White Wall On Lawn

The historic features on a wall of white, aged brick allow your gorgeous flower arrangements to pop and keep the main attraction (you!) at the center of attention. Allowing a moment of modern simplicity to mix with classic charm, this location sets the perfect frame for your guests to view your important day.

CLUSTERs OF TREES ON THE LAWN

If you’re looking for a breathtaking location for a garden ceremony, we have the perfect spot with several clusters of mature trees as a backdrop. Drape the trees in your favorite colors, place your flower hung arbor in front of the cluster or embrace nature and allow the trees to create their own drama. This location is sure to wow all of your guests.

THE FRONT OF THE EVENT BARN

Have your guests sit beneath the shade of Kentucky native trees with the magnificent Event Barn as your ceremony backdrop. The transition to and from this location is seamless from the parking lot, to the interior of the Event Barn to other locations on the lawn and provides convenience and beauty in one package.
