About

On WeddingWire since 2016

The Hidden Homestead is a country wedding venue in Smiths Grove, Kentucky. A classic barn venue, it combines rugged style with modern facilities, allowing guests to celebrate in style and comfort. A versatile property it offers multiple spaces in which to host a sizable gathering of friends and family. Surrounded by lush woodland, parties will feel secluded from the outside world and close to nature. Lying between Louisville and Nashville the venue is convenient and accessible. As such, it is served by two International Airports, making it a great choice for couples with guests arriving from far and wide.

Facilities and Capacity

The Hidden Homestead is an expansive venue that offers to-be-weds a world of choice when planning their big day. Couples can choose to host their ceremony in one of several outdoor sites. They can choose to say “I do” under the shelter of an elegant lakeside gazebo, which can be decorated by string lighting and a chandelier. For a more laid-back ceremony, The Archway is an ideal choice. Adjacent to The Barn, it is a simple site that overlooks the lake and can be styled according to the taste of those stepping down the aisle. The Wooded Wedding is a truly magical setting, offering to-be-weds the chance to exchange vows in a peaceful glade. Afterward, guests can retreat to the shelter of the barn for an unforgettable reception. The space includes central heating and air-conditioning to ensure the party is comfortable from start to finish. There is also a fully-equipped kitchen that makes organizing catering easy. The property also includes golf carts for getting to The Barn from any of the ceremony sites. Stylish furniture is featured with the rental of the venue, including vintage tables and chairs. There is ample parking available on-site.

Services Offered

The Hidden Homestead’s management is proud to welcome couples to the venue. They provide support throughout the wedding experience, and can offer assistance organizing DJs, hair and makeup stylists, and catering.

Scott is everything all rolled into one.

Scott Skaggs owns and operates this venue. Scott has been a wedding photographer for a long time and he talked to different brides and built the perfect venue. A beautiful rustic barn with a little pond. The barn is two stories and has a suite for both the bride and bridesmaids, also the groom and groomsmen. You have the option to spend the night at the venue or in a bridal cottage we chose to stay in the venue and had the best time.

Best Wedding Ever!!

The venue is absolutely beautiful. Scott had all the decorations for center pieces, the arch and much more. The venue, the scenery, and everything that can come with the venue if you choose is absolutely amazing. I couldn’t have had a better wedding anywhere else!
