Bourbon Event venue - Louisville's Most Trusted Event Venue

Bourbon Event Center has hosted over 100+ events in the last 2 years. Weddings bring families together. Concerts that sell out in hours. Corporate meetings that close deals. Private parties that become family legends. 

We’re downtown at 115 W Jefferson St, between Fourth Street Live! and the Louisville Slugger Museum. We’ve done 100+ weddings, concerts, and private celebrations. Hundreds of corporate events. Every type of gathering you can imagine. 

Here’s what 2 years taught us: events work when venues get out of the way. No vendor restrictions. No hidden fees. No complicated packages. You pick what you need. We make it happen.
