    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. As someone who works at events often, it’s not every day I come across a venue that combines such a beautiful setting with a team that genuinely cares about the success of the event. If you're considering a place for your wedding or any other special occasion, I can't recommend Harper Hall enough. It’s a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a memorable experience in a prime downtown location!

    We could not have asked for a better wedding venue! After shopping around, Harper Hall had everything we needed for our ceremony, cocktail space, and reception! We have continued to get compliments about the space and the photos turned out amazing! Jamie was also 10/10 on communicating, handling everything we needed, and checking in on us!
