Avonley Homestead

GORGEOUS wedding venue in Shelbyville,KY! Really a stunning indoor/outdoor event space. Attended a wedding there in early October. About 150 people. White chairs were setup overlooking some rolling green fields. Lots of trees. It was peaceful and lovely. The indoor area had big sliding barn doors. Tables were setup inside for dinner after the ceremony. A tent was setup outside for music & dancing, Three restrooms were available. Parking was a little tight, but it worked out. Highly recommend this place.

The people are extremely nice people. And they have a beautiful place. My issue is with their contract. You have no wiggle room should you change your mind! My fiance and I changed our mind about using this location. In less than 30 days after paying almost $1800. We decided to spend more on our honeymoon than the wedding. We understand that there's a contract. And we did sign it. But to keep that amount of money only after 30 days of reconsidering! And being told that we took that date. Knowing they still have plenty of time to use that same date. As I said before. Very genuinely nice people. But we feel there's a bit of scam within the contract. And our wedding isn't until June 2025. $1800 is a lot of money to make of someone who changed their minds in less than 30 days after paying that amount of money. When the wedding was scheduled 11 months away. It was, and is a very expensive lesson. We also understand that it's business. But where's the compassion. Pretty sure they still can book the very date we cancelled. Words to wise! Spend more on your than your wedding. Sincerely Mo Diesel
