NYE Party event. Upon arrival we were thrilled by the ambiance and the fact that the place was not over crowded at all. We had two tables indoors due to the potential for inclement weather; otherwise outdoors is a great choice. We had two tables for eight people at $400 per table; which only included a bottle of champagne each table. Prior to selecting the venue, we were very diligent investigating the entertainment; which was advertised as being blue grass: "Enjoy sweeping views of Nashville and bring in the New Year with dancing and a special performance by Boy Named Banjo to toast 2023!"
The band was great but played for 45minutes maximum; showed up at 11:15pm to play. Leading up to the band, there was a DJ who played the complete opposite type of music; terrible club music that was not remotely of interest to any age group that were in attendance. There were multiple requests for songs; to no avail. No one was dancing even though multiple attempts by our group and others to select music for dancing. The DJ completely ignored various parties that were lookin to have a great time. Another disappointment of the evening was the food...very salty and completely inappropriate for the ambiance of the event (plush couches, standing cocktail tables, elegant attire). A tapas type menu would have been more appropriate (rather than burgers, grits, pasta without serving utensils). We even had to serve ourselves Champagne "in the hallway" at midnight because they said not enough servers. A positive was the décor and fabulous views given the clear skies. We also loved our server. Unfortunately, the event coordinator clearly did not have the appropriate experience for planning this event. Again, views, ambiance, server, advertised band...absolutely fabulous. Disappointment: DJ music, length of band performance, FOOD, disorganization at the countdown.
