Wedding FAQs

Answers to the questions we hear most from couples planning their day at Rose Hill.

Rose Hill Inn, a historic estate wedding venue in Versailles, Kentucky, hosts weddings of up to 75 guests. We offer three experiences to fit your celebration: the Grand Estate Wedding Weekend for up to 75 guests, the Signature Micro-Wedding for up to 30 guests, and the Timeless Elopement for up to 15 guests.

The Grand Estate Wedding Weekend is our full experience: up to 75 guests, a private Friday–Sunday weekend, six historic suites for two nights, and a 30×40 reception tent. The Signature Micro-Wedding is designed for up to 30 guests, with eight hours of private event time, three suites for two nights, and both ceremony and reception on-site. The Timeless Elopement is our most intimate option, for up to 15 guests, with five hours of access and one historic suite for two nights. All three include a dedicated Venue Coordinator and wedding furniture.

Grand Estate Wedding Weekend at Rose Hill Inn begins Friday afternoon, when you and your guests arrive, settle into the suites, and gather for a rehearsal. Saturday brings breakfast together, time to get ready in our private bridal preparation space, the ceremony, and your reception under our tented lawn. On Sunday morning, everyone gathers one final time for breakfast before saying goodbye. Smaller packages, like the Signature Micro-Wedding and Timeless Elopement, follow a similarly relaxed, unhurried structure on a shorter timeline.

Yes. Rose Hill Inn’s wedding packages include overnight stays in our historic suites, so you can spend your wedding weekend together under one roof rather than dispersing to separate hotels. The Grand Estate Wedding Weekend includes all six suites for two nights; smaller packages include a subset of suites sized to your celebration.

For the Grand Estate Wedding Weekend, your ceremony takes place in the garden, cocktail hour is held inside the Inn, and your reception is hosted in our tented space, which includes sidewalls for coverage and comfort. Reception cannot be held indoors for this package.

For our smaller Signature Micro-Wedding and Timeless Elopement packages, the ceremony is usually held in the garden as well, with the reception following indoors in the Inn’s living room or dining room. We monitor weather forecasts closely in the days leading up to your wedding so we can plan ahead, and for the Grand Estate Wedding Weekend, in the event of severe weather, such as heavy lightning, we can move to a modified ceremony and reception in the Inn’s living room or dining room as a last resort.

We monitor weather forecasts closely as your wedding approaches so we can be as prepared as possible. For the Grand Estate Wedding Weekend, if it rains, the ceremony can be held in our Living/Dining Room. Cocktail hour then stays inside the Inn, and your reception follows back in the tent. Only in the case of severe weather, such as heavy lightning, would we move to an indoor ceremony & reception in the Inn’s living room, dining room, and library as a last resort.

Due to the historic character of our 1823 Federal-style property, Rose Hill Inn is not wheelchair accessible for wedding ceremonies or receptions. The garden, tented reception space, and pathways across the grounds are not wheelchair accessible, and the historic main building has additional barriers, including steps at all entrances and narrow interior hallways. We’re not able to make structural changes to accommodate wheelchair access without compromising the property’s historic integrity. If you have guests with mobility needs, please contact our team directly so we can talk through your specific situation. You can also read our full Accessibility Statement for more detail on the property.

Yes, your dog is welcome to be part of your ceremony and photos at Rose Hill Inn, with a few requirements. Due to our insurance policy, dogs must be 50 pounds or under, must be leashed, and must have a dedicated handler with them at all times while on the property. Handlers are responsible for cleaning up after the dog. If you’d like to include your fur baby in your wedding day, we’ll add an addendum to your contract outlining the specific breeds we’re unable to allow, along with other applicable terms and conditions. Your dog may arrive before the ceremony but is not permitted inside the Inn or guest suites at any time — outdoor areas only. Following the ceremony and photos, the dog must leave the property; dogs cannot stay on-site, indoors or outdoors, during cocktail hour or the reception, both for the comfort of our other guests and because the noise and atmosphere of the celebration isn’t a good environment for your pet. Rose Hill Inn reserves the right to ask that the dog leave the property at any time if its behavior affects the comfort or experience of the guests.

Because Rose Hill Inn hosts a limited number of weddings each year to preserve an intimate, unhurried experience, most couples book 12–18 months in advance. That said, we currently have select spring and summer 2027 dates available, so it’s worth reaching out even if your timeline is shorter.
