Your Enchanted Wedding Weekend: Make It More Than Just a Wedding Day

Why celebrate for just one day when you can turn your wedding into an entire weekend? One of the easiest ways to make your Orchid wedding feel even more special is to bundle your wedding accommodations with your celebration and give yourself—and the people you love—more time to relax, explore, and enjoy Kentucky. Through McD Unlimited, The Orchid offers direct booking for multiple luxury vacation homes, making it easy to create a wedding weekend that feels like a true getaway.

Start the Celebration Early

Invite your closest friends and family to arrive a day or two before the wedding.

Spend the evening together. Order dinner. Open a bottle of wine. Play games. Sit around the fire. Catch up with the people you don't get to see often enough.

Instead of everyone arriving just in time for the rehearsal and wedding, you get a little more time together before the big day.

For couples planning a bachelorette or bachelor weekend, the homes also provide a comfortable home base for your group to relax and spend time together.

Give Your Guests More Than a Hotel Room

If you're bringing family and friends in from out of town, why have everyone scattered between different hotels?

A luxury vacation home gives your guests a place to gather, relax, and experience Kentucky together.

It's especially nice for families and groups who want more space, a kitchen, comfortable gathering areas, and the feeling of being on vacation rather than simply checking into a hotel.

Soak Up the Kentucky Experience

Your wedding can be the centerpiece of the weekend, but there's plenty to do before and after you say “I do.”

Explore Kentucky's rich history. Spend an afternoon along the Bourbon Trail. Visit local wineries. Browse boutiques and shops. Enjoy great food. Take a scenic drive. Or don't make plans at all.

Sometimes the best part of a getaway is simply having nowhere you need to be.

Make It a Wedding Weekend

Imagine arriving Thursday or Friday, settling into your accommodations, and spending the next few days celebrating with your favorite people.

A little exploring.

A little bourbon.

A little shopping.

A little relaxing.

Then your wedding day at The Orchid.

And afterward, one more morning together before everyone heads home.

It turns your wedding into something more than an event on the calendar.

It becomes a weekend you'll remember.

Stay Together. Celebrate Together.

With multiple luxury accommodations available through McD Unlimited, you can make lodging part of your wedding planning from the beginning.

It's convenient for out-of-town guests, perfect for groups, and a wonderful way to give yourselves more time to enjoy the people and place you've chosen to celebrate in.

Because your wedding day will go by quickly.

Give yourself a little more time.

Come for the wedding. Stay for the weekend. Leave with memories that last much longer.
