About Annesdale Mansion

Now a gorgeous wedding venue, Annesdale was built in 1850. It is one of the largest and oldest homes in the Memphis TN area.

Set on 7 acres in the Annesdale Snowden Historic District, the Annesdale Mansion and its gardens were home to the Snowden family for over 160 years. The home even served briefly as a Civil War hospital.

Owners of Annesdale Mansion have preserved the beautiful historic nature of the home, from 14-foot ceilings, Aubusson window treatments, and beautiful garden.

The 9,000 square feet mansion includes grand parlor, library, sun room, dining room, and full kitchen. The spiral staircase, marble entryway, crystal chandeliers,hand-painted ceilings, bride’s room, groom’s den, and green room make it perfect for hosting weddings.

You’ve likely seen gorgeous wedding photos from outside the mansion in the romantic gardens. The cobblestone path, fountain area, and beautiful walls create fantastic photo opportunities in a historic storybook setting.

I guess you could say, it was love at first site! Annesdale is GORGEOUS! We were able to have the full experience all on site, separate suites for the bride and groom to get ready with the wedding party, ceremony, and reception all in one place. The staff was amazing, accommodating, and very helpful. All I can say is… VALERIE… I love you, you are wonderful! Thank you Annesdale for making all of our dreams come true on our special day!”

She worked closely with our caterer to ensure that everything that we wanted was handled and the setting was breathtaking. Even when we thought it was going to rain on our outdoor event, she took charge and made our original plan happen when the rain moved out. She could not have been easier to work with!”

My guest were so impressed when they pulled up that long drive with the gorgeous mansion at the end of it and not to mention how beautiful the pictures turned out! Also, hardly any decorating has to go into this venue. Annesdale itself is all you need. The venue is perfect and Valerie, the manager, is so helpful. She took so much stress off my shoulders. Just having her at my wedding making sure everything was going smoothly was such a relief. You can’t loose with Annesdale. Gorgeous, easy to work with, and no extra decorating cost!”
