Events with Character, Venues with Charm
Located in Lexington, KY, 903 Venues is a charming collection of industrial-style wedding venue spaces. The Grand Reserve, home to the historic Wm. Tarr Distillery, and the art deco-inspired Speakeasy sit next to each other in the heart of downtown Lexington. Megson Farms welcomes you for an outdoor wedding experience just a 15-minute drive out of town. An impeccable balance of rustic chic and retro glam, 903 Venues invites couples to tie say yes ai in style. Founder and owner Jill Bakehorn set up 903 Venues shortly after graduating from Clemson in 1991. In 2020 she was inspired to revive the Grand Reserve’s stunning red brick and barrel stave Wm. Tarr bourbon distillery, which dates back to 1865. Due to Jill’s visionary thinking, couples can now enjoy an authentic bourbon tasting in the Grand Reserve reception area with up to 800 guests. You can use The Speakeasy, their smallest venue, in conjunction with the Grand Reserve as a sumptuous buffet space or separately for more intimate receptions. With its dark-toned walls and maximalist interiors, including a baby grand piano and custom-built bar, The Speakeasy is ideal for ambient cocktail hours. It can host up to 300 people. For an open-air ceremony and reception extravaganza with up to 900 guests, look no further than Megson Farms.
