Intimate Celebrations
Micro weddings, elopements, vow renewals & more.Versatile, Historic, and Truly One of a Kind
From gardens with tranquil water features to a brick-paved patio lounge and towering ancient oaks, Chatsworth offers unforgettable views at every turn. Exchange vows beneath the trees or in vine-covered pavilions — with indoor and outdoor options for both ceremony and reception.
Private lodging is available in the 18th-century Marguerite Guest House and the CarolAnn Cottage. In-house catering features southern cuisine with a modern flair. Our goal is simple: give every couple the feeling they have come home — far from a commercial ballroom, in a magical setting where love flourishes.
A More Personal Way to Celebrate
Choose Your Ceremony Space
Exchange vows beneath ancient oaks, in the rose garden, or inside vine-covered pavilions — or indoors in the Chatsworth Gallery & Patio. Every setting offers the same historic beauty with the flexibility your day deserves.
Cocktail Time & Champagne Toast
Following your ceremony, guests can gather on the outdoor patio for a champagne toast. Mobile bar service and hors d'oeuvres are available exclusively from our in-house team — no outside caterers or outside alcohol permitted. See the menu for pricing.
Portraits on the Grounds
Property use for engagement and bridal photos is included (by appointment). Towering oaks, tranquil water gardens, and vine-draped pavilions give your photographer a variety of stunning backdrops.
Your Reception
Celebrate indoors in the Chatsworth Gallery & Patio or outdoors on the estate grounds — with the bandstand and dancefloor under the Brass Chandelier Pavilion. Catering and bar are available in-house only — dinner, small plates, and cocktail service from the Chatsworth kitchen and bar team.
Overnight lodging is easy at Chatsworth. The 18th-century Marguerite Guest House (5 bedrooms / 4 baths, $1,550/night plus tax) and the CarolAnn Cottage ($250/night plus tax) sit steps from where you celebrate — reserved for wedding couples and immediate family.
