About the Estate

Just outside the heart of downtown Nashville, The Estate at Cherokee Dock is one of Tennessee’s most breathtaking lakefront wedding and event venues. Built in 1960, this Southern Colonial mansion is the former estate of the Queen of Country herself, Reba McEntire, and sits at the center of the expansive property. In 2017, it opened its doors as an event venue, and with nearly 13,000 sq. ft., The Estate at Cherokee Dock offers versatile options for weddings and events alike. You dream it, we create it.
