Est. 1907 · Abbeville, Louisiana The Caldwell House
The Inn

Stay a While

Five guest rooms, right here on the grounds — room for the wedding party, for out-of-town guests, for everyone you would keep near.

The Overnight Estate

Room for the people you love

The Caldwell is both a wedding venue and an inn — which means the people who matter most can stay right where the wedding is.

Five guest rooms in the main house give you plenty of space for overnight accommodations. Put up the wedding party the night before, so the morning begins without a single drive across town. Give out-of-town family a comfortable place to land for the weekend. And at the end of the reception, everyone simply walks upstairs. Rooms may be reserved individually, or the whole inn blocked off for your family alone. A continental breakfast — fresh fruit, pastries, coffee and juice — is set out each morning for overnight guests, and a full, made-to-order Southern breakfast is available as an add-on for those who'd like to wake to the real thing.

The Main House

Five rooms, each with its own character

Oversized guest rooms with private baths, deep soaking tubs, and the kind of tall windows they stopped building a hundred years ago. Downstairs, the formal dining room and the porch overlooking the courtyard belong to everyone — so all weekend long, your people keep finding one another, the way families always have in houses like this.

A guest room with an en-suite bath — a clawfoot soaking tub visible through the open door
A guest room — pale-yellow linens in the bay-window light
A guest room — antique iron bed and vintage dresser
A guest room that sleeps the family — a queen bed and a second twin beneath a high coffered ceiling

Rooms may be reserved one at a time, or held together for a wedding. The bridal suite is where the morning of the day begins, and the other rooms keep parents, grandparents, and the friends who traveled farthest close at hand for the whole weekend — no hotel across town, no drive at the end of the night.

For the couple: ask about the suite experience — your suite for the whole weekend, with breakfast in bed the morning after.

The Whole House

Take every key

Block off the entire inn — every room in the house — and the estate belongs to your people alone.

No strangers at breakfast, and no hurry anywhere in the house. Only your family and friends, the porch, and the gardens, for as long as the weekend lasts — and when no one quite wishes to leave, no one has to. A continental breakfast greets every overnight guest each morning, with a full, made-to-order Southern breakfast available as an add-on, and the dining room is at its loveliest at that hour.

For a wedding that gathers family from far away, blocking the inn settles the hardest question first — where everyone will stay. Out-of-town guests land steps from the ceremony, the wedding party wakes where the day begins, and downtown Abbeville waits just beyond the porch for the in-between hours.
