Our Kentucky Derby weekend couldn’t have been more perfect! The accommodations were great, the horse farm and bourbon distillery tours were an absolute blast, and the Barnstable party was one of the best we’ve ever been to. It was a weekend full of fun, laughter, and memories we’ll never forget.

We booked the Kentucky Derby through Ben at Bucket List events this year and had an absolutely amazing time. Everything went flawlessly and smooth from start to finish. Ben and his crew made sure every detail was perfect and that made the Derby for us truly a bucket list event that will never be forgotten.

Hal Martin, 2025 Kentucky Derby Client

Our trip to the Kentucky Derby was absolutely incredible, thanks in large part to the expert planning and hospitality of Ben from Bucket List Events. From start to finish, everything was seamless, enjoyable, and memorable. The view of the track was fantastic, and the amenities in the Club section made the day comfortable and luxurious. We never had to worry about logistics; we could just relax and enjoy. We can’t recommend Bucket List Events enough for anyone looking to experience the Kentucky Derby in style. This was truly a bucket-list trip come to life!

Gerard McDonald, 2025 Kentucky Derby Client

Our experience with Ben and Bucket List at the Kentucky Derby was absolutely amazing! Ben’s attention to detail was commendable. This experience exceeded all of expectations! Everything was planned, well thought out and executed. We made many friends.

Kristina Turk, 2025 Kentucky Derby Client

Bucket List experience was great on all levels. Our clubhouse seats were perfect and as promised - great view of finish, covered, comfortable. We loved the additional tours at stable and distillery. Transportation was also efficient and easy. But the best part was the service provided by Ben and the team. His ability to troubleshoot, go beyond the call and pivot with weather conditions is second to none. This is my second experience with BL and I will return for other great events.

Sherri York, 2025 Kentucky Derby Client

The Kentucky Derby has always been on my personal bucket list. My wife bundled my birthday, Christmas present, and our anniversary to send me to the Derby, using Bucket List Events. My experience was FIRST CLASS! Ben was wonderful and horse farm and bourbon tours were excellent. If you have anything on your bucket list, use this company!

Reed Tinsley, 2025 Kentucky Derby Client

Perfect trip!!! First time to the Kentucky Derby and it was the best!! Bucket List events made the trip easy and fun. If I could rate over 5 stars. I would. Thank you all at Bucket List Events - especially Ben! “I’ll be back.”

Charles Haigler, 2023 Kentucky Derby Client

Very grateful to the Bucket List Events team for helping us craft a wonderful itinerary for the 2021 Kentucky Derby.
