Real Kentucky Wedding


Clark & Mallory’s Kentucky Wedding
at Ashbourne Farms

Mallory and Clark's private wedding weekend stands out amongst the hundreds of Kentucky and destination weddings we have been a part of. It all began at 21c, a prestigious modern art gallery, where our guests immersed themselves in contemporary artistic wonders. The evening continued with a delectable dinner at Proof on Main. Following this, our guests were whisked away to the picturesque Kentucky countryside, where they were greeted with a champagne welcome. The heartwarming wedding, beneath an elegant sailcloth tent and accompanied by personalized vows and a soul-stirring violin performance, added a touch of magic to the weekend. The festivities culminated in a memorable late-night party at Ashbourne Farms, a historic and grand Kentucky horse farm, nestled in the scenic rolling countryside just outside of Louisville.
