The OBT at Renfro Valley Entertainment Center

The OBT is a historic music hall at Renfro Valley Entertainment Center in Mount Vernon, Kentucky. First opened in 1939, this characterful venue is known for its close-up live music atmosphere, with guests near the stage and the original barn-style details helping give the room its distinctive feel. It hosts a programme of concerts and performances, and organisers can also hire the space for their own events.

For weddings, the OBT can be arranged for a ceremony and reception or for a reception on its own. The venue accommodates around 300 guests for a seated wedding or up to 500 for a standing, cocktail-style gathering, depending on the layout. Wedding parties can use two backstage dressing rooms, and ceremonies may take place inside the hall, outdoors on the grounds, or in the small historic Wedding Chapel. The venue provides tables, chairs and cocktail furniture for some layouts, with extra seating available through hired suppliers. Bar packages are arranged through Renfro Valley, and organisers can select their own insured vendors.

The OBT is also available for corporate functions and larger private gatherings. Other bookable spaces at the Renfro Valley site include the Wedding Chapel and the Headliner Suite, which can suit smaller meetings or celebrations. The venue team can discuss room arrangements, sound and lighting requirements, bar service and event planning support. Its combination of a historic performance setting and adaptable event hire makes it a distinctive option for weddings, company occasions and private celebrations in the wider Kentucky region.
