Riverbend Ranch and Retreat

Riverbend Ranch & Retreat is a wedding venue on a private 180-acre ranch in Normandy, Tennessee, one hour from Nashville and one hour from Franklin. The ranch has a lake, three ponds, over a mile of Duck River frontage, and a climate-controlled white barn for up to 200 guests. Horses and cattle graze in the distance. Virtual Outdoor Tour - https://kuula.co/share/collection/7K22X?logo=0&info=0&fs=1&vr=1&sd=1&initload=0&thumbs=1 THE WEDDING WEEKEND Our signature package gives you the whole ranch, privately, for the entire weekend. Friday brings the rehearsal and a bonfire by the river. Saturday is the wedding, with ceremony sites on the lake or on the river and the reception in the barn. Sunday is a farewell brunch and time on the river before everyone heads home. Five houses and two cabins on the property sleep 65 of your guests, so your family and wedding party stay steps from the ceremony. Wedding Weekends run $12,500 to $15,000 by season, with lodging included. Also included: a dedicated day-of coordinator, full setup and teardown, linens, tables, chairs, whiskey barrels and outdoor lighting, and a fireworks walkout to close the night. OTHER WAYS TO CELEBRATE The Gathering is a single-day wedding (Friday, Saturday or Sunday) with the barn, bride's cabin, groom's space, tables and chairs, and a day-of coordinator, from $6,000. Weekday weddings (Monday to Thursday) start at $3,000. Our spaces are a blank canvas for rustic, elegant or anything in between. Darren, our founder, personally hosts every wedding and works directly with your planner and vendors. Riverbend is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Every wedding funds no-cost retreats for pastors and ministry leaders.
