We believe every story deserves a setting as real and beautiful as the love it honors.
Every celebration begins with a story worth telling. The Velveteen was created with a singular vision: to bring a modern, elevated wedding venue to Madison, Mississippi, infused with the charm of Lost Rabbit and the timeless beauty of the views of the Ross Barnett Reservoir.
Inspired by the enduring themes of The Velveteen Rabbit—love, memory, and visions becoming reality—we designed a space where couples and families could bring their most significant moments to life. The Velveteen exists not just as a venue, but as a partner in crafting experiences that feel authentic, elegant, and lasting.
