Ally is the one who will schedule your tour, answer your questions throughout the process, and she leads our team of Associate Coordinators. Her goal for the wedding venue is to create a beautiful and customizable space to have weddings and events to bring people together. We have a team of amazing coordinators, parking attendants, and additional staff who work tirelessly to pull together details and create seamless wedding days. 

We are a family owned wedding and event barn located just between Lexington and Winchester. The Gwinn’s purchased the farm in 2016 and their granddaughter, Ally, dreamed up creating a wedding barn with the most run down barn on the property. As the family got on board, her dad started renovating it and after a couple of years of weekend construction, they opened for business.

What makes a Hawks Nest bride

We believe wedding days are holy days where a couple vows to love, honor, and cherish each other. It's our favorite part of the day, and the reason why we do this. We love beautiful weddings (a lot) but we really love beautiful marriages.
