Meet Our Pick Awards Entertainment & Sponsors

We are looking forward to a fun-filled evening of celebration as we welcome Memphis hospitality professionals to Beale Street Landing for the 2024 Pick Awards. During the party, Welcome to Memphis will recognize a Pick Award winner and runner-up in four categories: restaurants, attractions, hotels, and hosts. Two special annual awards are given for outstanding service: the Michelle Land Award and the Mary Schmitz Leadership Award. Guests will enjoy live music, delicious food, delightful beverages, and so much more! 

The evening would not be possible without our wonderful partners. Please meet the talented entertainment, caterers, sponsors, and more for this year’s Pick Awards:

Located at Main and Beale, the Downtown Memphis Mobility Center includes approximately 1400 parking spaces, a bike commuter station, and commercial space. As a transportation sponsor for the Pick Awards, the center is offering FREE parking for the event!

Another of our incredible transportation sponsors, Backbeat Tours offers amazing excursions that showcase Memphis history through music, story, and fun. Guests will get a taste of Backbeat’s quirky style as they shuttle to Beale Street Landing for free. 

Pick Awards guests will jam to the joyful sounds of The Lucky 7 Brass Band, a Memphis powerhouse that brings the party to every stage they grace. 

Imagine all of your favorite foods, made with an edgy twist, and you’ve got Hungry AF Eats & Catering! We can’t wait to see the spread for this year’s awards party. Guests should save room for dessert, as local gelateria Zio Matto Gelato is bringing a special after-dinner treat just for us. 

Our guest emcee will be none other than Miss Tennessee 2024 Carly Vogel. A student at Middle Tennessee State University, Carly is the 71st woman to wear the crown.

Candy Bar Bartending will provide its signature cocktail and beverage experience to attendees. Candy Bar is known for its use of fresh ingredients and premium spirits, as well as an elegant bar set up. This year, we will serve two Spirit of Memphis winners – a cocktail and a mocktail. A special thank you goes out to our beverage sponsors, Hampline Brewing and Old Dominick Distillery.

This year, our award winners are in for a special treat! The Metal Museum is crafting customized trophies for the winners and awards for the runners-up. We are thrilled to partner with the Metal Museum to give Pick Award winners something so meaningful. 

Last but certainly not least, Selfie Memphis will be on hand for photobooth fun! Known for delivering high-quality, professional footage and photos, Selfie Memphis is sure to keep guests entertained. 
We are grateful for all of our partners. With a team like this, the 2024 Pick Awards Party is an event you don’t want to miss!
