Inn At The Old Silk Mill

The Inn At The Old Silk Mill and our sister venue, The Woolen Mill, located just next door, are full-service wedding event spaces in Fredericksburg, Virginia, offering lodging, ceremonies, and receptions. We are located minutes from I-95, Routes 1 & 17, and within walking distance of historic Downtown Fredericksburg.

The Silk Mill dates back to 1889 and offers an elegant and industrial atmosphere. At the turn of the century, the mill served as the area's major employer of women. The event space holds up to 300 guests. Your ceremony can take place in a variety of locations, including our adjoining chapel, courtyard, or inside the mill. This Silk Mill is known for its flexibility of set-up and layout designs and is the perfect backdrop for any decor taste.

Our new sister venue, The Woolen Mill, is located just next door. The Woolen Mill dates back to 1864. Since then, it has served as a factory for various industries, including a shoe & pant factory and, most recently, before its current use, a commercial signage company. Along with the Silk Mill, Woolen Mill was also a major employer of women in the area, and there are countless stories & family history that are rich to Fredericksburg's history. Now restored, Woolen Mill offers a gorgeous industrial modern feel with beautiful craftsman accents, most of which are original to the building. One of its most unique features is a spacious rooftop overlooking the scenic Rappahannock River, where you are sure to see a variety of wildlife, including bald eagles that nest along the riverbank. This location also boasts an original elevator; however, a modern elevator has been added to offer access for your guests who may not be able to walk upstairs, as well as for safety purposes. Woolen Mill accommodates up to 220 guests.

Our venues include tables, chairs, and linens; we set up a breakdown of those items. We are also proud to offer in-house catering and bar options for a streamlined and stress-free process for our couples.

Both the Silk Mill and Woolen Mill offer on-site accommodations at Inn at the Old Silk Mill, our 25-room historic inn. The Inn has always served as an overnight accommodation location since its origination in the 1920s. This offers a unique experience for you and your guests to enjoy your time exploring historic Downtown Fredericksburg without the hassle of driving. Each of our 25 rooms is different from one another and can accommodate a wide range of needs from single guests to families.

We look forward to learning more about you and catering to your wedding needs.
