The James Madison Inn  and Conference Center is conveniently located in the heart of historic downtown Madison. Your wedding guests can indulge in a weekend of luxury, history and Southern hospitality or just enjoy your wedding day and reception.

Your event may be hosted outdoors in our garden area overlooking the city’s pond and walking trails, or in one of our indoor event spaces which may be enhanced to an enchanting, romantic venue with room for up to 200 guests. The James Madison Inn has 19 lavish, well-appointed guest rooms and is considered one of the most luxurious boutique hotels in the state.

Offering day spas, restaurants, shopping, golf, antebellum homes, and museums, (most within walking distance), Madison is perfect for a destination wedding. Madison and the surrounding area are home to a number of beautiful and historic churches and outdoor event venues available for wedding ceremonies. Our concierge staff can assist with all of your wedding arrangements including churches, caterers, florists, or even horse-drawn carriage rides.

At The James Madison Inn, we offer custom packages and services for each event. Our goal is to make your wedding the happiest day of your life, yet effortless for you and perfect in individual detail.

"The James Madison Inn hosted the out of town guests attending our son's wedding in March of 2008. The attention to details made the weekend such a pleasure, along with the Inn's wonderful hospitality. Being walking distance to our event locations, as well as the historic downtown area, made it so convenient for everyone. Thanks James Madison Inn for making our family and friends feel special by providing such a warm and inviting atmosphere! It was everything, and more, we wanted it to be...."
