"The best thing about this venue is it's all "one-stop shopping." I didn't have to worry about bringing in linens or cleaning up afterwards like I've had to do at other venues. The convenience allows me to focus more on the event."

“My favorite thing about the Kentucky Derby Museum was the ease of everything and the flexibility of the professionals assisting us. When we arrived, the venue was perfectly staged, and everything was ready to go. Plus, there was always someone nearby to assist or answer questions throughout the evening, which provided another level of comfort and enjoyment. Tori and her team do terrific work and are a true delight! I applaud everything about our wonderful welcome party, for it was the PERFECT setting and experience for welcoming everyone to Kentucky.”

"The Kentucky Derby Museum was the perfect venue for our introductory dinner to the McConnell Center's Strategic Broadening Seminar. The food was delicious, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the venue was especially accommodating for our guests with allergen issues. Our soldiers were so appreciative of the experience, and we could not have made them feel so welcome to the city without the help of your team."

"Tori, I want to take a moment to thank you and your staff for all you did to showcase your city to us last weekend during our Joint Commission on Sports Medicine and Science conference. The tour of Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby Museum was unbelievable! I’ve lived in Lexington since 1993 but rarely go to Louisville. After this visit, I am putting Louisville and back stage tour of Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby Museum on my “must see and do” list for friends when they come in town. The meal was excellent and I really enjoyed the entertainment. It was so nice to hear the bugler talk of his involvement with the Derby. The tales told by the jockey and owner really helped to understand all that goes on to produce a winning horse and to run a good race. It sure isn’t easy! You and your team did a remarkable job. I will do what I can to get my organization to have their September meeting there.

Thanks again for all you and your team did to make our visit a memorable one."
