Planning Tip<br />
Try booking all the wedding party<br />
rooms at the same time as some<br />
lodging options offer group rates and<br />
special promotions for weddings.<br />
Vevay<br />
<strong>Switzerland</strong> <strong>County</strong> is conveniently located less<br />
than 15 miles from I-75 and between three major<br />
cities with international airports<br />
Bringing the family to join you on the big day is<br />
important, and when family members live far away it<br />
is great to have many travel options. We are located<br />
conveniently between three major cities with a variety<br />
of airport and car transportation options. Although we<br />
are close to the interstate, we still have the character<br />
and small town feel that any wedding needs.<br />
We also offer many different lodging options to accommodate<br />
even the pickiest Aunt or Grandpa.<br />
Whether you would like to stay at an Inn, Hotel, or<br />
even a good, old fashioned B&B, <strong>Switzerland</strong> <strong>County</strong><br />
has you covered.<br />

Planning Tip<br />
Check the dates of local events<br />
that will be occurring during your<br />
desired reservation dates. Traffic,<br />
lodging, and dining can all be<br />
effected by events attracting large<br />
crowds.<br />
During Nascar events at the<br />
Kentucky Speedway (Summer<br />
season) and the Swiss Wine<br />
Festival (August), local lodging is<br />
typically booked up to a year in<br />
advance.<br />

Planning Tip<br />
It is always a good idea to visit your desired venue at the<br />
specific time of day you plan to have the ceremony. If it is<br />
going to be an outdoor wedding, there could be unwanted<br />
shadows.<br />
“ I’ve had brides come visit a week before the reservation<br />
and choose to move the whole thing to the other<br />
side of the property. But it didn’t bother me at all,<br />
everything looks different with the sun setting.”<br />
- Lisa Fischer, Schenck Mansion<br />
