Drees Pavilion Featured in Netflix Wedding Series

The iconic Drees Pavilion serves as the venue of a dream wedding in the upcoming series Say I Do. The new show from Netflix premieres in living rooms across the country on July 1.

The show features deserving couples who have always intended to marry, but for one reason or another, were never able to make their big day a reality. Say I Do dives deep into each love story to find out what matters most to the couple when they tie the knot.

Experts assist each groom with a plan to surprise their spouse-to-be with a personalized proposal, followed by their dream wedding — just a few days later! See the complete story from People Magazine here, or watch the trailer below.

The show was filmed in the Fall of 2019 at Drees Pavilion over the course of one weekend and promises to be a heartfelt romantic experience for viewers.

Drees Pavilion Completes Updates; Reopens for Events

Covington, KY – Drees Pavilion, located in Devou Park overlooking the cities of Covington and Cincinnati, has completed an interior redesign to one of Northern Kentucky’s most popular wedding and event venues.

Drees Pavilion, built and donated to Devou Park in 2003 by The Drees Company, is a 10,000+ square foot event space overlooking both Cincinnati and Covington. The center has hosted thousands of weddings, reunions, corporate functions and family photo shoots over the years.

“We are honored by our place in the memories of so many people and want to continue that tradition,” said Scott Mescher, Executive Director of Devou Properties. “We recognized that we needed an update to keep up with our guests evolving tastes.”

Devou Properties, which manages Drees Pavilion, partnered with Jill Neverovich of DJN Design Services, Inc. Changes to the space include new carpet, paint and light fixtures throughout along with streamlined artwork, modern seating areas and bright, clean designs.

“Our goal in updating Drees Pavilion was to maintain the architectural integrity of the space while integrating a more modern palette,” explained Neverovich. “[Working with] a mixture of warm tones and a modern organic pattern, we added deep charcoal accents, mixed metal finishes, textured ceiling and wall accents and textiles. The new look adds a whole new dimension to the space.”

Anyone considering Drees Pavilion for an event this year or in the future is invited to the Drees Pavilion Open House on Thursday, March 12. This annual event showcases Drees Pavilion’s catering partners, select vendors and, this year, will highlight the site’s new features as well.
