No. We do require that you use The Simon for all beverage services but there are no minimums or service fees. The City of Louisville charges an additional sales tax on all beverages (around 9%).

Initially we allowed outside catering, because honestly most venues don’t and we didn’t understand why! It seems like a great benefit to allow outside catering. The truth is, after many months of allowing any caterer under the sun to waltz through our doors, we realized that is not a workable business model if quality food an a quality experience is important to our couples and thier guests. Some caterers were amazing, but some were clearly in it for the money and not the couple. We had issues with caterers showing up hours late and unprepared. We had caterers run out of food and althoogh we had many great experiences with caterers who were new to us, when it was a bad experience it was really bad, for us, the couple, and thier guests.

We require that you use The Simon for all beverage service as we have our own liquor license. There are no bar minimums and our options range from cash bar ($0 out of pocket for you) to Top Shelf. We never charge bartender fees or service charges so you can customize your Beverage Package to the exact dollar amount you’d like to spend. Please note the City of Louisville charges a sales tax (around 9%) on all Beverages.
