We used Kentucky Center for the Arts for our cocktail hour and reception and it was ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! I would have never thought that you could use their foyer for a wedding but man, it turned out amazing. We worked with Becky Grider and she was great at working out the layout with last minute details and making sure we had everything we needed. They are great to work with for a more than fair priced and accommodated roughly 235 guests comfortably. HIGHLY SUGGESTED!!!

Impeccable! The professionalism and courtesy of the group of people we worked with made planning this event seem effortless and flawless. When we had a question, they had an immediate answer. They were accommodating and friendly. The entire staff was great but the event coordinators (Christephor Gilbert & Chris Kaelin) always made us feel at home, at ease and that they were always willing to lend a hand.

During the wedding planning, I heard many horror stories about venues being unresponsive, uncooperative, etc. I am pleased to tell you that I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for the perfect venue. I have nothing but positive feedback to leave for this great group of people! I only hope that I have the opportunity to work with them on some event in the future.
