Ceremony Locations

As First Lady of The Hermitage, Rachel Jackson enjoyed the garden and Hermitage Church most of all. The venues Rachel adored remain today as a symbol of the love and commitment between the two and offer a beautiful beginning for new couples.

The Garden

Elopement-style ceremonies are the perfect fit for some couples, and the Garden at Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage is an ideal spot for the most aesthetically-minded couple. 

Our Garden is in its peak during May and June, while we are offering discounted rates for elopements during this season. 

For a limited time, our Master Gardener will gather flowers from our Garden for your bridal bouquet upon request. 

The Hermitage Church

Love the idea of eloping but have always had your heart set on a church wedding? Andrew Jackson's Hermitage offers elopements in our historic church.

Original to the property, the Hermitage Church was constructed in 1823 by President Jackson as a gift to his wife, Rachel, and the surrounding community. For generations, the Hermitage Church has been a highly sought venue for couples who seek an intimate and historic site to share their vows.
