Weddings

When you celebrate your special day at the Kentucky Derby Museum you add a piece of your own family history to ours. The cherished treasures of the first Saturday in May. The legends in horseracing. The traditions, the pageantry, and history. From the classic elegance of The Great Hall to the contemporary charm of our café and new outdoor terrace, our venue spaces provide the perfect blend of modern amenities and Kentucky tradition.
