Beautiful Fall Wedding Venue

We decided to get married at Ravenswood as it allows for you to bring in all the vendors you want into the space and create your own personalized vision! We got married on the front lawn with a sailcloth tented reception in the back and it was the PERFECT venue for us or anyone looking to do a tented wedding. They provide electrical, catering kitchen, parking, bathrooms, getting ready suites, plenty of rentals for a great price! Kesha is such a great point of contact at Ravenswood, immediately answering any and all questions we had along the way. We wanted a venue that felt like a good representation of the beautiful Tennessee hills for most of our guests that were from out of town while still being central to town so it would be easy for transportation and they absolutely loved it, we got the most beautiful Fall weather too! We would get married here in a heartbeat if we were to do it all again!

We love Ravenswood!

Ravenswood Mansion was an absolute dream for our wedding! We wanted a venue that was close enough to Nashville for peace of mind, and Ravenswood was perfect. We knew that choosing a location farther out could make transportation tricky, especially with Ubers, and we didn’t want any of our guests to feel pressured to drive. There were plenty of hotels nearby for our out-of-town guests, many of whom stayed in Cool Springs or Maryland Farms, so the location worked out perfectly for everyone.

Beyond the practicality, the venue itself is absolutely stunning. We loved having photos with both the mansion and the grounds in the background—it felt timeless and romantic. The spaces inside were ideal for getting ready, especially the bridal suite! I had a fairly large bridal party, and there was plenty of room (and outlets!) for everyone to get ready comfortably together.

Another huge plus was all of the included rentals. We were able to use Ravenswood’s chairs, tables, and their beautiful wooden cross, which saved us both time and money. We supplemented with a few additional rentals, but having so much provided on-site was incredibly convenient.

The staff was also wonderful to work with. Kesha was so responsive, kind, and offered great insight throughout the process.

Leading up to the wedding, I was a little nervous about the possibility of rain (thankfully, it didn’t!), since that would have meant renting an additional tent for the ceremony. But everything came together perfectly—we couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful or seamless day at Ravenswood!

Picture Perfect

We loved our wedding at Ravenswood! This venue was the perfect balance of chic, charm, and history. We truly loved having this area for our wedding and watching all of our guests use the grounds for amazing photos, mingling, and creating such a wonderful vibe throughout! We are so grateful for a smooth process with the management team, Kesha, and all of the information that was provided to us through the process! We cannot wait go visit again, and of course attend more Weddings at this beautiful venue!

Our Dream Day

We worked with Kesha with Ravenswood Mansion to have our wedding ceremony and reception there. It was a beautiful and seamless experience, and it was everything we wanted for our wedding day. From the landscape to beautiful, original decor inside the historical mansion, we loved the venue so much!

Wonderful venue!!

Ravenswood Mansion was the perfect place for our wedding. It's beautiful (and in the last few years they've made some great updates too), affordable, in a very convenient location, and it really fit the vibe we were going for: classic, rustic, outdoors with beautiful views. We live in the midwest now but always go back to Ravenswood when we can to remember our special day.

Perfect Location

Ravenswood Mansion is the perfect location for the perfect wedding. All chairs, tables, bars and more are included in the rental price and the staff go above and beyond to ensure you have the perfect day. The bridal suites upstairs make a busy day relaxing and energizing for both the bride and groom. I can’t imagine picking a better venue.

Something to Rave About…

We live in California but wanted a destination wedding in Nashville. When we saw the reviews and photos of Ravenswood Mansion online, we booked immediately. We were able to check out the venue a few months before wedding to handle the final details, we knew we had made the right choice. This place is absolutely stunning! Our wedding went off without a hitch and that was thanks to the amazing staff at Ravenswood Mansion along with all of our vendors. Our guests are still raving four months later about this being the best wedding they ever attended.

Amazing venue, amazing day!

What an incredible experience we had with Ravenswood and the entire Brentwood support staff! Shout-out to Abby Cox for being so supportive, communicative, and caring each step of the way. We were a two-bride couple looking for a unique venue that had separate places for both of us to get ready, which was surprisingly hard to find. We also really wanted something historic with beautiful outdoor views and access. Ravenswood checked all of our essential boxes and was very affordable (including chairs, tables, and several other rental items that saved us a lot of money!) The venue was enchanting for our guests and comfortably fit everyone for the day. We were each able to host our groups of friends in our get-ready rooms, and we hired several of the recommended vendors, all of whom were incredible to work with. It rained the morning of our ceremony, and while we were hoping to have our ceremony on the front lawn, there ended up being several other location options that would keep us and our guests dry, and it was just as beautiful as we hoped it would be. Beautiful venue, incredible staff, amazing day. If we did it all over again we would absolutely choose Ravenswood! You can't go wrong if you want a special day to share with your loved ones.

Wedding of my dreams

This venue is such a great value! It is beautiful, you can make the venue look as casual or formal as you want, you can bring in all your own vendors to make the day uniquely yours and the space is large enough for a big bridal party and/or guest count! We had such a great, beautiful day and the staff was so helpful in referring vendors, being up front with costs and responding when we had questions! Would highly recommend!
