The Kentucky Science Center exceeded our expectations. Nicole Cooper is the coordinator for Levy/Science Center and she was absolutely amazing to work with. She was so helpful and...
shared her experiences to assist us in making decisions. She kept us up-to-date the day of the wedding and was very accommodating. Thank you Nicole and staff! You made my daughter’s day magical!!
We had a smaller wedding (80-85 guests) and while the space could have accommodated a larger crowd, it was still perfect for our group. The market lights strung from the ceiling a...
dded a festive look. There was plenty of space for the bar and buffet and the brick wall made a great backdrop for photos.

Suzie and Natalie were the day of event coordinators and absolutely amazing!!! Natalie was helpful and responsive throughout the entire planning process and both ladies made me fe...
el completely calm and beautiful the day of. KSC was a perfect choice for our venue as it was not only a gorgeous event room, but also had the exhibits available to all of our guests! The only reasons they didn’t receive a 5 star rating were because a few guests almost fell out of their chairs do to weakened chairs and the elevator was very slow causing a bottle neck for the quantity of guests.
The Science Center was amazing for my June 2017 wedding!I knew from the moment I stepped off the elevator the day I went to tour that this was the place for us, everything about it...
was so dreamy and fit my fairy tale vision of my wedding. It was absolutely beautiful and perfect in every way. Melissa and her team were so great, they made sure that my day went so smoothly, Melissa is amazing at what she does, she is very attentive and the most kind person ever who will go way above and beyond expectations for you. There are ample places to take beautiful photos with the wedding party, I love that our guests were able to wander through the Science Center during cocktail hour that was an extra bonus. It was just perfect from start to finish for my fairy tale wedding. You can't go wrong with booking with Melissa at the Science Center.
I cannot recommend this place enough to anyone. They were endlessly kind, helpful, so organized, professional... The Science Center and their team were a highlight of my wedding, a...
nd I will forever remember them for all they did to make our day special. They went above and beyond to help create the foundation of our event. I loved working with them and am certain that I'll reach out to them for events in the future.
I can't say enough about how amazing Melissa and her team were! I looked at several venues and what ultimately sold me on the Science Center (aside from the great event space) was ...
knowing that I would be in great hands and would not have to worry about a thing the day of my wedding. Melissa and her team helped me every step of the way from brainstorming the order of the ceremony to fun ideas for decorations for the wedding/reception. They also knew I had a tight budget and were very helpful in giving me money-saving ideas. They accommodated several requests to come to the space with various vendors in the months before the wedding as well. LOVED every minute of working with them.
We chose the Kentucky Science Center for our reception in August 2016. We actually came to them last minute, because we had to switch our date only a few weeks before the wedding ...
(due to my husband's changing schedule in the military). We had a different site (that was more outdoors), but didn't want everyone to have to sweat it out in the middle of August in Louisville! The science center was more than accommodating with our last minute choice, and offered a great package for the price. The space was transformed in the evening, and we had some great photos with the river in the background before the sun set. It was a lovely space, had a great set-up for the buffet we were planning, and everyone got to dance the night away in air conditioning :) We had so much fun having our reception there and would 100% recommend to any other brides and grooms looking for a fun, affordable, gorgeous space that photographs well!
The Science Center could have not been a more perfect reception venue for our wedding! The wedding coordinator, Melissa, was amazing and really kept the event right on schedule! Ju...
st all around wonderful experience! And the brick room was perfect for our buffet line and open bar area. We had about 200 guests and there was plenty of room!
We had our reception only here in September 2015 and everyone we worked with here was amazing! Even though they switched coordinators (She left the company) right before our weddin...
g, it was absolutely no problem. I would highly recommend using this venue, and it has a great price.
I love our venue. I wouldn't want to get married anywhere else. My husband and I are nerds so the Science Center was the perfect place for us. The venue looked very wonderful at ...
night. We loved working with Alexis and her team. They were very wonderful and helped to make our day perfect!
The Science Center was amazing to work with! They did a great job with setup, their space is gorgeous (string lights are scalloped through the room against a black ceiling, their ...
wall of windows out towards the river is beautiful, and they have lighted trees they can set up for you!). We looked around Downtown Louisville a great deal, and the Science Center was by far the best value we found.
My husband and I both gasped when we entered the Riverview room for the reception. We might be biased, but the reception setup was absolutely breathtaking.
Alexis, the Science Center's events coordinator, is amazing. She was great about answering my questions, took care of a lot of the details we hadn't even thought of (where to put the guest book, gift tables, etc.), and she generally just made my life easy in the last-minute preparations. The Science Center's staff does a great job overall, and they were great to work with. If I had one regret, it would be that I didn't figure out how much the Science Center would be taking care of earlier - I could have saved myself a lot of stress on the details they had covered!
If you're looking for a stylish location that can fit a lot of people comfortably and that has a perfect setup for a dance party reception, DEFINITELY look at the Science Center (and look at pictures of the space at night - it's still pretty in the sunlight, but it's dramatically different and really stunning at night)!
The Science was great for the reception. The staff is friendly, and with some decorations, the room looks beautiful and provides a great view of the river.
