Need help finding a good place for an outside wedding or in a building with a garden?

Question

I live near crestwood ky and am looking for a place not to far away that I could have a wedding at. We were thinking of Yew Dell Gardens in the Gheens Barn http://www.yewdellgardens.org/photo_gallery/gallery_id-117/stage-view

or on the Lath House Lawn with the Holly Allee,

But they are a bit too expensive. I like the outside garden idea but then there is the possiblity of rain so maybe have it in a building with a garden outside that pictures could be taken at. Does anyone happen to know of any other places near by that we could check out preferably less than the $3,000 yew dell is charging? we are looking to have it either in the fall or in spring. Thanks

Answer 1

Check out your local state parks, botanical gardens, or butterfly conservancies.  Or hit up your parents' friends.  A friend of mine got married in her parents' friend's back yard, bc they have a beautiful lake view and flower beds.

Answer 2

ok, I googled your area and came up with a few places.

this first one is called Whitehall house (in Louisville-not sure how far away that is) and it's beautiful!!! they have a formal garden where a wedding can be held. below is the link to look at the garden pics and also has rates for rental for a wedding (didn't look too bad)

Locust Grove (also in louisville)

also in crestwood. you would need to bring in a catering company and rent some tents for your reception but the rental cost is only 150.00!!
