The Ashley Inn 

5.0

Lancaster, KY
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • 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.

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.

Belles Fleurs & Dessins did a fabulous job with my milestone birthday celebration. Her attention to detail and making my vision come to fruition helped with all my anxiety. Quality of her flowers were superb and they stayed fresh for weeks. Venue was just breathtaking with beautiful sunset views for perfect pictures. Grazing table was mind blowing and so pretty that we just wanted to keep looking and not eat. I would highly recommend for your next event. You won’t regret it!

Awarded Best of Zola
When we were choosing our wedding venue, we weren't sure we would ever find something that fit our vision. We wanted something intimate, laid back, with a ceremony focused on love. Up until we found Brenda and Pete, we thought that we would have to settle for a venue that felt disingenuous to us, with a ceremony that didn't reflect our values. When we discovered Terrapin Hill through a Google search, we knew we had to reach out. Scheduling a tour with Brenda was so easy, and she made us feel so at-ease with our decision. Once paperwork was complete, Brenda and Pete made the planning process SO easy, and we couldn't have been more grateful to them for all their guidance and help leading up to the day of. While communicating with Brenda, she even agreed to let both my mother and my mother-in-law into the venue half an hour early to set up decorations. We were married on May 15, 2025 at the Chapel, surrounded by our closest family and friends. Pete assisted us from the start to the end of the day, and was always nearby just in case. We were pleasantly surprised when Pete pulled up in his classic car and offered for it to be part of our ceremony, too! He drove my father and I up to our ceremony location, and then drove myself, my husband, and our photographer to our private vow location afterwards. Everything was absolutely stunning, and he helped the day run extra smoothly! We chose Terrapin Hill Farm based on the beauty of their location, the core values they reflect, their ceremony style, and the different packages they offer. Their excellent customer service and communication is just the cherry on top! We are so thankful to both Pete and Brenda for sharing their space with us, making us feel at-home, and giving us the perfect day to celebrate our love. We recommend Terrapin Hill Farm to any couples who are searching for their dream venue!

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. I absolutely recommend the Bluegrass Wedding Barn. They are the perfect wedding venue for anyone who wants a stress free wedding day in the gorgeous Kentucky countryside!

It 100% was worth every penny, but with the amount that’s included in their venue I can’t believe we didn’t spend 15k or more like all the other venues wanted. I had the perfect day as a bride and our guests were impressed! The food was amazing and made by the owners as well. I can’t recommend them enough!
