Frequently Asked Questions

What is the dress code for the wedding ceremony and reception?

Formal/evening attire - Men to wear suits of any color, tie or no tie. Women to wear floor-length gowns, short or long cocktail dresses.

Are kids allowed to join for the reception? Keeneland?

Unfortunately, this is a kids-free wedding reception! Children are welcome at Keeneland, but please let us know so we can make sure they have an entry ticket.

Will there be transportation to Keeneland on Saturday?

Yes! We've got you covered. But if you prefer to drive, parking is easily available on The Hill and should be walkable to our tailgate.

What is the dress code for a Saturday at the Keeneland Fall Meet?

Ranges from casual to semi-formal attire. We are so excited for our first-time Keeneland goers! Check out some Keeneland outfit inspiration below.

When do we need to book our hotel?

This will be the opening weekend of Keeneland with a possible UK football game the same weekend. Lexington is a smaller city, and the hotels BOOK UP FAST specifically this time of year! We highly recommend booking your accommodations as soon as you can. We would love to have all of our guests in downtown to make it super convenient for shuttling and transportation. Booking one year out isn't too early, we promise.
