About this venue
The Drees Pavilion sets the standard for event celebrations. Located on the highest overlook in Devou Park above Covington, Kentucky, the 10,000-square-foot pavilion was built and donated by The Drees Company in 2003 to commemorate its 75th Anniversary. An interior renovation was completed in March 2020, adding modern fixtures & finishes, thoughtful upgrades, and elegant furniture options.

Daniel Michael
I've been a vendor at Drees for their entire 20-year history. The obvious thing to say is the facility and view are amazing. But to me, it's the consistency with which they take care of their clients and treat the vendors like part of the team to create a perfect experience for their clients.
The Turners
The team at Drees Pavilion was a pleasure to work with from start to finish! Their communication was quick, kind, and clear throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself was clean, classy, and fun - exactly what we were looking for to make our wedding day special. Our coordinator checked in on us frequently throughout the night to make sure we had everything we needed, and they were very good at keeping us informed and on track leading up to the big day. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and would highly recommend Drees Pavilion to any couple looking for a stunning, well-run wedding venue.
