Beautiful Venue

The Cumberland House is absolutely beautiful! We knew we wanted to get married there the moment we walked inside. Kathi is a joy to work with. She is so helpful, and we love that she was a part of our day. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how lovely the house and garden are. There are several options for ceremony locations on the property as well as gorgeous places to take photos. We are so happy we chose The Cumberland House, and we highly recommend it!

Kathi Leatherwood and The Cumberland House were wonderful! Kathi was so easy to work with, and was so accommodating. She has very specific guidelines that allowed for planning, and had a great checklist for both before and after the wedding. TCH was a beautiful place that allowed us to have an amazing rehearsal dinner and wedding!

I absolutely love the diversity within the house and the yard. Every corner has a different look and texture for photographs. With the many different “rooms”, it was easy to have every wedding event at The Cumberland House without it becoming repetitive. Even with a wedding as small as ours (~50-60 people) it did not feel like the space was too overwhelming. Kathi was an absolute joy to work with, willing and able to reschedule appointments, if necessary. Her genuine nature and kind spirit add a breath of fresh air in the midst of the wedding planning process. The work she has done to build such a wonderful venue has paid off, and it made my wedding what it was. I am thankful I was able to book this lovely venue when I did.

The Cumberland House was the perfect location for my wedding. I was searching for an outdoor venue that was not a barn. I absolutely loved the charm and elegance of the house, the garden and the pavilion. I had bridal portraits taken at the venue that are amazing! The house, the gardens, the pavilion - are all so beautiful. It is the ideal venue to an outdoor/garden wedding.

The bridal suite, located upstairs, is so beautiful. All white, comfortable and equipped for the bridal party to dress. My bridesmaids and I had so much fun getting ready together. Plus, the photos taken in the bridal suite are stunning.

Kathy, the owner/host is so accommodating and helpful. She made the planning process so much easier. We used a lot of the vendors she recommended and were very thankful for the suggestions she offered.

The Cumberland House is a great value compared to other venues. The house is rented for the weekend, so that allows plenty of time to set up and clean up. We had the rehearsal dinner at The Cumberland House, which was convenient for attendants and saved money. The Cumberland House also provides an assortment of tables and chairs, which makes it an even better value.

I highly recommend The Cumberland House for a wedding venue. It is a hidden gem in Jackson, TN.

The Cumberland House was a dream come true! Kathi was a pleasure to work with and was extremely responsive. I never had to wait around for her help with any questions I had. She was there right away. I appreciated that so much; it took away a lot of stress when I was planning last minute. This venue is breathtaking and I knew I had to have my wedding ther from the first time I toured it months ago. The day was perfect and we r driver so many compliments, on the venue alone.

We were beyond grateful to have chosen The Cumberland House for our big day! We were welcomed by Mrs. Kathi (owner) and felt right at home. She was very responsive if there was ever a question in need. The Stardust room was absolutely stunning and had plenty of room for my bridesmaids and me to get ready for the day. There are also so many options to have your ceremony in the gardens. It was also a plus to have the garden pavilion as well. We couldn’t have picked a more perfect place to share our big day with our friends and family!

The Cumberland House is the perfect venue for a wedding! Whether it's the ceremony, reception or both, you won't be disappointed. You will fall in love with the venue the moment you see it. Every detail of Garden Pavilion was done to make a beautiful outdoor reception area. There are even hidden electrical outlets for vendors to use for decorations, DJ, etc. One of my favorites parts of The Cumberland House is the Stardust room! Words do not even describe how beautiful it is and how perfect the room is for the bridal party to get ready in! The owner, Mrs. Kathi, is awesome to work with. She works with the bride to make sure every last detail is dream worthy. You will not regret having your any part of your wedding at The Cumberland House!
