How The Pepin Mansion Handles Every Detail of Your Wedding Day

 

Walk through our entryway at The Pepin Mansion, and most people stop before they even say hello. They look up, and the historic details are easy to notice. Built in 1851 and restored in 2013, our historic home is located in New Albany, Indiana, just minutes from downtown Louisville, Kentucky. Original floors, woodwork, and horsehair plaster preserve important parts of the mansion’s history, while the painted ballroom ceiling adds another distinctive visual detail. We began hosting weddings around 2015 and offer indoor and outdoor event spaces, accommodations, and package-based event support.
