A place to remember someone, in Newport, Kentucky
For families across Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati, Mansion Hill Sanctuary offers a quiet, historic setting for a memorial or celebration of life: a former church with its original stained glass, and room to sit together, to speak, and to share a meal afterward.
You can bring the caterer of your choice, take full-day access to set the room up, and arrange it as you'd like within a few rules that protect the historic building. We'll walk you through the space first, at an unhurried private showing.
Sanctuary & Annex
Our Sanctuary is a grand room with tremendous vaulted ceilings, original stained-glass windows, antique chandeliers, and a raised stage. The adjoining Annex adds a room for bar and food, a full kitchen, and a private family suite.
Full Bar & Kitchen
In the Annex you'll have access to a full bar with a plethora of drink packages and experienced bartenders, plus a complete kitchen ready for your caterer.
Parking & Location
We're a ten-minute walk from the Ohio River and Newport on the Levee, and nine minutes from two parking lots with ample space for every event we've ever held.
