Beautiful AND Organized

We absolutely loved using the Callanwolde for our wedding venue. They natural beauty of the house and the grounds cannot be beaten. There was plenty of space inside the house to accommodate all 140 of our guests for a ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception (which was so great because we didn’t have to worry about what the weather looked like that day)! The event manager on staff, Jordan, was so kind and helpful and very quick to response to emails and phone calls. We had zero complaints on our wedding day. Working with the Callanwolde was a dream!

Beautiful Venue

Perfect wedding venue to have an outdoor ceremony in the garden and indoor reception. It's a beautiful house and creates a stunning backdrop for photos. The only downside is that receptions need to end by 11 PM. Great team and very responsive

Beautiful Venue

This was a beautiful venue for our wedding, and it fit us perfectly! We had a gorgeous ceremony in the Hydrangea Garden with the hydrangeas all in bloom, followed by cocktail hour in the front on the Terrace, and the reception in the Indoor Courtyard. Everyone talked about how beautiful everything was and our coordinator was super easy to work with. Thank you for a wonderful night!
