Great outdoor space in a magical wooded glen of trees and lights - adjacent is a 40X60 covered wedding pavilion with a fire pit - all set in a secluded, wooded area with large open fields, as well. Couples may have their ceremony in a wide open field surrounded with trees - totally private - or in the Glen, a magical forest of trees with a stone path.

The Homestead at Candlelight Forest is nestled in the tranquil hills of the Chattanooga Valley and just minutes from downtown Chattanooga. This picturesque estate sits across from Lake Angela with a breathtaking view of beautiful Lookout Mountain. We pride ourselves on creating a memorable experience for couples as they plan their wedding day. On top of providing a beautiful venue, we have generated a list of recommended vendors for all areas of wedding planning. From catering to florists, we have worked with the best in the business and are happy to give you the information you need to find the vendors that will make your dreams a reality. And if you are looking for a coordinator to help relieve some of the weight of planning every detail, we have some suggestions!
