The Estate at Cherokee Dock is an event space and wedding venue located in Lebanon, Tennessee, just 30 minutes outside the heart of downtown Nashville.

Originally built in 1960, a nearly 13,000 sq. ft. Southern Colonial mansion sits at the center of the sprawling property. It is most widely recognized as the former home of award-winning artist, actor, and author Reba McEntire. In 2017, Cherokee Dock opened its doors as an event venue.
