A historic wedding venue in Northern Kentucky
Mansion Hill Sanctuary is a 19th-century church in Newport, Kentucky, converted into a wedding venue with its original stained glass, vaulted ceilings and hardwood floors intact. It sits in the Mansion Hill historic district, a few blocks from Newport on the Levee and one bridge from downtown Cincinnati — an easy trip for guests from anywhere in Northern Kentucky or Greater Cincinnati.
Hold the ceremony in the Sanctuary and the reception in the same building, with a stage and dancefloor, a full-service bar, two kitchens for your caterer, and a bridal suite to get ready in. You choose the caterer; we run the bar.
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 spacious bridal 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.
