Historic Wedding Venues: Best Louisville Bed and Breakfast

If your dream wedding day includes a romantic location from the past, we have one of the best historic wedding venues in Southern Indiana for you. Our Louisville bed and breakfast in the timeless elegance of The Pepin Mansion offers engaged couples a beautiful backdrop for ceremonies, receptions, and elopements of all shapes, sizes, and themes. The editors at Wedding Wire agree as we've placed in the top 20 of their favorite Bed and Breakfast venues across the country—a title we're honored to hold!

One of the main reasons The Pepin Mansion is one of the best historic wedding venues is our wonderful event planning staff. You'll realize from the moment you make an appointment to tour our property that we genuinely care about each and every bride and groom who climbs our front steps. Located on the historic "Mansion Row" in New Albany, IN, just minutes from downtown Louisville, KY, this venue is in the perfect central spot for guests coming from Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio.

We also have four beautifully designed guest rooms on site for the newlyweds and their closest family or friends. This takes the stress away, knowing exactly where you'll get dolled up on the day of your big event and spending your first night together as a married couple. We'll take care of breakfast the following morning, too! As you look through the historic wedding venue options, be sure to reach out and set up a tour today!

The Best Wedding Lodging in Louisville

While, of course, your wedding day will be one of the most memorable of your life, if you ask long-time couples, it's often the moment after the celebration has ended that you'll look back fondly on. Getting to relax with your new spouse, recount the day's events, and let the fact that you're now married sink in! The perfect place to do just that is in one of our beautiful rooms at our Louisville bed and breakfast, and when you make The Pepin Mansion your wedding venue, that will be a part of the deal.

Not all historic wedding venues can provide these charming onsite lodging options. Each room is elegantly appointed with period furnishings, high ceilings, and large windows that allow natural light to create a warm and inviting ambiance. The spacious suites feature cozy fireplaces, grand king-sized beds, and pristine en-suite bathrooms (some just down a private hallway), adding a touch of luxury to your stay.

We also love to pamper our overnight guests with breakfast each morning. Join us in the elegant dining room for sweet and savory options, always prepared with care and in-house and seasonal ingredients. Enjoy freshly brewed coffee on the porch, soaking up the quiet elegance of our historic neighborhood on Mansion Row.
