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 Pavilion 

5.0

Covington, KY
  • Up to 297 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $10,000
  • Open house

The Drees Pavilion sets the standard for event celebrations. Located on the highest overlook in Devou Park above Covington, Kentucky, the 10,000-square-foot pavilion was built and donated by The Drees Company in 2003 to commemorate its 75th Anniversary. An interior renovation was completed in March 2020, adding modern fixtures & finishes, thoughtful upgrades, and elegant furniture options.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Both indoor and outdoor options
  • Classic elegance
  • Handles all cleanup logistics

Venue considerations

  • Not for you if you are drawn to more unconventional venues
  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • No on-premises lodging options
The Drees Pavilion was an excellent choice for our wedding venue. Their communication throughout the planning process was timely, efficient, and thoroughly addressed all of our questions. The venue itself offered beautiful views and they provided many decorations we were able to use if we wanted. They went above and beyond, holding extra meetings with us to hammer out all the details and timeline before the big day. Despite a few things going wrong, including some last-minute weather changes, the Drees Pavilion team kept the day running smoothly. (We never knew if and when anything went wrong!) They did an excellent job of quickly flipping the ceremony from outdoor to indoor with only a few minutes notice, which prevented us from running too far behind schedule. The space was set up perfectly, and we couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. We highly recommend the Drees Pavilion to any couple looking for a beautiful, stress-free wedding day. If you are looking for somewhere to get ready and spend the first half of the day, Drees is not for you as they do not offer that. We did feel a little short on space and a “calm” environment in the areas the bride and groom and bridal party were sitting to wait for the ceremony to begin. I chose this venue largely because of the great rainout plan- they let me decide about 45 min pre ceremony on indoor vs outdoor and moved everything I wanted inside which still looked breathtaking! Kelly was an awesome coordinator and we had a great experience with Sonia and Scott as well. I would choose this venue again!

The Columns turned out to be a wonderful place for my wife and I to have our wedding.

Miriam is an absolute treat to work with and made the whole experience stress-free and FUN! I would recommend The Columns to anyone interested in a small-to-medium sized wedding. :)

The venue sets up all decorations (you provide the decorations), has in house bartenders/service staff, and offers food options from a scratch kitchen. The food was absolutely amazing, and the service by all staff was phenomenal.

We chose The Factory Event Center for our daughter’s wedding, and couldn’t have been happier with the decision. From our first meeting through the final goodbyes, April and her team were thoughtful, organized, and made everything easy. The gardens are truly a highlight. We toured in late spring, and were wondering how the garden ceremony space would look in the fall — it turned out to be absolutely breathtaking and the perfect backdrop. Every detail during the event ran smoothly: the setup, the coordination, the flow, and the atmosphere. Guests kept commenting on how beautiful everything was. We are so grateful to April and everyone at The Factory for making our daughter’s wedding joyful, memorable, and stress-free.
