We host meaningful, joy-filled celebrations!

My goal was to preserve and share the beauty of this historic property with as many people as possible. I saw hosting events as the perfect way to achieve this. What started as a side hustle hobby quickly turned into a full-fledged business as bookings flooded in. Despite my lack of experience, investors, or a team, I was determined to make it work. And work it did, as I bootstrapped my way to a fully booked venue.  

Little by little, year after year, Warrenwood has blossomed from a neglected farm into an award-winning, five-star-rated venue. But it's not about the accolades. I've also discovered the joy of being part of the most significant days in people's lives. Events at Warrenwood are not just about the decor or the flowers. They are about celebrating love, commitment, and community. With every event, I strive to serve and support my clients with heart and intention, helping them create an occasion that reflects their personalities and values.

As a mom of two now, my role here is entirely different. I'm no longer the one answering emails, giving tours, hosting client meetings, or working events. I'm lucky to have a hard-working team I've lovingly trained, trust completely, and wholeheartedly support. I'm thankful this allows me to love my family and business well. 

Through the dust and DIRT, I could see a place fit for celebrations.

In 2014 I made a decision that no one saw coming, least of all me. I'd always pictured moving away from my hometown and never looking back. So, it surprised everyone when I U-turned my life for an old rundown farm on the south side of town. But, I was smitten.

WARRENWOOD OWNER & FOUNDER

i'm Brittney.

Hey friend!

I'm a sucker for a comeback story so it is no surprise that I immediately fell in love with Warrenwood.  Since it's completion in 1856, Warrenwood has endured a repeated cycle of restoration and decay.  She has survived a tornado, a roof collapse, years of vacancy, and the threat of demolish twice.  Every time she has been brought back to life, brick-by-brick and room-by-room.

I am honored to be a tiny part of Warrenwood's story.  Restoring the property intentionally, authentically, and respectfully has allowed me to share a stunning, character-filled piece of Kentucky history.

Tell me more

Warrenwood is a greek revival home with a gothic exterior

In 1785, Captain William Warren, a Kentucky pioneer soldier and legislator, settled the area just south of Danville.   It wasn't until 1856 that Captain Warren's sons completed the construction of Warrenwood.

A piece of history...

In 1977, the property was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its significance to our architectural, agricultural and military history. 

The home was modeled after the Elley Villa of Lexington and roughly based on sketches published by A. J. Downing and A. J. Davis.
