The Hermitage Hotel

The Hermitage Hotel was a wonderful venue for our wedding reception. Not only is the venue absolutely stunning - our guests were certainly quite impressed by the gorgeous lobby and beautiful, cozy ballroom - but the people with whom we worked were extremely responsive. While there is a catering menu from which to elect menu options, The Hermitage Hotel was more than willing to cater to requests for alternate options or variations, and essentially made planning the menu an open book - very exciting! We are so excited to be able to return to The Hermitage Hotel in the years to come, knowing that it will be there and open for us to celebrate many anniversaries. As the father of the bride stated: it is the greatest hotel of all-time!!

We had our ceremony and reception at The Hermitage and it was wonderful! Very helpful! Jacqueline Taylor was our coordinator at The Hermitage and she went above and beyond to make our day exactly what we wanted and in our price range. She is phenomenal! We wanted something very small for family only - so she suggested The Veranda for both ceremony and reception with a cocktail/appetizer hr between in the lobby. It was wonderful and just what we wanted! I couldn't ask for anything better! Highly recommend without any hesitation!

If you are looking for a venue for the ultimate and perfect wedding reception, then The Hermitage Hotel is it!!!!! This vintage setting is beautiful and only further enhances any celebration you plan. My daughter's wedding reception was held there on Saturday night, June 25, 2011. Kimberly Gawthorpe was fantastic...extremely professional, friendly, caring, and cheerfully and completely answered each and every question which my daughter and I asked (and there were many). When she says, "It's going to be all right and everything will be just perfect!", she truly means it. Her complete attention to detail allowed my daughter and me to enjoy thoroughly the entire evening without worrying if something was going to go wrong. The food was delicious; the service was excellent. Our guests continue to tell us what a wonderful event it was. And my daughter continues to tell me what an absolutely amazing night it was!!!!

I had my wedding at the Hermitage Hotel and it was EVERYTHING I have ever dreamed of! Jacqueline, the wedding planner there, is absolutely AMAZING and she pulled off my whole wedding with only one month to plan! She always returns phone calls in a timely manner, grants all the wishes you could ever have for your wedding day, and has the best personality to work with. And, if you are not dead set on having your wedding on a Saturday, then having it on a Sunday cuts your price in half!!! She will work within your budget and will do everything she can for you. The staff at the Hermitage is wonderful, and the bride and groom get to stay there that night for free! It's a beautiful, 5 star hotel and the only one like it in the south! You will not regret choosing this location for your wedding and reception.

Having my Wedding Reception at The Hermitage Hotel made me feel like a princess in an early 20th century castle. The service, food, and attention was first class. The most beautiful place in Nashville.

The Hermitage Hotel has quite possibly the best guest service out of any place I have ever been. We actually had our reception location at a different venue, but unfortunately we were flooded out. The Hermitage Hotel, along with our planners, helped move us. The move occurred within 3 days of the flood and we couldn't have been happier. Everything went off without a hitch and I sincerely have Pam, The Hermitage Hotel Even Planner, to thank. She is quite possibly one of the nicest and most accomodating people that I have had the pleasure of doing business with.

I am not really able to give an accurate depiction of the cost and flexibility because we moved everything three weeks prior to our wedding, and The Hermitage Hotel honored our contract with the previous venue.

I can't say enough wonderful things about The Hermitage Hotel. Kimberly Gawthorpe was outstanding to work with. We used the Veranda for my daughter's ceremony, the lobby for cocktail hour and the Grand Ballroom for the dinner. All are beautiful. The service was outstanding and the food was fabulous. I highly recommend this venue.

I truly cannot say enough things about the hotel to convey how absolutely amazing and perfect our experience there was. When we first visited with Kimberly Gawthorpe there soon after getting engaged, we knew the Hermitage Hotel was our dream wedding reception and host hotel for the weekend.

The service and quality provided at the hotel are unparalleled anywhere else you'll look in the city. Anything we wanted was available - they will make it happen for you. Kimberly was a complete dream to work with and has become a good friend by giving her personal touch to make sure I had the wedding I wanted. We never once felt "nickeled and dimed" and we felt we got the most of every penny spent. The food was delicious, as was the service at the reception. The bartenders and servers were professional, courteous, personable, and fast.

Most of our wedding guests stayed at the hotel for the weekend and all of them could not have been happier. You won't have to worry about decor because the hotel is so classic and ornately beautiful - it's the perfect place for an elegant and classy reception.

Kimberly and everyone else at the hotel were so accommodating to our every wish and made it all so easy. I would not change a thing, and not many brides can say that!

My husband and I had our reception at the Hermitage Hotel on February 6, 2010. We has the pleasure of working with Kimberly Gawthorpe in sales. She was an absolute joy to work with. I highly recommend her. She was always available for meetings and phone conversations. She went out of her way multiple times to make sure we had everything that we needed. You cannot go wrong with this venue. Our reception was classy and elegant. We still receive comment to this day on how beautiful and perfect our reception was.

Five Star doesn't even begin to describe this venue, the service, and the experience! We had a small contingent of less than 30 for our wedding and The Hermitage Hotel made it the most elegant, memorable, and affordable wedding/reception one could ever imagine. We used the veranda for the ceremony and the reception with plenty of room for a dance floor, live musicians(4 string quartet), gift areas, munchy tables, and a full sit-down white glove serviced dinner.

First, and most importantly, Kimberly Gawthorpe is the most courteous, gracious, and attentive person a bride could ask to work with for her wedding day. She managed everything to a 'T' with compliments to her, her staff, and to the hotel still coming to us months after the wedding. The venue...gorgeous, historical, and memorable to everyone. The food...phenomenal. The setup, planning, and guidance...unbeatable. The service...unparalleled! The price, fantastic and surpassed in quality. No nickel-and-diming, no petty hidden charges as we saw with other 'big name' venues. Truly, this place focuses on the welfare and happiness of the bride and groom, while extending the best service in Nashville to their guests.

My thanks to The Hermitage Hotel and most especially to Kimberly for making our wedding priceless, memorable and everything we could have ever imagined, and more! If you want the most memorable start to the rest of your life, Kimberly at The Hermitage Hotel (and her staff) is/are the one(s) to make it happen!

The location and service will not disappoint! No where else in Nashville will you feel more pampered -- our reception at this location made the night magical! 10 stars!

This was such a beautiful place for a wedding. Our ceremony was on the veranda and then a cocktail party reception followed in the lobby and ballroom. The staff was so helpful selecting the menu, which was a seven course, butler passed, heavy horderve dinner and an open bar. Our only issue was getting all of our rooms in time for the wedding party to get ready for pictures. My son and his family did not get a room until almost 5 and the wedding was at 6. That was a bit stressful! We managed and the rest of the event was great!

WOW! What a wonderful place to hold a wedding reception! It's beautiful and our wedding consultant at The Hermitage is fantastic. Amy Alalouf is both a joy to work with and extremely professional. She took care of everything up to the last minute and detail. I can't say enough good things about her and The Hermitage. The food and service were awesome!!
