About

Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage, home of the People’s President, is a national historic landmark and event venue located 10 miles east of downtown Nashville. The 1120-acre Hermitage property features four beautiful and unique event spaces--Hermitage English Garden, Historic Hermitage Church, Cabin by the Spring, and Tulip Grove Mansion.


Facilities and Capacity
Couples can exchange vows in an indoor or outdoor ceremony and accommodate up to 500 guests at our rustic estate. Venues include:

  • Cabin by the Spring - Features three spacious rooms, each with a limestone fireplace and doorway that leads to a covered brick terrace. The terrace overlooks a lovely wooded glen near the Jackson family's original stone spring house. Hold your ceremony under the sweeping branches of the "wedding tree", a towering beech tree just steps from the venue. The venue features a catering kitchen, private restrooms, and is heated and air-conditioned.
  • Tulip Grove Mansion - Noted as one of Tennessee's most elegant Greek Revival mansions, Tulip Grove affords the perfect setting for your ceremony and reception. Constructed in 1836 as the home of Andrew Jackson Donelson and his wife, Emily. Tulip Grove features stunning architecture, lush grounds, and a beautiful boxwood walk. The spacious front and side lawns offer plenty of room for both ceremonies and receptions. Tulip Grove is an outdoor venue only.
  • The English Garden - A lovely traditional four-square English garden consisting of four quadrants and circular center beds. The garden features perennial flowers, herbs, blooming vines, shrubs, and fruit trees. Our historic gardening staff work year-round to make sure there are abundant flowers and foliage from Spring through Fall. The two front garden quadrants are perfect for wedding ceremonies or receptions. Once the sun sets, the nearby Hermitage mansion is lit against the night sky.
  • The Hermitage Church - Built in 1823 by Andrew Jackson as a gift to his wife and the surrounding community. This quaint brick structure offers lovely pew seating and a simple, intimate setting to exchange vows. It accommodates 140 seated guests. The building is heated, but not air-conditioned and is recommended for Spring, Winter, and Fall weddings.


Services Offered
Each venue rental includes the use of our bridal suite in the Andrew Jackson center, a two-hour engagaement or bridal photography session on our grounds (photographer not included), plentiful parking, and a one-hour rehearsal.

A Planner and Venue you want to work with!

I am a DJ in the Nashville area and I had the pleasure of working with Emily Dolch at the Hermitage for a wedding. Emily was extremely communicative, friendly, and overall, just an easy and enjoyable person to work with! Everything was planned thoroughly and we were able execute everything perfectly. By the end of the night, the bride and groom were raving about how much they enjoyed their special day, which wouldn't have been possible with Emily and the amazing staff at the Hermitage. Plus, this venue is absolutely gorgeous! I would highly recommend if you are looking for a team and venue, they will make your special day as memorable as possible!

Intimate Ceremony This Year - Big Party Next Year!

Getting married at The Hermitage was an absolute DREAM! While we had to forego our big party this year due to COIVD, Emily and the entire events team was so accommodating in helping us pivot to an intimate ceremony with only our parents. We can't wait to be back there celebrating our one year anniversary with all our friends and family. If you're looking for a gorgeous venue with historical ties and an exceptional event planning team, this is the place for you!

Incredible, Stunning, Dream Wedding

Not only is the venue incredible, but the wedding planner, Emily, kept our wedding and reception running smoothly and brought calm expertise to our wedding day. All staff were above and beyond any expectation as they allowed us to access the wedding venue VERY early in the morning to be prepared for our 10 AM wedding. We cannot recommend this venue enough, you will not be disappointed with the quality of the venues or the attention to detail the entire Hermitage staff provide for your special day!

Andrew Jackson's Hermitage is Southern Elegance at it's best! The staff at The Hermitage tends to every aspect of the bride and groom's needs and wishes with the kindness, hospitality and charm that you would expect from such a grand Historic Home. The Hermitage just begs for weddings to be held there....such love, beauty of the grounds, and happiness flows from every part of the property. From a fellow vendor standpoint, I would rate The Hermitage with a 5* in every area!
