Casual Elegance at The Jockey

With a blend of rich history and equestrian charm, The Jockey offers a uniquely spirited setting for your wedding vows – a perfect location for couples who want an especially laid-back, social vibe for their wedding day!

The Jockey brings exclusive features that set it apart to make your wedding day a fun evening for your closest friends and family. Nestled in the heart of downtown Lexington, The Jockey offers distinct areas each with their own character. The Starting Gate welcomes you with its historic tile floors and traditional bar, offering the perfect mingling spot before the ceremony. Ample seating in deep green velvet booths and crafted cocktails inspired by Kentucky’s horse racing history set the stage for a memorable day.

The Stable, ideal for intimate gatherings and celebrations, features bar height tables and a cozy leather booth, with farmhouse lights adding a warm glow. It’s the perfect spot for cutting the cake and continuing the festivities. 

The Paddock, an intimate two-story outdoor patio, lies semi-tucked away in downtown Lexington, creating the perfect space for exchanging vows amidst the surrounding urban energy. Decorated with bourbon barrels and surrounded by black iron railings, it complements the red brick of the historic building, offering a picturesque backdrop for your ceremony.

The Clubhouse extends the celebration upstairs with a covered patio that invites you to enjoy your first drink as a married couple, with an option to celebrate further with a cigar from the local Jake’s Cigar Bar.

The Jockey is primarily available during weekdays and some Sundays, offering a major venue experience at an excellent value. Each booking includes exclusive use of the venue, ensuring privacy and personalization for your special day.
