Be inspired by Corey and Tanner's West Lot wedding, and Miller and Andrew's rehearsal dinner at Meadowview Barn.

You're invited to discover a storybook wedding destination at Kentucky's largest National Historic Landmark. Join us for an afternoon of bites and bubbles from our catering menu while you tour four unique wedding and reception venues across the Village.

We'll begin at the Meadowview Barn, a restored open-air tobacco barn located above Shawnee Run Creek. Our Event Services Team will be there to meet and greet you, and present our full-service venue options which include onsite catering, overnight rooms, rehearsal dinner options and customizable activities for your guests to enjoy.

Three additional venues are available for you to explore, including:

  • The West Lot Dwelling which features a large, sunny reception room, double parlor, covered porch and enclosed courtyard, as well as six en-suite guest rooms. Its lawn and adjoining wildflower meadow are ideal locations for outdoor weddings and receptions.
  • The 1820 Meeting House, where the Shakers worshipped and danced, is located in the heart of the Village's Turnpike and within walking distance of several reception venues.
  • Shaker Landing, located along the Kentucky River, is our newest venue and features our restored  riverboat as a special feature.

SHaker Village Farm Meat Shares

Prepare for the holidays, special occasions and celebrations by reserving your meat share from the Shaker Village Farm. By supporting our farm, you are helping us to continue to provide produce and meat grown and raised in a healthy, sustainable and regenerative way.

Raised in the tradition of the Shaker spirit, our livestock live solely on pasture. We focus on raising heritage breeds, or animals we find that suit our regenerative management philosophy.

This year we have expanded our offerings to include poultry, pork, lamb and beef. You can reserve your share today with a deposit. Please note that pork and lamb shares will incur an additional finishing fee to the processer.

Registration Closed

 

Poultry - Our Broad-Breasted Turkeys are pasture-raised and rotated to a new space weekly.

Pork – We have a mix of Red Waddle and Tamworth Hogs, a breed the Shakers raised in the 19th century. Our pigs live in our pastures and are fed a non-GMO diet.

Lamb – Our Hair Breed Lambs are grass-finished on Shaker Village’s pastures and across the street at a solar farm where they graze from spring to winter.

Beef – Shorthorn Cattle has a long tradition at Pleasant Hill. Our Shorthorn herd is 100% grass-finished beef, and raised on the same pastures they occupied more than 100 years ago.
