Hi! My name is Hannah. 

My husband, Dylan, and I live right here in Anderson County and are the owners of

The Gorgeous McKinley Wedding & Event Venue. 

Dylan restored Lawrenceburg's most well- known barn with his own two hands to create

The McKinley Wedding & Event Venue. 

And I, Hannah, had the decorative touch! 

We have three little girls, Reese, Kollins, & Karoline.

When you support us, you are supporting a truly appreciative small town, small business family who genuinely is excited and proud to have you!

We look forward to meeting you!  

CALL US! We want to speak with you!

What Sets Us Apart?

3 Day Rentals Are Always Included!

 

No need to rush through your special day! With Our rentals you can prepare and decorate for your event the entire day before your event, enjoy your special day without rushing guests out the door, and come back the morning after the event to pick up any of your items.

We do not limit you to a 4 to 6 hour time limit like most venues. After all, who can really prepare for their day, enjoy their day, and not be rushed all in 4 to 6 hours, right

We Do Not Require an Insurance Policy 

Nope, not here! 

No Catering Restrictions

Your friend caters? You have a favorite caterer you cannot imagine not having cater your reception? That is no problem at Eagle Lake. We do not limit you to a certain list of caterers or require that you use a caterer of our choosing like other venues. At Eagle Lake the catering choice is completely yours. After all, it is YOUR day! If you are not sure where to start when it comes to catering then let us know and we are always glad to help.

No Cocktail Restrictions

Wanting to offer your guests alcohol? At The McKinley, you can provide your own cocktails or if preferred then you can have a company provide the cocktails for you. The McKinley does not require you to purchase cocktails through us or from us like other venues. Do not prefer to have cocktails at your event? No problem. At The McKinley, there is no "buy out" fee for not having cocktails like other venues. The McKinley is all about choices and the choice to provide cocktails or not at YOUR event is completely yours. 

Beautiful Decor, Included 

Who doesn’t like to save money and time? The McKinley includes beautiful decorative touches to make your event all you have dreamed of.  Each room includes white satin ceiling swags and gorgeous twinkle lights draped from the ceiling, numerous, all- glass chandeliers to light up the dance floor, lit trees sprinkled around the room, low voltage formal lighting, all original barn- hardwood flooring, & a "coming soon" 20ft rock fireplace at the entrance to usher in the new Mr. & Mrs.

Our rooms are neutral in color so they match your event color choice. At The McKinley you do not have the expense or the worry of having to cover up some odd color walls, curtains, or floors like other venues.

We have decorated around you, not the other way around! 

Six Price Package Options 

Only need the room and some tables and chairs? Planning a large wedding and need seating for hundreds of guests? Your caterer needs a kitchen facility for your event? Prefer to have a cleanup crew to cleanup for you? At The McKinley, you choose your price by selecting the package that offers the options that best suits your event needs. 

 

Climate Control?

Why, we think that should be standard! 

Lots of venues use this as a way to pull more income, charging for heat or air by the hour.     Some venues don’t even OFFER it! We do not believe in this.

At The McKinley, your price will include the assurance that your guests will be comfortable for their entire stay. 

Give us a call today to schedule your room viewing or with questions. We look forward to hearing from you!

Welcome to The McKinley!
