About the Estate

The Estate at Cherokee Dock is an event space and wedding venue located in Lebanon, Tennessee, just 30 minutes outside the heart of downtown Nashville.

Built in 1960, a Southern Colonial mansion sits at the center of the sprawling yet secluded garden estate. At nearly 13,000 sq ft, it’s most widely recognized as the former home of Reba McEntire, the award-winning singer, actor, and author. In 2017, Cherokee Dock opened its doors as an event venue.

The grounds feature many different spaces to hold events big and small, from an intimate ceremony in our secluded garden to large corporate parties.
