Transparent. Simple. Customizeable.
Friends, we know selecting your wedding venue can be a confusing process. That’s why we’ve jammed as much value, transparency and ease into our packages as possible.
If you’re planning a Red River Gorge destination wedding, we can help make the experience an enjoyable one.
Simply select the package that best fits your needs and customize with enhancements you care about. Add in a bar package (or not…dry weddings are fun too!) and voila! YOUR day. YOUR way.
No hidden fees. No sneaky charges. No stress. The way we believe booking a venue should be.
Although we require event insurance and a dedicated Day of Coordinator, we offer assistance and suggestions that work with a variety of budgets to help make that easy too. The state of KY does charge a 6% sales tax on rentals and services, but that can be easily split into your monthly payments. Pricing is subject to change, so please refer to your quote and/or invoice for the most recent rates.

“I would recommend this venue a 100 times over for anyone looking to get married in Kentucky”
Hemlock Springs really blew it out of the park for me. I’m a really shy person and for the bride for their wedding day they are the center of attention! Everyone at Hemlock Springs was incredibly respectful, kind and considerate of that – Liz was fantastic and Holly was such a sweet heart. I am so deeply moved by how everyone went out of their way to make my wedding day the best they could for me (I’m even getting a little teary eyed now thinking about it) Liz communicated so much with my mom and I and was always checking on me and making sure things were moving in the right direction. When it came to the day of I went with the coordinator package and everything went off without a hitch! I would recommend this venue a 100 times over for anyone looking to get married in Kentucky – Did I mention the surrounding area is beautiful? The ceremony site and the reception site have been so well taken care of. Thank you so much Hemlock Springs for making my wedding day amazing.

“Liz & Skip & Holly work to guide you in the direction of the best decisions while also honoring your unique style and vision.”
Liz & Skip have poured their heart and soul into creating this venue. it shows in every are of their property from the thoughtful handmade wooden decorative signs, to the perfect lighting found throughout every location, to the endless options Liz and Holly provide at making your day so uniquely yours. Nathan and I had the best experience and cannot reccomend them enough. They truly made our wedding the most unique and beautiful day. I have worked with venues in the past, as a wedding photographer myself, who have been picky and difficult to meeting the clients desires and not just their own desires as a venue. Liz & Skip & Holly work to guide you in the direction of the best decisions while also honoring your unique style and vision. We LOVE them!

“We love Skip, Liz, and Hemlock Springs as a whole!”
Hemlock Springs is the definition of a whimsical, fairytale woods venue. From the first moment we drove up, we felt warm and invited. Skip and Liz have done an outstanding job – thinking of everything, and taking the time to care for details – to make it feel so cozy to anyone who visits. We truly can’t imagine our special day going any better. We love Skip, Liz, and Hemlock Springs as a whole! Not to mention their wonderful, caring staff.
