Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • This fabulous indoor/outdoor space features unique gardens and an art museum. Imagine the possibilities of a 1920s Georgian-style mansion set on 55 acres with an array of cultural—and horticultural—splendors. Plus, your wedding fees help support preservation efforts.
  • From Reflecting Pool and Japanese Garden to columned rooms and an herb garden, the options seem endless. Two very popular spots for outdoor weddings are the Wills Perennial Garden with its limestone wall and view of the mansion…and the multilevel Burr Terrace boasting an enclosed cottage garden and fountain.
  • The Museum of Art pairs elegant receptions with paintings and artifacts. This impressive setting also includes use of the Swan Lawn. More exquisite choices abound: the Frist Learning Center merges the original stables, carriage house, brick courtyard and glass-walled pavilion, and the Massey Center, with its tall white walls and modern, open floor plan, offers access to two outdoor terraces that overlook the brilliant Color Garden.
