Family luncheon for 20 people

The Wallis House in Paris Ky owned by the Garden Club of Kentucky is the perfect place for a family luncheon or brunch. The house is spacious and includes use of tables and chairs. The grounds are well maintained for outside use as well. The price in the off season is a bargain at $150 for 12 hours. At Christmas the house is beautifully decorated. Staff very easy to work with.

The Wallis Home is a beautiful location for a ceremony or reception. We had my reception there and it was absolutely perfect. We had about 300 guests so we rented a big tent and used lots of smaller canopies all around to cover the food table, the grill, etc. What is wonderful about the Wallis Home is that you have both indoor and outdoor spaces, so if your guest list is small enough you have a perfect rain plan built-in, and it allows people to get out of the heat.
Also, since we got married across the street at the First Presbyterian Church of Paris, and we had the house and garden all weekend, my girls and I got ready at the Wallis Home in one of the upstairs bedrooms. The rooms are beautiful, so they made for great photos, and spacious so we could all be together.
