Apart from the major urban hubs of Louisville and Lexington, Kentucky is mostly knit together by small, charming towns with laid-back vibes. The quiet locale, along with the pristine parks and forests, make Kentucky an ideal place for an intimate, open wedding. In Kentucky, the marriage license remains valid for 30 days, so obtaining it a few days before your save-the-date is advisable.
Among some unique and stunning venues in the state, you can host your wedding at distilleries and wineries such as Castle & Key Distillery and Talon Winery. You can also go a bit monumental and get married in a museum, such as Frazier History Museum. For something more intimate, you can find plenty of event-friendly Airbnb rentals offering gorgeous spots to tie the knot.
