I wish I had not had my reception here. They changed the event manager on us three times, and the one we ended up working with the longest had a horrible attitude, no attention to detail, and often refused to return our calls, texts, and emails. It seems like the event staff feel overwhelmed, and they deal with that by ignoring and being rude to their clients. The event manager also appeared completely uninformed and frequently dropped the ball on important tasks. The event manager couldn't even answer simple questions like, \"How much does X dish cost?\" She also forgot to coordinate with the DJ to show him how to control the lights like she said she would, so then the whole night, guests were messing with the lights instead and it all felt chaotic. Most importantly, the food we tasted and ordered for the reception was NOT what the Galt House served at the reception. The side dishes, vegetables, sauces, dressings, presentation--nearly everything was different and not what we had agreed on in writing. And, dinner was supposed to be served at 7pm and end at 8pm, but half the guests (including the groom and I) hadn't even received their food at 8 pm. It really threw off the whole timeline for the evening. I, as the bride, had to go inventory who had food at every table and direct the waitstaff to them. It's not how I wanted to spend my wedding reception. What I described here are just the problems that affected the wedding day itself, but there were tons more that eventually got resolved but made the planning process way more stressful than it needed to be. After seeing our experience, my sister and family friends say they would not use the Galt House for their weddings. I wish I had known not to as well.

Our wedding is booked for January 2022 and we could not be more excited! Both Katie and the manager of the hotel greeted us when we came for a tour and Katie went above and beyond. She’s answered every question we’ve had even after hours. The experience so far has been nothing short of amazing and I’m confident our big day will be perfect. We had several different locations in the hotel to choose from for our ceremony and rehearsal, there’s all kinds of food options, and all the restaurants located on site are a big plus for our out of town guests. Thank you The Galt House!

So along with everyone else in the world I am sure that Covid affected your events in some way or another. Our original wedding date was May 23rd and we had to postpone to September 12th 2020. We were blessed to have Heather Foley as our event manager. Her attention to details made me and my bride so comfortable. We were able to relax and just sit back and not stress because Heather was on it. She returned emails very promptly and answered questions thoroughly. Once we had the event sheet sent to us there were very little changes just because of how attentive Heather was at our meetings. Our room was set accordingly and on time and our ceremony and reception flowed like clock work!!! The new updates to the hotel are absolutely breathtaking!! We stayed in 1903 on the west side, we had hoped to stay on the east side but after we saw our room we never wanted to leave..... soft beds, chic decor and glass shower and our balcony overlooked the river.We had some issues during the planning of our original date but Heather worked diligently to make it right and we are forever grateful. All of our family and friends enjoyed their stay and repeatedly spoke highly of our wedding. We only had 50 guests but the service at our wedding reception was flawless, the service in Walkers Exchange was equally great. Todd Gregory and Patty Word were our servers in the restaurant and they treated us so well. During our wedding reception we had some outstanding staff that i want to recognize; Harry our bartender, Tony Mason and Cherie Liggons our event captains. What an amazing weekend!!! We are overjoyed, happy and still reminiscing about how great our weekend was. Thanks again to Heather Foley and her team of professionals for making our weekend an unforgettable and joyous occasion.

A beautiful venue and great service!! We had my daughters wedding at The Galt House on May 25, 2019. With any event but especially a wedding, you hope to wake up the morning after and say “that was exactly what I imagined “. We definitely did! The day after, Myself, the bride and the groom all were so happy with the entire wedding weekend. Caroline and her entire team executed every detail exactly the way we had planned. The Belvedere is a beautiful ceremony location. We also had cocktail hour on the Belvedere and it was such a relaxed vibe but elegant. Our reception was in The Waterford room and it was beautiful with the views, the layout of the tables, the flowers, the lighting , etc... I can’t say enough about the service. The servers were fantastic and our guests needs were taken care of before they could have time to ask. I, as the Mother of the Bride, had to do nothing. Caroline made sure everything was delivered to our rooms at the end of the night and had even delivered some of our food to the room since sometimes it’s hard to find time to eat with everything going on. Our guests had nothing but positive comments on the wedding and their rooms. The renovation going on is going to be awesome. Our rooms were completely renovated and I’m looking forward to seeing the end result when the hotel is complete. A magical evening!!

We chose the Rivue because of the beautiful venue, the view it offered and the convenience of having a hotel attached. In the year we had a contract with the Galt House we had three coordinators which was frustrating and unassuring. Our first coordinator Courtney was amazing, our second coordinator was stressful, and our third coordinator Brooke was amazing! I lived out of town and it became exhausting constantly scheduling time towards reexplaining my vision, going over what had previously been promised and hoping the same would hold true with the next person. The first tasting was a terrible experience as it tasted like my family and I were eating cold day old food and it was not what we had picked out (this occurred during the time of our second coordinator). I was unable to attend the \"redo\" as I lived out of town but my family said it was a 5 star tasting and that they didn't want to leave (this occurred when our third coordinator was in charge). After we got through the many months of frustration due to administration change everything came together because of one person, Brooke.. Brooke Valentine did an absolutely incredible job taking over and went 100% above and beyond to make sure our wedding was perfect and stress free. She had a lot to of questions to answer that previous administration did not get around to and she did it all in a timely fashion. She was extremely easy to talk to, very understanding and accommodating. She rein-stilled the confidence and trust that every bride needs in a coordinator. The reception and food turned out perfect! I am so thankful she took over and I will always recommend the Galt House as a wedding venue as long as Brooke is in charge!

The Galt House team did a great job in executing what was in the contract. The food was excellent in both rehearsal and reception dinner. The Rivue venue is gorgeous and everything went really well on their side in our special day!The only complaint I have is about the room block for the event. They suggested a number of rooms and we didn't know in that advance if it would be enough or not but their event coordinator on that time said they usually would be able to extend it for more rooms so we trusted her. When we got close to the event and wanted to add rooms to the block they did not have any available. That was a big disappointment and stress because we were counting on it for the family coming out of country and different states.

We had our reception on the 25th floor of the RIVUE tower (where the restaurant normally is) and it was absolutely perfect! I don't know where to begin to explain how amazing our experience was. The sales/service staff that helped in planning everything made me feel at east throughout the entire process. They handled our food, beverages, cake, decor and flowers. This made it so much easier for me so I didn't have to work with multiple vendors. The food we had was absolutely delicious! It was hard for us to narrow it down because everything we tried at the tasting was amazing. I loved that they had so many options to choose from though. Most of our guests came from out of town so it was great having a hotel large enough to accommodate a large block of rooms. The guests loved it too because of the convenience and affordable rates. We have received so many compliments on how perfect the reception was- from location, to decor, food, and the service from the staff. I would recommend the Galt House for any wedding or event!

I had my wedding reception at the Galt House this past July (2015). Our reception was held in the Waterford room on one of the top floors and it had a stunning view of downtown Louisville. The Galt House's service was absolutely perfect. They enabled us to customize our wedding however we liked. The food was my favorite part. This wasn't your \"average\" wedding buffet food. The guests and I could tell that a lot of work went into the preparing of the food. It was very fresh. They also did our cake as well which turned out absolutely beautiful and just how I envisioned it. At the end of the night the staff delivered all the gifts down to my parents room allowing them to not have to stress about carrying them back at the end of the night. The Galt House was great because they did all of the set up and tear down which made it stress-free for my family. Overall I definitely recommend this venue. It was a dream for my husband and I!

Where do I begin? I have always wanted my wedding at the Galt House Hotel. When I began on the planning stages my contact Courtney Kiefer - was so understanding and helpful through the whole process. \rCourtney understood what my vision was for my wedding reception and she made suggested to make it even more than I could ever hoped or imagine. \rAnd the best part about it all was she did it all within my budget!\rThe staff at the Galt House Hotel did a great job as well. From the service to the food and drinks it was perfect! The staff also made sure that all my guests were taken care of. \rStill today guests were talking about my wedding day at the Galt House Hotel. \rThank you again - it is a day I will remember forever.

I received a discount through my job for one of the hotel suites and so glad I went with this hotel. The room was beautiful and very clean. The staff were very friendly, especially our bellman. We only stayed one night which was our wedding night but if I could have I would have stayed all weekend!

Where to begin? We had a wonderful experience, from beginning to end. Courtney Kiefer was an excellent coordinator. She worked seamlessly with our outside vendors and had a \"can do\" attitude with everything we asked. The service was excellent and we received numerous compliments on the food and accommodations. There is literally nothing the Galt House could have done to improve on our wedding experience. My only regret is that we will only get married once. We may have to plan an anniversary party at the Galt House just so we can relive the experience.

I just recently had my wedding reception at the Galt House and overall we are VERY satisfied with how everything went. It truly was our perfect wedding and reception. We chose to use the Archibald Cochran ballroom. The food was fabulous, the servers and bartenders were great to work with, efficient, gracious and never in the way. The main woman in charge of service consistently checked in with my mom to make sure things were going well and made her plates of food. They also updated her on the bar status and when our alcohol budget was running low. The room was absolutely beautiful once decorated and I greatly appreciate how much they set up for us. On my big day I wasn't scrambling to place menus in napkins :) and I love that I didn't have to worry. They really took care of everything. The only real \"issues\" I have, is that I feel there were missed opportunities to really wow us. Our honeymoon suite was a standard room with no special touches. No flowers, no note of best wishes, no vase for my bridal bouquet, and no champagne. A welcome kit or any of those items would have been very special. I had thought a box of our food would be awaiting us when we arrived in the room, but that wasn't provided and we were starved! They also at times seem to nickel-and-dime you. Only lap length white tablecloths are provided free, which is not appropriate for a formal event. I hate seeing table legs! And only certain colors of napkins provided. Just not a lot of wiggle room. Also would charge to pass out the cake and to provide guests with their welcome bags at check-in. Some things I just feel should be provided with such an expensive reception and lots of hotel rooms for guests booked. I would however use them again in a heartbeat. I have had friends and family tell us it was the best food they have had, the most beautiful and really the best wedding they have ever attended. Exactly what a bride wants to hear!

We had our rehearsal dinner at the Rivue on the top floor of the Galt House, as well as blocked our guests rooms there. We were able to block 50 at a time with no charge and given our own url to provide to guests to book the rooms at a discounted rates. The remaining rooms were released 30 days prior to the event. \r\rThe rooms were not ready and the reservations were wrong for several guests. The service at Rivue was horrible, and their wedding coordinator Courtney Keiffer was highly unprofessional in her communication. We ordered a number of bottles of Tattinger and were given half bottles. We provided gift bags to be given to guests which were stolen by the staff (witnessed by my mother at the brunch we had there on Sunday). The food at the Magnolia Cafe is terrible. \r\rWe spent on the up end of 15k on the Galt House for food and accommodations. Very displeased and will never dine or stay there again.

We worked with special event coordinator Bethany Byars who was both accommodating and pleasant. We booked a room block of 30 rooms, all of which we occupied. After the hotel made an error and sold all single occupancy rooms, they upgraded our guest to suites while honoring our pee-negotiated rate. The rooms were clean, spacious and close to our venue. When checking out, the billing was hectic and took a over two weeks to resolve but we got a great value at a beautiful hotel. We also reserved a block of tables for Brunch at their rotating restaurant Rivue. The view was breathtaking and rotated the city and the food was talked about for days following.

The Galt House Hotel was absolutely amazing when handing my wedding, which was July 21st, 2012. The staff were excellent - very courteous and helpful. From the time the wedding party and myself checked in to our suites the day prior all the way up until my husband and I checked out to leave for our honeymoon, I was impressed! The reception was gorgeous! Everyone was stunned how beautiful everything was and how outstanding the staff were. The only negative thing said by the guests were that the main entrees were disappointing. For the price of the meals, the guests didn't care for them (they have others to choose from). Everything else was fantastic, I have no regrets and would recommend this venue in a hearbeat! Loved my wedding day!

We held our wedding reception in the Waterford room on the 25th floor of one of the tower. You have a beautiful view of the city from a beautiful hotel. Bethany, the wedding coordinator, was wonderful to work with. She was eager to please, professional, and helped put my mom at ease. We had a couple small issues with banquet captain, but overall everything went great. I would definitely recommend this place for a reception if it is in your budget.

We had our April 2012 wedding in the Waterford Room on the 25th floor of the Rivue Tower. The room is absolutely breathtaking with its entire modern dazzle! Our favorite feature of the room was the large windows that gave fantastic views if downtown Louisville (great for photos). \rWe recommend this all inclusive vendor! The price is pretty hefty but considering all that is included, it cuts down stress because you have fewer vendors and they do everything for you! They have coordinators, banquet captains, servers etc … built into the price which makes everything so much easier for you. They worked everything out with me down to how the napkin would be folded.\r Food was fantastic and the menus are all very customizable, even if it’s something they don't offer, they will make it! We did signature drinks and they were a hit as well. The staff is fantastic and I could tell they wanted to make sure my event was exactly the way I wanted. We also received 2 free nights in a suite (may have been a special at the time); they very accommodating to us and our guests.

We were very satisfied with our experience at the Galt House. They provided hotel rooms for our out of town guests as well as our honeymoon suite. We had out of town \"Goodie Bags\" for our guests that they gave out at the front desk without any difficulty. The rate they gave us was reasonable. The coordinator that we worked with even extended the reservation deadline for us when we realized several of our guests who intended to make reservations had not yet reserved a room by the deadline. Although one friend stated they were able to get a room at a cheaper rate than our block rooms, he had a special discount through his work. I was a little disappointed because they advertised that if you have your guests stay there, your honeymoon suite is free. Well we only had 15 guests reserve rooms which meant we got an upgrade only, rather than a free room because we needed to have 20 guest room nights. Other than that the Galt House was wonderful!
