Weddings at Carnton

From two American Presidents to socialites at soirees, Historic Carnton Plantation has been a gathering place for ladies and gentlemen over the last two centuries.

Make your wedding a part of our tradition as you wed in the one-acre 1847 restored garden under our magnificent two hundred year old Osage orange tree or on one of the two Greek revival porches of the historic house.

Then host your reception under the star-speckled sky in the garden. To treat your guests to a true back-in-time experience, we will open the 1826 McGavock family home and invite them inside for an inspiring candlelight tour and glimpse into the history of Tennessee.

To truly make your wedding go down in history, choose Historic Carnton Plantation!

Our restored 1847 Italianate garden provides the perfect landscape for your ceremony and reception
Historic Carnton Plantation Built: 1826. Carnton's capacity is limited only by your imagination.

Three to 3,000 attendees may be accommodated on Carnton's spacious grounds. You may choose any licensed caterer, and alcohol may be served. For two-day rentals, you may host your rehearsal dinner or bridal luncheon on the Friday preceding your Saturday event. Carnton is also the perfect spot for your bridal and other portraits!
