Event Venues at Mellwood Art Center, Louisville, KY
Event Spaces
Louisville’s Spaces for All Occasions, from Great Wedding Halls to Affordable Reception Venues
Given our open-vendor policy, easily customizable event venues, and proximity to downtown Louisville, one of the five event venues at the Mellwood Art Center will be the perfect place to host your dream event of any size. As a result, we were named “Best Place to Hold an Event/Party” by Leo Weekly Readers for 10 consecutive years.
You will find our rental policies to be among the most flexible in Louisville. Here are some of the basics you need to know for all of our venues:
- Day rentals begin at 8:00 AM and end at 2:00 AM the following morning. All set-up and take-down should take place during this time period.
- Floor plans must be supplied two (2) weeks prior to your event and will be set-up before your rental period by our staff.
- You must purchase a limited-liability insurance policy. Let us know if you need help with this.
- Lastly, we require a rental deposit of 50% of the room rental at the time of booking, and the remaining 50% is due no later than 90 days prior to your event.
If interested, our leasing office offers tours Monday – Saturday from 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM and Saturday from 9:30 AM – 4 PM. Please note, tours are appointment only.
