We were married at Hotel Covington in September 2024 and it was hands down one of the best decisions we have ever made. We knew we wanted a fully outdoor wedding with food and drink provided on-site, and HC provided exactly that. I could go on forever about how wonderful every single person was – Ashley was amazing getting us started with HC, then seamlessly handed us over to Riley who was with us until the day of the wedding. The staff was attentive to our needs, and we were so bummed when the night was over. All our guests (including our sweet doggie) felt incredibly welcome. We have officially made it a point to visit Hotel Covington every few months for drinks, and plan to stay there again for our anniversary. Thank you to the entire team at HC : )

Drees was the best decision we made about our wedding day! Scott and his team were incredible and made our day literally perfect. From the beginning they were great at communication, and always answering my questions leading up to the big day. Drees is a well oiled machine that had a drink in our hand as soon as we were up the aisle and took such good care of our parents and bridal party as well. You also can’t review Drees without mentioning the breathtaking view of Cincinnati! Our guests loved it so much- we unintentionally provided them an outdoor photobooth :) we loved Drees and everyone there and would choose it over and over again!!!

Welcome to The Taylor Mansion, a historic wedding venue at 335 E 3rd St, Newport, KY. Built in early 1830s for General James Taylor, Jr., this stunning Queen Anne-style estate offers timeless elegance with a rich past—it even served as a stop on the Underground Railroad. Recently restored with over $1.4 million in updates, the mansion blends historic charm with modern luxury, featuring soaring ceilings, intricate woodwork, a gourmet kitchen, and designer bathrooms. The 8,700 sq ft space includes beautifully restored rooms and expansive grounds with scenic views of the Ohio River and Cincinnati skyline—perfect for both indoor and outdoor celebrations.

We hosted our wedding at the Taylor Mansion in Newport, KY, and stayed there with 11 guests over three nights—it was truly the perfect venue and home for such a special occasion. The mansion itself is a stunning historic property built in 1837, and staying there felt like stepping into a piece of history. Yet, it’s fully updated with modern amenities that made our stay incredibly comfortable. The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped, ideal for cooking for a large group, and the generous counter space made buffet-style meals easy to serve. The living areas are cozy and inviting, and the bathrooms are absolutely luxurious—especially the main bedroom’s shower with its multiple jets, which felt like a spa experience. There was plenty of room for all our guests to spread out and relax, and the Taylor Mansion team was incredibly responsive and helpful. When we had a minor issue with the disposal, they had someone out the next morning to fix it—no stress at all. As a wedding venue, the Taylor Mansion exceeded every expectation. Their team handled all the setup, including table layout and chair selection, and even brought in a cleaner before the event to ensure everything was perfect. They were available throughout the day for any questions or last-minute needs, which gave us peace of mind to truly enjoy the celebration. We held our ceremony on the first-floor balcony, which offered beautiful views and a romantic atmosphere. The old office was transformed into our dance floor, and the built-in sound system made it easy to play our Spotify playlist for the ceremony, dinner, and dancing. One of the standout features was the vintage wooden bar with a brass foot rail—it added so much character to the reception space. We chose Kate Catering, one of their preferred vendors, and the food was absolutely phenomenal. Their staff was professional, friendly, and helped elevate the entire experience. Whether you're looking for a unique and elegant wedding venue or a place to host a memorable group stay, Taylor Mansion is a true gem. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

We could not have asked for a better wedding venue! We had about 160 guests, and having both the ceremony and reception on-site made the entire day seamless and stress-free. The space was beautiful, and everything ran perfectly. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was the staff, especially Sam. Sam went above and beyond from day one. Without Sam, I’m not sure we would have even chosen this venue. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care made us feel so supported every step of the way. Sam made sure our vision came to life and kept everything running smoothly so we could just enjoy our day. If you’re considering this venue, do it… and if you get to work with Sam, you’re in the best hands possible.
