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.

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.
