If you are considering staying here for a weekend, or spending the biggest day of your life here, please just do it. You would be so lucky to experience it. We had our wedding at Vanderbilt Lakeside on 10/21/23 and let me just say: not only is it aesthetically a beautiful and unique venue, but Henrietta and Matt are quite literally the dream team when it comes to putting on an amazing event. Henrietta was always so responsive over our 17 months of planning, and was always eager to be helpful, even when I asked for ridiculous measurements and requests. She is so kind, so organized, so attentive. Matt made what our guests say is the best wedding food they’ve ever had––and daresay the best meal they’ve had in a while. Everyone also loved the signature drinks. I’m biased, but I think it was the most beautiful wedding I’ve ever seen. People kept complimenting me on what a great job I did, but the house is just so gorgeous on its own that I really can’t take credit for anything. The foliage was in full bloom around the lake too, and even though it rained, we had ordered a tent for the expansive deck and it was just a beautiful view. My family and bridal party stayed there for the weekend as well, and the rooms were comfortable with private bathrooms. Henrietta and Matt have exquisite taste when it comes to décor and food; and their team’s attention to detail and hospitality was so deeply appreciated on such an important weekend for us. When our tent was installed, they didn’t install the side panels, so Henrietta and Matt were out on the deck installing them for us in the pouring rain. I was unfortunately pretty ill on our big day, and wasn’t able to eat any of the delicious food. The kitchen staff kindly sent me home with leftovers and the bartender kept what we called the “Julia special” just for me: Pedialyte on the rocks. Henrietta made sure our table had crackers for me and I could actually cry right now thinking about how much everyone went out of their way to make sure I was ok. Thank you so much to Henrietta, Matt, and their amazing staff.
