Riverwood Mansion

s so sad. We ended up using the rain plan and having the ceremony inside! It turned out way better than I could have ever imagined! I worked with Landry and she was the best at answering all of my questions and helping me plan everything. The all inclusive aspect of the venue was such an amazing part because I was in such a busy season of life. I truly am so thankful for the staff and the venue for making wedding planning so easy and for making our wedding day the most beautiful & fun day of my life!!

put your personal stamp on, or interact well with their staff. Immediately I noticed a difference with Riverwood. They were genuinely excited to host our wedding and in helping make it our own. I know they host many weddings, but we never felt like another number. They remembered even the smallest details about my wedding that I had forgotten myself. With all of their amazing communication/responsiveness and organized meetings, they felt like family by the time of the wedding. They took care of us like family. Joyce and Morgan were always nearby to get us anything that we could possibly want on the day of. All other staff were equally amazing. My family and friends from all over the country were shocked how perfect each detail was, from the staff coordinating each wedding day task and decoration, to the delicious and warm food, to the perfectly mixed cocktails. They genuinely felt excited to be in such a stunning, historic space and cannot stop talking about it! Not only that, but my family was off the hook for set up and tear down-type tasks and could genuinely enjoy each moment of my wedding alongside me. These are memories I will always have, thanks to Riverwood! We can't wait to visit again and already miss working with them. The best day of our lives hands down.

Especially during this pandemic time, I wasn't worried about vendors canceling on me or over-stressing on planning a destination wedding. The venue itself is beautiful and classic, and all the vendors were phenomenal to work with! Also, I couldn't have been more thankful for the Riverwood staff because right as the ceremony started, it started pouring down rain. Riverwood staff quickly jumped into action and streamlined everything into my backup ceremony venue! All my guests complimented how wonderful the staff was, how beautiful the venue was, how excellent the food was, and overall everyone, especially me, loved the experience! They have a great wedding planning team, helped me stay within my budget, and helped create the wedding of my dreams! If you are open to a destination wedding or live in the area, you cannot go wrong with choosing Riverwood!

mily and friends couldn’t stop talking about how great they both were throughout the whole day. Having a rain plan is a huge plus, it ended up storming on our wedding weekend and we made the call to move our ceremony inside the parlors of the mansion. Morgan made sure that the ceremony space was gorgeous and we were so happy with our decision! Chef Eric’s food was incredible and we’ve gotten so many compliments on our dinner and cake. Cora and Morgan helped with our planning and I truly do not think I could have planned a wedding without them. They made everything so easy and were so quick to answer all of my questions (and reassure me that things would work out when I got nervous)! Overall, our day was perfect. Riverwood is the best venue and has the best team around!

was a delicious meal and original appetizers, beautiful floral, wonderful music, and special features throughout the evening. Ms. Joyce kept up on time for the ceremony and Landry made sure everything ran smoothly. She made an extra effort to help us pull off an epic Father of the bride speech that our family and friends and still talking about. Many of our guests also commented on the beautiful venue and how personal they felt the ceremony was. Multiple guest said it was the most fun they have ever had at a wedding. I feel Riverwood help make our daughter’s wedding a reflection of their style and personality. I couldn’t imagine having another group of people to work with on such an important night. We will be talking about this special night for a long time. Thank your Riverwood Mansion!!

y all of the way from our first meeting up through the end of our event. She took all of our craziness in stride and we had a fantastic time planning everything with her. They say nobody ever remembers the wedding food, but two weeks later and we are all still talking about the plates Chef Eric was able to whip up for our guests and us. The Riverwood team went above and beyond in every aspect, and made sure that our day was perfect. You'd be hard pressed to find a better wedding venue than Riverwood Mansion. To say our day was perfection would be an understatement.

was perfect for us! It enabled us to save time, money, and stress cause they made the WHOLE thing easy! 10/10 recommend them!

t in every detail. I didn’t have to worry about a thing and just enjoyed the wedding! Upon meeting our wedding day coordinator, Joyce, I realized she had everything well in hand and would make sure all went according to plan! Her experience and love of weddings put us immediately at ease. The vendors they recommend are truly top notch and Caprice with Enchanted Florist created an enchanted storybook wedding and reception. Everyone was raving about the flowers! The musicians provided beautiful music for the ceremony and were exactly what we had hoped for. The food was absolutely delicious. Within walking in the reception, at least four people immediately told me the food was amazing and that continued throughout the evening. You couldn’t find a more beautiful setting for your special day! Thank you so much for making our big day so special and one that we could enjoy and remember forever!!

could have been a recipe for disaster! The planning you did ahead of time and the great communication with both of us really worked and a gorgeous wedding with wonderful food, beautiful flowers and an orchestrated event was enjoyed by us and our guests! Thank you is not enough! But we are extremely thankful to both of you and the fabulous staff for such a fine day! Our hearty applause to all of you! Encore!

photos and didn’t see the venue until two days prior. So happy to say the place looks just like the photos! It was decorated for Christmas which was stunning! I also couldn’t get over all of the gorgeous chandeliers. The venue was absolutely perfect for our intimate wedding.

lanning meetings and follow up to the day of, it was the perfect day! What sets this venue apart is the space of the venue. Our guests could roam the gardens, the beautiful, spacious rooms inside the mansion, enjoy a walk around the grounds, or chat amongst family and friends in the tented area. We've received many comments from guests how comfortable and safe they felt during the entire event and we are so glad we found this beautiful hidden gem that is tucked away in our very own neighborhood. Thank you to the incredible staff for the wedding of our dreams (even during a pandemic)!

Landry & Joyce who made sure every detail was in place so that we could enjoy the day. Our guests had a great time, but most important, the bride and groom were extremely happy with everything!

n begin to express how much fun was had by both of our families on the big day bc of the seamless nature of the event. That takes a team that knows what they are doing. We had a blast and so did all of our guests. Additionally, the pictures we have seen so far are phenomenal. I want to mention that our wedding was in September and yes it is hot in Nashville in September but they made sure to give us the option to have AC in the beautiful reception tent attached to the mansion- I wanted to mention it due to the fact another review made it sound as if in warmer months you shouldn't book this venue. That's not the case at all. Don't miss out on this amazing venue! You will not regret it. 10/10 would recommend!

professional and kind. Jacey (coordinator) and Joyce (wedding director) are God’s gifts to earth. They are so genuine and always know what you need before you even know. Their primary concerns are the bride and groom and they are there for you every step of the way. When I was searching for wedding venues like a maniac, I found that there weren’t many honest reviews about price. I know budget is incredibly important to most brides, so I’ll do my best to break down the costs. I picked the Grand Celebration package, which includes 8.5 hours, food, DJ, cake, décor, bar staff, directors, etc. The package is for a guest count of 125 people and is roughly $27,000. It’s $80 per person after that. This package does not include alcohol. I saved thousands of dollars on alcohol by throwing a “Stock the Bar” party/engagement party where guests brought a bottle of liquor for the wedding (I did Tito’s vodka, Tanqueray gin, Jack Daniel’s whiskey, or Captain Morgan rum). The food was AMAZING. You don't get to have a tasting before, but just trust the chef. It was so good and many guests brought up how much they liked it as we were making "our rounds". I can tell you that 8.5 HOURS IS NOT ENOUGH TIME TO ENJOY YOUR WEDDING. You can pay $1000 dollars for an extra hour. The day flies by, this is a must. We didn’t do a first look, so we took pictures during cocktail hour. If you have a cocktail hour, you must purchase hor d'oeuvres from the venue (they mandate that there is food when there is alcohol). We had a guest count of 200, so our final bill from Riverwood (with any upgrades and additions) came to $42,000. When considering budget, the small things really add up. Think about the dress, invitations, photographer, hair and makeup, save the dates, jewelry, bridesmaids gifts, transportation, guestbook, etc. Long story short…if the above price fits your budget and you want to get married in a beautiful mansion in Nashville, I would highly recommend Riverwood.

wedding at riverwood was the best they had ever attended. Our wedding planner, Jacey, and our ceremony director, Joyce, were on point. Everything went off without a hitch! If I had to do it again I would not change a thing. Thank you riverwood mansion!

t!

unds are absolutely gorgeous and such beautiful backdrops to my pictures. If you want a Nashville wedding, I highly recommend them. The cost may be a little bit more than you want BUT trust me it’s worth it!

ven provided the flowers and cake. We would definitely recommend Riverwood Mansion to anyone looking to elope in Nashville!

ran smoothly. Our guests had an amazing time and I would not have changed anything!

tart to finish Riverwood was there every step of the way making our wedding so special. They were there to capture every detail and worked to make the wedding even better than we could have imagined. We highly recommend to anyone and everyone to book Riverwood!!! Thank you again for everything you did!

rt to finish. When you purchase your wedding package it includes use of rooms for getting ready, floral, food, cake, linens, china, and the list goes on. We felt so taken care of every step of the way as they have done lots of weddings and are always willing to help you put your unique touch on yours. The day of our wedding this team went out of their way to make sure that we had everything we needed. I can't say enough good things about this stunning venue and the people who support it.

and she exactly the kind of person you want handling your big day. I don't know how everyone there knew exactly how to anticipate my needs so precisely, but the staff was incredible. For example, we ran out of time with the photographers, but Kimberly took us to a beautiful location behind the mansion because she knew I didn't want guests to see me before the ceremony and we were able to continue with the photos until the ceremony. I'm also convinced she can create extra time because she gave me a water break, relax/prayer time, and let me see the completed reception site all before I walked down the aisle. Also, when by bridal bouquet was forgotten at the house she got it all taken care of without letting me freak out. When I was informed that my handwritten wedding vows had been misplaced, she calmed me down instantly, told me how special I was, and made me feel so loved by lighting all of the candles in the mansion. In sum, there are few people in this world this exceptional. These are only a few examples of the extreme hospitality and love I was shown by this staff. I will be forever grateful for all of the ways Riverwood made my dream a reality. I have dreamed of getting married at Riverwood since I was 12 years old. It is a magical place that is visually captivating and has an atmosphere that is essential for a wondrous wedding. This place has it all- The beautiful venue, the assurance of knowing your day will go without a hitch, and a staff that is out of this world. If you are on the fence about choosing Riverwood, just leap because you will not regret it. They are more than worth every penny. If you are far away, make the drive. If they don't have your date available, pick a new one. I LOVE RIVERWOOD! -Lauren Horton

ed the Florist, musician, DJ and catering vendors. A huge amount of time was saved with Riverwood providing the vendors and we were not disappointed. The staff was wonderful making sure all was taken care and that all our needs were met. My only wish would have been more time spent at the reception. There was not enough time to visit with all our guest. I recommend the time for the reception be a full 3 hrs for the price of the package. Lots of compliments from our guest of how beautiful Riverwood Mansion was. Thank you so much for making my daughters wedding such a memorable occasion!!! Note to future brides: Riverwood has a strict rules so please read the contract carefully before signing!
