About

Orion Hill Weddings and Events is a gorgeous wedding venue in Arlington, Tennessee. Set on 20 acres in the countryside, this historic 10,000-square-foot estate offers a number of fabulous spaces for your festivities.

Facilities and Capacity

Dating back to the 1830s, this mansion is enveloped in beautiful, lush greenery and offers a tranquil escape. Close to Memphis, it is a convenient location for a wedding. The stunning interior, lovely lawn, and the lakes nearby are all fantastic for celebrating this joyous occasion and taking great wedding photos. Orion Hill Weddings and Events is a superb choice, whether you're hosting a traditional wedding reception, a rehearsal dinner, or enjoying a small gathering with your favorite people. Accommodating up to 300 guests, the property also has a secure parking space on-site that can be used. Alexander Donelson built this property as a replica of the Hermitage, and generations of his family lived here. The building burned down in the 1920s and was later sold. Dr. and Mrs. Lester Graves bought the estate and built a lovely Greek revival home in the 90s. Later, in 2018, Cathy and Don Wilson purchased the property and turned it into an event and wedding venue, wanting to share its story and preserve its heritage.

Services Offered

Cathy and Don will help you create a custom wedding celebration you and your guests will always remember. Orion Hill Weddings and Events has a wedding package that includes all-day access to the home and grounds, chairs and tables, and a rehearsal walkthrough. This is an excellent option for you and your other half to begin a new and exciting chapter.

Seriously perfect

This venue is perfect in every aspect: a never ending possibility of photo spots, the ability to be indoor or outdoor which is perfect for Memphis weather, a responsive team who has suggestions for you once you book them and also is there for you for any questions you come up with during the process, they allow multiple walk throughs, and is perfect for small and large weddings.

Beautiful Venue! Owners are so easy to work with!

Orion Hill was the perfect choice for my daughter's wedding! It is relatively new, but they are booking up so fast!! There are good reasons for this! Not only is the venue absolutely beautiful (It sells itself!), but Shelby is wonderful to work with! She helped make my daughter's wedding experience so special. She knows all the vendors around as she worked in the industry prior to opening this venue. She is so helpful and always willing to give her opinion or advice with anything connected to the wedding (not just her venue). You can tell she loves people and loves what she does! You could not ask for better people to work with! This venue has every little detail that you would want and so many that you would never think of! Do yourself a favor... at least go look at the place! Words can't do it justice!! You will fall in love with it and them!! I can't recommend this venue enough!!!! This venue would be great for more than just weddings as well!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
