Wedding Venues in Lexington

My experience with Griffin Gate was wonderful. From the beginning their staff has always been very responsive and able to answer any of my questions. For the kind of venue that this is, I feel like they are fairly priced and they include a lot of incentives. Originally, we were only holding our reception at Griffin Gate, but about a month and a half out from our wedding we asked if we could have our reception there as well due to our church not being able to host the amount of guests that we had due to Covid. Griffin Gate was under fewer restrictions and allowed us to have our entire wedding at their venue. They made this process seamless. One of my favorite things about the planning process with Griffin Gate is the tasting event that they hold. Their food is absolutely scrumptious and they have out a lot of examples for various reception items. The tasting was very helpful and reenergized me about our planning process. Due to Covid there were some slight changes, but overall we were able to have the wedding that we wanted. Jenna and Paige were fantastic, and very helpful. Jenna almost always answered my emails very quickly and responded to everything that I touched upon in the emails. She made the last few weeks of planning very smooth, and always kept me in the loop. I would highly recommend this venue!

We had our ceremony and reception here and it was beautiful and perfect. Their event staff are all so helpful and do all they can to ensure your day is amazing.

The Apiary provided us the the most magical wedding and beyond what we could have ever dreamed! The venue gardens and interior are so beautiful and offer perfect spaces for every aspect- ceremony, cocktail hour, photos, reception, and send off- absolutely no need to move your guests or wedding party around to different locations. Everyone at our wedding was from out of town so the convenient location to many hotel options and after party spots made transportation seamless. The entire culinary experience was second to none- I mean several guests mentioned the lobster roll appetizer and trout almondine we offered was the best they have ever had (including very high end restaurants). And the bar- Ty (super wonderful) worked with us to create a craft cocktail menu that was just incredible. 9 months later and we still get unsolicited comments about how fantastic and up-scale the bar and cocktails were. We actually used their in-house floral and decor option as we fell in love when visiting for dinner months before and couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out- Mea is just so wonderfully creative and she hit the nail on the head with features so unique. Ewing Anne was so helpful throughout the entire process- from our initial contact to tour the venue and providing all the information and answering all my questions throughout out the planning process, having her as a point of contact really helped make sure my vision came to life. In summary, the Apiary is just such a special place that clearly takes pride in what they do. As an out of town bride, I was so thankful they offered options to take care of many aspects- ceremony, photo, and reception location, in-house food and bar that is second-to-none, and floral & decor that enhanced the space perfectly. It was certainly the best wedding I’ve ever been to, but I’ve heard that from countless guests also.

We were pleased with the event

Our daughter was recently married at The Club at UK Spindletop Hall, and the entire experience was absolutely perfect! The venue itself is stunning—full of character, charm, and history. The beautiful 1930s architecture, the variety of unique rooms, and the overall ambiance created the most elegant backdrop for such a special day. But what truly set this venue apart was Rebecca Dietterick and her incredible team. From start to finish, every staff member was exceptional. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made the day seamless. They accommodated every request, anticipated our needs, and handled every detail so we never had to worry about a thing. Their patience and friendliness made us feel cared for and completely at ease. We are deeply grateful for the graciousness and hospitality shown to our family. Thanks to this wonderful team, our daughter’s wedding day was joyful, beautiful, and entirely stress-free. I give this venue 5 stars and highly recommend it to anyone considering hosting a wedding or private event. It was truly an unforgettable experience!

The venue is beautiful and historic. Even though you are locked in to their vendor for catering, everyone we talked to had nothing but great things to say about Bayou Bluegrass's catering. Our DJ who had done many many weddings at their venues said he had never had a bad meal from them - and they definitely lived up to the expectations set by everyone! The food was great, the catering staff were wonderful and friendly. The only complaint we could make is that the signature drinks we picked tasted quite different from the ones we had at the tasting event, but they were still good. Also, not a complaint, but the floor is rough and similar to a concrete tennis court surface which is great for traction but also can be rough on shoes during dancing, so keep that in mind when selecting shoes for the event! Allison helped us with planning and helped us work out all the details. Helaina was our on site manager for the event, and she was equally amazing.

Everything was perfect - from start to finish. Jill and her staff are wonderful, super helpful, professional, and really great people. The venue is gorgeous, the barn was absolutely stunning, and everything was super clean and well-maintained. Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful everything looked. You don't even need to add much decor to the barn because it's so beautiful as it is. The price is also very reasonable, which we really appreciated. Oh, and the wine is SO GOOD!! I am looking forward to going back for a visit & more wine!

Doubletrees Richmond Rd. Lexington KY. Front desk was so accommodating to our guest. A lot of people reserved late. Keenland and rival football game during that time so that was a big plus for me.

Abby was so helpful when we were planning our wedding! She was easy to get in touch with and always worked directly with us to ensure that our questions and concerns were answered. We did have an issue where onsite construction was ongoing during our wedding when it was supposed to be completed before our date. Abby worked with us on this to ensure that we would still have a good experience. Bryna was also very helpful when we were navigating our room block. The hotel staff were very helpful during our events and did a great job overall. Would recommend as a venue!

We could not say better things about our wedding at the Carrick House! The venue is stunning, but the time and energy they put into your event is even better. We primarily worked with Summer, who truly bends over backwards to personalize any detail to you. Not only was every detail executed to perfection, they even added things they knew we'd love (passed margaritas, yes please)!! The staff was so kind to every guest, but truly bent over backwards whenever they saw me/my husband and we could not have asked for a better evening. Food was SO GOOD too!
