I don’t even know where to begin. Before the wedding day, Grace, Klara, and Tina went above and beyond on every single detail to make this day truly special. They were there every step of the way and responded so quickly. I know they were working with so many other weddings, but made me feel special like I was the only wedding they were focusing on. I knew the wedding day was going to be beautiful through the planning process but I couldn’t imagine it being as beautiful as it was. From the morning of getting ready, to riding away at night I was in awe the entire time. I felt like the luckiest girl/bride in the world getting married there and having the support from all the staff and support.

We offer an all inclusive option for your entire day’s needs to help relieve the stress of planning and the burden on the bank account.

  • Lush gardens

Venue considerations

  • Does not have a dance floor
  • On-site parking not available
  • No on-premises lodging options
Our wedding was December 12, 2020, right in the middle of COVID curveballs. Two weeks out we had to slash our guest list to 25 people and leave our original venue when they couldn’t adapt. Belknap Event Center stepped in and instantly calmed the chaos. The space in Prospect, KY is gorgeous; warm wood cozy lighting, and flexible enough to feel personal even when you scale way down. We used just part of the venue footprint and it never felt empty or awkward. What really sold us: support. Glenn & the Belknap staff helped rework the layout for a smaller group, handled setup and teardown, and made sure we had a real, well-presented meal (not the sandwich pricing drama we’d been facing elsewhere). Every interaction was kind, practical, and focused on making the day feel like us, not “Plan B.” Our guests still talk about how much they loved our wedding and great the celebration was. If you want a venue that’s both beautiful and genuinely flexible, book Belknap. 10/10

PARLOUR Nulu//Falls City Beer

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.

We had our wedding here this weekend, absolutely a 10/10. The only thing we wish we could change was the placement of the sun for our guests during part of the ceremony. The staff from Speed, Marigold catering and the entire team involved from Adrienne down were the most polite and respectable staff I have worked with on event. This one was different since it was our special day. They emphasized the definition to “hustle to help” and “treat them like family” better than anyone ever before. Everyone made us feel supported, taken care of and made our most important day, PERFECT. The best part of our event was being able to take a picture with all of our vendors who supported. They treated us better than we could ever ask for. Props to Sound Unlimited Productions, Marigold, Speed, Courtney Samuels and many more! Thank you all! -Chris and Tierney

The Ashley Inn

Lancaster, KY
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services

  • Starts at $2,500

The nostalgic Ashley Inn is the most romantic location for your Kentucky bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, wedding weekend, and out-of-town guests. Celebrate lakeside near a gorgeous weeping willow, on the front lawn of the antebellum mansion, or in our newly-constructed, fully-enclosed Carriage House. The Inn and surrounding 130 acres is the ideal location and comes equipped with all the facilities and staff you need. Step through the doors of this classic federal-style home into a historic picture book. From the white oak floors to the handmade glass panes, experience life in a bygone era. The Inn was conceived in 2007, but this beautiful home dates back to 1840. Built by a southern family whose son-in-law would eventually march by the estate on his way to fight in the Civil War. It has since served as a dairy, a school, and is now the center of The Meadow Lake Equestrian Center, our on-site multi-discipline full-service equestrian facility.

  • Has a dance floor to dance the night away
  • Natural elegance with open spaces

The Ashley Inn was the perfect venue, they have great staff and Heidi is a joy to work with . If you want the ideal Kentucky themed wedding look no further than the Ashley Inn. The venue is nice for out of town wedding party members as the venue sleeps 14 plus people. My only recommendation would be to add additional fans in the barn for late night dancing. We had both barn doors open, but no summers breeze so the barn heated up fast for dancing.

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.
