My Top 5 Wedding Venues Near Louisville, Kentucky (Photographer-Approved!)

Hey, hey! I’m Laura with Laura Christine Photography, and after photographing so many beautiful love stories around Louisville, I had to share some of my all-time favorite wedding venues in the area. These spots are photogenic and full of personality—just like the couples I work with! Whether you're dreaming of a classic ballroom or a modern city vibe, this list has a little something for everyone.


So let’s dive in: here are my top 5 wedding venues near Louisville, Kentucky (in no particular order, because I love them all like my own camera lenses):


newlyweds posing next to a pond at woodhaven country club

Looking for something classic and polished, with tons of greenery? Woodhaven Country Club brings those dreamy golf course vibes, complete with a charming indoor ballroom for your reception. It’s elegant without being stuffy, and the outdoor ceremony space at golden hour? Chef’s kiss. Plus, the staff here is amazing—which always makes for a smoother, more joyful day (for everyone, including your photographer 👋).

Modern, industrial, and super versatile—The Refinery is a hidden gem. The clean, open layout means you can bring your vision to life whether you're going boho, glam, or minimal and modern. I love how the natural light flows in here during the day, and it gives off major editorial shoot vibes in your photos. Pro tip: string lights = instant magic.

If you’re a couple who wants a little wow-factor and loves a good skyline view, the Muhammad Ali Center is for you. With its rooftop terrace overlooking the Ohio River and downtown Louisville, this venue brings elegance and inspiration in one package. Plus, you get to say you got married at a place that honors one of the greatest of all time—how cool is that?


newlyweds posing in an archway at The Brown Hotel

Timeless. Iconic. Luxurious. The Brown Hotel is one of those venues that makes you feel like you’re stepping into a classic movie (and you’re the stars!). The architecture, the staircases, the chandeliers—it’s a dream come true for anyone who wants that old-school glam aesthetic. And the photos? They’re always breathtaking.


newlyweds enjoying their first dance at their reception at Rivers Edge Events and Rentals

If you’re craving that laid-back, rustic charm without sacrificing elegance, River’s Edge is the one. It offers a peaceful, nature-filled backdrop with open-air vibes and room to celebrate with all your favorite people. The sunsets here are unreal—and I’ve got the gallery proof to back it up.


Final Thoughts:

No matter your wedding vibe, Louisville has a venue that will speak your love language—and I’d love to be there to capture every second of it. If you’re still venue hunting, hopefully this little list gives you a starting point. And if you’ve already booked one of these amazing spots? Let’s chat!

Happy planning! 💍✨– Laura
