On WeddingWire since 2014
The Josephina Event Venue is a historic barn wedding venue located in Dry Ridge, Kentucky. The beautiful and rustic property is conveniently located between Cincinnati and Lexington, making it an ideal spot for those traveling for the big day. Dating back to 1872, the property has changed hands only a few times. As the current owners endeavor to honor its unique beauty and history, they began by naming the venue after its first owner, Mrs. Josephine Hogan.
Facilities and Capacity
This expansive property is ripe with greenery and scenic views for you and your guests to marvel at on the big day. From an outdoor ceremony amidst the verdant land to a reception held within the 4,000-square-foot white-washed barn, you can embrace beauty throughout your celebration. Outside, the ceremony area has a clear pathway for your aisle, leading to a simple white altar that can be brought to life with flowers and foliage. The barn has a spacious main level and an upper mezzanine that features chandeliers and wrought-iron railings, creating a rustic, romantic atmosphere. The Josephina Event Venue can seat up to 220 guests and has an attached warming kitchen for your convenience. Additionally, there are comfortable bathrooms and two preparation suites on-site, so everyone in your respective parties can enjoy the morning getting ready in style. These two separate quarters are quaint-yet-modern in style, and filled with natural light for those all-important getting-ready pictures.

They can provide you with a list of vendors they have previously worked with, but the choice is ultimately yours. When you book your wedding at this location you gain access to the property on the day of your wedding from morning until evening to ensure there is plenty of time to set up and tear down.

What to say. So many wonderful things about Josephina Event Venue. Large area for outside wedding and inside the barn is beautiful. If you are looking for out in the country barn venue Josephina should be in the running.

The Josephina is one of our favorite places to shoot, there are so many options for different looks to get wether it is a country feel, or rustic. The accommodations for the girls getting ready and the guys getting ready are so convenient so you aren't driving all around to get ready, and the anticipation of knowing your soon to be husband is just barley a half a mile away from you getting ready as well. Every time we have shot pictures at their location for a wedding everything has went so smooth and the pictures are just breathtaking. They are always making improvements to their location as well making it more and more up to date with what is popular! We love working with them and hope you look at their venue as a possible option, you will not regret it!
