I’ve had the pleasure of both attending and being in a wedding at Log Still, and I can’t say enough about how perfect everything was. The staff was truly incredible—beyond helpful,...
attentive, and kind. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, making the entire day run smoothly and stress-free.
The buffet-style food was absolutely delicious, and we heard so many guests raving about it throughout the night. And the venue itself? Absolutely stunning. From the gorgeous rooms to the picture-perfect scenery, it created an unforgettable backdrop. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that your experience- both a...
s a guest and a member of the wedding party- was so positive and memorable.
Our team takes great pride in making each event seamless and stress-free, so it means the world to hear that their attentiveness and care stood out. We're also so glad the food was a hit- our culinary team works hard to create meals that are as enjoyable as the celebration itself!
And of course, we love hearing that the beauty of the venue made an impact- it's a special place, and we're honored to share it with wonderful people like you. Thank you again for the recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for more celebrations in the future!

I had the absolute pleasure of attending a wedding at this stunning venue, and I can honestly say it was one of the most memorable celebrations I've ever been a part of.
The settin...
g-tucked within beautiful distillery grounds- was unlike anything I've seen. The natural beauty of the venue spoke for itself; it didn't need much decor to feel wedding ready. The atmosphere was romantic, welcoming, and completely unique.
From a guest's perspective, everything was flawless. The staff handled the event with true professionalism and warmth. You could tell they had every detail under control, which made the entire day feel relaxed and joyful for everyone involved.
And the food- absolutely incredible. The culinary team delivered a meal that rivaled any fine dining experience. Each dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and clearly prepared with care.
This venue is truly a hidden gem, and any couple would be lucky to celebrate their big day here. As a guest, I walked away in awe of the experience. Highly recommend!!

I would like to echo all of the other 1 star reviews on here. We had a very similar experience and it created a lot of unnecessary stress, money, time, and energy. It is a shame th...
at such a beautiful venue was a nightmare to work with.
When we initially toured the property, we were told everything we wanted to hear. Had we known that their promises were empty, we would have selected a different venue. Between booking and wedding we dealt with three different event managers. To name a few issues, there were conflicting services, outside areas being accessible then not, beverages available for purchase at rehearsal to not (but you can’t bring in your own), ceremony seats provided then not.
There weren’t any reviews when we booked our date so we took the gamble. Turns out, it was all too good to be true.
Be wary of booking this venue unless you are prepared for high prices and terrible planning. To give a few more examples, LogStill employees sent our first arriving, wedding party members away from our rehearsal because they “forgot to put our date on the calendar” and told them there was not a rehearsal there that evening. This was planned a year in advance and was discussed many times leading up to the wedding. We wasted multiple hours over the phone and in person asking for our bill to be corrected because the calculations did not make sense. The outdoor location where we initally planned to get married had to change. Extra charges will be billed to you after wedding day. All in all, our experience was a total disaster.
We have only great things to say about all of our other vendors. The professionalism with LogStill was virtually nonexistant.
Save yourself the frustration and disappointment. Book at your own risk.

We’re sorry to hear that your experience at The Legacy at Log Still did not meet expectati...
ons. We take every review seriously and always strive to provide both a beautiful setting and a professional planning experience.
We’d like to offer clarification regarding one of the key concerns mentioned- specifically, the outdoor ceremony location near one of our bed and breakfasts. A former coordinator mistakenly informed you that this space could be used without reserving the associated B&B. Unfortunately, that information was incorrect, and we regret any confusion it caused.
Because that space is directly tied to the private rental of that B&B, it was booked by another guest not affiliated with your event. At that point, we were not in a position to revoke their reservation or restrict them from enjoying the property they paid for. While we understand your disappointment, we did our best to offer alternative ceremony locations that were equally scenic and private, and in line with what was promised at booking.
In terms of staffing changes, we recognize that consistency is important and acknowledge the frustration that transitions may have caused. Our team has worked hard to resolve those internal challenges, and we are now operating with stronger structure, policies and communication practices to better support all future couples.
Regarding your comments on billing and planning communication, we made every effort to address concerns in person and over the phone- including time spent reviewing your invoice and offering detailed explanations. We are always transparent about our policies and costs, and we continue to refine those processes to avoid confusion moving forward.
We sincerely regret that your experience felt frustrating, especially during a time that should be filled with joy. We wish you and your partner all the best in your life together.

We had our daughter's wedding and rehearsal dinner at The Legacy at Logstill on Oct. 11 and 12th. It couldn't have been more perfect! Everything from the staff to the food and bar ...
was wonderful!
The venue itself is beautiful-and complete with a chapel, bride's dressing room and lounge and groom's lounge. The luxury of having everything in one place is ideal.
The property has several airbnb's that make it very convenient and the houses are beautiful! The Mansion is located within steps of the venue.
Weeks after the wedding, our family and friends are still talking about how nice the wedding and reception were and how they enjoyed Logstill as a whole.
If you are considering having your wedding or event here, do not hesitate. It was a decision well made and I highly recommend it!
Special thanks to Shae and Carla and the rest of the staff. They were phenomenal!

special celebration. It was truly an honor to host your daughter's wedding and rehearsal dinner at The Legacy.
We're thrilled to hear that everything-from the food and bar service to the accommodations and on-site amenities- helped create a seamless, joyful experience for your family and guests. Our team, especially Shea, loved working with you and are so happy to know her efforts made a meaningful impact.
Creating a one-of-a-kind wedding weekend is exactly what we aim for, and it means the world to hear that your guests are still talking about the celebration. Thank you again for your recommendation and for sharing your experience. We wish your daughter and her new spouse a lifetime of happiness, and we hope to welcome your family back again someday.

I have been searching for a venue long and hard around Bardstown when I came across this venue. It was absolutely perfect so I reached out through The Knot messaging. No response. ...
I know some venues might not check these messages so I sent an inquiry through their website. No response. I went as far as their Facebook page where I finally got a response to message a man. No response from the man. Based on the other reviews, I’m glad they didn’t reach out to me. It’s been around 5 months since I first reached out so good luck planning a wedding if it’s in this decade.
Response from LogStill Distillery- The Legacy on 05/19/2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we’re very sorry for the lack ...
of response you encountered.
Due to internal staffing transitions, we were not aware that our venue was actively listed on The Knot during the time you reached out. Unfortunately, this meant that inquiries sent through this platform went unnoticed for a period of time, and we completely understand how frustrating that must have been- especially while searching for a venue.
Since discovering the issue, we’ve made significant improvements to our team structure and communications systems. We now actively monitor all inquiry channels, including The Knot, our website, and social media platforms, to ensure every couple receives a timely and helpful response.
While we regret that we missed the opportunity to connect with you, we do appreciate your feedback- it helps us continue to grow and better serve future couples. We wish you all the best as you plan your special day and hope you’ve found the perfect venue.

This review comes with a heavy heart and not as a disgruntled parent. My son and daughter-in-law booked the Legacy at Dant Crossing/Log Distillery back in July, 2023. Their wedding...
was this last weekend April 27, 2024. Over those 8+ months of planning we went through two General Managers and four on site contact hospitality employees (although no one ever had an actual title, this is what I’d guess they were).
To say this venue has a very high employee turnover is an understatement. The communication and professionalism was horrific. There would be weeks if not months where we would go without getting answers to any questions or concerns that we had. This became extremely frustrating and made for a tense planning process which should have been something of joy. When we tried to reach out to the owner of the venue Wally Dant we were re-directed to his girlfriend who was recently promoted to “Hospitality Manager” and “re-assured us” that they would “make sure everything will be taken care of.”
Never were those words “re-assuring” comforting to us through any of this.
Although this venue and property are absolutely gorgeous and our wedding was beautiful it most definitely wasn’t due to staff.
It would be a really good idea to hire a professional hospitality team and possibly send your employees to training on communication and professionalism skills.
The BnB’s on the property are stunning but those also came with unexplained charges that should have been pointed out to us before we exited instead of charging us and sending pictures after the fact.
This too requires some professionalism.
I will say the food was the only plus, our compliments to the chef. This was the only area that went smoothly. The chef was accommodating and prepared special menus for our rehearsal dinner.
As I mentioned in the beginning this isn’t a rant of emotions it’s a family that would have liked to have their children’s wedding day and all of the days leading up to it be more stress free.
We really encourage you to get it right for any future clients because I wouldn’t want anyone planning their child’s special day to have to go through what we did.

We normally welcome all feedback, even when it’s critical- but in this case, we feel compe...
lled to respond to your review with clear and factual context.
Your characterization of our team and operations is not only misleading but omits key details that paint a very different picture of your party’s time with us.
The staff changes you referred to were not due to simple “turnover”, but the result of terminating individuals for serious violations, including theft of time and resources. We acted swiftly and decisively to protect our clients’ experiences and the integrity of our business. Suggesting this was a reflection of disorganization is unfair and inaccurate.
As for your planning experience, our team maintained consistent communication despite the challenges presented by your group’s evolving demands. We extended courtesy and flexibility at every turn- even when met with behavior that was, frankly, erratic and often inappropriate.
Most concerning is your mention of “unexplained charges” related to our bed and breakfasts. To be very clear: these charges were the direct result of extensive and biohazard-level damage, including human feces and blood found in multiple rooms. This is not a routine cleaning issue- it is a serious health and safety concern. We documented everything and followed protocol. Had your group left the accommodations in reasonable condition, no such charges would have applied.
Lastly, while we generally refrain from commenting on personal behavior, we must note that several interactions with your group were challenging and, at times, deeply inappropriate- including moments during the rehearsal dinner that caused discomfort among both guests and staff. These kinds of incidents not only disrupted the experience for others but placed our staff in an unnecessarily difficult position.
We’re proud of the work we do, especially under pressure. And while your son and daughter-in-law’s wedding was beautiful-as you acknowledged- that was due in no small part to the efforts of our remaining professional staff, not in spite of them.
We wish the newlyweds the very best and stand firmly behind our team and our standards.

Just don't do it. It's a mirage. You'll be told everything you want to hear, and then have the rug pulled from under you. No professionalism whatsoever. Changes in management 3x an...
d never once were we informed. Instead we were ghosted for weeks with no return calls/emails and then when we finally got ahold of someone in the office to find out "so and so" is no longer with us.... the last change occurred 2 weeks before the wedding. We were promised multiple things prior to each change and, with each change came more charges for xyz.
Wouldn't let you sign a contract to lock in the price of the menu items at booking because "things change" ie they will raise them and give you no choice but to agree.
Unless you plan to add in 10%-20% to your budget for unforeseen "inflation" & absolutely ludicrous "damages" charges. (Ie. Charged $170 for an already broken knife block in bnb, and "dirty" towels)
Hate to speak so poorly of a beautiful facility, but save yourself anguish and money and DO NOT DO IT!!!! They are terrible!!!

We're truly sorry to hear that your experience didn't meet expectations. While we welcome ...
constructive feedback, we feel it's necessary to address a few key points for the sake of clarity in future couples considering our venue.
Yes, there were staffing changes during your planning process- these were not taken lightly. These transitions were the result of internal issues that demanded immediate attention to maintain the standards we promised our clients. Our goal was always to protect your event, even behind the scenes, and we regret if that caused any frustration or confusion along the way.
Our communication was responsive throughout the majority of your planning timeline. While short lapses did occur during staffing transitions, we always made efforts to reconnect and fulfill commitments. We understand how critical consistency is during the planning process and are actively working on procedures to prevent gaps in the future.
Regarding pricing and contracts: we are transparent about the fact that menu prices may be adjusted based on market conditions, as food and labor costs can shift substantially over the course of several months. This is an industry-standard practice, and we work closely with each client to ensure they understand how any charges may affect their final total.
As for the charges related to damages in our Bed and Breakfasts, these were based on documented issues, including broken or heavily soiled items. We understand this can be frustrating, but we take care to only charge in cases where repairs or deep cleaning are necessary to restore the space for the next guests.
We're proud of our property and the hard-working team behind every event, especially our culinary staff, who consistently receive praise for their attention to detail and hospitality.
We understand the emotions that come with planning a wedding, and we sincerely wished the couple the very best in their life together.
Our commitment remains to provide a beautiful venue, professional service, and honest communication to every client we work with.
