We had a beautiful wedding at Hotel Covington and overall were elated with how it turned out. Riley was easy and professional to work with as our details specialist, but it felt like other staff members were never quite on the same page. There were miscommunications about so many things I can't even remember them all— no space for the groomsmen to get ready in although that was offered at the time we booked the venue, garage parking was not included although we were told it would be, when we showed up for the rehearsal the staff thought we were having a dinner not our rehearsal and was not prepared for us to be in the space as another wedding was going on on the patio, there was an "event hold" above the cost of the room placed on our credit card which would have been fine, but we were not told about it in advance. All in all, not being told what to expect was our biggest issue. Paying for garage parking, not having the space for the groom's party to get ready, the credit card hold all would have been totally fine and reasonable, but it felt like that information was intentionally omitted. (Again, there was more than that, but I waited a little too long to write this review and can't remember it all at this point.) On the flip side, the staff at Hotel Covington were extremely proactive and helpful with my dad, who has mobility issues. They provided a wheelchair for him to use on-site and staff members went above and beyond to help him when he really needed it. I am eternally grateful for the kindness they showed him and our family. We were very happy with the quality at Hotel Covington, but communication was lacking. Our day-of coordinator alluded to more issues, but she was able to handle them instead of bringing me into it. If you plan to have your wedding at Hotel Covington ask LOTS of very specific questions, have your details specialist write as much detail into your day-pf plan, and bring your own day-of coordinator to act on your behalf, and you will have a lovely day.

I recently had the pleasure of working at a wedding held at Harper Hall in downtown Lexington, and I have to say, this venue is an absolute gem! From start to finish, the experience was top-notch. What truly sets Harper Hall apart, though, is the staff. Every member of the team was professional, attentive, and incredibly helpful. They went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, and it was clear they were committed to making the day special for everyone involved. The level of coordination and attention to detail was impressive—from setting up the space to managing timelines and making sure every need was met.

I've been a vendor at Drees for their entire 20-year history. The obvious thing to say is the facility and view are amazing. But to me, it's the consistency with which they take care of their clients and treat the vendors like part of the team to create a perfect experience for their clients.

We loved The Spot! We had our wedding reception there in August. We has 185 guests attend, and the space was perfect size for it! The dance floor is huge, and you can have up to two bars including one big one! The location is perfect - we had out of town guests stay in hotels one block away and a lot of people walked to The Banks bars after the reception! Another great aspect is they let you bring in your own catering/alcohol, which gives a lot of flexibility (and isn’t as hard as you’d think to coordinate).

The Center was the perfect venue for our wedding! The space is absolutely beautiful and it’s perfect for couples like us who wanted to have their ceremony and reception in the same place. We had our ceremony in the dome room and our reception in the main ball room and it was absolutely beautiful! We got tons of compliments and how great the space was from our guests. It’s extremely convenient with many parking garages within a few blocks as well as various hotels nearby for guests to stay in. The staff at The Center is absolutely wonderful and even with all of the new restrictions that came with COVID they made sure we still had the perfect wedding.
