I am so happy I chose The Tucker Homestead as the venue for my wedding and reception. Out of all the venues in the area, I still believe firmly that it is the most beautiful and elegant. I was so overwhelmed planning my own wedding, and Caron took so much stress off my shoulders. I don’t know what I would have done without her! She also offered great ideas and suggestions when it came to aspects I was unsure of. We had a beautiful September (2016) wedding on the lawn, followed by a delicious dinner (Caron is an amazing cook!) inside the historical house, and a reception in the charming rustic cabin. She owns a B&B just a short distance up the road, which my bridesmaids and I used to get ready the morning of, and the night of the wedding, the wedding party spent the night there. Caron is very detail oriented, and it shows because every component of my wedding day was beautiful and perfect. It is such a charming place! No regrets at all!

Simmstown Manor 

5.0

Springfield, KY
  • Up to 400 guests
  • Raw space
  • Outdoor & indoor
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Offer

Built in 1842, historic Simmstown Manor has a rich story. Originally constructed by Harvey McElroy for his daughter Mariah, the home later passed to John Simms after the Civil War. Unlike many, Simms preserved his wealth through the war and acquired the mansion and its surrounding land, eventually owning 2,400 acres. The Simms family added a two-story north wing and moved in by 1868, hosting grand gatherings for the region’s most prominent families. When John’s wife, Sarah Cecilia, died in 1895, he divided his land among their five children, giving Simmstown to his youngest, Mary, with whom he lived until his death. The property remained in the family until 1983, when it was sold to the current owner, Larry Hodge. Both the house and grounds later underwent extensive renovation, preserving as much historic character as possible.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Private area for the wedding party
  • Has a glamorous vibe
  • Both indoor and outdoor options

Venue considerations

  • Dance floor not included
  • On-site parking not available
  • Does not allow pets
Simmstown Manor was the perfect place for a recent family reunion. I can’t imagine a more beautiful place to spend time with extended family. The house is immaculate and the pride of ownership was obvious. The property is extremely private and everyone enjoyed taking walks around the extensive grounds and seeing the horses. The bedrooms were large and furnished elegantly and we had plenty of space for everyone, teenagers included. The owner was very responsive and met us on site to orient us with the home. The kitchen and dining areas were well equipped and had ample seating for our large party. This is a special place and we certainly hope to visit again.

Our wedding at west sixth farm was everything we could have dreamed of and more. We had been going to the farm for years and even got engaged there on the disc golf course, so it was only fitting to have our wedding there too! The event management staff were incredible to work with leading up to the event and the staff that worked the wedding were equally amazing. Everything went so smoothly and it was just a beautiful setting to get married at. Would highly recommend this venue!

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.
