We welcome couples who want a focused, intimate celebration surrounded by historic architecture, warm hospitality, and flexible spaces that keep the day relaxed yet special. Our Charming Elopement package is designed for exactly that kind of experience, giving couples a clear and supported way to celebrate without unnecessary complexity.

 

The Pepin Mansion in New Albany, Indiana hosts elopements through the Charming Elopement package, covering two hours of venue access, an officiant, event coordinator, setup and cleanup, champagne, and a custom wedding cake inside a restored 1851 historic mansion minutes from Louisville. Optional add-ons include photography, live violin and cello music, additional event hours, vintage Rolls-Royce rental, and overnight king suites with private baths and breakfast.

 

Elopement Spaces That Keep Your Day Effortless

 

Inside the mansion, elopements can take place in thoughtfully maintained indoor areas or select outdoor-inspired spaces across the property.
