Our Fairytale Wedding
There’s no way to even begin describing how amazing our experience was with Charles Davis Mansion. From the start of our interactions, Bill—the owner—was very responsive and accommodating. He truly ensured that, from start to finish, the whole process went smoothly. Bill is not only dependable but also personable and intentional in the care and maintenance of the mansion and its guests. This made our stay at the venue comfortable and cozy, allowing us to relax and enjoy our time together while managing other preparations prior to the big day. It was a miracle that we discovered Charles Davis Mansion, but we knew as soon as we saw it that the search was over. As though it were straight from a fairytale, the mansion has its own magic and character that you can feel in every room. The beautiful color scheme paired perfectly with our wedding palette—not to mention how charming the furniture was as well. Our guests were all enthralled with the venue and gushed about how beautiful the ceremony was. With about 40 people in attendance, the backyard had ample space for everyone and room for activities. While we had some worries about inclement weather, Bill handled it with his weather machine and somehow gave us a beautiful sunny day. And with the shade from the huge magnolia tree and a tent for extra cover, there was nothing to worry about. Bill and his team are well connected within the Shelbyville community and had many helpful local vendors to recommend. This venue was perfect for our Elegant Fantasy themed wedding—but it could also be ideal for rustic, mystery, historical, or magical-themed events too. We are so grateful to have experienced Charles Davis Mansion and the wonderful team that comes with it.

The team at Charles Davis Mansion provided superb communication and support from start to finish. This is truly the most stunning venue you'll ever see. Bill was so incredibly helpful and supportive leading up to and throughout our wedding. He had contingency plans in place in case of weather and fully set up our space to make it everything we dreamed of. I can't say enough how perfect our day was at this incredible venue.
Response from vendor•Jul 13, 2025What an amazing Staycation weekend Tyla & Lance!! We can’t wait to have you back for your 1 year Anniversary - we love your vision 🥂 Bill & JessOutstanding venue!
Wow.. where do I even begin? Let me start by saying, we feel so honored to have had our wedding here at Charles Davis Mansion and we consider ourselves lucky to have met Bill (the owner) and his team (Kevin and Devon). From the very start of us considering Charles Davis Mansion as our wedding venue, Bill was incredibly attentive and responsive. Our messages were never ignored and he answered all our questions with clarity. Within a matter of hours from when we first reached out to him, we were able to swing by the mansion for a full tour. It is so evident how passionate Bill is about the mansion and its history. He made it clear that should we choose CDM as our wedding venue, they would do absolutely everything they could to make our day PERFECT. And they exceeded that by far. From setting up almost everything we would need for the rehearsal dinner and wedding, to providing a list of their preferred vendors, to adding small, thoughtful touches all around the house in preparation for our arrival. The amount of care and consideration they put forth was evident. Our guests went on and on about the shear beauty of the mansion and the back yard. Mrs. Magnolia and the hanging lights over the deck add such charm to the atmosphere. CDM provided all the linens, chairs, tables, the dance floor, the speaker system, the bar cart, some wedding decor, and tons of gorgeous china tucked away in the butler’s pantry. I can say that the mansion truly felt like home, and Bill and his team felt like family. You’d be blessed to have your wedding here.
Response from vendor•May 31, 2025What a wonderful Forever Weekend Emily & Sky! You made it incredibly easy on us to shine for your magical day 🥂An amazing venue for an unforgettable wedding
From the onset when we first started talking to Bill and his team, he was attentive to our vision. His thoughtfulness, communication, and feedback helped put our minds at ease during the whole planning process. The mansion really is a one stop shop, especially if you have a more intimate wedding planned. Glassware, stemware, cutlery, and dishes are all available for the reception. We had our wedding in the fall and knew that we wanted amber glasses/ decor for the event and had let Bill know we were purchasing some of this for our guests to use. What we didn’t expect was for him to give us access to all of the existing decor in the mansion that matched our aesthetic. You’re truly not just getting a fantastic venue; you’re working with an amazing person. We also originally planned to have a tent for the reception (which Bill gave a list of recommended places to rent from), as well as our ceremony in a different part of the venue. We changed our mind as the wedding got closer and Bill was not only flexible with this, but supportive and understanding. He helped us layout where we wanted certain decorations to go, how the seating should be arrange, and helped us map out what the day of the wedding would look like. He was so professional and was arguably as excited about our wedding as we were. Leading up to the day of the wedding, some of our guests were staying at the mansion. Bill and his team prepared the rooms for our guests and even made the moments before the wedding memorable as well. They had full use of the mansion and he was a call away if anything was needed. The backyard was decorated with strings of lights, a dance floor, and he had both pews and chairs for our guests to sit in during the ceremony. As for the venue itself, it was originally built by a furniture manufacture near the early twentieth century. The incredibly detailed woodwork throughout the house and in the historic dining room furniture reflect this history beautifully. The downstairs has two fireplaces that made perfect locations for family and group photographs. A freak thunderstorm delayed our departure from the venue, and once again, Bill came through by allowing us to stay an additional night there to ensure our travels were safe. You really can search across the country, but we truly don’t believe you will find a better venue or team than you would here. It made a potentially stressful event into such an amazing start to our marriage.
