We booked it for both a corporate event for our California business and also a personal party in 2015 to entertain friends within a one hour flight from Chicago. I was referred to it by a guy in New York who was looking for a place to entertain two sets of clients, one in in Lexington and one in Louisville, at a central location around the Oaks and to do the Bourbon trail one day. It is a midpoint location part way between. They have a unique high ceiling apartment rental next door that I think you can rent in conjunction with the event space. The unit is huge. I stayed one day while I was siting my party weekend. That makes for a great place for the wedding party say or to entertain the most important clients at your event. Both the space and the loft are very unique and have a much younger/modern vibe compared to the traditional decor and architecture for this town. There is a good Mexican restaurant next door. I really liked the open layout, you could decorate it however you liked if you wanted to do a theme, but it also looks great with the minimalist shop lights and functional sliding warehouse-style door. I don't want to quote prices because it probably depends but I was surprised how reasonable it was, talk to them yourself... The primary drawbacks as I see it is there is nothing else to rent like this within 20 miles, so I probably will have to rent it several years in advance and I tend to have a hard time planning work events too far in advance so it may be booked before my 16 and 17 event is planned. I talked to Kevin, who was very informative and down to earth. I met with an owner there also who happened to be dropping by to weigh in on some details. He is a broker in this town and said he did this as a creative outlet (enjoys rehabbing historic properties) and to increase the demand for permanent housing nearby as he is an investor, so that is how he can justify to rent it out at what I calc'd to be below-market rates for this type of space. If you like modern style, high ceilings and flexible space with a nod to the past and walkability to nearby goods and services(huge factor for us) is a big consideration for you, this is your thing. Check it out for yourself ... I think you will agree with what I am saying though- the place is sharp and this town had needed something like it for a long time. Look forward to many events here.

Quaint and in the heart of sweet Shelbyville! Don't know much about price range of renting the venue but it's worth checking into for any private party or quaint wedding!!! Down side to the location is finding it! But- once you do- it so neat and special!!! To the owners- you may want to paint the back door a funky bright color for parkers that park behind the venue to find the right entrance!! And painting the front door the same! We were a bit confused of where to get in... But that seems to be an easy fix!

The first experience I had with this location was attending an orientation to volunteer in the public schools. Public meetings such as the Triple S Planning Commission are held on a regular schedule at this location. Other large public meetings such as the study on the By-Pass Road were scheduled to be held here for public comment. I've also attended private parties that needed open space for such occassions as a 50th Wedding Anniversary or a Sweet Sixteen party. Additionally, I attended a Fish Fry Fund Raising event that rented this location. The large room plus the use of the kitchen worked out well. Yay, I'm a fan is the perfect rating for this location!

I was down there on the Bourbon trail and gave it a try. The building had a faux facade of a large columned roman revival plantation building. It seemed elegant until you got inside then everyone sits in one noisy gigantic room like a cafeteria. Fried chicken, cream corn, and mashed potatoes. Food was very bland. Gravy is white. I asked for brown. It had a heavy Worcestershire flavor -not good. It just wasn' t very good, unfortunately. We were the youngest people here, and that's saying something. The place was packed and service was slow. We were asked to move at one point to make more room for a larger group to use our table because there were only three in our party. The waitress was over worked and inattentive. We had to ask her for things multiple times. You can skip this.

My fiance and I changed our mind about using this location. In less than 30 days after paying almost $1800. We decided to spend more on our honeymoon than the wedding. We understand that there's a contract. And we did sign it. But to keep that amount of money only after 30 days of reconsidering! And being told that we took that date. Knowing they still have plenty of time to use that same date. As I said before. Very genuinely nice people. But we feel there's a bit of scam within the contract. And our wedding isn't until June 2025. $1800 is a lot of money to make of someone who changed their minds in less than 30 days after paying that amount of money. When the wedding was scheduled 11 months away. It was, and is a very expensive lesson. We also understand that it's business. But where's the compassion. Pretty sure they still can book the very date we cancelled. Words to wise! Spend more on your than your wedding. Sincerely Mo Diesel

The facility itself is perfect - clean, spacious and the perfect location to host a family event. We paid a little extra for the A/V package and the podium and microphone came in handy. While we opted to bring in our own speaker, Shawn pointed out the we could use the large tv to login to Youtube and show our uploaded videos (at no extra charge) should we need to. The Kitchen was right off the event space and was perfect for setting up our catered meals. Shawn and his team setup about 12 round tables and 4 rectangle tables (for food and such) and then asked if we need additional.. which we did and he was able to set them up ahead of our start time. All tables/chairs are included with the rental.. which saves time and money! There is an accessible patio right outside the hall that we had access to and some of my family members took advantage of the tables/chairs on the patio. Although we do not host many events in Louisville, if I ever did another I would most definitely use the Sawyer Hayes community center, without hesitation. If your local to the area or need a space ... I highly recommend this place - trust me you will not regret it!
