I am so grateful for the Bradshaw Duncan House property and team not only on my wedding day, but also in all the weeks and months leading up to the big day! They had everything we needed to put our big day together, answered our many questions, and had helpful advice from years of experience in the industry. They always responded in a timely manner and truly felt like partners in helping our wedding vision become a reality. The property is beautiful and the house provided ample getting ready space for our big wedding parties. They have made several upgrades over the last year or so including adding bathrooms for guests, adding more paved sidewalks for guests and vendors, upgrading the vendor kitchen, and providing a bigger tent. All of these additions were made thoughtfully and responsively and helped the evening flow seamlessly. Thank you to Grace and her team - you all are the best of the best! Reviewed on 13-11-2023

I can't thank the staff enough for the work they did to make our day special. We had a November wedding and that day it unexpectedly snowed! Even under these circumstances, the staff still made sure everything went smoothly and made my envision come true by still allowing us to have the ceremony outside. The bridal party loved the getting ready rooms, we were able to utilize the kitchen for brunch, and loved that our guests were able to explore the house during cocktail hour.

My husband and I smiled all through our first tour of the house and grounds. The coordinator and owner were responsive and accommodating. They offer a great number of affordable rentals and offered great vendor recommendations. For our wedding, the bridal suites were spacious, and comfortable, and made my hairdresser very happy! The Bourbon Room and dining room were perfect spaces for pictures. Our ceremony was outside, and the shade provided by the trees helped keep everyone comfortable even on a hot September day. The patio space was perfect for cocktail hour, and the tennis court reception area was super! I also do recommend renting the restroom trailer, it is incredible.

Beth Leichhardt(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-09-2022 Bradshaw-Duncan House is the premier venue in Kentucky. I honestly cannot say enough good things about Maggie, her staff, and BDH as a whole. Our day was everything we hoped and more. We were in the car ride to the hotel, and we couldn’t think of one bad thing from the whole day, and we said if something did go wrong, we didn’t know about it because Grace (our coordinator from Bradshaw) probably fixed it. They were all so kind, helpful, generous, and accommodating. BDH should be known as the top wedding venue in Kentucky! Reviewed on 10-10-2022
Jonathan Navis(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-07-2022 Me and my wife, Heaven, had our wedding at the Bradshaw-Duncan House on July 23, 2022. It was absolutely a dream come true. From the very beginning Tina, Maggie and all the workers made us both feel special and were very attentive. After our first walkthrough, we knew we had found our wedding venue. Once we booked BDH as our venue, Tina and Maggie helped us walk through every step of planning process. Planning a wedding can be a very daunting task, however, the two made sure to make it as easy of a process as it possibly could be. I seriously don’t know how we would have planned the big day without them. Come our wedding day, it was everything we could have hoped for and more. The venue and set up was absolutely beautiful. Everything was set up for us and looked even better than we could have hoped. The whole crew at BDH were very attentive, made me and wife feel incredibly special, and made sure the day went exactly how we had hoped. They went above and beyond in every aspect. I would HIGHLY recommend the Bradshaw-Duncan House as a venue for any occasion, especially a wedding. It was perfect in every way imaginable. Me and my wife still talk about how perfect the day was and we know it wouldn’t have been possible without the beautiful venue and the great crew at the Bradshaw-Duncan House.

Not only is Bradshaw-Duncan House a BEAUTIFUL house and property, Maggie, Tina, Grace and the rest of the BDH staff is a dream to work with! I am very much a planner, and have trouble letting go, but the whole BDH team made us feel so comfortable and captured everything we wanted. We even had some weather issues pop up right around our ceremony time. The team was so accommodating in making changes to ensure we had the outdoor ceremony we envisioned. The outdoor space of the property is gorgeous, but the inside is just as wonderful! The spaces for both sides of the bridal party were perfect for everyone to get ready comfortably, but still separate. You can see how much thought has gone into making this a superb venue, making sure we had everything we could possibly need. The day was everything we hoped for, and more, thanks to the amazing people at Bradshaw-Duncan House.

Paige Bordy(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-08-2021 The Bradshaw Duncan House is new onto the wedding venue scene but should not be overlooked. The grounds are breathtaking and the space inside is perfect for all of your day of needs. The bride and groom's suites are a great space to spend the morning of wedding and come equipped with everything you need from a steamer to a salon like set-up for your hair and makeup artists. We had a lot of out of town guests at our wedding and got so many comments on how 'beautifully Kentucky' our wedding was. There were initially some organizational hitches but Maggie, the new general manager of BDH and Tina, the owner were great to work with and everything went so smoothly day of. Sarah and Debbie were on site and available the whole day/evening - helping out with rain dances (that worked!) and red wine spills on my SIL dress among many other things. It was also so nice that we once you were there in the AM, there was no travel from a hotel/to take pictures/to and from ceremony to reception - everything is there and we were able to spend a lot more time with our guests because of it. Ultimately, I would definitely recommend BDH for a beautiful ceremony and reception! Reviewed on 22-09-2021
