The Estate at Cherokee Dock is located on some of the region’s most beautiful property!
The lakefront estate is most widely recognized as the former home of country legend Reba McEntire, but today, it is enjoying a new life as a beautiful setting for weddings, rehearsal dinners, receptions, engagement parties and showers.
Any luxurious event you can imagine, The Estate can accommodate with its botanical gardens, lakefront landscaping, lush bridal suite, large grooms quarters and much more!
Perfection! The entire team made the day seamless, we never had to worry about a thing. Kalyn Newport made my vision come to life and it was even better than I imagined. She took care of everything and we had the absolute best day. I could not recommend more or speak more highly of this venue and it’s staff! Reviewed on 26-10-2023
Jacob Hollabaugh(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-10-2021 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! Reviewed on 19-12-2021
Makaila Haase(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-11-2020 The Estate at Cherokee Dock was the perfect venue for our wedding! As a Covid couple - and the first on schedule when the pandemic first hit - they went above and beyond to allow us to still get married! We were able to elope on property in April (in accordance with CDC guidelines) and then reschedule our celebration to November to properly celebrate with more of our friends & family. The venue was absolutely stunning, the venue managers were amazing to work with, and it was the perfect way to savor our wedding by staying on property with our family & bridal party. Would highly recommend! Reviewed on 22-02-2021
Jordan Grubbs(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-08-2020 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!!! Reviewed on 16-09-2020
Ansley Page(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-06-2019 The Estate at Cherokee Dock was the absolute dream come true wedding venue. We started a bit rocky with some structures that were said to be done at a certain time, but were not completed or would not be completed in time for our wedding, but besides that, the staff were extremely accommodating and receptive to all our crazy ideas. Even when they told us the structure wouldn't be ready in time, the staff at ECD were able to make adjustments to make our wedding picture perfect. I would highly recommend all brides to consider this as a place for their wedding. It was a once in a lifetime, absolutely gorgeous, event. Reviewed on 02-07-2019
Ed Miller(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-11-2018 The Estate at Cherokee Dock was the perfect location for our wedding. Even though our total wedding cost was about the same as it would have been at a typical Nashville wedding venue, the quality and ambiance of our day far exceeded what we could have achieved elsewhere. The grounds, mansion, pool, and stable are spectacular, and the large outdoor tent provided a great area for a semi-outdoor reception. We rented the mansion overnight to go along with our wedding, and I highly recommend doing so if you can. Daniel and Aryn were great to work with and very helpful all along the way!

Elizabeth Wright(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-11-2018 The Estate at Cherokee Dock has it ALL! I am an event planner, and it checks every single box for aesthetics and functionality. The moment the gates open, you experience the WOW factor. There are multiple ceremony locations, multiple cocktail locations, and multiple reception options-and they are ALL stunning! However, it can function for events far beyond weddings! Family reunions, class reunions, music videos, workshops, weddings…you name it-the possibilities are endless. The Nashville area has never had a high-end property like this. They are raising the bar with this venue! The bridal suite, the groom’s quarters, the pool, the lakeside, the trees, the house… everything is perfect. I never feel cramped or confined during events here. It’s the quintessential Southern property for any event. I LOVE this venue and what they have done with it. Did I mention they are building a new structure for receptions that will be spectacular? The property has plenty of parking, amazing security, a huge catering kitchen, spacious load in/load out options for vendors and their bathrooms are even top notch! This property is meticulously well maintained. The Venue Directors, Daniel and Aryn are hands down the best team to work with. Both really understand what it takes to make events run smoothly. They are well-informed and are knowledgeable about the property, the options, and the industry. They are quick to respond and want to make sure you have the best experience possible. With this property, you get an experience instead of just a venue. If you are searching for a venue-this is everything you are looking for and more! Reviewed on 13-11-2018
