The National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky is America's dedicated home for the Chevrolet Corvette — a 115,000-square-foot facility that opened in 1994 directly across from the General Motors Bowling Green Assembly Plant, where every Corvette has been built since 1981. The museum's signature yellow Skydome, a cone-shaped structure visible from Interstate 65, has made the building itself a recognized landmark. For private events, the museum offers a range of spaces suited to groups from 50 to 1,500 guests — from the 8,297-square-foot Conference Center, which features a stage, bar, and prep kitchen, to the reimagined Skydome with its nearly 360-degree SKYWALL video display that can be customized to showcase sponsor content or event branding. Corvette Boulevard provides flexible reception and trade-show overflow space, while the Chevrolet Theater offers a theater-configured setting with surround sound and HD projection. Smaller gatherings are served by the Stingray Grill, which seats up to 60, and the Gardner/Mattson Boardroom for meetings of up to 20. Events at the museum carry an unmistakable backdrop: over 80 Corvettes on display across eight generations of the car's history. Catering is handled through the museum's approved vendor list, and the Facilities Rental office is staffed Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The Paramount Arts Center is a historic Art Deco theater in Ashland, Kentucky, that has anchored the city's cultural life since opening on September 5, 1931. Designed by Rapp and Rapp — the firm behind Chicago's renowned Chicago Theatre — the building was conceived as one of Paramount Publix Corporation's model movie houses for the talking-picture era. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it stands as a contributing property to the Ashland Commercial Historic District, with an interior distinguished by Egyptian Revival detailing in oxblood red, gold, silver, and bronze. The nonprofit organization operates as a full-service performing arts venue, hosting concerts, Broadway productions, symphonies, ballets, film screenings, and community celebrations for an attendance of approximately 250,000 visitors each year. The intimate auditorium seats 1,417 across orchestra and balcony levels, creating direct sightlines and close acoustics between performers and guests. For private events, the Paramount offers several rental options. The theatre auditorium accommodates up to 1,400 guests for ceremonies, galas, and large gatherings. The Marquee Room provides a smaller setting suited for luncheons, showers, anniversaries, and business meetings, while the Banquet Hall in the Paramount Annex — connected to the main building — handles larger receptions. Outside caterers are permitted with prior approval, and the venue's in-house sound and lighting systems are available for rentals.
