Venue Features

The scene:

Our third generation 2,000-acre historical farm is surrounded by rolling hills and meticulously landscaped grounds that feature wildflowers and native grasses. A majority of the land is protected by a land conservation easement, and the entire property is on the National Register of Historic Places. We offer beautiful indoor and outdoor event spaces and host events year round. Our reimagined “Show Barn” has a commercial kitchen, two exquisite built-in bars, reception area and dining room, a cozy library, second-floor mezzanine and in climate weather event space as well as a unique wine cellar and tasting room boasting a glass spiral staircase and lookout room with views over the property. Our custom-built farm tables and leather dining chairs elevate any event decor and feel like a natural extension of the Show Barn. Ceremonies and events overlook a 180-degree view picturesque Kentucky landscape as well as our equestrian arena and the nearby sporting clay course.

Design:

All of the impeccable interior design details and artwork were thoughtfully selected to represent Ashbourne’s history and Kentucky culture. The Show Barn features reclaimed wood and exposed beams with plenty of contrasting details such as leather wrapped brass hand rails, marble bar top, limestone tile, as well as custom light fixtures throughout that provide a perfect glow. Handpicked antiques and well appointed furniture like Arnie Norell Chairs make each space feel luxurious and cozy. A custom green leather door opens up the library that also features a wall of built in book shelves and a hidden TV. The gorgeous vignettes of furniture scattered around the facility can be easily moved to create unique sitting areas that break up the event space.

Standout venue features:

Ashbourne Farms’ staff is deeply committed to customizing the experience of each guest. Our chefs work hand in hand with our garden team, so we can grow produce specifically for your event (think farm grown mint for your party’s mint juleps or mojitos and baby lettuces from our greenhouses being picked fresh the day of your event). A chef-driven menu consultation for each client guarantees the perfect menu. We also offer a thoughtfully curated selection of tabletop items such as collected antique silver-plate flatware, brass pepper grinders and locally made stoneware pitchers. We want to take as much of the stress out of the planning as possible and let you enjoy your day, so typical rental items such as chairs, tables, plates, and barware are also included. State-of-the-art A/V equipment is also available with ample power for professional live entertainment. Your band will be delighted to relax in our well-appointed green room.

SPORTING
The grounds of Ashbourne Farms are intensely managed to bring out the best of Kentucky’s diverse landscape. Ashbourne Farms supports many game species such as whitetail deer, Eastern wild turkey, wild bobwhite quail, and cottontail rabbit. At any given time we have about a dozen horses on the property who are either grazing in the fields, exercising in the eventing arena or relaxing in their stables. Beyond the typical event scope, our 2,000 acres give us the opportunity to create unique experiences for your guests. Imagine a horse exercising in the arena during your cocktail hour for all your guests to see or a brunch along the side of a polo match. Guests can also learn to wing shoot on the professionally designed sporting clays course, or try out a fly fishing excursion on one of Ashbourne’s managed ponds.
