We loved our wedding venue!!

We fell in love with The Carrick House the second we walked in the doors! From the professional staff to the incredible food, we had such a great experience and truly couldn’t have asked for better. The house and ballroom are absolutely gorgeous and the proximity to downtown is awesome! The Carrick House is a well oiled machine and the staff is incredible at hosting events from start to finish. Being from out of state, they were a great resource for finding other vendors, as well! We really enjoyed working with Paige. She super helpful and accommodating, not to mention so sweet! All of the food was delicious, and we had such a great time at the tasting! We absolutely loved our venue and can’t say enough great things about it! Thank you, Carrick House!!!

Our Happy Place

Born and raised in Lexington, I always dreamed of getting married at this gorgeous venue! What a dream come true! It was simply "magical" from beginning to end and picture perfect! The staff was extremely accommodating and my husband and I are already planning to celebrate our 1 year anniversary here! 2020 will definitely be a year to remember, thanks to The Carrick House!

Wedding reception

Our wedding reception was perfect. The Carrick House staff was incredibly responsive to all my questions during my year of wedding planning. The Christmas decorations were put up just in time for my reception which made the reception even more special. The Carrick House is beautiful and our reception was perfect.

The Best of the Best

Absolutely outstanding in every way imaginable! We held our wedding at the Carrick House in June 2018, and could not have had a more positive experience. Our ceremony was held on the lawn, with our reception in the ball room. You will not find a more beautiful venue, or more competent/professional staff anywhere else in the Central Kentucky area. The staff at Lundy's did everything they could to make our day perfect. Little details such as bringing water/wine to our guests pre-ceremony, and running two buffet lines simultaneously really showed professionalism and forethought . The food was phenomenal. So many of our guests commented that it was the best catered meal they had ever had! The serves and bartenders did their job with professionalism and seemed to blend seamlessly into the background. We are so thankful that we chose The Carrick House for our special day!

Wedding Reception

Words cannot express the gratitude I have for the Carrick House and the staff. Everything was EXACTLY what I wanted and it was the most beautiful reception I could have ever dreamed of. Laura, our coordinator went above and beyond for me!

I toured at least ten wedding venues in Lexington & in my opinion nothing compared to the Carrick House in terms of beauty & service. We were married on the lawn of the Carrick House & had our cocktail hour & reception inside. The staff was incredible, the food was amazing and the bartenders were great. I wouldn't change a single thing.

All of my guests complimented how stress-free & perfectly orchestrated our day was & I attribute this to Katherine, the Carrick House event coordinator. She was a life-saver & I felt completely calm and taken care of with her present. From the moment we arrived at the rehearsal I knew Katherine was in control & that I could finally relax & hand over the reigns to her.

Our wedding day was truly beyond my expectations & I am so glad we chose the Carrick House.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
