About
Avonley Homestead is an event barn and wedding venue in the heart of Shelbyville, Kentucky. This rustically elegant property features expansive grounds, a barn for weddings, and space for celebrating ceremonies and receptions; it would be ideal for a pastoral getaway.
Facilities and Capacity
Avonley Homestead has indoor and outdoor areas that can accommodate a range of festivities. For the iconic moment when the happy couple become newlyweds, the lush green landscape offers several places that would be very suitable. An arbor can easily be set up for the nearlyweds to stand at as they say their vows in the open air. The couple's chosen photographer can capture couple portraits of the just-married pair as they pose around the grounds. The cocktail hour promises more fun and memories as the wedding party begins to mix and mingle with each other. As the afternoon drifts towards the early evening, the barn awaits as somewhere inviting and cozy for the reception revelries to begin. The barn may be entered through the large sliding doors or from the porch via another doorway. Wooden features, high ceilings, exposed beams, and a spacious build define this stunning location. Tables and chairs can easily be arranged for approximately 100 guests to sit, relax, and enjoy a culinary adventure. The adjoining porch provides somewhere secluded for guests to move to for fresh air as the evening blends into the night. In truth, this romantic and provincial setting would be fitting for intimate and low-key celebrations.

Avonley Homestead offers one-day or two-day packages, including on-site rehearsal and a 30-minute planning revisit. Rentals include 12 farmhouse-style wooden tables, additional folding tables, two get-ready suites, an open-vendor policy, three guest restrooms, and on-site parking for approximately 60 cars. Some Avonley Homestead rental add-ons include chairs, cleanup, limited linens, and a personal assistant to bounce ideas off.
