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 : )

We hosted our wedding reception here and LOVED it. The space is beautiful on its own and does not need a lot of decorations. It was nice and easy having the alcohol provided by West Sixth (just had to meet a bar minimum, which we did easily with 80 some guests). I also liked that we were able to bring our own food in, which was provided by a local restaurant. Staff is friendly and communication was easy aside from an email glitch. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change anything!

From the moment we booked our wedding at The Oscar Event Center, the team there was prompt, friendly, and thorough in their communication. I had the opportunity and joy to work with Izzy and I'd recommend her whole heartedly. She were incredibly helpful in accommodating the dietary restrictions of about 20 of our guests, going above and beyond to ensure everyone felt welcomed and taken care of. We also had a fairly large wedding (200ish people) and Izzy let me be super flexible with table sizes since so many families/groups of friends would not fit in the standard 8 person round top. The venue itself was a blank slate that allowed us to truly make the space our own, with multiple options for seating areas and a delicious catering menu that our guests raved about. And the best part? There was no cost for the room rental, making The Oscar Event Center an incredible value for the quality of service and amenities they provided. Oscar Event Center only requires you to meet a minimum spend per person which was unbelievable. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue to celebrate our special day.

Awarded Best of Zola
LockRidge Park was the perfect venue for our wedding. The staff was very easy to communicate with, and the owners live just minutes away, so they were always available to help. The park itself has multiple options for an indoor or outdoor wedding, and it also has several places for the bridal party or guests to stay overnight. They were kind enough to teach us how to properly use any equipment that came with our wedding package, and Brian even used his drone to capture a video of our wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we highly recommend LockRidge Park to any couple planning their big day.

Kaila and Libby were were excellent in helping me decide how to set up the venue, what the timing should be for each portion of the wedding and making sure that all the little details were attended to. Their response time to my questions over the year (yes, I reserved the venue over a year ahead of time) was within a day; very good! On the day of the wedding, Kaila was with me the whole way, making sure that everything was where it needed to be. She also coordinated well with my florist, caterer and DJ. My friends and family commented on how lovely the ceremony and reception flowed using various sections of the Event Center for various events, i.e. the ceremony on the outside porch, the inside/outside bar area for appetizers/drinks, the remainder of the building for dinner and dancing.

The most gorgeous venue in Kentucky! The venue coordinator Natalie was amazing and made all of our wedding dreams come true. She worked diligently to make sure I had everything I needed, from the dimensions of the room to the stats on how many tables, chairs, etc I’d have available to me for the big day. The venue itself is stunning - the views are incredible, the bar is gorgeous, and there was plenty of room for our guests to eat, dance, and party all night. Natalie worked so hard making sure that the day went smoothly for me! When our cake cutting set was MIA, Natalie came out with a beautiful set for us to use. She made sure the staff got food out to the tables quickly and that everyone was happy. She checked in on me the perfect amount all through the day! Communication leading up to the wedding was phenomenal as well. The bartenders, waiters, and all staff were wonderful too! I truly cannot say enough good things. The venue itself is stunning and perfect, but the people who run it are what really took my breath away. THANK YOU to the Mane on Main, Natalie, and everyone who worked to make this day so wonderful!

Burdoc Farms has been owned and operated by the Shepherd family since 1942. With over 650 acres of open fields there are 2 different venues on the property for weddings. In 2012, the Shepherds hosted a wedding on the family farm. All the guests talked about was how beautiful the farm was and how they should be doing weddings full time. The Shepherd family converted the tobacco-cattle barn into a reception barn with all the amenities; bathrooms, kitchen, and electricity. The Shepherd family painstakingly rehabbed and recycled all of the materials in both barns to enhance and preserve the authenticity of the buildings. After converting the Tobacco Barn, they booked 24 weddings and then the next year they booked 38 weddings. In 2016, they decided to expand the business and build a year-round building, Keith Glen, in another location of the farm. Burdoc Farms hosts 60 to 80 weddings a year with couples coming from all over the country and a few from overseas!
