Ashley showed us how she can transform a picnic date, anniversary dinner under the stars or baby shower into a one-of-a-kind event. The only limit is your imagination. From the backdrop of custom balloonscapes to place settings Picnics In The Lou will dial down to every detail to make your event or maybe just a date night extra special. I'm thinking celebrating with some special girlfriends would be the perfect picnic. Thanks to Cooper's Craft for the goodie bags!! The Blackberry Bourbon Smash was a hit while we watched Miss Ashley show us her beautiful work. THANK YOU ASHLEY....your work is amazing!!!

I was fortunate to have a 30th surprise party thrown for me at Mint on Mellwood and it was the…read morePERFECT venue. The staff was incredibly accommodating and worked with my family on logistics, catering, bar options, parking and keeping the entire thing a surprise up until the moment I walked through the door. The venue itself was very clean, spacious and flexible. My favorite part about it was all the Kentucky derby memorabilia that fills the walls - it's like walking through a museum! I highly recommend using this venue for parties, receptions, showers or anything else you can think of.

Mint on Mellwood is a great space to have any kind of function or gathering. It is very fitting…read morethat it is "Mint on Mellwood" because it is owned by Mint Julep Tours! The area is located in the Butchertown area where you are surrounded by other great restaurants, breweries/distilleries, boutiques, the arts, etc. The space is open & has the potential to be any kind of set up you want. We had hot & cold hors d'oeuvres, so I assume there were ways they were kept warm & cold between replenishments. The bathroom facilities were very neat & clean. The onsite staff were very inviting, social & professional.

We had fun exploring the various rooms: red carpet for the step & repeat, cash bar, main room with round tables, bathroom, private spaces with long tables or rounds, the space for a buffet of heavy starters and desserts and lastly, a gorgeous space designed by Maker's Mark. We walked upstairs to check out their private suite area, made perfect for bridal parties. A large mirror for getting ready plus styling tables to do hair and make up. Per the owner, this may turn into an AirBNB option. The faculty is perfect for events or large party gatherings. They have TVs throughout the building and I loved watching the photo loop of the theater's pictures. We enjoyed the food on the menu, especially the meatballs and roast beef sandwiches. Add this space to your list for event rentals! They have made partnerships with nearby hotels.

My husband was hesitant to go the first time because the decor is more feminine, but it became a favorite for him after our first visit! We've now gone to dinner there together twice, and shared brunch there with friends and family three times. Make a reservation! This place is getting very popular for good reason!

Ellen and her right hand man (Lady) Melissa are amazing. My now husband and I originally…read moreinterviewed a few wedding planners and coordinators in town and Ellen was immediately my first choice. She handled everything we needed in a timely manner and let my husband and I make decisions we both really wanted. Our wedding was held at the Frazier Museum in September 2017 and according to my family, my husbands family and all of the guests, there were no issues (Sorry Ellen and Melissa if there were :) ). Ellen was able to nail down the best vendors and work with us on a preferred caterer. There was literally nothing she didn't do that we had asked and even more. I cannot thank this team enough for the best night we could have ever had. Highly recommend this team of amazing ladies to plan a wedding or any big event!!!

We would recommend Ellen and her team to anyone!
