How the Elopement Package Works at The Pepin Mansion Near Louisville, KY

Elopements don't have to mean courthouse steps or distant destinations. We've hosted couples who wanted something quieter than a traditional wedding but still elegant, intimate, and rooted in a real place. Our Charming Elopement package at The Pepin Mansion gives you two hours of venue access, an officiant, and everything you need to say your vows without the weight of a full production.

 

The elopement package at The Pepin Mansion near Louisville works by providing two hours of venue access, an officiant, coordination, setup, and cleanup, a custom cake, and champagne for a simple ceremony. Couples can choose indoor or outdoor spaces and add options like lodging, catering, or extra time to expand the experience.

 

If you're looking for an elopement near Louisville that feels personal and doesn't require months of planning, here's how our package works and what you can expect on your day.

What's Included in the Charming Elopement Package

 

The Charming Elopement package covers the essentials you need without the logistics stress.

The Basics You Need to Get Married

 

The Charming Elopement package offers two hours of venue access, which gives you time to arrive, prepare, hold your ceremony, and take photos without rushing. We provide an officiant to perform the ceremony, so you don't need to track one down on your own. Our coordinator handles event setup and cleanup, which means you walk into a space that's already ready and leave without folding chairs or hauling decorations.

 

After you exchange vows, we pour toasting champagne for the two of you and serve a custom wedding cake. 

Where Your Ceremony Happens

 

You can hold your ceremony indoors or outdoors, depending on the season and your preference. Indoor ceremonies take place in one of our parlors, where the painted ceilings and original woodwork from 1851 frame your vows. We provide gold Chiavari ceremony chairs for your guests if you're inviting a handful of close family or friends.

 

 

If you'd rather be outside, the elevated ceremony deck and tented event lawn are both available. The water feature on the property adds a quiet backdrop, and the staircase works well for portraits before or after the ceremony. Louisville couples often choose outdoor elopements during spring and fall, though we're climate-controlled indoors if the weather turns.

Optional Add-ons If You Want to Expand the Day

 

The base package is designed for simplicity, but you can add elements if your elopement needs more. King suites are available for you and any guests traveling in for the day. You can bring your own alcohol under our BYO policy, which can save 50 to 60 percent compared to traditional bar service. If you want a meal after the ceremony, you can choose your own caterer through our open vendor policy. Additional event hours let you extend your two-hour window if you're planning a small reception or a longer photo session. 

 

Tenting and decor options are available if you're using the outdoor space and want customization. Live ceremony music, specifically violin and cello, can be added for processional and recessional moments. The vintage Rolls-Royce rental is another optional piece. We have 1960 and 1965 Silver Cloud models with professional chauffeured service, and couples use them for photos or transportation between the ceremony and a nearby dinner.

Policies That Matter for Elopement Planning

 

The Pepin Mansion is pet-friendly for ceremonies, so if your dog is part of your day, you can include them. Late-night hours are allowed if you're adding a reception or dinner and want to stay past our standard closing time. Parking is on-site and ample, so guests who are driving in from Louisville don't need to worry about street parking or shuttles.

 

Because we're located on New Albany's historic Mansion Row, you're minutes from downtown Louisville but away from traffic and noise. Restrooms are in multiple locations throughout the property, and string lights are already installed if your ceremony happens in the evening.
