    Taylor Mansion – A Perfect Wedding Weekend Stay

    We hosted our wedding at the Taylor Mansion in Newport, KY, and stayed there with 11 guests over three nights—it was truly the perfect venue and home for such a special occasion. The mansion itself is a stunning historic property built in 1837, and staying there felt like stepping into a piece of history. Yet, it’s fully updated with modern amenities that made our stay incredibly comfortable. The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped, ideal for cooking for a large group, and the generous counter space made buffet-style meals easy to serve. The living areas are cozy and inviting, and the bathrooms are absolutely luxurious—especially the main bedroom’s shower with its multiple jets, which felt like a spa experience. There was plenty of room for all our guests to spread out and relax, and the Taylor Mansion team was incredibly responsive and helpful. When we had a minor issue with the disposal, they had someone out the next morning to fix it—no stress at all. As a wedding venue, the Taylor Mansion exceeded every expectation. Their team handled all the setup, including table layout and chair selection, and even brought in a cleaner before the event to ensure everything was perfect. They were available throughout the day for any questions or last-minute needs, which gave us peace of mind to truly enjoy the celebration. We held our ceremony on the first-floor balcony, which offered beautiful views and a romantic atmosphere. The old office was transformed into our dance floor, and the built-in sound system made it easy to play our Spotify playlist for the ceremony, dinner, and dancing. One of the standout features was the vintage wooden bar with a brass foot rail—it added so much character to the reception space. We chose Kate Catering, one of their preferred vendors, and the food was absolutely phenomenal. Their staff was professional, friendly, and helped elevate the entire experience. Whether you're looking for a unique and elegant wedding venue or a place to host a memorable group stay, Taylor Mansion is a true gem. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

No
Yes, we do have on-site parking. There are numerous parking spots available on the right side of the property. In addition, the city requires a third-party shuttle service to transport guests to and from the venue. There are also several parking garages located within 500 feet of the property for added convenience.
No, we do not have accessible facilities. As the property is historic, it was not constructed with modern accessibility features such as ramps, elevators, or ADA-compliant restrooms. We want to be upfront so guests can plan accordingly. However, we do plan to offer a portable wheelchair ramp.
Our base rental fee includes full-day or multi-day access, along with time for setup and cleanup. It covers the ceremony site, reception area, bridal suite, groom’s lounge, full kitchen/prep space, outdoor patio and grounds, tables, chairs, cocktail tables, basic linens, post-event cleaning, an integrated sound system, and a dedicated venue coordinator. We also offer mid-event room turnovers at an extra cost, allowing guests to transform spaces to suit their vision throughout the day.
Your reservation includes 12 hours from start to finish, including the time it takes our staff to set up and clean up. Any additional time will be billed at $500 per hour.
Booking fees for our facilities, and all payments made including deposits, are non-refundable.
Our building is located 14 miles away from Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG). By car, taxi, or rideshare, the drive takes around 18–20 minutes—just follow KY-212 to I-275, then take I-471 South into Newport and exit near downtown. For a budget-friendly option, the TANK 2X Airporter bus runs from CVG to downtown Cincinnati, where you can transfer to TANK Route 25 to Newport and walk a few blocks to the venue. Private shuttles and car services are also available if booked in advance.
No, separate insurance isn’t necessary as our venue is fully insured. We do ask that a liability waiver be signed ahead of the event date.
