ROUND BARN
Designed for weddings, private celebrations, and memorable gatherings
Step into a piece of Kentucky history. Built in 1882 adjacent to the legendary Red Mile Racetrack, The Round Barn Stable of Memories is one of Lexington’s most iconic architectural treasures. Originally designed as an exhibition hall before housing horses for the races, this four-story circular barn has been lovingly preserved and transformed into an extraordinary event venue, perfect for weddings, galas, corporate gatherings, and special celebrations, that captures the romance of the Bluegrass.
A stunning chandelier cascades through the center of the barn,casting warm light over your celebration. Exposed wooden beams, original brick, and elegant drapery create a rustic-yet-refined atmosphere that photographs beautifully from every angle.
Designed to accommodate both intimate moments and large-scale events, the Round Barn offers flexible floorplans, generous guest capacity, nearby parking, and seamless access to downtown hotels, restaurants, and Lexington’s entertainment district.

What Our Clients Say
★★★★★
“We had the best experience with the Round Barn venue and Bayou Bluegrass Catering for our wedding. It was such a beautiful venue and the staff made our wedding perfect! Our friends and family still rave about how amazing the food was and how well the staff treated them. They are very professional and easy to communicate with. The location was perfect! Our friends, family and wedding party stayed at the hotel within walking distance which made everything go smoothly. Allison did so well and helped us with every little detail. We cannot say thank you enough! We highly recommend the venue and caterer to anyone getting married.”

“We were there for an annual fundraiser benefiting a local rescue. Fun, Mardi Gras theme for this one with the menu and decorations. Had a couple hundred on bottom floor only, plenty of room.”

“I photographed Adrian + Kori’s wedding reception here in 2022. It is a beautiful option for an event space. And the sunset’s are amazing in the area. This is one of the only venues that has a setup that allows me to photograph down on a couple during dancing. Combine that unique angle with a DJ who provides dancing on a cloud, you get an amazing photo.”
