    Perfection!

    The whole day was perfect! The venue and team at Cherokee Dock are amazing. Kalyn Newport brought my vision to life and it was even better than I could have imagined. We never had to worry about a thing the whole day. I can’t recommend enough!!

    The Estate at Cherokee Dock's reply:

    Laney, we are so happy to have been a part of your wedding day. Thank you for sharing your positive experience. Congratulations again to you and Cory!

    Wedding Ceremony and Reception 8.23.2020

    Originally researched The Estate at Cherokee Dock for the elopement package but ended up loving the space so much and ability to spend the night on the wedding night was all so perfect! The lake was gorgeous and the staff were so personal with everything from start to finish. So thankful for everything! The venue speaks for itself and didn't need really any decorations! That was great for me since I'm not a big flower/decorations person! Our family and friends loved it and the venue had all the perfect recommendations for caterers, wedding planner, etc.

    Excellent venue for a perfect wedding !

    From the moment I saw the venue I knew it would be perfect. And it was. The garden wedding required no extra decoration. It was so beautiful. The accommodations were perfect and spending the night kept everyone safe - and kept the party going as we reminisced after the guests left. It made my daughters wedding extraordinary.

    Perfect wedding venue, perfect gathering venue, just amazing!

    Magical venue, wonderful staff, made us feel like we were truly at home for the Wednesday-Sunday we had the venue rented out for our wedding.

    Everything is stunning, the service is top notch, and we truly felt like rockstars having our friends and family spend the Thursday/Friday before our Saturday wedding with us at the Estate.

    Slept 26 on site very comfortably, and having everyone stay in once place without having to move around all weekend was more of a blessing than we could have imagined. You get so much more time when you are not constantly going to a new location for a dinner or photos or this event or that.

    Grounds made for STUNNING pictures. The pool/hottub/backyard were big hits during the nights prior to the wedding for us to hang out as family.

    Beds comfortable, movie theatre super fun, everything you could want in a stay. Can't wait for the next big life event where we can rent a weekend at Cherokee!

    The Estate at Cherokee Dock's reply:

    Jacob, thank you so much for leaving us a note! It was our pleasure hosting your family and friends and an honor to be a part of your wedding weekend. Congratulations again to you and Dorothy!

    Wonderful wedding experience

    Cannot recommend Cherokee enough! The whole team is so kind and helpful through the whole process. The property is breathtaking. You truly have an amazing blank canvas that you get to make completely your own for the whole weekend. Our experience at Cherokee Dock could not have been more magical!

    I highly recommend Estate at Cherokee Dock

    Beautiful setting. Kelly made my destination wedding worry free and beautiful. Riley took excellent pictures and I would recommend the Estate at Cherokee Dock for any couple wanting to marry in the Nashville area.

    Amazing, beautiful, and intimate

    Loved this venue! All the staff we encountered were friendly, professional, yet personable, and attentive to whatever we needed.
    The venue was clean and everything was ready when we arrived.
    Our ceremony was simple, yet classy and elegant, and intimate. Our guests enjoyed themselves and said it was a very different experience, wedding, dinner, and being able to stay overnight. That allowed them to get comfy and relax after dinner and enjoy all the amenities!!!
    I strongly encourage anyone looking for a wonderful wedding experience to contact The Estate at Cherokee Dock!!!

    Magical wedding weekend!

    We planned our pandemic wedding in less than 5 weeks. The folks at Cherokee Dock were amazing and very accommodating! My entire family of 25 enjoyed not only the wedding night but renting the mansion for the weekend for what we considered the best family reunion to date! The grounds are beautiful, the house is spotless, and the team thought of every detail. We rented the mansion for 2 nights, did the elopement package, and splurged on food for the event.

    Five stars plus venue

    This is the perfect wedding venue to enhance the "merging" of two families. The massive kitchen, living, dining room and awesome guest accommodations for up to 40 people engenders the interaction, socialization and bonding for total strangers to become one big "new family" in a very classy setting. The 8+ bedroom décor individually honoring famous music artists was beyond WOW factor. Theater, game room, full workout center, pool and spas gave everyone an opportunity to hang out and play despite the very cool temperatures and gray wintry skies...a real advantage to the "bonding" process that I don't believe would have occurred in any other season of the year. Venue managers, Kevin and Kelly, plus housekeeping and grounds staff were amazingly accommodating and responsive to our every question, need and want. We could not have asked for a staff more kind, courteous and focused on the success of our daughter's special wedding weekend. The total Estate campus with the Mansion and Carriage Houses, the 4,000 s.f. Lakeside Event Center boasting a full catering kitchen; the heated/cooled Stables for cocktail time, large and nicely appointed restroom facilities, parking, etc. made for smooth transitioning between different phases of the wedding event.
    Bottom line, we are far more pleased for the success and value that this venue provided than FIVE STARS can represent. Thanks to everyone at The Estate at Cherokee Dock for a truly memorable life event.

    The Estate at Cherokee Dock's reply:

    We are honored that your daughter chose us for her wedding venue! Your kind words mean so much to us, as we strive to make every wedding a truly unforgettably and unique experience. We extend our deepest gratitude and wish Morgan and Wade the very best! Thank you!!

    Best wedding venue in tennessee

    My husband and I had our wedding here on August 1, 2020, and it was absolutely amazing. More than amazing. It was the fairytale wedding of my dreams. We did a wedding weekend, so my grandparents, parents, and our entire bridal party were able to stay at the venue the entire weekend which made it really special. The staff at Cherokee Dock were awesome. We were able to call or email whenever we needed something, and Kelly and all of the staff were so knowledgeable about the venue and the wedding industry. They were super kind and flexible and helped with whatever we needed. They are definitely pros in the wedding industry! All my vendors also loved working with the Cherokee Dock staff.

    It rained on our wedding day, but The Estate at Cherokee Dock has a built-in rain plan that made the day so much less stressful. They also have so many beautiful ceremony spots, a great catering kitchen that all of our caterers loved. The pictures came out amazing, too! There were so many great photo spots like on the swing by the Cumberland River and on the dock! This weekend was the best weekend of my life and I could not recommend having your wedding at The Estate At Cherokee Dock more. Our family and guests have not stopped talking about how amazing this wedding was, many of them told us it the best wedding they have ever been to!

    Cherokee Dock is an open vendor venue, so we could have the wedding planners and vendors we wanted. This was extremely helpful for picking our bartender as there were no additional fees that had to do with alcohol like most venues.

    Seriously if you are thinking about having your wedding here, do!! You will absolutely love it!!!

    Woodie Wedding - 9/28/19

    There are not enough stars to rate this PERFECT & STUNNING Venue! The Directors, Kelly & Kevin, are AMAZING...so attentive & eager to please! Such a fabulous concept in having the venue for the entire weekend. We were able to have the rehearsal dinner, wedding, reception & Sunday Brunch all in one location, but each had their own “special feel” since their are so many options throughout the property to host different events. Another PLUS...The entire wedding party was able to stay on property with fabulous amenities and be together the entire weekend! Our guests could not quit RAVING! Thank you for giving our daughter and son-in-law the wedding of their dreams!!

    Kelly and Kevin at the Estate at Cherokee Dock were outstanding. They helped make our special day so beautiful and run very smoothly. They were both so kind and helpful with everything. I will definitely be spreading the word about this gem.

    Amazing venue!!!! Great people to work with!!

    I had my wedding Sept 14 and I had a great experience. I dealt with Kelly and Kevin and they were EXTREMELY helpful. They made me feel so calm about my wedding day, they were very accommodating, and went above and beyond to help with anything we had came our way. The dock is a beautiful beautiful place and I highly recommend it. Photo credit: @Asherandemilyphoto

    There aren’t enough stars to say how much we loved this place! We stayed at the Estate for 3 days last weekend when we got married and it was an experience for us AND our friends/family that we will remember forever! From the moment we visited this place we stopped our wedding venue hunt. We knew it was a special place. Unique and unlike any other place in Tennessee. (No hit on anyone but we aren’t barn wedding folks). Daniel and Aryn went above and beyond with every little detail already thought of for us. From the time of booking to the day of the wedding, they communicated with us well and were responsive to our questions in a timely manner. My wedding planner and all vendors I chose loved working with them. There was plenty of room for our wedding party of around 16 people to stay comfortably. And they loved the themed rooms (Cash, Dolly, Garth...). Guests were raving about the place during the wedding, and overnight guests said it was the best wedding experience they’ve ever been part of. We were thankful to have the tent already set up for us because there were a couple rain showers that had we not planned for could have put a real damper on the day. The grounds are flawlessly beautiful. And the lake view is spectacular. I would highly recommend booking your event here, it will be an event of a lifetime!

    The Estate at Cherokee Dock's reply:

    Thank you Trisha!! We were thrilled to host you and your loved ones and cannot wait to see where life takes the two of you :) --Aryn & Daniel

    Absolutely Fabulous

    Cherokee Dock was fantastic. The venue itself is incredible, and they work with you to make sure you are getting the full use of the space and getting exactly what you want for your day. With multiple last minute changes due to COVID, Cherokee Dock was patient, accommodating, and so helpful. I cannot recommend this place enough. We had a Sunday wedding and stayed the night on the property. If the date had been available, we would have booked the venue for the entire weekend and had our family and bridal party stay on property. If you can find an available date, I highly recommend doing that - it would have been awesome.

    Amazing Fairytale Wedding

    We had an amazing Fairytale wedding at The Estate at Cherokee Dock! Our wedding planner Dawn and the venue worked seamlessly together and made my day amazing!! They pulled out all the stops and went above an beyond my dreams. The venue was breathtaking and so amazing to have our whole family stay on site for the weekend and blend my husband’s family and my own. It was an incredible weekend! Would definitely recommend this as a wedding venue. I was treated like a queen and had the most memorable weekend ever!
