The mansion it's accompanying orchard, gardens & semi-permanent indoor tent provide the most beautiful backdrop for a wedding, rain or shine, or any event seeking a memorable, unique canvas. Cecilia & her team provide clear & helpful assistance as you plan your wedding, all the way from A to Z. Their experience & network of the very best vendors in the city will help you create a beautiful wedding. We didn't use this as a one-stop-shop, we did a lot of work to find the perfect photographers, cake & flowers in the city, but nearly all of them have worked with Cecilia & Pinecroft on previous occasion. All who had were very complimentary & shared great experiences when we told them we had reserved Pinecroft & the Funky's Catering team. Pinecroft pairs the venue & catering, & Funky's catering is the best in the city - so it's the perfect partnership. Pinecroft's full understanding of our plan for the whole day - ceremony to final dance made the evening flow beautifully from start to finish. The party flowed from beginning to end without a hitch. I could write much more, but instead I'll offer to answer any questions you might have if you'd like to send us a note. It was the best day of our lives & we owe a very large part of it to Pinecroft. THANK YOU!

The Pinecroft's venue is absolutely beautiful and perfect for a wedding, however the company that…read moredoes the catering, Funky's has been rather difficult to work with. The food is excellent and they offer many different options. My issue has been with communication with the representatives and a missing dress. When we booked the venue we were told that we (bride's family) would receive the leftover food which we did not receive. It's very difficult when you know for a fact that there was a decent amount left. I had paid extra money to have all of our things packed up and loaded into my car. So I had hoped that the food was packed and loaded in my car, which it wasn't. Then I had left a dress there and called the venue the next day and was told it was found and would be sent to me. It's been 6 weeks and have never received the dress. When I emailed them I was "informed" that it was sent. I contacted them about 1-2 weeks later asking yet again, and was told it was sent and there's nothing they can do about it. Sadly, with what has transpired between the contact person, I am having a hard time believing that something being mailed from Cincinnati to Northern Kentucky would not have reached me a long time ago, even if it got returned to sender, at least they would have let me know. And lastly, I was contacted two days after the event and was told they "forgot" to add a tax onto my final bill which I had paid in full prior to the wedding. They proceeded to tell me since the food being boxed and sent home with me was not written in the contract, that it was basically my fault. I hated doing it, but I said since the tax wasn't written down, that I shouldn't have to pay that. I had gotten so aggravated and to this day, 6 weeks after the wedding, I still haven't received my dress, and plan on never getting it. I didn't complain when we ran out of appetizers for 200 people, especially since I didn't see many of the staff walking around with them. The bride and groom only got 2 of each appetizers and that was it. You would think with 600 "pieces" that there would be enough for people. Everyday up to the wedding was perfect, but with what has occurred since then has left me feeling aggravated.

We hosted our daughter's wedding reception at Kayla's Korner at Lake Lyndsay on June 28, 2025. The…read morevenue itself is beautiful, and the lakeside setting made for some stunning photos. However, the experience leading up to and during the event was filled with stress, miscommunication, and disappointment--primarily due to our interactions with Lyndsay Rapier-Phipps. Our initial meetings with Teri and Sam were wonderful--they were kind, enthusiastic, and supportive of our ideas, including adding drapery, fireworks across the lake, access to the décor inventory, and decorating the night before. At $5,000, the venue felt like a great fit. But once communication shifted to Lyndsay, the tone changed. She never met with us in person, and responses became difficult and often frustrating. My daughter even forwarded me texts from Lyndsay saying, "I don't know what to do with this--can you contact them for me?" The draperies turned into a confusing and drawn-out process. I ultimately gave up on it to preserve my sanity. There were differences in what we were told during our visits versus what Lyndsay would email us. The biggest issue was about decorating the night before. We had confirmed with Sam in March and May that no event was scheduled, so we could decorate early. Yet two weeks before the wedding, we were told otherwise. We were offered early access at 7:00 a.m. the day of the event, which Lyndsay called "above and beyond." However, no staff were present at that time, as promised, and the cart and food tables we had spoke about during our planning meeting weren't there. They even did a tour for another party at our venue that morning as we were scrambling to get things done. I was flabbergasted. After calling and texting "Help!" a staff member finally arrived around 9am. We did change the count to include two additional tables just a week before our event (late RSVP's), but the layout had the walkways blocked. The event space says it can have up to 200 people, we had chairs/tables for 150. We had to rearrange every table ourselves that morning--including moving the bridal party tables--causing us to fall way behind schedule even with 20+ people helping. At the end of the night staff began clearing décor before the event had ended. The next day, we realized many of our gold chargers were missing. After contacting Becca, I was referred to Lyndsay, who refused to deliver them and said they'd be mailed in 3-4 weeks. However, after posting my reviews, she texted me to say they would no longer be mailed, and I would now have to schedule a pickup 24 hours in advance to retrieve them. We picked all 80 of them up a week later, and they were still filthy. If we had accidently taken their decor we would have returned it to them directly and they would absolutely be clean. When I messaged Lyndsay about this, she responded with personal insults against myself and said that I was "delusional". It's been 40 days since the wedding and they haven't given us our refunded $500 deposit back. We left the venue immaculate when we left. When I told Lyndsay we would be filing a small claims, she said "small claims could really cost you". I shielded my daughter from all this and she had a beautiful wedding day, and that's ultimately what matters most. I'm not trying to harm any business--this was simply our experience with Lake Lyndsay. Just be aware that while others have had a good experience, there may be a chance this could happen to you as well.

I recently visited this event space for a wedding reception/dinner. The building is beautiful. I'd…read morecertainly give this place a serious look when planning your event. The only reason that I'm knocking off a star is for the sound. It seems like it would be a good venue to hear when someone is talking with or without a microphone. Depending on where you're sitting, it's tough to hear. I couldn't hear many of the toasts during the dinner. No big deal because I just got up and moved about so that I could hear. For an event where movement might not be possible, good luck on hearing anything that could be said. The reception I attended had plenty of room. Two bars set up. A DJ. A dance area. The tables. Room for the food. This space can definitely be worked with to fit your needs. Check the place out and see if it'll fit your needs.

Quite beautiful wedding venue that is in the Lebanon Ohio Area, attended a ceremony there yesterday…read moreso I can only comment as a guest not as a bride/groom. --- Atmosphere: can you have a modern barn? Somebody called it barnchic yesterday at the wedding and I think that fits. It's a barn yes but the interior is quite modern, especially the restrooms. At one point in the night myself and another guest commented on how nice the bathroom sinks are, they are really really nice. Claims to fit 350 which may be possible if the weather allows patrons to go outside but the wedding I attended was 150ish? if I had to guess and it was a great space. Service: The bartenders, wait staff were incredibly polite, I felt that the service was pretty fantastic overall. No complaints on my end Food: Some people fret over food at weddings, I personally could care less about the food. It was perfectly adequate wedding food - Its what I want at a wedding, some mashed potatoes, green beans and chicken. Only complaint was the pork was dry. Bar service: I'm not sure if they have an inhouse bar staff or you have to use a mobile bar service but none-the-less the bartenders were great and the drinks were flowing and strong. --- Our service unfortunately fell on a colder day, I imagine if the weather cooperates you could open the doors and have an outside cocktail area during the transition from ceremony space to reception, but even with the weather being cold I thought the staff transitioned the area well. I didn't even realize it was happening until it was done Location is certainly a bit of an issue as its about a 15ish minute drive north of kings island. But that all being said I thought it is a beautiful and unique venue

I lived in Cincinnati for 4 years and I never even knew that the Carnegie Hall in Newport existed. I attended a friends wedding and they did both the ceremony and the reception inside the hall. The staff working here were super friendly and nice and very accommodating to everyone who was in attendance. The upstairs is where the wedding was at. The room was a little warm, but it was big enough to hold about 100 people. They did a very nice job with the set up of the chairs and the alter for the wedding. The sound system in the hall was great. For appetizer hour it was downstairs in the entry way. The area had two big rooms and a center room where the bar was set up. The food at the wedding was typical wedding food. It was good but not great. Overall I had a wonderful time at this wedding. I would for sure attend an event here or plan a wedding or function if I lived in town.

I went here for the first time for a wedding reception & it was really nice. The place was decorating beautifully, it was the perfect size and the price was great for what they provided. The second time I went was for a speaking engagement. Again it was nice and the food was fantastic, but the owner is going through a transitional period and I believe is selling this place. When I heard the name originally I thought it was some type of bar, but it's actually an events center. I tried to click on the website and it's down right now, so I don't know what the future holds for this little place, but if you're looking for an affordable and pretty location for a wedding reception, don't pass this place by without checking into it.
