Cheekwood Botanical Garden & Museum of Art

Cheekwood Estate & Gardens is the former family home of Mabel and Leslie Cheek, a 1930s Georgian-style mansion set on 55 acres in Nashville. Today it operates as a botanical garden, arboretum, and museum, with thirteen distinct gardens, a 1.5-mile woodland sculpture trail featuring contemporary outdoor art, and the restored Cheek Mansion, which showcases period furnishings and rotating exhibitions. For weddings and private events, Cheekwood offers a range of indoor and outdoor spaces set against the rolling hills of Nashville's Percy Warner Park, from intimate garden settings like the Wisteria Arbor and Burr Terrace Garden to larger venues such as Massey Hall and the Historic Mansion & Swan Lawn. The Historic Mansion & Swan Lawn accommodates up to 350 seated guests, while gardens like the Wills Perennial Garden and Howe Garden are popular settings for ceremonies and elopements. Cheekwood provides a list of approved caterers and is the exclusive on-site provider of alcoholic beverages. An Event Venue Supervisor is on hand as the onsite Cheekwood contact throughout each event.
