Awarded Best of Zola
When we were choosing our wedding venue, we weren't sure we would ever find something that fit our vision. We wanted something intimate, laid back, with a ceremony focused on love. Up until we found Brenda and Pete, we thought that we would have to settle for a venue that felt disingenuous to us, with a ceremony that didn't reflect our values. When we discovered Terrapin Hill through a Google search, we knew we had to reach out. Scheduling a tour with Brenda was so easy, and she made us feel so at-ease with our decision. Once paperwork was complete, Brenda and Pete made the planning process SO easy, and we couldn't have been more grateful to them for all their guidance and help leading up to the day of. While communicating with Brenda, she even agreed to let both my mother and my mother-in-law into the venue half an hour early to set up decorations. We were married on May 15, 2025 at the Chapel, surrounded by our closest family and friends. Pete assisted us from the start to the end of the day, and was always nearby just in case. We were pleasantly surprised when Pete pulled up in his classic car and offered for it to be part of our ceremony, too! He drove my father and I up to our ceremony location, and then drove myself, my husband, and our photographer to our private vow location afterwards. Everything was absolutely stunning, and he helped the day run extra smoothly! We chose Terrapin Hill Farm based on the beauty of their location, the core values they reflect, their ceremony style, and the different packages they offer. Their excellent customer service and communication is just the cherry on top! We are so thankful to both Pete and Brenda for sharing their space with us, making us feel at-home, and giving us the perfect day to celebrate our love. We recommend Terrapin Hill Farm to any couples who are searching for their dream venue!

While there are many beautiful venues in the area to choose from, I would strongly recommend the Silo's to anyone searching for a venue in Western KY. The staff are phenomenal and are so responsive in any way. They are more than willing to answer any questions or even provide suggestions, if needed. The facility itself is gorgeous. It is really the best of both worlds - modern conveniences with rustic elegance. We had good size wedding party of about 175 people and it we still had plenty of room for dancing, DJ, photo booths, bars, head tablet, buffet and appetizers and dessert table. They also have a beautiful bridal house to use the day of for hair and makeup and the men have a huge area for getting ready as well. I couldn't have asked for anything better!

Nothing goes better with your event than the perfect Kentucky crafted beer!

When we started planning a December wedding in Louisville, we knew we needed a venue that would work in any weather. Given our shared love of craft beer, and our desire for an inviting space to host the event, we could not imagine a better option that West Sixth NuLu. Booking was straightforward and smooth, with two spaces to rent (we used both!) and a menu of packages that offered variety and flexibility without feeling overwhelming. We kept it simple with an open bar for beer, wine, and sodas, though our guests had the option to purchase select liquor as well. We also arranged a special beer for the event! It was an additional charge and took some planning but was absolutely worth it. Catering options are flexible - West Sixth provides a list of recommended local businesses, but allows for other outside vendors as well. We'd definitely be interested in trying their in-house options sometime in the future, though! We were fortunate enough to have an unseasonably warm and sunny day, which made for some stunning photos and a perfect display of all the natural light in both event spaces. Morgan, the event coordinator, helped us select the best arrangement for all stages of the event, and the staff rearranged seamlessly as the night progressed. In addition, each bartender was incredibly kind and attentive, which made for the most enjoyable evening. All in all, our experience was wonderful from start to finish. Amazing staff, beautiful spaces, and customizable packages make West Sixth NuLu a true gem for any event, all at a SERIOUSLY reasonable rate. We cannot recommend them enough!

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 had a beautiful fall wedding in October 2025 at the Tucker Homestead and this venue was literally a dream come true! The grounds are absolutely beautiful. The setting, the house and the cabin are all breathtaking and I couldn’t have picked a more perfect location for us. The owner, Caron, was great to work with and very personable! She was there with me through every step of the way and on hand the day of as a point of contact for the vendors. She even cut and then packed the top layer of our cake for us to freeze, which was so nice and more than expected! The package also came with a stay at an off site home that was so nice and peaceful. 100% recommend this location to anyone who say they’re getting married!

My Old Kentucky Barn 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Williamstown, KY
  • Up to 214 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor & indoor
  • Starts at $2,500

My Old Kentucky Barn is a new venue in an old tobacco barn. The 1800’s barn is situated on over 50 acres on Main Street in Williamstown, Kentucky. Our owner John grew up in Williamstown and, along with his brother Mike, spent a lot of time painting the white board fence and planting Canna bulbs in the spring. John is only the fourth owner of the property in 180 years. The Webb Family were the longest running owners. In fact, they donated land from the property to form Webb Park to the south. John and Edna Risen purchased the property in 1976 and sold it to John over 15 years ago. There is so much history here and we are excited that others can now enjoy the barn. Even though the outside of the barn looks new, all of the old detail is still there on the inside. We know that brides and grooms will make great memories here with their families. It will also be the perfect venue for milestone birthday parties, reunions and other memorable events.

The best wedding venue ever! Thanks to Janna and her team, everything came together so perfectly and went smoothly on our wedding day. The Bluegrass Wedding Barn team brought our wedding vision to life. Planning was so easy and stress free considering we were planning our wedding from a distance and moved states in the middle of the process. It was absolutely magical to walk in to the venue on our wedding day and have everything already set up. Our friends and family were able to just come, celebrate, and enjoy the wedding with us instead of worrying about setting things up and tearing things down at the end of the night. I absolutely recommend the Bluegrass Wedding Barn. They are the perfect wedding venue for anyone who wants a stress free wedding day in the gorgeous Kentucky countryside!

Mica and the whole staff at The Windamere really made our wedding better than we could’ve imagined. From the beginning, Mica was very straightforward and honest. All of her pricing was transparent and she was thorough with us. The venue offered the history and charm we were looking for at a decent price and Mica gave us the peace of mind by being our day of coordinator. I loved that we were all able to get ready on site and never saw each other until our first look. We also enjoyed that she has a secluded vip area for us right after the ceremony so we could take a few minutes to breathe before the reception. She helped through the decor process and was very timely with communication, especially as we were planning from 500 miles away. We are so grateful for her and her team.

PARLOUR Nulu//Falls City Beer 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Louisville, KY
  • Up to 200 guests

Founded in 1905 by Ben Schrader and a group of local tavern owners and grocers, the original Falls City was formed to fight a big beer takeover in Louisville. In 1906, Otto Doerr was hired as our first brew master and our beer soon began appearing in local taverns. Shortly thereafter, a bottling plant was added and Falls City became one of the most popular breweries in Louisville, KY. The Falls City Beer Taproom in the NuLu neighborhood recently underwent transformation as PARLOUR steps in for a collaborative restaurant venture. The partnership highlights the shared commitment to quality and community between Falls City Beer and PARLOUR. Falls City Beer has been a popular choice at PARLOUR restaurants, and this venture represents a natural progression of the successful relationship between the two establishments.

I truly cannot recommend The Stone House at Silver Creek and their amazing staff enough. If I could give them a million stars, I would. Megan and Braidyn went ABOVE AND BEYOND what I thought they would. Our big day wouldn’t have been a fraction of what it was if they weren’t working their magic behind the scenes. They worked perfectly together and it is evident that they both know how to do their job and do it well. Megan was so comforting before the ceremony, giving the bridal party a lil pep talk. Megan was constantly checking on us to make sure we were good and comfortable. They provided us with water and snacks, brought us drinks and hors d’oeuvres from the bar before and after the ceremony. Kept mine and my husband’s drinks topped off all night. So many little touches that we were not expecting at all, they did it and then some. We got so many compliments on how attentive they were and how kind they were. The planning process was also so easy with the staff at SHSC. They are SO responsive with ANY and ALL questions. I had a million questions about everything and they either had an answer or got an answer for me as soon as they could. They were truly there with us every step of the way from the SECOND we chose them as our venue. Their decor library is AMAZING!! As far as decor goes, we probably spent 100 total and we really didn’t even have to do that. They set up the entire ceremony site for us and were a HUGE help in setting up the barn and helping us decorate that. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful, everything we ever dreamed of and we truly have them to thank. The property is absolutely beautiful, the staff is amazing, and I could not recommend this venue enough!!!

This venue is absolutely gorgeous, and I am still getting complements on the venue and the food provided by the venue to this day. They really went above and beyond to make my day special and handled every issue that came up without bothering me with it. It was raining the day of and they made the decision to move the ceremony from the outside ceremony site to under their tent, which I was a little upset about (obviously the weather is no one’s fault, it was just unfortunate timing) and about 30 minutes before the ceremony it had stopped raining and the venue and their team moved the whole ceremony back outside! They moved all of my decorations and had everything set up beautifully before we started. The staff were also amazing and super helpful and attentive all throughout the night. They really include a lot in their packages and I couldn’t have asked for more from them. Jeremy did our ceremony and it was beautiful and really heartfelt. I won’t be having a wedding any time soon (haha) but I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who wants to have a smooth, beautiful wedding.

Firefly Hills is a peaceful, nature-filled space with plenty of room to relax and explore, and after spending time there, it’s easy to see why it appeals to couples planning weddings and events. The event area near the farmhouse works naturally for receptions and gatherings, with several beautiful outdoor options across the property for ceremonies. Beyond the campground itself, the property is full of charm, from the historic farmhouse to the chickens wandering around and providing fresh eggs in the morning. During our stay, we enjoyed walking the trails and spending time in the garden areas, and it was easy to notice how much space there is for kids to explore and play in the wooded areas. Being so close to Red River Gorge was also a huge plus. What stood out most to us was the campground’s genuinely welcoming, inclusive atmosphere. It felt like a place where people of all identities can relax, feel comfortable being themselves, and celebrate together. Participating in events there made it clear that the space is intentionally designed for connection and community, and it’s easy to imagine Firefly Hills as a truly special setting for a wedding or meaningful gathering rooted in nature and togetherness.

The first thing we knew we wanted out of a venue was a small size - we didn't want more than 60 people in attendance. We picked this location initially with the guest count being are only criteria, but we were almost immediately surprised by so much more. The view, the gorgeous interiors, and the rich history were all things that finally led us to choose this as our venue for our wedding. But, above all else, was the venue owner - Roger Swonger. He went above and beyond to make our day as special as it possibly could be, and with his help, our wedding day went absolutely perfect. With just one planning session, and a couple of tours, Roger was able to guide us through the perfect day. He communicated well with all of the vendors, was able to provide an amazing wait staff, and bartender, and even thought of the small details - placing some flowers on our small wedding cake, putting a pen by the guest book, etc. Most importantly to us, as a now husband and husband duo, was finding a venue that was accepting. This was Roger to a tee - not only did he treat us with kindness, he guided us towards other LGBTQ friendly vendors as well. With his support and guidance, we had a wedding that completely surpassed our exceptions of what a wedding could ever look like in an area like Kentucky. I don't think there is any universe where we could have had a better wedding, and this is all thanks to Roger, and all thanks to having our wedding ceremony at Wiedemann Hill Mansion.
