Gather in Style
The splendor and beauty of the past are ready to serve as the setting for your wedding, reception, corporate meeting or special event.  Whitehall House & Gardens offers a unique opportunity to gather and celebrate, to meet and commemorate special occasions of all types and sizes.  Here you will find complete, personal service aimed at making your special day or event as worry-free and memorable as possible. 

Whitehall Mansion
You'll enjoy an elegance lovingly preserved for you and your guests at the Whitehall mansion.  This 19th century antebellum home offers grandeur, grace and style, making it a perfect setting for your special day or event.  The interior reflects the house as it was in 1909 with wall coverings, carpets and antiques reminiscent of the period. 

The open floor plan allows great flexibility and creativity for any occasion.  The mansion can accommodate up to 200 guests for cocktail/buffet style receptions and up to 100 for a sit-down dinner.  The spacious double parlor features an 1860 piano for guests' use, and the room also can accommodate a small combo or DJ and dancing. 

Completely renovated in 1994, the mansion is fully air-conditioned and boasts a large catering kitchen and ample restroom facilities. 

The Gardens & Grounds
Imagine standing under a canopy of lavender Wisteria ... strolling along a garden path lined with boxwoods ... or relaxing in the company of tea roses, a fountain and topiaries.  This resplendent beauty of a classic Victorian garden can serve as the elegant setting for your special event or occasion at Whitehall House & Gardens.

In combination with the mansion, the entire estate can accommodate up to 350 guests.  The spacious lawn and gardens, which may be rented in addition to the mansion*, make an impressive and elegant presentation for covered (tented) or open-air events.  The gardens also include a graceful garden terrace that is a romantic setting for any wedding ceremony. 

The garden and grounds also are well suited for corporate events, family reunions, receptions, anniversaries, and retirement parties.  The gardens at Whitehall are unmatched for outdoor photography opportunities to commemorate your day or event. 

*The mansion must be rented in conjunction with the gardens; however, the mansion can be rented without the gardens. 

Our Doors are Open
At Whitehall House & Gardens, we open our doors to you and your guests to help ensure that your event or occasion is memorable, enjoyable, and worry-free.  While the mansion and gardens are unique in their style and details, our approach to ensuring your successful event is equally unique among rental facilities:

  1. You may choose from our list of pre-approved caterers.
  2. We do not assess a bar fee for unopened, returned bottles of beverage alcohol not consumed at your event.
  3. Tents may be left in place for up to three days before any service charge is assessed.

Whitehall House & Gardens is conveniently located in the quaint community of St. Matthews, just minutes from downtown Louisville.  There are a number of nearby full-service hotels and motels for out-of-town visitors, who also can enjoy some of Louisville's best shopping and dining opportunities within a short drive.
