Perfect wedding venue, perfect gathering venue, just amazing!

Magical venue, wonderful staff, made us feel like we were truly at home for the Wednesday-Sunday we had the venue rented out for our wedding.

Everything is stunning, the service is top notch, and we truly felt like rockstars having our friends and family spend the Thursday/Friday before our Saturday wedding with us at the Estate.

Slept 26 on site very comfortably, and having everyone stay in once place without having to move around all weekend was more of a blessing than we could have imagined. You get so much more time when you are not constantly going to a new location for a dinner or photos or this event or that.

Grounds made for STUNNING pictures. The pool/hottub/backyard were big hits during the nights prior to the wedding for us to hang out as family.

Beds comfortable, movie theatre super fun, everything you could want in a stay. Can't wait for the next big life event where we can rent a weekend at Cherokee!

Best wedding venue in tennessee

My husband and I had our wedding here on August 1, 2020, and it was absolutely amazing. More than amazing. It was the fairytale wedding of my dreams. We did a wedding weekend, so my grandparents, parents, and our entire bridal party were able to stay at the venue the entire weekend which made it really special. The staff at Cherokee Dock were awesome. We were able to call or email whenever we needed something, and Kelly and all of the staff were so knowledgeable about the venue and the wedding industry. They were super kind and flexible and helped with whatever we needed. They are definitely pros in the wedding industry! All my vendors also loved working with the Cherokee Dock staff.

It rained on our wedding day, but The Estate at Cherokee Dock has a built-in rain plan that made the day so much less stressful. They also have so many beautiful ceremony spots, a great catering kitchen that all of our caterers loved. The pictures came out amazing, too! There were so many great photo spots like on the swing by the Cumberland River and on the dock! This weekend was the best weekend of my life and I could not recommend having your wedding at The Estate At Cherokee Dock more. Our family and guests have not stopped talking about how amazing this wedding was, many of them told us it the best wedding they have ever been to!

Cherokee Dock is an open vendor venue, so we could have the wedding planners and vendors we wanted. This was extremely helpful for picking our bartender as there were no additional fees that had to do with alcohol like most venues.

Seriously if you are thinking about having your wedding here, do!! You will absolutely love it!!!
