up medical school without distraction. Thanks to them everything went seemlessly and was beautiful! All my guests thoroughly enjoyed their time, loved the food and drinks, and the venue.

We used the Prizing House in Cynthiana for our wedding and reception location. The location used to be a skating rink that was turned into an event space by Nell Anne and Mandy Gossett. Walking into the building, you can't even tell it was a ...

skating rink. The walls are dark and rich and the space is filled with antiques from around the area. They have their own catering so you cannot bring outside catering but the food was absolutely amazing. For our reception we had three mini sliders consiting of a black and blue burger, a regular slider and a southwest slider. The meal also consisted of green beans and parmesian garlic potatoes. During the cocktail hour, we had chocolate cleminites and I think it was an artichoke dip on a blue tortilla chip. We were able to take some of our food home with us and it was amazing.
