, greeting guests with larger-than-life energy.

Choose between:

  • Classic Country Style: Perfect for authentic Nashville vibes.

  • Glam Western Style: Rhinestones, fringe, and extra sparkle for a little Music City pizzazz!

They’re ideal for corporate parties, trade shows, product launches, or any event that calls for a bold, photo-worthy entrance or to even parade guests to another location.
