Southern historic home/estate at its best. From the moment you approach the estate it's like wow!…read more The Barr home is beautiful inside and out. So much historical throughout. So spacious yet so warm. Great for a event or like us a vacation that is so relaxing. Pool is a huge reason we booked this for our vacation but hoping the home would be historic and charming and it exceeded our expectations. 4 1/2 baths and 3 bedrooms but so many more rooms. If you need TV's in rooms not the right pick but if you are like us if you want history and relaxing in a beautiful home than this is it. It really is such a gem and you can see it in every room. Thank you to the Barr family who welcomed us in to their home. ( and how sweet they shopped some basics for us before we got here). Eggs, bread, milk etc.

My fiancée and I had planned to view this house for our wedding next year. She confirmed with Terri…read morethat we would be arriving to view the house between 6:45 and 7 since we were driving up from Lexington, which she confirmed. We arrived at 7:07 and the house was locked up and empty. We sent her an email to let her know that we had arrived since that was our only method of contact that she had provided. We walked around the grounds looking to see if we could find someone outside working to no avail. Lots of boxes and other odds and ends from the wedding several days before were still strewn about. Finally called the number listed in the front window and she answered with "Hello, who is this??". I asked her about the showing and she told me "It's 7:30, you said you would be there by 6:45 and you didn't show up, so we left. You want me to send someone back out there?" I told her no, thank you and we left. If you are searching for a wedding venue, I would advise you against dealing with this place.

LGBTQ+ and allies DO NOT support this business. Please see the message I received from Debbie…read moreLittle who works at the venue regarding a lesbian couple who inquired about holding their wedding at the property: Hi June, I seen your message in regards to our company being homophobic. I just wanted to reach out and tell you that as a Christian I love everybody. I honestly do. I don't always agree with all Christians or non-christians. We all have different opinions and those of us who believe in the "World" interprete (sic) it in different ways. When someone comes and is interested in getting married at our venue and they tell me they are gay, I respond telling them that I am not in support of it but they are welcome to rent our venue. I don't think that a gay couple would want to get married at a venue that does not practice gay marriages but if they want to they are welcome to rent our property. I would never go to a Facebook page or any social media and bash the gay community or condemn them for having a difference in opinion. The young lady that called for information a few days ago was gay and also wanted to bring hard liquor onto the property which is against our restrictions. I did tell her that we had a restriction against hard liquor and I told her that I wasn't a supporter of gay relationships and that she was welcome to rent our property. I'm sure you are not a supporter of all things as well.

We chose the MoM for a few reasons: it was close to our ceremony site, provided parking for guests that we could pay for (for a reasonable cost), on-site catering by Dupree, ability to seat our amount of guests, but mainly for the AMAZING skyline view of Lexington as the venue is on the top floor of the Chase building. Mike and I worked with their coordinator Heather, who was wonderful and so helpful throughout the planning process. She is a busy lady, but would always respond back to emails/phone calls whenever she could. We met with her ~5x before the wedding to plan, brainstorm ideas, and review details. She gave a few options for the layout of the reception and how things would "flow" but I deferred to her judgment as I thought she would know what would be the optimal way. For selecting our menu, we had so many options. We decided to do a buffet-style dinner so people could have more choice over their meal. It was honestly so hard to decide on dinner choices because everything sounded delicious. We did a beef tenderloin and chicken meat option, roasted broccolini and smashed potatoes with the sweet potato kale salad- ALL delish. We are still having people tell us how good the food was! The event thanks to Heather and our day-of-coordinator went off without a hitch! I highly recommend the venue as an event space- particularly for wedding receptions!

This is not a public restaurant but you can reserve this place for any kind of events…read more We had an office party here. The place was pretty spacious to host around 150 people. The view from the top is exhilarating. I am not sure if there are any other places in Lexington which offers a sky view of the city. We had a open bar, and they had pretty decent drinks. The appetizers were good. I didn't have much as I was saving my hunger for the main course. But I heard from my colleagues that the appetizers were equally good as the main course. We were offered 4 main courses and asked to pick one beforehand. 1. Grilled Sirloin with Red Wine Horseradish and Chive Butter, crispy garlic marbled potatoes, seasonal roasted veggies, yeast rolls, mixed green salad 2. Garlic lavender and wine glazed chicken, wild mushroom gnocchi, shaved brussels sprouts, yeast rolls, mixed green salad 3. Bourbon and cider glazed salmon, herb rice pilaf, lemon roasted asparagus, yeast rolls, mixed green salad 4. Vegetarian: Grilled ratatouille napoleon, crispy garlic marbled potatoes, seasonal roasted veggies, yeast rolls, mixed green salad I picked Salmon for myself and Vegetarian for my +1. The salmon was amazing. The herb rice pilaf was yummy. Most of my colleagues from my table had the Grilled Sirloin. It looked good and they said good things about it. The main course was supplemented with some good desserts. This is one of the best places I have been recently and I am surprised how very few people in Lexington have heard about this place. This would be a best place for an OYE (Official Yelp Event) so that more Yelpers can yelp about this place and spread the word.

Yoga classes are not a regular offering -- it was a unique event in a great space for yoga -- but it allowed me a chance to peek into the Prizing House and see how beautiful it is. Cynthiana doesn't have a lot of spaces for events, so the Prizing House is pretty much the go-to location for weddings, prom, etc. Fortunately, it's a great space! It used to be an abandoned building (industrial, maybe); the owners bought it and renovated it into the gorgeous space it is today. Brick walls, chandeliers, beautiful floors, and those large, vintage double-doors that you walk through to enter the building! There is one large space for tables/dining/dancing, and other areas for mingling/whatever you need. Bathrooms are lovely. Overall, wonderful place for an event!
