    Breathtaking

    “Breathtaking” is how all my guests described my wedding. Truthfully they were speechless because of how beautiful it was. The staff was fabulous! Maegan is THE BEST! The Lost River cave is a must have for any upcoming events. If you want to really wow your guests, have the most gorgeous place for pictures, and have an event of a lifetime book it. We got married almost a month ago and I still have guests calling me telling me how absolutely beautiful it was.

    Literally a Dream venue

    This venue was absolutely PERFECT for us! It was well within our budget and considerably affordable compared to other venues in the area. It easily hosted our large wedding and it was BEAUTIFUL!! The ceremony site and the venue area's natural beauty have got to be the prettiest thing in Bowling Green. Maegan and the staff at Lost River Cave were extremely professional, reliable, and so easy to work with. Maegan was flexible with our last minute changes, and even helped us look for some lost items the day after the wedding.

    When it came to the actual wedding day, I was blown away by how put together the staff was. Balancing the actual Lost River Cave tours and setting up for our event, you can tell that the staff there does not mess around. They hosted three weddings that weekend and between events, we felt like we were the only ones they were focused on. It was awesome!

    I strongly recommend anyone to book this venue for a wedding, private event, or just to hang out at the Cave. The venue was everything we could have dreamed of and more, and it was incredibly affordable too. Thank you all so much for delivering such an awesome experience :D -Josh & Savannah

    The most amazing wedding venue!

    I am from Bowling Green, so could never have imagined this location as my wedding venue but I am SO glad I did. All of our guests were so wowed and in awe of cave, it is of course almost as unique as it comes. The space rental includes a beautiful chandalier, draping, and lights in the space so there was very little lift when it came to those types of things. There are a few suggested vendors that really worked out well because they were quality and knew the venue. Leading up the day of Maegan was very communicative, and the day of we saw her and her staff around the property all friendly and willing to help. Really, everyone down to the staff driving our guests on golf carts were friendly and ready to help make sure our day went off without any issues!! Book this venue now!
