Weddings & Receptions

A Setting Worthy of the Occasion.


Some couples want a place with presence, a house with a history longer than the guest list. The Caldwell House holds a ceremony, a reception, and everything in between, with the character of a home that has stood for generations.

Every wedding here is planned around the couple, not a template. Tell us what you have in mind and we will walk the property with you.

Capacity details available upon inquiry.

Beyond the Wedding Day

The Moments the House Holds


The Caldwell House is at its best when it is full of people who matter to each other. A few of the ways it is used:

  • Bridal preparation Quiet rooms with good light for getting ready, unhurried, before the day begins.
  • Rehearsal dinners An evening for both families to settle in together before the celebration.
  • Private celebrations Anniversaries, milestone birthdays, and gatherings that call for a place with character.
  • Portrait sessions The estate's architecture and setting as a backdrop for photography.
  • Venue tours Walk the property with us before you decide. We will show you everything.
