Louisville Water Tower is a historic venue in Louisville, Kentucky. With original architecture, a brass spiral staircase, and spectacular views overlooking the Ohio River, this venue is an ideal location for wedding ceremonies, receptions, and elopements, as well as engagement parties and rehearsal dinners.

Please note that to meet the “towering expectations” of the future, Louisville Water Tower is undergoing major renovations during 2023. The work is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2023. When it reopens, guests will enjoy a stylish, versatile, and acoustic-friendly indoor facility, and they will enjoy a breathtakingly beautiful historic tower, restored to its original elegance.

Louisville Water Tower looks forward to welcoming wedding and event bookings for 2024.
