The Haycraft was an outstanding choice for our wedding venue. Brittani and her team were extremely effective, to the point, and direct in their communication, which was incredibly helpful throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was nothing short of perfection - the venue was clean, the setup was breathtaking, and they went above and beyond to make our special day truly outstanding. Brittani even went out of her way to pick up a dress for me when I accidentally left one at home! From start to finish, The Haycraft made all of our wedding day visions and dreams come true. We are absolutely amazed by their service and attention to detail.

Springfield, KY

  • 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.

The Venue at 939 Adams was the perfect choice for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication style was easy and responsive, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. The venue itself was simply gorgeous, full of character and uniquely suited to our vision for the day. Even when the weather didn't cooperate and it rained all day, the indoor setting meant we didn't have to worry about anything. If you’re looking for an alternative to the barn wedding aesthetic - The Venue at 939 Adams truly helped make our special day everything we had dreamed of.

We cannot say enough amazing things about this venue and the team that made our wedding day absolutely perfect! From the very beginning, Mike welcomed us with such warmth when we stopped by for a last-minute tour back in March — we immediately knew this was the place for us. On the day of our wedding, everything ran so smoothly thanks to Mike, Nick, and Karey. They checked in with us throughout the day, made sure every detail was taken care of, and created the most magical atmosphere. Every single one of our guests commented on how beautiful the property was, how attentive the staff were, and how seamless the entire evening felt. A special thank you also to Serene — she worked tirelessly to bring our vision to life and went above and beyond in every way. This was truly the wedding of our dreams, and we are endlessly grateful to this incredible team for making it happen.
