What You'll Learn
Jax and Brittany's wedding venue
Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright tied the knot on 29 June 2019 at the Kentucky Castle in Versailles, Kentucky, the bride's home state. The venue was a dream come true for Cartwright, who had grown up nearby and had always been fascinated by the castle.
The medieval-style fortress was built by a wealthy couple in 1969 and left vacant for over 30 years before being converted into a hotel in 2008. The happy couple exchanged vows in the courtyard, surrounded by white, champagne, and ivory-coloured flowers, with NSYNC singer Lance Bass officiating the ceremony.
The reception was held in the property's greenhouse, decorated with gold chandeliers and bright sunflowers. The 240 guests dined on filet mignon, chicken cordon bleu, or exotic mushroom ravioli. They toasted the newlyweds with blue champagne, matching the bridesmaids' gowns, and enjoyed a cake by Martine's Pastries.
The party continued into the night, with guests moving to the castle's ballroom, where they danced to a DJ and enjoyed food from Hooters, the restaurant where Cartwright worked when she met Taylor in Las Vegas.
