Warrenwood Manor

Warrenwood Manor is a historic wedding and event venue set on a farm estate in Danville, Kentucky. The property centers on a Greek Revival home with gothic exterior built in 1856 by the sons of Captain William Warren, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 for its architectural, agricultural, and military significance. After surviving a tornado, a roof collapse, years of vacancy, and two demolition threats, the manor was rescued and restored beginning in 2014 — an effort recognized with a 2019 Preservation Kentucky Award for Excellence. The venue brings together a historic manor house, a rustic-yet-elegant event barn, and expansive grounds suited to outdoor ceremonies, accommodating celebrations of up to 180 guests. The house offers a charming, intimate setting for smaller gatherings and getting-ready moments, while the barn serves as the primary reception space. All event areas are ADA compliant. Since opening, Warrenwood Manor has hosted over 400 events and earned recognition as a nine-time winner of The Knot Best of Weddings Award and a member of The Knot Best of Weddings Hall of Fame, alongside four Wedding Wire Couples' Choice Awards.
