From the reviews
Beautiful place inside and out. We attended a wedding here and everything went very well and all looked amazing. Definitely recommend if you can afford it.
A magical experience! Tayvin Gardens is ran by a wonderful family. Kim, venue owner with her husband, was very hands on and ensure all my wedding needs were met without ton of restrictions like some venues.
Tavin Gardens has the perfect setting for your wedding. Beautiful Garden for the Wedding Ceremony, the venue inside is air conditioned making you and your guests comfortable. The Chef has excellent skills providing the most unique menu for your wedding. The menu and taste will WOW your guest!!
We’ve dj’ed here many times and also attended weddings here. The venue is absolutely stunning. We have worked at many venues across Kentucky and Tennessees and it is definitely one of the most beautiful! The coordinator there is amazing and is definitely the best we have ever worked with!!!
Getting married at Tayvin Gardens
Tayvin Gardens comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
