The Hermitage, Home of President Andrew Jackson

We got married there this past April! Kelli our coordinator and all her staff were on top of everything. I can’t thank them enough for doing such an amazing job from start to finish. Because of them all my Alice in Wonderland wedding dreams came true! We had such a wonderful time and all the vendors they recommended especially Two Fat Men Catering were fantastic!!! Thank you ladies for all that you do! The property is fabulous and our reception in Cabin by the Spring was beautiful. Xxo Elizabeth M.

We can’t thank Erica and her team enough for a more spectacular day! I would recommend the Hermitage for anyone looking for a fun historical venue. Erica and her team truly made my blush and gold wedding dreams come true! They were always a phone call/email away all throughout the planning process. They took all our questions and concerns seriously, and were always able to give us an answer in a timely manner. The wedding day went flawlessly, and we truly are so grateful!

As a bride, I HIGHLY encourage getting your own personal wedding coordinator if you choose this venue. The morning of my wedding, I received multiple phone calls and texts on my cell phone from the caterer, the florist, the bakery, and the person who was delivering us lunch. They were unable to get a hold of the coordinator and needed to know where to go. They also were not able to find her once getting to the venue for when they had questions. I was finally able to get a hold of the coordinator who told me she dropped her phone in the grass. Added stress while you’re getting ready that could be prevented. She also did not hand out the corsages or boutonnières to the parents, grandparents, ring bearer, flower girls, or officiant. My mom found them in the kitchen AFTER the ceremony. There was supposed to be several employees I was told, that would be standing up front showing people where to go for the wedding. There was also supposed to be golf carts used as shuttles to assist guests to the cabin. I personally saw 6 people wandering through the area where I was getting ready. Not only did they see the bride before the ceremony but I also had to send a bridesmaid to direct them to the correct area. There was also supposed to be golf carts used as shuttles to assist guests to the cabin. There were no golf carts accessible to shuttle people. I had several elderly people who cannot walk very well who needed assistance. After not being able to get a golf cart, my brother had to personally drive my grandmother down the security lane so she could make it the ceremony. We also could not get a golf cart for me and my bridesmaids. My cousin went on a search and finally was able to get ONE golf cart (after 45 minutes of searching) to assist the bride and 3 bridesmaids as that is all that could fit. The remainder walked in heels. She also did not turn the heat on in the venue in December so several people left before we got to see them because they had children or elders with them. It was 50 degrees in the venue when the groom and I entered. The groom was the one who had to turn the heat on. No one could locate the coornidtaor during the wedding reception so all vendors continued to come to me. The list goes on....as the venue itself was gorgeous, I would not blink an eye at this location for your biggest day unless you plan to hire your own personal coordinator who can make sure everything goes as planned.

The Hermitage was an amazing place for my clients to have their wedding/reception!!! We worked with Emily who was so fun and easy to work with. The staff was there to help in anyway possible throughout the event. The grounds are amazing, well kept, and gorgeous for any event! We would love to work with the Hermitage and their staff again some day in the future! :)
