Copper Roux
Kentucky Bourbon Vibes Meet Contemporary Elegance
Holds ceremonies and receptions
Had my wedding shower here and the venue was very accommodating! I would definitely recommend to anyone!
I worked with Dana through my whole wedding planning journey just a week after I was engaged and she helped me every step of the way. My wedding day was perfect! The food, drink and staff were amazing - everything went so smoothly!
I’ve received numerous comments on the food, and the two signature cocktails we selected (Day Oaks Lilly and Keeneland Breeze)! We had our rehearsal dinner here and our ceremony and reception! It was perfect for our 80 guest wedding! Bluegrass Bayou the catering company that owns Copper Roux, Limestone Hall and The Round Barn was the absolute best the packages have great pricing and so many options
Cannot recommend them enough!
