My wife and I hired Julia for our wedding in 2022, and we couldn't recommend her enough! She was communicative throughout the entire planning process and was exactly where she needed to be on the day without taking away unnecessary time and attention, letting us experience our special day to the fullest. Her experience shows in both the quality of her work and the support she provides on the day. She checked in with us and showed us photos after scheduled shoots, and even guided us to an isolated spot for an intimate moment together after she noticed we could use a breather before getting back to the festivities. Our photos arrived promptly and perfectly encapsulated our day. Every photo was stunning and not a single moment was missed. Julia was, without a doubt, the best hiring decision we made for our wedding - we couldn't recommend her enough!

Wiedemann Hill Mansion

  • Venue
  • Up to 62 guests

Wiedemann Hill Mansion is an intimate wedding venue that can accommodate up to 62 guests. We offer beautiful indoor and outdoor ceremony options and a gorgeous backdrop filled with rich history for you and guests to enjoy.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Provides event staff
  • Handles all cleanup logistics
  • Exudes old-world charm

Venue considerations

  • On-site parking not available
  • Not wheelchair accessible
The first thing we knew we wanted out of a venue was a small size - we didn't want more than 60 people in attendance. We picked this location initially with the guest count being are only criteria, but we were almost immediately surprised by so much more. The view, the gorgeous interiors, and the rich history were all things that finally led us to choose this as our venue for our wedding. But, above all else, was the venue owner - Roger Swonger. He went above and beyond to make our day as special as it possibly could be, and with his help, our wedding day went absolutely perfect. With just one planning session, and a couple of tours, Roger was able to guide us through the perfect day. He communicated well with all of the vendors, was able to provide an amazing wait staff, and bartender, and even thought of the small details - placing some flowers on our small wedding cake, putting a pen by the guest book, etc. Most importantly to us, as a now husband and husband duo, was finding a venue that was accepting. This was Roger to a tee - not only did he treat us with kindness, he guided us towards other LGBTQ friendly vendors as well. With his support and guidance, we had a wedding that completely surpassed our exceptions of what a wedding could ever look like in an area like Kentucky. I don't think there is any universe where we could have had a better wedding, and this is all thanks to Roger, and all thanks to having our wedding ceremony at Wiedemann Hill Mansion.

  • Starts at $2,250
  • Serves Newport, KY
  • Offer

Douglas Adam Entertainment is a wedding Traveling DJ business based out of Cincinnati, OH. Owner Doug and his team delight in helping couples throughout the metropolitan area and nationwide celebrate their special days. Douglas Adam Entertainment is driven by passion first and foremost.

Doug and Andrew made the best team at our wedding! We met Doug at a bridal show a year and a half before our wedding and liked him immediately. He really wants to help you create a wedding that is special and meaningful to you - not a cookie-cutter wedding with package after package he's trying to upsell you on. We were delighted when Doug told us that his partner, Andrew, was moving back to the area and would be working with him at our wedding. Doug talked with us several times throughout our planning process to help us think through the reception - specifically the flow and the feeling of each moment. At our final detail meeting, Doug and Andrew helped us finalize and ramp up some ideas we had been working on (rating speeches using giant numbers that the bridal party held up, us-themed bar trivia during dinner, kiss cam instead of traditional glass-clinking kisses) and also gave us options to add on his Freedom Sticks (party lighting to help make the room/dance floor fun) and several Polaroid cameras and a book to store the pictures in. We took advantage of both and were so happy we did! On the day of the event, Doug took the role of MC and walking around the room to get pictures of people/get everyone involved and Andrew took on the role of primary DJ. Together, they were such a fun team that really brought the party to life! We had SO MANY compliments on how fun they were and I have recommended them to all of my friends with upcoming weddings!! They perfectly matched our vibe to the music and worked hard to make sure that everyone had a great time. If you're looking for a DJ that cares about you as a couple and can bring the party, look no further!

While learning the art of floral design at a local Cincinnati florist many years ago, I quickly realized how much I enjoyed working on wedding florals! I love the fact that there's nothing but happiness and joy on wedding days. So, for several years, I learned and appreciated different techniques taught to me by my co-workers. As a mom of two though, the time came for me to work from home to accommodate my kids schedules. Fortunately, I was blessed with a few people who gave me a chance on their weddings, and after a few things were figured out, A Little Bit of Green by Lisa was created!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband, Tyler, and I got married at Ault Park Pavilion on 5/27/23 and we were so lucky to have Lisa as our florist. Lisa was incredible to work with. She was responsive, creative, flexible and easy-going. To save money, I considered using dried flowers for our wedding, but Lisa's prices were so reasonable we decided to go with fresh flowers and honestly, thank goodness we did. Lisa immediately got my style, which was a bit boho and less refined. She created a greenery crown for me that made all of my Greek goddess dreams come true :) She knew our venue well and helped us realize that we did not want an arbor (which would've blocked the view) and instead suggested 2 arrangements on either side of our officients- and they were goreous! We had some specific requests, like a flower crown for our flower girl, a special momento attached to my bridal bouquet and some eucalypus garland on our sweetheart table. We even tossed in a little "The Munroes" wooden sign that she attached to the garland last minute, no questions asked! :) Lisa made multiple stops on our big day to my parents house, where the girls got ready and to our venue. If you are able to book Lisa, you've just hit the jackpot! :)

All of her pricing was transparent and she was thorough with us. The venue offered the history and charm we were looking for at a decent price and Mica gave us the peace of mind by being our day of coordinator. I loved that we were all able to get ready on site and never saw each other until our first look. We also enjoyed that she has a secluded vip area for us right after the ceremony so we could take a few minutes to breathe before the reception. She helped through the decor process and was very timely with communication, especially as we were planning from 500 miles away. We are so grateful for her and her team.

My passion for photography likely stems from my ability to capture moments that evoke emotion and tell stories. It's a powerful medium for connecting with people and expressing creativity. Any couple should pick me as their photographer because of my ability to capture genuine moments, create timeless images, and provide a personalized experience that reflects their unique love story.

Bailey was with us very step of our journey. She did our engagement photos and our wedding photos. She was so professional and amazing and fun. I’m not the type to want my pictures taken but she made me feel so beautiful the entire day. And the pictures breathe taking. And my favorite she gets them back to your in a timely manner. She will be the only one taking our family photos for now on.

  • Has a dance floor for celebration
  • Allows pets

Venue considerations

  • No all-inclusive dining options
  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Venue feels large for events with small guest lists
Whispering Hearts Event Center was an amazing venue for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Lauren and her family were laid-back, helpful and incredibly friendly. They made everything feel so easy and anticipated needs that we didn't think of, and even provided us with a sweet customized gift that was completely unexpected. The property is absolutely beautiful, with lots of great spots outside for guests and photos, so we were able to keep the decor simple and let the natural setting shine. The venue is truly relatively affordable considering the size of the building (we had 130 guests and plenty of space without it feeling too empty), the scheduling (we had the venue from 9am to midnight!), and amenities (an amazing kitchen with plenty of fridge and oven space, ice on site, a bar with ample fridge space, plenty of parking, etc.). We couldn't be happier with our decision to have our special day at Whispering Hearts and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an stress-free, beautiful wedding experience. We also utilized the on-site rental house and were SO happy with our decision!
