Louisville, KY. – Whitehall is pleased to announce that it will be offering micro weddings on Friday, December 8, 2023. Couples who want to avoid the stress and expense of a large wedding may choose one of several time slots to be married in the historic mansion, which will be beautifully decorated for the season. The cost is $1,000 and will include an officiant to perform the ceremony; cake and sparkling cider; and a complimentary wedding portrait with the option to purchase additional photos. Up to 20 guests may attend. Couples may also choose to renew their vows. A limited number of time slots are still available. For more information, visit https://www.historicwhitehall.org/holiday-micro-weddings or call (502) 897-2944.
Proceeds from the Holiday Micro Weddings benefit Whitehall House & Gardens, a historic house owned and operated by the not-for-profit Historic Homes Foundation, Inc. Built in the mid-1850s and extensively renovated in 1909, Whitehall has been home to at least six different families, including the Chief Justice of the Kentucky Court of Appeals, Henry J. Stites (1816-91). At just under ten acres, Whitehall’s grounds and gardens represent a growing horticulture resource. A small arboretum features over 200 trees, including a rare specimen collection that has become an important source of propagation of interesting species. Whitehall’s Woodland Garden, a Victorian stumpery nestled in a wooded corner of the grounds, presents a regionally unprecedented collection of ferns and other woodland plants and is an official Display Garden of the Hardy Fern Foundation.
