Where Vibrant History Meets Mississippi’s Locale
Nestled beside the scenic Natchez Trace Parkway, the Waller Craft Center is more than an event venue: it is a landmark rich in cultural and creative history. Built in 1973 as a creative and educational sanctuary, the Craft Center is designed to inspire all through the richness of Mississippi’s roots.
Today, the Waller Craft Center redefines elegance with its contemporary architecture and distinctive Southern design. With vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, and a glass staircase, the venue brings natural light and beauty into any event. The property also hosts ample outdoor space, such as the Enchanted Circle or terrace, to further connect with Mississippi’s flora and fauna.
The Setting
As Cinderella had iconic glass slippers, the Waller Craft Center has an iconic glass staircase, perfect for bridal entrances and an elevated atmosphere. The venue’s open floor provides a blank canvas for any event layout, including dance floors, tables, decor, and more.
Hosts may expand the space further by opening the glass doors for guests to enjoy the spacious terrace and grounds. Indoors or outdoors, the Waller Craft Center provides the perfect backdrop for your special celebration.
