Concerts at The Kentucky Castle – Be Our Guest

Co-hosted by Rector Hayden Realtors, Andrea Clemons & Susan Hammett

Image may contain: sky, cloud, outdoor and nature

July 19 @ 7pm – 9pm

The Kentucky Castle is celebrating its anniversary with “Be Our Guest!”

50 years ago an inspired couple began construction on a beautiful Castle in the middle of picturesque horse farm country in Versailles, Kentucky. Over the years it has experienced triumphs and tragedies, and this year we celebrate its story and the treasured landmark it is in Kentucky. In July 2017, a new ownership group purchased the Castle with the help of Rector Hayden Realtors. They named it “The Kentucky Castle” and opened the gates wide to serve the community. With a Farm-to-Table Restaurant, a one-of-a-kind Boutique Hotel, a Wellness Spa, and a variety of “Experience of a Lifetime” events… it’s regarded as one of the most romantic places in the area and there is celebration happening within its walls every day.

Experience: You’re invited to a “Be Our Guest” original dinner experience in the Grand Ballroom, featuring French cuisine and musical entertainment inspired by Princess Belle. As the doors to the Castle open, there is a joyful welcome in the Grand Foyer, followed by a delightful dinner with continued performance in the Ballroom. When dinner concludes, guests are invited to Waltz dancing on the rooftop during a Kentucky sunset, with dance instruction from The Ballroom House. We are so grateful to celebrate the Castle’s 50-year story and we welcome you to “Be Our Guest”.
