An Outdoor Wedding Venue Kentucky Couples Actually Choose

Unlimited outdoor ceremony spaces, riverfront receptions, and a single wedding on property each weekend.

Dates fill quickly for peak weekends. Check live availability or speak with our innkeeper.

Why Riverside Inn

Outdoor weddings in Kentucky don't have to mean a state park pavilion or a farmer's field with a rented tent. They can mean a restored 1869 estate, a gazebo on a river bluff, and a wedding party that sleeps on property the night before.

That's what Riverside Inn is: a true outdoor venue with the infrastructure of an indoor one.

Unlimited outdoor ceremony spaces

The 1869 gazebo at the river bluff, an open garden lawn beside the inn, a heritage-tree grove, the riverfront overlook, or anywhere else on the grounds that catches your eye on the tour. We will set the aisle wherever you want to stand.

Wedding packages built around the outdoors

  • Intimate Wedding from $4,995 (up to 100 guests)

03

Photography opportunities

Gardens at golden hour, the river behind the gazebo, brick walls and ivy, the working barn, the open lawn beneath the trees. We rarely have photographers ask to leave the grounds for portraits.

04

Seasonal wedding notes

Spring: blossoms in the orchard, cool mornings. Summer: long sunsets, lush green. Fall: peak color along the river, the most-booked season. December Christmas weddings: candlelight, garland on the staircase, the inn at its most magical. A favorite all its own.

Frequently Asked

Questions guests ask

What outdoor ceremony spaces are available?

Effectively unlimited. The 1869 white gazebo at the river bluff, the mature garden lawn beside the inn, the open lawn beneath the heritage trees, the riverfront, and any other spot on the grounds that fits your vision. We will set the aisle wherever you want it.

What is the weather plan if it rains?

Select packages include a 40x60 tent with full sides that converts the open lawn into a covered reception space within hours. Indoor ceremony space is also available for smaller groups, and tent rental can be added to any package.

What's the best season for an outdoor wedding in Kentucky?

Peak season is May through June and September through October, when temperatures are mild and the gardens are at their best. We host outdoor weddings April through November, and our December candlelight Christmas weddings are a favorite all on their own.

How late can outdoor receptions run?

All events end by midnight per local regulations. Most receptions start with a 5pm ceremony and end with a sparkler send-off around 11pm.

Are there spots for great wedding photos on property?

Yes. The gazebo, the river bluff, the garden archways, the brick estate facade, the heritage trees, and the working barn all photograph beautifully without leaving the grounds.
