Voted Best in Tennessee 2025, The Caldwell Inn & Chapel is a Milan, Tennessee wedding venue that was designed with convenience in mind. There, couples and their wedding parties can slow down, relax, and spend time together, staying on-site for the duration of the celebrations while experiencing southern hospitality at its finest.

Facilities and Capacity

The Caldwell Inn & Chapel comprises several different event spaces. The Caldwell Inn was built in the 1800s and served as both a home and a public library over the years. Today, after careful restoration, this beautiful southern mansion has five stunning and well-appointed king rooms, welcoming living rooms, pristine gardens, and a state-of-the-art kitchen for catering use. Throughout the home, the soft color scheme and vintage decor create a chic and comfortable environment for you and your guests. The exterior features stunning columns that add elegance and charm to the home’s facade, creating a stunning photo opportunity on your special day. The next-door Carriage House and Caldwell Pavilion can be reserved for your reception. Inside the Pavilion, high ceilings and twinkling lights create a romantic atmosphere. The Carriage House’s wood plank ceilings and grand chandeliers combine to add a refined element to this inspired space. Say “I do” out on The Paddock in front of 150-200 loved ones under the shade of grand trees. Ceremonies of up to 115 guests can also be held in the lovingly restored 1876 chapel, which is nestled on two beautiful acres that include a forest, green lawn, and a gazebo. There is also a swing hanging from the gorgeous oak tree, creating the ideal setting for wedding photography. You and your wedding party can catch a ride back to the Inn on board Walt, the New Orleans-inspired trolley bus. This vintage showstopper is the perfect mode of transportation for up to 14 passengers to arrive at the reception in style.
