WIN THE FIRST WEDDING AT BETTS HOUSE!
One lucky couple will become part of Cincinnati history as the first to be married at Cincinnati’s oldest brick building. With catering from City BBQ, cake from Busken Bakery and a night at the Kinley Hotel in downtown Cincinnati.

For 222 years, Betts House has stood as a quiet witness to history—welcoming generations, preserving stories, and anchoring Cincinnati’s past. Yet in all that time, one thing has never happened within its storied walls: a wedding.
