Truly the most unique venue in Louisville. Our 12 acre property allows you the ability to feel immersed in nature, but still be within a couple miles of the expressway, and all that the city has to offer. We give couples the ability to host all of your wedding festivities in one location, taking the stress out of planning & hopping around town. We have 4 ceremony sites, a 2 acre pond, a 10,000 sq ft event center and 11 rental units that can accommodate up to 65 of your family & friends on site. When hosting guests on property with you, it allows you the ability to spend more quality time with those that traveled to enjoy your special day and extend that special day into the next morning. Tables & chairs come with your rental. We have a set for the ceremony and another set for the reception, so need to move any around. We have an open vendor policy and do not charge a facility fee.

We cannot say enough amazing things about this venue and the team that made our wedding day absolutely perfect! From the very beginning, Mike welcomed us with such warmth when we stopped by for a last-minute tour back in March — we immediately knew this was the place for us. On the day of our wedding, everything ran so smoothly thanks to Mike, Nick, and Karey. They checked in with us throughout the day, made sure every detail was taken care of, and created the most magical atmosphere. Every single one of our guests commented on how beautiful the property was, how attentive the staff were, and how seamless the entire evening felt. A special thank you also to Serene — she worked tirelessly to bring our vision to life and went above and beyond in every way. This was truly the wedding of our dreams, and we are endlessly grateful to this incredible team for making it happen. If you’re looking for a venue that combines breathtaking beauty, professionalism, and genuine care — this is the one.
