After dreaming of marriage and a wedding my whole life, my husband and I finally got to experience all of that. The Winchester Opera House staff made our wedding and planning a dream! They have several options to meet your desires - from the beautiful ballroom, amazing food and drinks, bridal party prep areas (even a special area for the guys, or everyone!), a chapel, beautiful outdoor wedding space, and more right in the heart of downtown Winchester. We had an afternoon wedding with a brunch-themed reception. People are still complementing the food and entire experience, even 7 months later! Many shared some of the food was the best they've ever had. My husband is a foodie, so that part was important to him. The team discussed our desires, brainstormed with us, and created a reception beyond our expectations! We chose to hire the WOH coordinator as our wedding planner (an additional cost that was totally worth it and a deal compared to the cost of other wedding planners). The coordinator and assistant were present at the rehearsal, ceremony, and reception. Remaining their friendly selves, they also kept our large family on schedule and got everyone where they needed to be on time. We even gave them the challenge of getting 9 kids ages 20 months to 8 years old down the aisle and in their places, and the coordinators didn't hesitate to make it happen and work out kinks along the way. At the reception, they remained available, and one stayed close to us to make sure we were getting what we needed (and wanted)! My husband said the only thing he would change is to make it all last longer. We both loved our entire wedding rehearsal and dinner (we rented the WOH gallery for the rehearsal dinner), wedding, and reception. I highly recommend celebrating such a special event through the Winchester Opera House. They will work hard to accommodate your dreams! I wish I could add pictures, but check out my google review for pics!

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.
