Where do I even begin? I am obsessed with the Ashley Inn, and my entire wedding weekend that was spent there. I’ve never had a wedding before 😆, but the entire time I just kept thinking, “is it supposed to be this easy?!” I mean everything was...

absolutely gorgeous, every vendor was amazing, and Heidi topped off our perfect weekend and was the best coordinator ever! Truly made my day SO smooth and enjoyable! It was so special and convenient to be able to have the Inn for the entire weekend, and wake up to breakfast with my favorite people. If I could rewind and do it 100x over I would. If you are thinking of having your wedding here, don’t think, just do it! No regrets and I hope every bride and future couple have the best experience we did, because of Heidi and the Ashley Inn!

Looked at the property as a place to have our wedding. The property was beautiful and the staff seemed friendly and helpful. The price given was a stretch for our budget but the staff told us they would let us wait to make the deposit and infor...

m us if someone else asked for our date. When we finally saved up the money to place the deposit all of the sudden the price increased by $1000.00! We informed them that we didn't think we could afford that but they said that our date would likely be a popular one so they wouldn't have a problem replacing us. We were hoping to have the original quote we were given honored but it seems they don't really care about people here, they can still make the money from someone else.

Multiple guests told us that it was the prettiest wedding they'd ever been to! It's perfect for pictures, and having the horses in the background of our reception pictures just adds to the romantic feeling! I'd recommend this place to anyone and everyone looking to get married outdoors with a Kentucky or shabby chic theme!

When I first started planning I knew that I wanted to have my reception at a place that was on a horse farm and I couldn't have found anywhere more perfect! The moment I drove up to the Ashley Inn I knew it was where I wanted to be. The propert...

y is absolutely stunning with a pond, willow trees, gorgeous horse pastures, and a beautiful house. All of my family was from out of state, so the fact that it was a bed and breakfast was a bonus! All of my immediate family was able to stay on-site Friday and Saturday night and the breakfasts were delicious. The carriage house was wonderful because I knew planning that if it rained the place could be completely enclosed by tent walls if need be. Luckily, we had nice weather, but knowing that your venue would not be rained out was great peace of mind! Being a horse-crazy bride I was able to board my horse at the Meadow Lake Equestrian Center for the days that we were there. We got some beautiful photos and my guests loved being able to meet "Ari". The best part is that not only is the Ashley Inn a wonderful place, but the people there are spectacular as well. Meagan, Amanda, and the innkeeper Lisa, and all of the staff were absolutely wonderful! They made everything smooth and easy and were so helpful with all of my questions. I would highly highly recommend the Ashley Inn as the best wedding venue!

anything had gone wrong. This is a perfect example of how great a venue this is. Not only are the grounds, mansion, and venue itself beautiful, but you also have the comfort of knowing the staff will help with anything you may need and most likely have it done before it becomes an issue. I highly recommend this venue to all brides!

or the weekend so that me and my girlfriends, who were from out-of-town, could relax and enjoy our time together. It was obviously the right decision because it allowed us the time we needed to get ready without running around to a bunch of appointments. I can honestly say I wasn't stressed at all that day while iI was preparing to walk down the isle. The beautifully appointed surroundings within the inn, the delicious breakfast on Saturday morning and all the attention to detail by the Ashley Inn staff made for a wonderful experience. During all the months of planning, Meagan and Matt patiently answered all of our questions and concerns and made some really nice improvements to their property based on some of our discussions. They were wonderful to work with and provided us real customer service before and during our event. Our guests were wowed by the beautiful surroundings and felt that they had attended the quintessential Kentucky wedding.

We were pleased in every way and recommend this beautiful place to other families.
