How to Build a Social & Professional Network After Relocating

Settling into the Luxury Lifestyle in Greater Nashville

Relocating to Greater Nashville isn’t just about finding the right home, it’s about finding your place in the community. For executives, entrepreneurs, and their families, building a strong social and professional network is the key to feeling at home quickly. In Franklin, Brentwood, and Nashville, those networks often form in private settings where business and lifestyle naturally blend: philanthropy, exclusive events, country clubs, and curated groups designed for connection.


Private Events & Philanthropy

In Middle Tennessee, giving back often doubles as networking. Galas and benefit events like the Nashville Symphony Gala, Dickens of a Christmas in Franklin, or the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital Ball attract leaders from across industries. Joining a committee or volunteering at these events provides a meaningful way to meet like-minded executives and their spouses while supporting causes that matter.


Country Clubs & Member-Only Spaces

Memberships at clubs such as the Governors Club in Brentwood, Richland Country Club in Nashville, or Harpeth Hills Country Club offer more than golf and tennis. From wine tastings to private dining rooms and curated social events, these spaces are ideal for forming relationships with peers who value exclusivity and refinement. Additionally, private social clubs like the Nashville City Club or the Tennessee Club provide sophisticated settings for business lunches, professional mixers, and cultural events.


Business Groups & Executive Circles

Greater Nashville has quickly become a hub for top-tier professionals. Groups such as the Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO Nashville), YPO (Young Presidents’ Organization), and C-Suite Networking Roundtables offer formal platforms for professional collaboration. For spouses, organizations like the Junior League of Nashville or philanthropic committees tied to hospitals, arts, and cultural organizations provide ways to connect and contribute simultaneously.


Lifestyle Networking

Not all connections are made in boardrooms or ballrooms. Luxury fitness studios like Studio Barre, private yoga at Brett’s Yoga Loft, or equestrian communities such as those in Brentwood or Franklin’s horse country offer organic opportunities to meet neighbors who share your passions. Seasonal events, from polo matches at Lawn Party at Belle Meade to wine tastings on the Harpeth River, create spaces where friendship and business connections form naturally.


For newcomers and long-time locals alike, networking in Greater Nashville is about more than business cards, it’s about weaving yourself into a community of leaders, philanthropists, and families who call this region home. Whether you’re relocating from across the country or simply looking to elevate your lifestyle, Greater Nashville offers the spaces, events, and opportunities to connect, engage, and thrive.
