I got married here on 10/18/25. The staff was amazing and so accommodating to all of my needs. They do a lot of in house planning which is what really drew me in. The venue is gorgeous! I could go on and on about how great they are. Especially Chloe and Cora. read more

Great food and service. Solid atmosphere. It was great. I went for a wedding. It's a well kept area.

I attended a wedding at Riverwood Mansion this weekend, and it was gorgeous! I had spoken to a couple people who have had their weddings here, but this was the first time I was able to experience this venue first hand. Parking was a breeze in the front and they had plenty of staff members on site to direct guests toward the ceremony. They have a lovely garden set up for outdoor weddings, but the really gorgeous area is the mansion insides. Chandeliers everywhere and all of the rooms are beautiful and vintage opulence. Very lovely. And the staff were ON IT. They kept everyone on schedule and made sure to direct guests in an orderly fashion. Very nice. A couple of gripes, the bar area was quite small, so there was quite a bit of congestion at the beginning; long lines until dinner service started and then it eased up. Also, they stop the bar at 9:45 on the dot and close up at 10pm sharp. My friend caters here and says it is like clockwork. While I appreciate a well oiled wedding machine like that, I also find it a bit stuffy in my opinion. However, it was very beautiful and there were zero hiccups, so you've gotta give them some awesome credit for that! read more

Our daughter's ceremony and reception was held at The Riverwood in late April and it was spectacular. The grounds were perfectly manicured and the staff was on the top of their game. From day one, the communication and response time from Cora and everyone involved in the coordination of the event was outstanding, their knowledge and expertise left no stone unturned, which led to a flawless experience for all of us. The staff working the reception were remarkable. Their attention to detail and their efficiency, along with their kindness and ability to make us feel at home were beyond reproach. Their intuitiveness allowed them to know what we needed and wanted before we did. The food was off the charts and the whole evening was better than anything we could have envisioned. Their hard work and effort behind the scenes as well as the day of the ceremony was evident throughout, it was an event to remember for all of us and we are blessed to have found and chosen the Riverwood for such a memorable occasion. read more

Great and unique place for a wedding. I made the mistake of booking them in September, we gambled with the weather and our wedding day was hot and humid as hell. The tented back porch had NO a/c so we were basically melting by the end of the night. I'm not discouraging anyone but the lack of air conditioning should be taken into consideration when booking this venue during the warmer months. read more

My husband and I had our wedding here a few weeks ago, and it was everything we imagined and more! Highlights: - Cora, our coordinator with Riverwood, was phenomenal! She was incredibly detail oriented. She thought of absolutely everything, and kept the wedding running perfectly smooth and on time. - We currently live in California, so having a venue that had quality in-house catering, as well as partnerships with high-rated florist, DJ, musicians, etc. made the planning process so much easier! - The actual venue and mansion grounds are stunning! We didn't pay for many extras outside the floral budget and spent little on additional decor, and we still received compliments from friends and family on how beautiful everything was. - The venue was incredibly flexible and understanding as we had to reschedule our wedding TWICE due to Covid concerns. I heard horror stories from friends who also had to reschedule weddings during Covid, and I am so grateful we didn't have added stress from the venue. Cons: - Some of the furniture in the grooms room and bridal suite area is very old, not super comfortable, and a bit rickety when you sit on it. - This venue is a bit of a "wedding factory", and has a standard way of doing things. We sometimes found it frustrating they weren't willing to budge on certain rules, like having to have our rehearsal for a Sunday wedding on Friday afternoon. But overall, this ended up being a relatively minor issue, and the pros much outweigh these cons. read more

Back in the day when The Real World was still relevant (it used to be groundbreaking television), had there been a Nashville season, the 'house' would have been some stately mansion of some sort. You know how the the plan used to be to stick the kids in to some abode that was representative of the city (if you had a lot of cash, that is)? Yeah, Nashville definitely would have been a mansion. I say all this because when it comes to iconic Nashville home settings/properties, mansions with grounds are spot on. Riverwood Mansion is spot on. If you haven't finagled a way to visit the property, fix this. Get invited to a wedding. Heck, get married! Just do what you need to do to travel to this 'hidden' corner of Inglewood and take in one of the city's great venues. From the gorgeous green grounds (gardens!) to the stately white columns to the rooms of dedicated purposes (complete with inviting staircase), to the back of the manse which is more than large enough for whatever fete you're planning, Riverwood is a perfect mix of Nashville's historic relevance and (sub)urban charm. After going to the same venues for the same events over and over, don't you want to change it up? The mature trees, the semi-private grounds, the front porch, the large rooms with antique furniture... it's just all so d@mn charming. Once I found out the Riverwood existed, I knew I had to plan a way to get myself invited to the property. Once I'd actually experienced it for myself, I knew I had to plan a way to live there. I'm still working on that one... read more

I've been to Riverwood Mansion on multiple occasions-a wedding in which I was a bridesmaid, a wedding at which I was a guest, as well as Local Fest this past fall. All were very different but lovely experiences. When my sister got married there, everything was super organized. We got to show up, get ready in the bride's suite upstairs, watch guests arrive through the window, take pictures and enjoy ourselves. We weren't bothered with any details of the day because it was all being handled. As a wedding guest, it was really sweet to watch the whole thing from the outside. I got to see the wedding party in the garden instead of being a part of it. It was an evening wedding and as the sun set, the mansion and the lights set a romantic scene. Had a bit of a Gatsby feel to it. Very cool. The only thing I would have changed would be to add additional fans. There were some but it was in July and we danced a lot! ;) Local Fest was in November and turned out to be a really cool event. There were food trucks, local vendors, a photo booth, live music and fire pits spread out over the grounds. It was a little cold that day so the fire pits were a great idea. There was plenty of room for kids to run or to throw down a blanket and relax. That evening, they held a pop up dinner with local chefs and drink pairings in the tent. It was heated and there were candles lit everywhere. Definitely recommend this venue for weddings or any other event. It's different space and the team is very attentive. I have loved it each time I've visited. read more

My husband and I had our wedding here on July 11, 2015 and it couldn't have been better! I fell in love with the mansion as soon as I saw it and knew immediately it was exactly where I wanted to get married! It is so convenient to have the wedding in the beautifully shaded garden and the reception in the tent. It brought such a magical touch to our whole day! Every single picture has the perfect back drop now matter where it is on the grounds of the mansion! Another great perk are the people! From the wonderful wedding planner (Megan!!) to the catering (Debby & 8 Lavender Lane) everyone is so helpful and great! They really care about how you want the day to go and make you feel so special on your wedding day! I would recommend this to everyone! No matter if it's a small elopement to an extravagant party, Riverwood is the best host! Thanks to everyone that had a part in making our wedding so perfect! read more

Most say your wedding day is the most special day of your life, second only to the birth of your children. Though I cannot speak to the latter, Riverwood and its staff confirmed the adage for my husband and me. We were delighted through every step in the process, felt appreciated and taken care of, and experienced a picture-perfect moment in our lives. We could not be happier about our experience. read more

Wow! Blown away by this venue and the team as a whole. Special appreciation to Jacey, and Joyce. They were on every little detail. Even the things I hadn't thought about, they had. They made sure we had TRULY the BEST wedding day!! I cannot even begin to express how much fun was had by both of our families on the big day bc of the seamless nature of the event. That takes a team that knows what they are doing. We had a blast and so did all of our guests. Additionally, the pictures we have seen so far are phenomenal. I want to mention that our wedding was in September and yes it is hot in Nashville in September but they made sure to give us the option to have AC in the beautiful reception tent attached to the mansion- I wanted to mention it due to the fact another review made it sound as if in warmer months you shouldn't book this venue. That's not the case at all. Don't miss out on this amazing venue! You will not regret it. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Just had my daughter's wedding at Riverwood mansion. It was absolutely beautiful. The beauty of the mansion and the grounds, along with the excellent staff, made this the perfect venue for a wedding. Cora was wonderful from the beginning to end. She helped us in every step of the way, from planning and coordinating, to ensuring the wedding day was perfect. As the mother of the bride, I was able to enjoy the day and not worry about anything because I knew Cora had it handled. It was a wonderful experience! It couldn't have gone any better or been more beautiful! We definitely made the right choice in choosing Riverwood! read more

Fantastic creative group that took our corporate event to a very high level this year. Megan Sanders delivered a full court press of creativity and responsiveness with the support of the entire Riverwood Team. Thank you all!

This has to be one of the most grand venues that Nashville has to offer. My wife and attended a wedding a few month back. The home seems to have a magical feeling to it. read more

Just got married here last weekend. We are from Chicago and had 170 of our family and friends fly down for a destination wedding. I had a wedding booked in Chicago...and cancelled it bc no matter how hard I tried, I was not rich enough to put on the party I truly wanted. Then I found Riverwood Mansion, flew down, and within two weeks cancelled my old wedding and booked flights to Nashville. And let me tell you, it was so much easier to plan a wedding there then it was in Chicago. And the end product, oh my god, it was Amazing! The flowers, the DJ, the ceremony musicians, the caterer are all brought to you and they are UNMATCHED in their excellence. I worked with Megan and she was such a joy! I will recommend this place forever! read more

Riverwood is a beautiful and wonderful place for an elopement. I could not have asked for a better location for our wedding! The grounds were gorgeous, Sue was wonderful, and everything was set up and ready for us. Only having an hour made this day and location perfect for our small wedding party and would recommend Riverwood to anyone! read more

We were impressed from the very first meeting at Riverwood! Over the last 10 months of planning, every detail was meticulously planned. Jayce Cook Carlisle and Cora Bradley were available to us every step of the way. As Mother and Father of the Bride and living out of town, they were always available by phone and set up meetings to accommodate the travel schedule. It was extremely helpful for most everything to be inclusive! We had meetings with their caterer, musicians, florist, even a ceremony director and had so many options for decor. The wedding cake was gorgeous and delicious as well! We were so pleased with every aspect of our daughter's wedding at this beautiful mansion! They are so meticulous with planning that the wedding day is presented to you in a timeline broken into 5 to 30 minute increments! Plenty of staff on site. Mr. James Woodyard, Sr. And staff are superb special event professionals! Everything was perfect! read more
