There’s something magical about a wedding day that reflects not just the couple’s love for each other, but also their shared passions and heritage. That was exactly the case for this beautiful couple who tied the knot at Castle & Key Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky—a place they fell in love with long before the proposal.
Love, Bourbon, and a Castle

Their mutual love of bourbon and Kentucky’s rich distilling history made Castle & Key the perfect choice. With its restored historic architecture, lush gardens, and romantic charm, the venue offered the perfect blend of elegance and character for their big day.

From intricate attire to ceremonial customs, the morning was filled with beauty, emotion, and cultural richness—setting a tone of love and unity for the rest of the day.
From Sacred Vows to All-Out Celebration
After the morning ceremony, the couple transitioned seamlessly into their Western-style wedding, where guests were welcomed by the sweeping views of Castle & Key’s grounds and the scent of summer in full bloom. The bride and groom radiated joy, their smiles never fading as they moved from “I do” to dancing all night.
