The Polo Barn at Saxony Farm

are thoughtful and proud owners, and their dedication to making it the best experience for their guest is apparent. When it became clear in March 2020 that we would be unable to have our wedding on our original date of April 25, 2020, we reached out to them to ask about postponement options. They could not have been more accommodating and understanding in allowing us to reschedule to a highly desirable date, despite the fact that doing so came at their expense financially. We’ve heard horror stories from other couples with respect to postponements, whether being offered only highly undesirable dates and/or having to pay a significant premium. Rosie and Broussard had no contractual obligation at the time to allow us to postpone for free, or at all, but exhibited utmost compassion and grace during a stressful and upsetting time for us, and we couldn’t be more grateful. In addition to just being good people, they’re professionals. Throughout our 2.5 year relationship with Rosie and Broussard, they were consistently punctual in responding to our many questions and concerns, making our and our wonderful planner’s (Angela Sallee) lives substantially easier, which in light of the circumstances was much appreciated. As the big day finally approached, they walked us through how the weekend would go (for a third time) and helped put our minds at ease, such as explaining the COVID precautions that they are taking to keep guests safe and what they would do to make the wedding go as smoothly as possible in the event of inclement weather (which fortunately was not an issue, as we had perfect weather the whole weekend). The venue itself is a truly stunning property, both on the farm, where we had our welcome party and ceremony, and in the barn, where we had our reception. The grounds are immaculate and as a working farm, you get to experience what makes Kentucky truly special – the horses. My wife is originally from Lexington and I’m from New York. We wanted to give our many out of town guests a uniquely Kentucky experience, and the Polo Barn fit the bill perfectly. Our guests were blown away when they got off of the busses at the farm and when they walked into the barn itself for the reception. We had to have received 100 compliments over the course of the weekend on our choice of venue. A big part of the reason that we chose the Polo Barn was that you have access to the venue for the entire weekend. Rather than having to plan our welcome party elsewhere, we were able to host it on the farm just outside of the barn. We wanted to avoid having the welcome party feel like a second wedding, and the venue was highly conducive to achieving this goal. It’s also inclusive of a “cottage” (which is more spacious than the name may indicate) for the bridal party to get ready in. The cottage is thoughtfully decorated with personal touches from the farms history. It includes a mancave for the guys, which my husband loved (and now wants one for our house!). The cottage is a fun place to hang out and calm some nerves before guests arrive. Overall, we couldn’t recommend the Polo Barn more. A+ experience despite the circumstances.

had the most meaningful time staying on site at the Dew Drop Inn and truly making this wedding an experience instead of just one day . The entire farm is in immaculate shape and waking up to horses outside every morning was a girl's dream come true. If you want the ultimate Kentucky Wedding experience - you must visit and book here !

d are constantly making improvements to what is already a stunning venue. Because we were able to book the venue for the entire weekend we didn’t have to give extra thought to a space for the rehearsal dinner or where the bridal party should be getting ready. The adorable and convenient cottage provided ample space for my bridesmaids and I to have hair and makeup done and for my husband and his groomsmen to spend time together and get dressed. Because I’m a bit of a control freak the extra perk was that I was there on sight all day to oversee the set-up and arrival of the vendors. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect location or team to work with.

ding venue: rolling hills of emerald green pasture, friendly mares who came up to the fence to greet us, tree-lined drives and fences, and a gorgeous, spacious barn that is half pavilion and half stalls--perfect for an event setup that is both versatile and site-specific. The space was so flexible and unique, especially with the rental timing that allows for the opportunity to hold multiple events and really make the space your own. With options to hold events in the large barn, on the patio, or in grassy lawns, the hardest part of the rental was picking which of the beautiful spaces we wanted to use for which parts of our weekend! I keep going back and forth on which was better, the exceptional space or the above-and-beyond level of service and warmth from the owners. Rosie and Broussard became essential parts of our wedding team and just made us feel beyond welcome in their space. They were always on call to answer questions during the lead-up to our wedding and let us come by as often as we wanted to walk the space, work out details, and show visiting friends and family, and they offered un-asked-for, unexpected, and much-needed assistance with a variety of setup projects on the weekend. They went out of their way to make us feel at home and work with us throughout. It's worth mentioning, too, that my husband and I still marvel at the value of this space. We were looking at venues that cost more for a quarter of the time we spent at the farm, and which didn't include nearly the level of amenities or service that we found there. We kept having dreams about having our wedding in different places in the lead-up, and we woke up from those dreams grateful that we got to have our wedding at the Polo Barn instead. It was literally better than we dreamed of! There's plenty of horse farms around Lexington, but only one Polo Barn! Wish we could give it fifty stars!
