Best day EVER!

From the first day I toured Belle Meade, I fell in love! The venue itself is so gorgeous--my husband and I (and the guests!) loved how much character it had, and moving around throughout the day gives you such a unique experience. Bringing in your own vendors with such a beautiful venue makes it so easy to create whatever you envision for your wedding day. Hannah was so kind, helpful, and responsive throughout the whole wedding planning process. We also loved that it had such a quiet and peaceful feel without being too far from the city! We would choose this venue again and again!!!

Best wedding venue

I can't say enough great things about our choosing Belle Meade as the wedding venue. It was honestly the best decision of the entire process since everything else flowed from that decision. I am from Louisville KY where horses are king and learning that most Derby winners can trace their roots to Belle Meade made me so happy that we ultimately we brought in that aspect to the decor. And most importantly the bride and groom and both families had a night together we will never forget. it all feels like a dream now. I so wish we could experience it all over again!

The wedding of my dreams

Tell me exceeded my expectations for what I wanted in my wedding to be. We got married April 18th and we had an awesome photographer, but every scene is straight out from a magazine. The lighting and scenery were so dreamy. Our ceremony started at 5:30 and our sendoff was at 9:30 and it turned out perfect. Our ceremony was in the gardens, we did a private footwashing on the porch of the mansion, and did bride and groom portraits with the horses in the background. Hannah was so sweet, helpful, and accommodating which is so crucial during planning and the day of (after was just cherry on top). Hannah was our main contact however everyone that was involved with the staff were hard-working and friendly. They do so many events and weddings every year, but they made me feel like I was their only client. I also had amazing coordinators with EBJ & Company who made the experience (feel) seamless - they know the ins and outs of the venue and work hand-in-hand with Hannah on her team. Highly recommend 10 out of 10!!!

Wedding at Belle Meade Historic Site

Hannah and her team were absolutely amazing to work with at Belle Meade Historic Site. From the very first time I met Hannah while touring wedding venues, I knew this was the place I wanted to get married—largely because of how wonderful she was.

We didn’t even have an official tour scheduled; we were just walking around on our own when Hannah happened to see us. She came over, introduced herself, and answered all of our questions, even though we didn’t have an appointment. I ended up booking the venue the very next day!

Throughout the entire planning process, Hannah was incredibly helpful. Her insight and experience were unmatched, and she guided us every step of the way. On the wedding day itself, Hannah and her team went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. She was there making sure every detail was taken care of and that our guests were comfortable. The day felt truly seamless thanks to her.

I also loved that Belle Meade allowed us to book our own vendors, so we were able to choose exactly who we wanted to work with. For everything that’s included, the venue is very reasonably priced—and having access to the entire property made it even more special.

I told my family multiple times throughout the night... we made the right decision picking this venue, it was absolutely beautiful. I can’t recommend Belle Meade Historic Site and Hannah’s team enough!

Loved this Venue!

The Belle Meade was incredible easy to work with. Hannah, the venue coordinator, was timely with her responses, and answered every question we had. We were able to come back to the venue to meet with vendors and you could even do a photoshoot on the property. The Belle Meade was also very accommodating and worked with us to ensure our day ran as smoothly as possible. The venue came with tables. cocktail tables, and chairs which allowed us to cut out an extra vendor. The ceremony space was absolutely stunning on its own, and is what sold the venue to us in the first place. Truly, you could show up with no florals or decor and it would still be perfect! There was a place for the bridesmaids to get dressed and for the bride to be tucked away while guests showed up, and the groom's quarters were a big hit among our wedding party and even guests! We had 0 issues with our vendors, the Belle Meade was extremely organized, and their preferred vendors (lighting/draping) have definitely done this before. Our day was perfect, and everyone had a fabulous time. My absolute favorite part of this venue were the unlimited photo opportunities that were all equally stunning, historic, and unique. Thank you, Belle Meade!

The Most Special, Historic Spot to Get Married in Nashville

We feel so lucky to have gotten married at Belle Meade Mansion — one of the most beautiful and meaningful venues in Nashville. The property is full of timeless charm and historic character, with gorgeous grounds and corners that feel both elegant and warm. There’s just something special about being surrounded by so much history while starting your own.

For the value, you won’t find a better space. It felt like we got a dream venue without the price tag that usually comes with a place this large/stunning.

The team was amazing throughout the planning process — so helpful and easy to work with. And Hannah, our venue planner, was an absolute gem. She was communicative, kind, and on top of every detail. She made the whole experience feel easy and supported, which is such a gift during wedding planning.

If you're looking for a place with beauty, heart, and history — Belle Meade is it. We couldn’t have imagined a better setting to begin our marriage.
