If you had to plan your wedding again, would you keep everything the same? Bridal trends for 2024 are foregoing some old traditions like formal cake cutting, large bridal showers, and farewell brunches. Instead, couples in 2024 are opting for more personal celebrations in less conventional venues.
According to The Knot, a leading all-around wedding planning resource, soon-to-be-weds are looking for unforgettable venues and hidden gems, including a well-known Louisville spot you may not have considered for your special day.
The Knot’s Unforgettable Venues Collection features a curated selection of 54 exceptional wedding venues that your guests will rave about. The list includes unique and unforgettable wedding venues across the United States, from historic landmarks to locations made famous by movies and TV shows.
In Louisville, The Knot presents the Kentucky Derby Museum as a unique and historic venue for your wedding day.
“The museum’s unique atmosphere combined with its deep historical significance and exceptional service make it an unforgettable wedding venue, as evidenced by the rave reviews from couples on The Knot Vendor Marketplace,” said Lauren Kay, Editor-in-Chief of The Knot. “The Kentucky Derby is one of the world’s most iconic and beloved cultural events, with people gathering each year to watch and host their own celebrations. The rich history and tradition of this iconic sporting event is proudly celebrated at the Kentucky Derby Museum, providing couples with a unique, elegant and unforgettable setting for a wedding.”
Other venues include iconic locations made famous by celebrities, movies and television shows, including Oheka Castle from Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space” music video, Ross and Rachel’s wedding at the Little White Wedding Chapel, and the American Theater from “The Notebook.”
In addition to the Kentucky Derby Museum in the historic venue category, The Knot suggests Carnegie Hall in New York City. Or how about a kitschy choice? For couples willing to travel to Las Vegas, Nevada, the list includes the Taco Bell Cantina. For a scenic wedding destination, The Knot recommends Zion Red Rock in Rockville, Utah, or Savannah Riverboat Cruises in Georgia. However, we would suggest saving the travel costs and considering Louisville’s Belle of Louisville if a river cruise wedding is your dream.
