A wedding is one of life's magic moments to be savored for its romantic associations, to be lovingly shared with family and friends, and to be cherished forever in fond memory.

The Coombs House Inn, with its nostalgic atmosphere of a more tranquil, by-gone era, provides just the right setting for this most important of family occasions. The Inn is located in the historic district of Apalachicola, established in 1831 at the mouth of the gently flowing Apalachicola River. Steamboat whistles once echoed along this river when cotton was brought down from plantations for transfer to sailing vessels bound for distant ports. Apalachicola boasts a wealth of antebellum houses and buildings which recall those prosperous days.

Another era of prosperity around the turn of the century saw the construction of elegant Victorian homes including the Coombs House with its high ceilings, many fireplaces, paneled walls and gleaming hardwood floors. The Inn provides lavish accommodations for the entire wedding party including a honeymoon suite with Jacuzzi bath and king size four poster bed.

Camellia Hall is the Coombs House Inn's spacious meeting room, the perfect place for a memorable wedding reception. The room can accommodate a hundred reception guests, and others may gather on the veranda or stroll the lawn. Or a sit-down luncheon or dinner for up to 60 persons can be arranged.

For those who may prefer a church ceremony before the reception, the historic Methodist Church and venerable 1836 Trinity Episcopal Church are just next door. The handsome St. Patrick's Catholic Church is only a block away and the 100-year-old Baptist Church just up the street.

Let the innkeepers bring their years of experience to the planning of your wedding. They can arrange catering, flowers, music, limousine, and even the wedding ring!
