While there are many beautiful venues in the area to choose from, I would strongly recommend the Silo's to anyone searching for a venue in Western KY. The staff are phenomenal and are so responsive in any way. They are more than willing to answer any questions or even provide suggestions, if needed. The facility itself is gorgeous. It is really the best of both worlds - modern conveniences with rustic elegance. We had good size wedding party of about 175 people and it we still had plenty of room for dancing, DJ, photo booths, bars, head tablet, buffet and appetizers and dessert table. They also have a beautiful bridal house to use the day of for hair and makeup and the men have a huge area for getting ready as well. I couldn't have asked for anything better!

The attention to detail by Josie Fickes, our wedding coordinator, in accomplishing our theme of elegant, rustic Italian and intimate group seating was perfect! I can't say enough about how professional, kind and responsive Josie was in making our vision come true! The menu selection is delicious. It will be hard to decide what you want. Our selections were delicious. Our guests are still talking about how good the food was. I have to comment on how nice it is to work with a coordinator that knows the vendors in the area to help you achieve your theme and have the best night you can for your guests. Additionally, the servers were excellent and really made our guests feel special. They go out of their way to help and attend to everyone!

I recently had the pleasure of working at a wedding held at Harper Hall in downtown Lexington, and I have to say, this venue is an absolute gem! From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. What truly sets Harper Hall apart, though, is the staff. Every member of the team was professional, attentive, and incredibly helpful. They went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, and it was clear they were committed to making the day special for everyone involved. The level of coordination and attention to detail was impressive—from setting up the space to managing timelines and making sure every need was met. As someone who works at events often, it’s not every day I come across a venue that combines such a beautiful setting with a team that genuinely cares about the success of the event. If you're considering a place for your wedding or any other special occasion, I can't recommend Harper Hall enough. It’s a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a memorable experience in a prime downtown location!

We were married at Hotel Covington in September 2024 and it was hands down one of the best decisions we have ever made. We knew we wanted a fully outdoor wedding with food and drink provided on-site, and HC provided exactly that. I could go on forever about how wonderful every single person was – Ashley was amazing getting us started with HC, then seamlessly handed us over to Riley who was with us until the day of the wedding. The staff was attentive to our needs, and we were so bummed when the night was over. All our guests (including our sweet doggie) felt incredibly welcome. We have officially made it a point to visit Hotel Covington every few months for drinks, and plan to stay there again for our anniversary. Thank you to the entire team at HC : )

Mica and the whole staff at The Windamere really made our wedding better than we could’ve imagined. From the beginning, Mica was very straightforward and honest. All of her pricing was transparent and she was thorough with us. The venue offered the history and charm we were looking for at a decent price and Mica gave us the peace of mind by being our day of coordinator. I loved that we were all able to get ready on site and never saw each other until our first look. We also enjoyed that she has a secluded vip area for us right after the ceremony so we could take a few minutes to breathe before the reception. She helped through the decor process and was very timely with communication, especially as we were planning from 500 miles away. We are so grateful for her and her team.

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 were so happy that we choose this venue. Whenever we had a question, ​Megan and Braidyn were quick to answer and so helpful. The best part is that they were helpful in picking the table decor. I was confused and lost and having their help plus being able to use their decor was a lifesaver. We wanted a Slytherin Harry Potter-themed wedding and they made that dream come true. They are truly the best ever!

This venue is absolutely gorgeous, and I am still getting complements on the venue and the food provided by the venue to this day. They really went above and beyond to make my day special and handled every issue that came up without bothering me with it. It was raining the day of and they made the decision to move the ceremony from the outside ceremony site to under their tent, which I was a little upset about (obviously the weather is no one’s fault, it was just unfortunate timing) and about 30 minutes before the ceremony it had stopped raining and the venue and their team moved the whole ceremony back outside! They moved all of my decorations and had everything set up beautifully before we started. The staff were also amazing and super helpful and attentive all throughout the night. They really include a lot in their packages and I couldn’t have asked for more from them. Jeremy did our ceremony and it was beautiful and really heartfelt. I won’t be having a wedding any time soon (haha) but I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who wants to have a smooth, beautiful wedding.

My Old Kentucky Barn 

5.0

Williamstown, KY
  • Up to 214 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor & indoor
  • Starts at $2,500

My Old Kentucky Barn is a new venue in an old tobacco barn. The 1800’s barn is situated on over 50 acres on Main Street in Williamstown, Kentucky. Our owner John grew up in Williamstown and, along with his brother Mike, spent a lot of time painting the white board fence and planting Canna bulbs in the spring. John is only the fourth owner of the property in 180 years. The Webb Family were the longest running owners. In fact, they donated land from the property to form Webb Park to the south. John and Edna Risen purchased the property in 1976 and sold it to John over 15 years ago. There is so much history here and we are excited that others can now enjoy the barn. Even though the outside of the barn looks new, all of the old detail is still there on the inside. We know that brides and grooms will make great memories here with their families. It will also be the perfect venue for milestone birthday parties, reunions and other memorable events.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Dressing room available
  • Wheelchair accessible
  • Has an intimate atmosphere

Venue considerations

  • No in-house lighting and sound packages available

The wedding was perfect for our wedding and reception. Our family and friends were welcomed by a beautiful wedding and venue. The staff was very helpful in set up and clean-up. The venue made our special day even more special! There was plenty of room for our approximately 125 guests, the caterer and the music DJ. We would highly recommend My Old Kentucky Barn for your special day.

LockRidge Park was the perfect venue for our wedding. The staff was very easy to communicate with, and the owners live just minutes away, so they were always available to help. The park itself has multiple options for an indoor or outdoor wedding, and it also has several places for the bridal party or guests to stay overnight. They were kind enough to teach us how to properly use any equipment that came with our wedding package, and Brian even used his drone to capture a video of our wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we highly recommend LockRidge Park to any couple planning their big day.
