Jill is a leader in her industry and is a Visionary for creating successful businesses.
After graduating from Clemson in ‘91, Jill returned to her native State of Ky to build a successful catering and events business: Bluegrass Catering, Inc and 903 Venues.
Jill is also the head Broker for The Grand@Greyline, a National Historic Building in Lexington, Ky. This building features over 16,000 square feet of event space.
Bakehorn's connections to bourbon in the State of Kentucky began with the history of Old Tarr Bourbon, distilled in 1865, on the same property where one of her venues, The Grand Reserve stood.
Resurrecting the Old Wm. Tarr bourbon label in 2020 to market was a true honor for Jill.
903 Venues is Central Kentucky's on site event venue contact and offsite broker to upscale farms in the beautiful Bluegrass!
"GORGEOUS venue!! The staff are so accommodating our needs and are super flexible with what we want to do/how we want to set up. The food was great, the atmosphere is unique and it's overall a wonderful place to celebrate and have a good time."
"As the title says, it is a grand place! We had ~160 guests. The venue is outstanding--bar from floor to ceiling, and it's all-in-one stop shop: DJ (amazing), food/drink (tasty), decorations, photo booth, setup/tear down...A bit pricy, but it's well worth the penny when you realize how the vendor takes care of you. Catering worked with me for a special menu (not everything is online, you can make requests!) the owner was super laid-back and the day-of planner (should you choose to hire) was splendid! Could not have asked for a better place--roomy and fun!"
"Excellent event venue .. If you need a great place to host your event this is the place to do it in Lexington."
"The Grand Reserve was the perfect place for our reception. It was spacious enough for our 200 guests and 9-piece band without feeling too empty or too cramped. The amenities provided by the venue made our day go on without a hitch as we really wanted to limit as much family/friend involvement in getting the place ready. There is not a single thing that we would change about our special day, and we highly recommend any of the venues provided by The Grand Reserve!"
