Your wedding day deserves a backdrop that’s just as unforgettable as your love story. Nestled in the rolling hills near Crofton, Kentucky, in Christian County, is Burdoc Farms, a gorgeous farm wedding venue that combines rustic charm and modern elegance across 700 acres of fields, forests, and open skies.

Our Western Kentucky wedding venue in Crofton, KY, is owned and operated by our very own Shepherd family. Today, we’re creating a legacy of southern hospitality in a space with over 80 years of family history and hard work.

What started as a tobacco and cattle farm decades ago has become one of the region’s most beloved wedding venues near Crofton, Kentucky, where there were once 136,000 tobacco farms in the 1950s. When Sara and Keith Shepherd took over operations in the 1990s, they converted the property to a conservation farm focused on timber management, wildlife habitat, and agritourism.

To preserve the farm’s authenticity and charm, the Shepherd family painstakingly rehabbed and recycled all materials in their historic barns, adding modern amenities to meet today’s needs for a memorable and one-of-a-kind setting for your special day.

Our western KY wedding venues offer multiple ceremony and reception options across the property, including:

• The Tobacco Barn Venue is perfect for celebrating your reception in a magnificently restored historic structure that showcases the farm’s agricultural heritage. Dance the night away under fairytale lighting with Edison string lights and seven antique crystal chandeliers, or step outside for s’mores with our 150-year-old stone fireplace.
• Keith Glen Venue is a modern, industrial-inspired venue—a contemporary greenhouse-style reception space with a floor-to-ceiling glass wall overlooking the pond, a lighted fountain, and resident swans. Built in 2016, this year-round building ensures your celebration is comfortable regardless of the weather.
• The Woodland Ceremony Space offers an intimate outdoor ceremony pad surrounded by a fountain and nature, including century-old trees. Exchange vows beneath the trees, then take in sweeping views from the overlook platform that captures the picturesque landscape of Western Kentucky.
• The Chapel Barn offers a historic setting with authentic character preserved from the original farm buildings, complete with white church pews and a breathtaking white door with lace curtains for your grand entrance. This ceremony space combines rustic charm with modern amenities for couples and their guests.
