Historic Sam Davis Home and Plantation

The Historic Sam Davis Home and Plantation sits on 168 acres in Smyrna, Tennessee, where a Greek Revival home built in the early 1800s anchors a property that includes a second historic home, several outbuildings, a family cemetery, and Stewart's Creek winding along the grounds. Wedding parties are drawn to the setting's range of backdrops, from the shaded Backyard beneath large magnolia and maple trees to the tin-roof White Barn favored for elopements and small ceremonies. For ceremonies, the Historic Home's brick aisle-way and porch serve as a naturally decorated altar for larger gatherings, while the Creekside location — with built-in benches overlooking Stewart's Creek — suits intimate weddings of 50 guests or fewer. The Creek House offers a working gas fireplace, hardwood floors, and a full kitchen for receptions, rehearsal dinners, and business luncheons, and can double as a bridal suite for full-site rentals, with the nearby Ed Building serving as a groomsmen room. The wrap-around Veranda, lined with ceiling fans and lights, adds a covered reception space overlooking the Backyard. Couples and event hosts may bring their own catering and vendors, and alcohol service is permitted with an ABC-licensed bartender on site. A large paved lot and multiple parking fields accommodate bigger events, and the historic home itself can be opened for self-guided tours during parties for an additional fee.
