Taylor Mansion – A Perfect Wedding Weekend Stay
We hosted our wedding at the Taylor Mansion in Newport, KY, and stayed there with 11 guests over three nights—it was truly the perfect venue and home for such a special occasion. The mansion itself is a stunning historic property built in 1837, and staying there felt like stepping into a piece of history. Yet, it’s fully updated with modern amenities that made our stay incredibly comfortable. The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped, ideal for cooking for a large group, and the generous counter space made buffet-style meals easy to serve. The living areas are cozy and inviting, and the bathrooms are absolutely luxurious—especially the main bedroom’s shower with its multiple jets, which felt like a spa experience. There was plenty of room for all our guests to spread out and relax, and the Taylor Mansion team was incredibly responsive and helpful. When we had a minor issue with the disposal, they had someone out the next morning to fix it—no stress at all. As a wedding venue, the Taylor Mansion exceeded every expectation. Their team handled all the setup, including table layout and chair selection, and even brought in a cleaner before the event to ensure everything was perfect. They were available throughout the day for any questions or last-minute needs, which gave us peace of mind to truly enjoy the celebration. We held our ceremony on the first-floor balcony, which offered beautiful views and a romantic atmosphere. The old office was transformed into our dance floor, and the built-in sound system made it easy to play our Spotify playlist for the ceremony, dinner, and dancing. One of the standout features was the vintage wooden bar with a brass foot rail—it added so much character to the reception space. We chose Kate Catering, one of their preferred vendors, and the food was absolutely phenomenal. Their staff was professional, friendly, and helped elevate the entire experience. Whether you're looking for a unique and elegant wedding venue or a place to host a memorable group stay, Taylor Mansion is a true gem. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
