We just had our wedding at The Campbell House in “The Barn” and had an awesome experience. We were a little uneasy after reading some of the reviews before hand but I can’t say enough great things about Lindsay (event coordinator) and the staff. Everything went so smoothly and we were able to stay within our budget. I would recommend this place to anyone!

We loved the Barn space - it had a uniquelly Kentucky feel without being a true barn and didn't have a typical \"hotel ballroom\" vibe. Plus the outdoor areas allow for some absolutely gorgeus shots that have almost a New Orleans/Charleston vibe on the front porch. Being able to have guests stay there was super nice without having to deal with people drinking and driving or finding parking. Lindsey worked with us and was always on top of everything and always willing to give honest advice and tips. The food was great and the buffet was the quickest of any event I've ever been to. The staff day of was super helpful, responsive and paid attention to the little details. They also provided a suite for the bridal party to get ready which was beautiful and spacious as well as a space for the groomsmen.

As I write this review, I am in my room aftermy daughters wedding/reception at thishotel. We booked it a year ago and as oflast week, we still did not know what ourtotal cost was going to be. It was very hardto ever get a hold of the events planner,and apparently Hilton does not needmoney because my husband tried formonths to get a total cost and makepayments. Still never heard from anyoneand so ended up having to pay over$20,000 in one payment the day before thewedding. At the reception, the food tastednothing like what we had at our tasting.Everything had very little flavor and wassimilar to hospital food. Once everyone leftthe reception to go outside to do the brideand groom send off, our wedding plannerstarted taking down all the beautifulflowers that my husband and I spent$8000 on. We hated all of the huge,beautiful centerpieces to go to waste sowe allowed guests to take home loose flowers that were laying on the tables. Allof the bridesmaids bouquets were put atthe back of the room with all of the otheritems we were taking home. When returned about 10 minutes later my friendsaid that all of the workers who werebreaking down the room, went over andtook several of the bouquets. She tried tochase them down a hallway to ask them toreturn them but they did not. All that wasleft was the brides bouquet. I headed tothe front desk to inform them that severalworkers at the hotel stole the bouquets,and I happened upon a security guardemployed by the hotel. I let him know whathappened and asked him to please go findthem and ask them to return our flowers.He came back and told me that we saidthey could have them. I was stunned andsaid that was not the case. He refused todo anything else. I was so angry and askwhy he was not doing his job snd heliterally raised his voice to me and said\"I've been too busy dealing with your drunk guests\"! Which is a lie. I was completely appalled and said that I was going to get my husband to talk to him and he proceeded to tell me that he would \"clean my husband's breaks and anyone else that had a problem with him\"! I was so in shock and stunned! I went back to the ballroom to get my daughters bouquet which was the only one that hadn't been taken, and in those few moments it was also stolen! So l headed back to the front desk to tell the 2gentleman(I use that term loosely!)working that they had gone back and stolethe only remaining bouquet and they justlooked at me and said nothing at all! My husband tried to get them to do something about it and one of them proceeded to laugh at him and my daughter who by now was in tears. Then the security guard comes up and tells my husband that he called the police because he felt threatened by me! FYI I'm 4'11\" and 120 lbs! I was so upset that I just went back to my room while my husband waited for the police that were called because I was so threatening! Of course they didn't believe shit the security guard said, not to mention several of our guests were police officers and FBI personnel. I am absolutely at a loss for words at the horrible way that we were treated at this establishment that we had just spent over $25,000 at not including the mass amount of rooms that we and other guests paid for.This night has been a total nightmare andthe memories of the best day of mydaughters life have been completelytainted by the horrible treatment from staff towards our family and friends.

My daughter's wedding took place the Saturday after Thanksgiving, 2013. There were many complications that needed to be addressed. (out of state bridesmaids, family and guests; a large group of AA guests; children; enough space in the Atrium; sound for the ceremony in the Atrium, etc.) Heather was incredibly patient and helpful. She was a delight to work with and my salvation during periods of stress. Her calming demeanor helped all of us to truly enjoy the experience. I am a control freak and yet I had a wonderful time at the wedding and danced the night away. My daughter said she never felt so much love. Others commented that it was a classy wedding and they never had so much fun! I highly recommend Heather Shoemaker and the Campbell House as the perfect venue for a wedding!

This job couldn’t be a better fit for you! In the midst of a pretty stressful rehearsal, you handled yourself and our families very professionally. I want you to know personally, that among our families, you received lots of positive comments… even after the wedding! My dad is still going on about how impressed he was with you!\r

I had my reception here. It was a very pleasant experience. They supplied just about everything I needed, which made it more affordable. The only thing I had to do on my own for the reception site was bring in my own flowers and stage decorations and more unique centerpieces ( although we did use the pretty candle hurricanes they supply on some of the tables). However, they let me choose tablecloth and napkin colors, and they supplied tables, linens, dishes, food warmers, a dance floor, chairs, etc. They also offer catering contracts, and the food was delicious. Everything went smoothly on the actual day.. They set everything up in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend this venue.

The spaces were perfect for our size, and great for our guests.
