Andrew Jackson's Hermitage, Home of the People's President Reviews

I am a DJ in the Nashville area and I had the pleasure of working with Emily Dolch at the Hermitage for a wedding. Emily was extremely communicative, friendly, and overall, just an easy and enjoyable person to work with! Everything was planned thoroughly and we were able execute everything perfectly. By the end of the night, the bride and groom were raving about how much they enjoyed their special day, which wouldn't have been possible with Emily and the amazing staff at the Hermitage. Plus, this venue is absolutely gorgeous! I would highly recommend if you are looking for a team and venue, they will make your special day as memorable as possible!

Getting married at The Hermitage was an absolute DREAM! While we had to forego our big party this year due to COIVD, Emily and the entire events team was so accommodating in helping us pivot to an intimate ceremony with only our parents. We can't wait to be back there celebrating our one year anniversary with all our friends and family. If you're looking for a gorgeous venue with historical ties and an exceptional event planning team, this is the place for you!

Not only is the venue incredible, but the wedding planner, Emily, kept our wedding and reception running smoothly and brought calm expertise to our wedding day. All staff were above and beyond any expectation as they allowed us to access the wedding venue VERY early in the morning to be prepared for our 10 AM wedding. We cannot recommend this venue enough, you will not be disappointed with the quality of the venues or the attention to detail the entire Hermitage staff provide for your special day!

We were absolutely blown away by our experience with the Hermitage, particularly Emily and her team. The venue is beautiful and exceeded all of our expectations - the Church and the Cabin by the Spring are so charming and were the perfect locations for our ceremony and reception. We had our rehearsal dinner at the Mansion and are so happy we did - getting that extra time on site was so nice and the setting is gorgeous.
Emily and her team were professional, prompt, and made our wedding day run so smoothly. It was such a relief to not have to worry about details on our wedding day - knowing they were on our side truly allowed us to relax and enjoy the whole process from planning to actually walking down the aisle. Besides the team we worked with, everyone at the Hermitage was super accommodating - when my dress got caught walking out the door from the visitors center, a kind lady at the ticket counter got me un-stuck!
We seriously could not have imagined a more beautiful day. Every detail was just perfect and it wouldn't have been possible without the Hermitage and the event team!

I’m not sure how to express accurately our Amazingly wonderful, perfect experience at Andrew Jackson’s The Hermitage!!! From the first inquiry phone Call to the last load of packing up, Emily and the staff at The Hermitage were exceedingly above and beyond our expectations!!! I would encourage any type of bride to consider this venue because they can do it ALL!!! Absolutely phenomenal experience - Highest marks possible!!!!!!

Grew up going to the Hermitage and was so excited to get married in the Hermitage church. Everyone was very helpful and the church hardly needed decorations. We had an awesome wedding!

Emily and her crew were fantastic to work with. From start to finish, they had great communication, they were flexible, and had such happy spirits in going about their job. They truly made this bride less stressed and felt like family. I highly recommend the venue, the people, and the whole experience!

I can't say enough great things about the Hermitage! My now husband and I were supposed to get married at their Cabin by the Spring in late April, but due to COVID-19, we chose to postpone. Prior to the postponement, Emily (the events manager we worked with) had been INCREDIBLE throughout the planning process, answering endless questions and welcoming us to drop by anytime to take measurements, check out the floor plan, etc. We originally chose this venue because it's gorgeous and super affordable. If you're looking at this review -- you're probably realizing how expensive and competitive it is to get married in Nashville!
Anyway, when we landed on the heartbreaking decision to postpone just one month out from our wedding date, Emily and the team could not have been more accommodating and flexible; It was a really emotional and sad moment for us -- and she truly went above and beyond to make the postponement as seamless and headache-free as possible.
We postponed to September, but still really wanted to tie the knot sooner. We reached out to Emily to discuss elopement options, and she was able to help us coordinate the most magical, intimate elopement for just a few weeks later in June!
Emily saw that the most beautiful ceremony site in the mansion gardens was selected and that chairs were set up for our guests (immediate family only due to COVID gathering restrictions). She even had a golf cart ready to tote us over to the ceremony site since it was so hot outside!
As of last week, we decided to *again* postpone our September date and take a step back from planning until late 2021, and again, the Hermitage has been nothing but accommodating, flexible, and understanding with what we're going through.
If you're looking for a venue that will treat you like a member of the family and not just a date/down payment... I will tell you to get married here!

We were recently married in November at Andrew Jackson's Hermitage. We could write a book with reasons why we recommend this venue, but in the interest of time, here are our two favorites:

The Staff: Emily and her team are the definition of professional. They not only handled all operations and decision making the day of the wedding (flawlessly), but fully supported us during the months leading up to the wedding. We are so thankful that Emily was there to guide us through the whole process.

The Venue: We were married in the Chapel which was simple, yet beautiful. The reception took place at The Cabin by the Spring which was cozy and warm. We're still receiving compliments about both sites and how unique they were.

All in all, the venue and the staff make this a must visit if you're looking for a wedding venue. And we'll say it again because we can't say it enough, Emily is AMAZING.

I got married a month and a half ago and people are still raving about how much they loved how unique The Hermitage was. There's so much history there, but also so much beauty! Most of the vendors I used were familiar with the venue, which made planning much easier. Emily (our month of coordinator) made all of the difference in planning our wedding day and how smoothly things ran on our actual wedding day. I cannot recommend getting married at The Hermitage more! They also have a large catalog of decor that you can rent for your wedding day, which saves money and keeps you from being stuck with a bunch of random wedding decor after your big day.

Emily and the whole staff at The Hermitage made our wedding day amazing. They went above and beyond to make every moment special and stress free. I highly recommend this venue. I couldn't have asked for better.

Working with The Hermitage was a dream! From booking the venue to our wedding day Emily Dolch catered to our every need and was always so willing and prompt to answer any of our questions. Emily and her crew went above and beyond to make all our wedding dreams come true. They took care of everything on our wedding day and made it a totally stress free day for us and our family. They took our wedding vision and transformed The Cabin by the Spring into everything that we had dreamed of. We would highly recommend using The Hermitage for your wedding day, you will not be disappointed!

Emily and the entire team at Andrew Jackson's Hermitage were excellent to work with. Not only is the venue space completely gorgeous, the team goes out of their way to make your day so special. The truly made all my wedding dreams come true!

My experience working with Andrew Jackson's Hermitage and especially Emily Dolch was PHENOMENAL. Emily made sure that every detail was worked out before the wedding so that I didn't have to worry about a thing. On the day of the wedding she managed everything! From florists to caterers to lighting, I didn't have to talk to a single vendor or make time in the day to meet them. The setting was perfect, the mansion made for a great back drop and the tent was perfect for dancing the night away. I couldn't have imagined a better wedding day and I know that the people helping put it together played a huge role in my being able to enjoy the day fully with no distractions.

Erica and her team at The Hermitage made my vision come to life. My wedding day was absolute perfection. From the venue, to the recommended vendors, and the small details that make all the difference, I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Everything I said was important to me, was there and highlighted. I am still getting compliments on my wedding and have been told by A LOT of my guests that it was the most beautiful and fun wedding they’ve ever attended. As a bride that planned for over a year and a half, that meant everything to me. I couldn’t have done it without Erica and will be forever grateful for making the most important day of my life perfect in every way.

The Hermitage is absolutely beautiful. Kellie has been fabulous with helping us plan our special fay.

When looking for a venue/event space for our wedding we fell in love with The Hermitage. The pictures online are gorgeous but it's even MORE gorgeous when you see it in person--you will be blown away. We live out-of-state so we were doing a lot of emailing back and forth with Erica, the event director/planner. She was REALLY helpful in answering all of my questions; she even let me get her opinion on a few things as well as bounce ideas off of her. *THANK YOU FOR THAT*
We met with Erica 2 weeks before our wedding day, toured the grounds and areas we would be using. We felt VERY well taken care of and any of the loose ends/questions we had she was already tying them up, finding solutions or had an answer. Our wedding day was like a dream come true. She and her team truly knocked it out of the park. My husband said it was as though they had a copy of my vision and how I wanted the space set-up and they HUSTLED to make it happen. If they told me they waved a magic wand I would have believed them. It was that amazing.

Though the Church got VERY hot, with NO form of air conditioning, our wedding there and our reception (at the Cabin by the Spring) was AMAZING!!! I would highly recommend The Hermitage to anyone getting married. Their staff is extremely helpful and attentive at ALL times!!! From our FIRST visit to our Wedding Day, we were VERY pleased!

Just wow. I cannot say enough amazing things about this venue. Most of all, the team was absolutely incredible. I felt such a personal experience without a Erica, and it made all the difference. Best day of my life. Couldn't have found a more perfect match.

Words cannot express how wonderful our experience was with the Hermitage! Erica, Kellie and the other staff we worked with, helped me to finalize all of our plans and brought all my ideas to life! They communicated with me all the time, and were very organized. They made our wedding day and whole experience go so smoothly. They were so accommodating and helped in every way possible. Not to mention, The Hermitage is one of the most beautiful places in Nashville! Our photos are stunning because of the beautiful location. We had a lot of out of town guests, and they enjoyed touring the grounds before hand. Love love love that we chose to have our wedding and reception here!

We were so thrilled with our experience at The Hermitage. We booked The Hermitage without seeing it in advance, and we ended up being so pleased with how everything turned out for our wedding day (11/19/2016). We chose an outdoor ceremony at dusk on the lawn, and our reception at Cabin by the Spring. It was truly a treasured experience for us and our guests. The ceremony was beautiful and peaceful at dusk under the trees. The intimacy of the cabin and ambiance with wood-burning fireplaces was unique for our guests. We loved the historic, rustic and authentic nature of the site. We have stunning photos under the fall trees, against cabin stone-work, and in the cotton field. The team was very accommodating and helpful from start to finish. Shannon was a joy to work with. It is a dream come true that the venue provides day of coordinating. I highly recommend The Hermitage for an authentic, rustic feel and a professional, excellent team.

Cabin by the Spring was the perfect location for our wedding and reception. The staff was wonderful to work with and very accommodating when planning our wedding. We have had so many people contact us since the wedding and tell us it was the best wedding they had ever been to and that they loved the location!! Thank you Ben and Emily!

Our wedding was a dream come true at Andrew Jackson's Hermitage! Our ceremony took place at the historic Hermitage Church followed by the reception at the Tulip Grove Mansion. Both spaces were charming and beautiful, but even more impressive was the staff. Our Wedding Coordinator Emily Piepenbrink was the BEST! Emily and her team were very professional, detail-oriented, but most of all, incredibly friendly. As a hospitality professional myself, I greatly appreciated this. She made our wedding the best day ever (even in the rain)! I would highly recommend booking an event or wedding at The Hermitage! If you do, ask for Emily! You will not be disappointed.

Whenever I had questions the staff was more than helpful and quick to respond. There were several times I needed to come out to the venue and they were great about setting up convenient times. The day of was perfect :)

We had an absolutely wonderful and amazing experience with The Hermitage and their staff. They were fantastic to work with, responsive, straight forward and always pleasant. We absolutely loved working with Bonnie in particular. She made us feel so comfortable. She and her team did an absolutely phenomenal job executing our plans and ideas into a spectacular day. We could not have asked for a better experience or a more perfect day!
