This is a common question in local wedding groups so we thought we’d share some of the research we’ve compiled:
O'Shea's Downtown has several spaces, from the Whiskey Cellar, Skylight Room, Grand Loft Champion’s Room to the 123 Room, or head on up to the rooftop for the Penthouse & Rooftop Garden or if you prefer space in the Highlands check out O’Shea’s Carriage House, The Grotto, & The Garden Bar. In case you’d rather the other side of the River check out O’Shea’s H.M. Franks in Jeffersonville where you can rent the Monroe Room
Angel’s Envy has 2 fabulous spaces available and we were obsessed getting to view it all at a Private event we went to. You can choose between the Finishing room or the Toasting Room & Bar
Union Gameyard is just across the river
Le Moo and in the same vein they also have Grassa Gramma and The Village Anchor
Doc Crows has great options. Choose from Doc Crow's Southern Smokehouse & Raw Bar, Doc's Gallery, and Doc's Bourbon Room
The Blind Squirrel - Tina is always helpful to our couples so you should definitely check out the private room they have
Selena’s at Willow Lake Tavern They have a great outdoor patio area and you can hold a rehearsal on the lawn next to it
3rd Turn Gardens has several spaces - for Crestwood - and for Jeffersontown
Against the Grain Brewery has 2 locations - one in the Highlands with a private space - and one in Downtown Louisville near 4th street
8up Louisville is a great Rooftop bar space and you can definitely book your private event there - and they are connected to The Henry Clay so if you need a venue for your wedding it’s a great combo. We’ve done several weddings at The Henry Clay over our 17 years in business and can always recommend you check them out.
Troll Pub Under the Bridge Downtown Louisville
Mussel & Burger Bar Downtown or Taylorsville Rd

Harry’s Taphouse has 2 locations to check out in Jeffersonville, IN
Watch Hill Proper in Prospect, KY
The Eagle in Louisville on Bardstown Rd and also in Oxmoor
Malone’s on Summit Plaza Dr - Malone’s Steakhouse Louisville
Proof on Main which is attached to 21C Hotel Louisville - and we have done events at 21C so if you need a venue and love art you need to check them out and subsequently 21C Hotel Lexington is a fabulous venue and has LockBox Restaurant available to book for your rehearsal dinner
RecBar 812 in New Albany - which personally is a fave restaurant for us - has a private space that’s great for a rehearsal dinner or even a pre-wedding party
Sticking around in New Albany is a good idea as you can also venture over to Board & You Bistro & Wine Bar - while you’re there you can even place an order for charcuterie boards for your getting ready spaces
The Patio at PARLOUR on Frankfort Ave
Molly Malone's on Bardstown Rd
Coal’s Artisan Pizza has 2 locations to pick from - St Matthews or Middletown
Bristol Bar & Grille in the Highlands
