    Talon Winery was the PERFECT venue for our wedding!

    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!

    Best Wedding Day Ever!

    Talon exceeded our expectations. We were blown away by the beauty and convenience of the venue (as well as the AC), the ease with placing orders and contacting staff, as well as the general experience from start-to-finish. Jill is EXCEPTIONAL and made our day a breeze. We highly recommend Talon and could not speak more highly of our day. (Photo by Morgan Snellings Photography)

    Wedding experience

    I personally thought this Venue was beautiful and we was very excited to get married here the problem we had was, we rented the bridal suite until 7 and we ended up having to change in the bathroom outside the venue instead of the bridal suite because they moved our stuff without our knowledge to clean the room before 6 o’clock

    The Perfect Bluegrass Bridal Shower Venue

    I hosted my bridal shower at the Monarch Pavilion in August 2022. It was the perfect place for a shower of about 40 people. Excellent price, location, and wine!

    Easy planning with lots of options

    Talon is a hidden gem of a venue. Jill was helpful throughout the entire process. We liked that we had a backup plan if it rained. For the bride that doesn’t want to travel day of for things, this is the place for you! We rented the bridal suite where the bridal party was able to get ready. We had hair and makeup come to us. We had our outdoor ceremony at the arbor in the vineyard. Our reception was in the barn which had a/c. If it was going to rain or too hot we could’ve had our ceremony in the barn. We had to purchase the alcohol through them and could only have beer, wine and hard seltzer due to liquor license. When it was all decorated it was absolutely beautiful. The venue is very vendor friendly.

    Beautiful venue helpful staff

    Talon provided the most beautiful reception venue. The drive to the winery shows the out of state guest the beauty of KY horse farms, then when guests arrive, the rolling hills and ponds on the property are stunning. The twinkle lights in the barn give such a great aesthetic for dinner and dancing. The staff was also really helpful the whole process! Jill was super understanding to us while we figured out the wedding planning process. One thing we had to let go of when choosing Talon was having hard liquor. Since it is a winery you are only able to have malt beverages and their wine. It turned out fine because guests will drink what you give them!

    Awesome experience

    The venue at talon winery was beautiful and just what my daughter was looking for to celebrate her special day. Jill was awesome to work with- she readily answered all of our questions; would meet with us with limited notice when needed and would arrange for us to look at the venue as needed. The staff that worked the wedding were friendly and helpful as well. All around great experience- nothing but good things to say!

    Beautiful Rustic Charm

    Jill was Amazing and can help with any of your needs or any ideas or concerns you have. She isn't a day of coordinator but she pretty much she be because she is always responsive. This place is beautiful and needs very little to bring it to life for a wedding. There is plenty of dance room and it is super Romantic. We loved that we could purchase the 2 cases of wine required and just save it for later instead of serving it because pur family isn't big drinkers. Talon has the best wine though!

    Deanna Dillender, Great Expectations, wedding planner

    I am a wedding planner who has worked at Talon many times. This venue is wonderful, easy to work with and always so clean and in good order. We worked with Jill Mahan on this last event and it was smooth as planned. She is so professional and quick to respond to questions during the planning process. Highly recommended!

    We Love Talon

    If you want a large venue that can be indoors and outdoors and a flexible staff, Talon is your place. Jill is incredibly easy to work with, and I could call, text or email her whenever I needed. The best part is, they are super flexible! From letting us see the venue multiple times prior to our wedding to getting our favorite local beers at the bar, it's awesome. Their flexibility with catering and decorations allowed us to create a wedding that was true to us, not a cookie cutter experience. Very important to my husband was the fact that the barn has AC. We were able to get married outside, but inside or on the patio would've been beautiful as well. It was only 10 minutes away from our host hotel, so it was easy for guests. We love Talon!

    Event coordinator & bartenders are the best!

    Jill M makes having your wedding at Talon so easy! She responded to my questions quickly and at various times of the day. I wish she could've been my day-of coordinator because she is that organized and efficient.
    The bartenders were extremely familiar with the clean-up process and helped our families ensure we left Talon in its previous condition.
    They are happy to answer questions and genuinely seems they love their jobs!

    Talon Winery & Vineyards's reply:

    Ramsey....you were an absolute doll to work with and we wish you both a lifetime of happiness and fond memories of your special day at Talon Winery!

    Fantastic venue, beautiful views

    Two venue options, one for a large wedding and one for the smaller headcount. We had 55 guests so we used the smaller area. Talon's wedding/ event planner (Jill) was very professional and worked closely with us on all the details from the winery's perspective. The setup was fantastic - white chairs in the grass looking out into the vineyard. We had our reception in the Monarch Pavilion which is about 50yds from our wedding site. This was great for everyone as they didn't have to drive/ move cars. After the ceremony our guests walked over and started happy hour while we finished our pictures. The Pavilion was also our ceremony backup plan in case of rain. The open environment of both locations minimized the potential impacts of COVID. Jill/ Talon are very flexible on the exact location for your wedding - there are wonderful views in every direction. Extensive beer list and variety of Talon wines available which must be purchased from Talon. Hard liquor is not authorized on-site.

    Talon was a great location for our wedding. It had the space and the charm we were looking for. Staff was great throughout the process, even with things changing daily due to C19.
