Yew Dell Botanical Gardens

Yew Dell Botanical Gardens is a nationally recognized botanical garden and historic estate set on 33 acres in Crestwood, Kentucky. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the property combines a rich horticultural legacy with a setting that has made it one of the region's most sought-after event destinations. The grounds offer a range of distinct outdoor and indoor spaces — from the expansive Mary F. Rounsavall Pavilion, which accommodates up to 300 guests, to the intimate Gheens Barn, a climate-controlled historic structure built into a hillside that seats up to 120 for ceremonies. The ceremony lawn, framed by the signature Holly Allée of towering holly trees, provides a naturally canopied setting for outdoor weddings. The 1950s fieldstone Yew Dell Castle and a restored 1840s log cabin round out the collection of character spaces across the property. Yew Dell hosts weddings, corporate events, retreats, and private celebrations. Wedding packages include tables, chairs, market lights, event staff, and access to the garden cottage. The gardens are open for private rentals from May through October.
