We highly recommend the incredible team at Pillow & Paddock! From the moment we arrived, we knew we had chosen the perfect venue for our intimate wedding. Pillow & Paddock is truly a gem, offering a unique blend of elegant charm and warm hospitality that made our special day even more magical than we could have imagined. We opted for the Intimate Wedding Package with Lodge Room ceremony and were absolutely blown away by the attention to detail. The Lodge Room was beautifully prepared for our ceremony, creating a romantic and intimate atmosphere that felt so personal and heartfelt. The warmth of the fireplace added such a special touch on a cold, snowy winter day. The accommodations were luxurious and comfortable, providing a relaxing haven for us amidst the excitement of the day. We also loved the unique touches like the speakeasy for a special evening drink and the fun 1920s movie theater. The breakfast the following morning was absolutely divine – a perfect start to our first day as a married couple. Our guests were equally enchanted by the beauty of the property and the unique charm of Pillow & Paddock. The added comfort and privacy of each beautifully appointed luxury suite, complete with its own pristine bathroom, truly enhanced their stay. It provided the perfect backdrop for our intimate celebration, allowing us to truly connect with our closest loved ones in a relaxed and beautiful setting. What truly set Pillow & Paddock apart was the exceptional service. They went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly and that we felt completely taken care of. Their genuine kindness and willingness to accommodate our needs made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. If you are considering a small, intimate wedding, we wholeheartedly recommend Pillow & Paddock. It's a truly special place with a team that is dedicated to making your day unforgettable. We will cherish the memories made here forever. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything. Sincerely, Libby & Tom Newlyweds!

21c: A modern, timeless, and elegant place to exhibit your love. Our 11:11 wishes came true when we exchanged our vows at 21c Museum Hotel this past November 11th. We hosted a private ceremony surrounded by our closest family members. The event was simple, intimate, and quite honestly–perfect. We were looking for a venue that fit our not so traditional vibe. The location, 21c, provided the most magical backdrop and we immediately knew it was the perfect place to host our #micromony. After visiting the solarium and surrounding galleries in person, we could so visualize our wedding taking place here and it felt like a dream come true. Danielle staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly so we could truly soak up the day. Their grace expertise were so appreciated during this overwhelming, beautiful slightly stressful time. Cheers to an everlasting marriage filled with happiness, laughter and lots of #LiegibelLove.

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.

Karrikin Spirits Company is a Cincinnati based craft distillery and event space in Fairfax, committed to exploring our love of flavors with the community. By definition, karrikins are the elements found in the smoke from a forest fire that trigger the regeneration of that forest. In the centuries since Whiskey Hollow was settled, those karrikins have been at work to bring distilling back to this very location on Cincinnati’s east side. In Spring of 2017, seven founding members with experience in brewing & distilling, woodworking, design, and more came together to purchase a building formerly occupied by Swallen’s and later, DnD Metal to start a journey of flavor and fire. From there, Karrikin Spirits Company was formed — a full-service, grain to glass distillery producing handcrafted spirits, sparkling spirits, non-alcoholic sodas, and beer. If you are interested in booking with us, please contact us directly. Details on how to reach us is found on our website.
