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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Outdoor wedding weekends from April through December (including our Christmas candlelight dates) book 12 to 18 months in advance. Schedule a tour or request a quote today.
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.
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.
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.
All events end by midnight per local regulations. Most receptions start with a 5pm ceremony and end with a sparkler send-off around 11pm.
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.
