    Something out of a dream

    East Ivy Mansion is the most beautiful wedding venue I have ever seen. Not only did we think it felt like a fairytale, but our guests could not stop raving about it. Many people said it felt like five venues in one because it has so many unique settings for the various events throughout the night. Also, having our wedding party spend the night there was so fun!

    Amanda is amazing and responds SO quickly. We did not use her as our wedding coordinator but I think she would do an unbelievable job. Even though she was not our coordinator she went above and beyond to help make everything perfect and even got behind the bar to help out!

    I could go on and on about how great East Ivy is, but I think the pictures speak for themselves.

    Best wedding venue ever!

    Literally I couldn't have dreamed up a better day. Amanda and her team made this event the best it could be. The venue was the most perfect backdrop. We received so many compliments throughout the night and days after about how gorgeous the wedding was. It was truly magical.

    I could not have imagined a better day! The East Ivy Mansion is beautiful, and my family and friends had the best time staying there. Our wedding will be talked about for a very long time. Thank you East Ivy!

    We got married at East Ivy in October and it was the most amazing night!! Our guests are still raving about how beautiful the venue was! The gardens, pool, and mansion itself make such a lovely backdrop for everything. We also LOVED that we were able to have our dog in the wedding and that she could stay overnight with us there. Our wedding party had such a blast getting ready at the mansion and staying overnight to continue the fun! Jamie was incredible to work with and handled every detail for us! She was able to turn my pinterest dreams into reality. We had a few hiccups leading up to and during the wedding that she handled, taking a lot of the stress away from us. There was a high chance of rain so we ended up tenting everything and it was AMAZING! The tents made everything so intimate and romantic. We visited SO MANY venues in Nashville and this is hands down the most beautiful, fun, and special place to get married. Highly recommend!!

    Jamie, Coby, and the rest of the staff were amazing, and our wedding wouldn't have been the same anywhere else.

    We live in a different state, so we had our initial meeting with Jamie when we first saw the property, and then all of our planning was done long distance until we got into town 2 days before our wedding. Even with that, everything went off seamlessly.

    Jamie & Coby were able to get all of the decor I'd brought into place perfectly, and Jamie even got us chargers delivered at the last minute, when we mistakenly didn't realize we had left those off of our rental company invoice.

    I really can't say thank you to them enough!

    Perfect in every way! We are so happy we chose East Ivy for our wedding, I could never say enough great things about this incredible venue. We got way more than we expected. Our guests are still raving! Jamie,Coby, Johnny, the entire staff-fun, intuitive, professional, absolutely AMAZING!! Our guests had no idea how clueless we were when it comes to "running" a wedding, Jamie was by our sides from the moment we arrived through the last song of the evening. I don't know how she does it but she took care of every step,. She knew exactly what we wanted/needed before we did. Like magic! Jamie has GOT to be the best coordinator on the planet & East Ivy the best venue. You will not be disappointed! Thank you , East Ivy, for helping create magical memories.

    Can I give more than 5 stars?! Our mid-September wedding at East Ivy was a dream! Throughout the course of planning, Jamie was extremely helpful - from referring me to vendors to giving me advice on what lighting/draping looks good and helping me visualize the layout and develop the timeline. The venue itself is beyond stunning, with many different options of where ceremony/reception/dancing can be. I was so bummed when rain was in the forecast for our big day...we decided to use the tents based on the chance of rain. I thought that would take away from how beautiful the venue is, and I was wrong. It was STUNNING with the tents! The location of EIM is perfect - close enough to downtown, but not in the heart of the the honky tonks. We loved staying overnight at the mansion afterwards after our reception was over to continue the celebrating with our wedding party. Book your wedding here now!

    What an incredible venue! This was our top choice from day one but we had an incredibly short engagement and we're worried we wouldn't be able to get a date that worked for us since it's such a great location and they're obviously booked during peak times. We toured several other venues as back ups but none of them had the "wow" factor of East Ivy. Just the grounds and atmosphere is so unique and elegant without being stuffy. So many people said it was the most beautiful wedding they'd ever been to and so much fun too.

    Behind the scenes, it wasn't all fun and elegance though. Half our wedding party including the bride came down with a stomach bug the night before and some even ended up in the ER. The wedding coordinator Jamie was great though and rolled with all the day of changes due to the fact that we were sick and they even arranged for a service to come in and give us IV's before the wedding to get us through.

    If you want the most incredible wedding you've ever dreamed of, East Ivy is the PERFECT venue!!

    We knew we wanted to get married at East Ivy and as we looked at other venues while we tried to find a date that worked here, nothing even came close to comparing to East Ivy. They were so great to work with us to make our day incredible. The wedding coordinator, Jamie, is fabulous. She worked with the vendors for us and kept us in budget, keeping so much stress off of me. When several people in our wedding party, including myself, ended up sick with a horrible stomach virus the night before the wedding, they found a service that would come to the venue and administer fluids and anti-nausea medication. Talk about going above and beyond. They worked seamlessly as we cut activities and rearranged the schedule for the day to accommodate me being sick. No one who attended the wedding had any idea that we were physically falling apart because they kept everything running so perfectly. Although that day did not go as I had originally envisioned because of the virus, they made what could have been a nightmare into a dream come true anyway. You're not going to find a more incredible venue, staff or full wedding experience than you will there. So glad we chose East Ivy!

    Jamie at the East Ivy is the ideal person to work with when planning your event. She is prompt and great at consistently communicating with you. She is willing to go above and beyond to provide you with the information you need to make you feel comfortable using her venue and their team of vendors.

    East Ivy was a BEAUTIFUL venue for my wedding and reception. It's like a little hidden gem. I had countless guest tell me how magical the night was. The East Ivy team was amazing! They were so on top of it all. We even had a little rain but with the tents and lighting, it was breathtaking. It was a fairytale!! The vendors were so accommodating. Chef Penelope's food was delish. The goat cheese mashed potatoes were a hit- everyone loved. Jamie Lane was a rockstar coordinator. She made my day so relaxing and easy. Our wedding photos are gorgeous. East Ivy was a perfect backdrop. So happy to have those pictures forever. I could not have chosen a better place to marry my high school sweetheart! :) We had a dreamy wedding. xoxo

    My wedding at East Ivy was beyond my wildest dreams. It was perfect in every way, and unbelievably beautiful. The venue is so stunning by itself, I barely needed to decorate. All of guests kept gushing over beautiful the space as well. Jamie and Coby were fantastic to work with, and made me feel at ease. We planned everything in 8 weeks, and Jamie was beyond helpful in making sure there was no stone left untouched, and made everything come together flawlessly. I really couldn't have done it without her. My wedding was truly better than anything I ever imagined- all thanks to East Ivy.

    This venue is amazingly stunning and very accommodating throughout the whole wedding planning process. I cannot tell you how great and easy to work with Jamie the sales rep event planner for our wedding. She had every intention of making sure our wedding day was wonderful and we had everything we wanted. The grounds and the facility are fantastic and it is such a beautiful place that you can get amazing photos with little work. The pool was the icing on the cake and I would highly recommend East Ivy Mansion.

    My daughter married May 2, 2015. This venue is absolutely beautiful. The historic home and outdoor space provide picturesque settings for the bridal party and guests. You must see the gardens to understand how lovely this venue is. Jamie is the space coordinator/wedding planner and she kept the reception moving at a perfect pace. This was my third child to marry and it was the most beautiful of all the venues we have worked with. Thanks to Jamie!

    Jamie, the event coordinator, is the reason our wedding ran so smoothly. She was very professional every time we talked and consistently followed up with me about details that I kept forgetting. She made sure she had all the correct information before the weekend of the wedding and helped work out all the kinks during the rehearsal. She was by my side the entire day while getting ready and taking pictures, reassuring me we were right on schedule. If there was any sort of problem, Jamie handled it behind the scenes without letting anyone know or worry. She even had to add a sweetheart table at the last minute to make sure we were able to sit down and actually eat. She remained calm while being completely professional the entire time and made sure we were the priority the entire day. We are so happy she was available to us for our wedding!!

    Jason and I got married at the mansion in Nov. and it was a fabulous experience. We decided to go with November, since it was considered low season and we were on a little bit of a budget and were paying for our wedding ourselves. They had a great vendor list, and we enjoyed working with them through the entire process. We didn't have to spend an arm and a leg on decor, because the property is so striking as it sits. We really loved their in house DJ and they even let us use their fire pit for a smores bar, which was definitely a hit. We had no complaints and most importantly our friends and family had a great time.

    We had our big annual meeting for a membership organization of which I am a board member. We thoroughly enjoy working with this venue because of its unique ambiance, gorgeous grounds, and spectacular building with amazing architecture and rich history. But one of our favorite things about East Ivy is the team - we love working with Ed and the girls at this venue because they listen, are professional, and attentive. We communicate well leading up to the day of the event, and they continue to exceed our expectations. We are proud to be culinary partners as well as clients. We'll use this venue again and again. We suggest you do yourself a favor and go visit the magic that is Easy Ivy!!

    East Ivy Mansion is the place where dreams come true. What lies behind her walls is truly a magical venue. I can remember driving up and being overwhelmed by her beauty. I knew even before the giant iron gates opened and welcomed me in that this was the place I would promise my forever’s and begin my happily ever after. Upon entering, you find yourself in another world, surrounded by lush gardens, pristine architecture and true beauty. As I looked around, I was amazed by all of her secret places, each more beautiful then the next. It was like stepping into a fairy tale, my fairy tale. Whatever your dream is, this is a venue that can accommodate it. The grassy knoll with the beautiful brick arches is perfect if you are looking for that long walk down the aisle. The green gardens, babbling brooks and cascading pool are enchanting and perfectly picturesque. This majestic mansion is a treasure to behold and the perfect place to host your wedding party. East Ivy is a stunning venue and so much more. Its owner, Ed Clay, and his entire staff are remarkable people with work ethic to match. Each and every detail was handled with care and consideration. It is a business that believes in exceeding expectations and delivering premier results. The entire property is an endless source of possibilities to make your dreams come true.

    Unforgettable Venue

    East Ivy was a dream reception venue and we received many compliments on how stunning the property was from our guests. Amanda did a fantastic job of being responsive to our many questions, transparent about costs/pricing, and generally with suggestions in addition to being flexible with potential weather/temperature changes the week of the big day.

    My husband and I got married at East Ivy on May 6th, it was quite possibly the best day of our lives! There was nothing really to complain about. The Wednesday before our wedding the weather changed drastically so we made last minute decision to use the tents and it was a great decision. Everyone loved that they weren't hot while eating and it made it feel a little bit more intimate. Jamie and Coby were great to work with! If your budget allows it, getting married at East Ivy will be the best decision you make!

    Love the Garden Grounds

    We chose East Ivy Mansion because it is so unique in Nashville! We didn't want a farm/rustic wedding... we didn't want the exposed brick/wood vibe... and that's a lot of the venue options in Nashville! I wanted our wedding to feel like a lush, luxe backyard party and that's what it felt like.
    Some older reviews mention management issues. These scared me when I was selecting East Ivy. I even spoke with brides who had horror stories from their East Ivy weddings! However, management has changed and this is no longer an issue! Amanda at East Ivy was great to work with for us, and for our planner to work with as well. She is a professional with a lot of experience in events. We loved her!
    I will say this is one of the most expensive venues in town, in our research. But it's so magnificent, I'm so glad we chose it.
    If I could change anything, I was not in love with the interior... our "getting ready" space was not as chic as I'd hoped, BUT that's very minor compared to the beauty of the gardens. I addressed this by asking my photographer not to focus on the interior of the house. I'll take it!
    Overall, East Ivy is so beautiful that it truly influenced the theme of my whole wedding. Once we booked it, I chose a garden-inspired dress, I had our bridal party in greens and blues, and our invitation had lush greens and flowers. I even ended up with an ivy-inspired wedding band. East Ivy Mansion is so beautiful and I would choose it all over again in a heartbeat!

    East Ivy Mansion is a gorgeous facility. My pictures came out gorgeous thanks to John. We received many compliments about the grounds and the food (from Penelope's). During the rehearsal we discovered that the mosquitoes were becoming annoying, but the problem was taken care of for the wedding the following day. They had the grounds sprayed and added additional bottles of repellant for our guests. Not one of our guests noticed any mosquitoes at the ceremony and reception.

    Jamie was amazing to work with. She made everything stress free for me by taking care of all the preparations. Jamie is both professional and very personable. I truly enjoyed getting to work with her and how at ease I could be on my wedding day because of her.

    I am very grateful for having chosen East Ivy for my wedding. It was a great experience overall. Thanks again to Coby, Jamie and John.
