  Burdoc Farms is a 700-acre wedding destination set among the rolling hills and forests of western Kentucky, roughly equidistant between Nashville and Evansville. The Shepherd family has stewarded the land since 1942, first as a tobacco and cattle operation and later as a conservation farm focused on timber, wildlife, and agri-tourism. When guests at an early farm celebration urged the family to open to weddings professionally, they renovated their historic tobacco barn and never looked back. Today Sara, Jessica, and Jackie Shepherd host 60 to 80 weddings each year, drawing couples from across the country and abroad. The property offers two distinct venues. Keith Glen is a modern, climate-controlled building constructed in 2016, featuring a 30-foot floor-to-ceiling glass wall overlooking a pond with fountain and swans, and accommodates up to 200 seated guests. The Tobacco Barn is a restored historic barn with seven antique crystal chandeliers, Edison string lights, and a 150-year-old stone fireplace on the back deck, seating up to 165 guests with the adjacent Chapel Barn serving as a ceremony space. Both venues include on-site staff, furniture, and access to the full grounds for photography. In addition to full weddings, Burdoc Farms offers elopements, micro-weddings, all-inclusive packages, and corporate events, with on-property lodging available for overnight stays.
