The Indiana Statehouse did a wonderful job hosting our wedding! They were willing to accommodate our wedding with only a 3 week notice after Covid ruined our initial wedding plans, which meant so much to us. Tracy & Terry were very personable and quick to communicate with us, which eased a lot of our planning stress. Not to mention that our wedding pictures are phenomenal thanks to the beautiful architecture on the inside! I felt like a princess in a fairytale when I walked down the marble staircase. We highly recommend the Statehouse if you are looking for a beautiful and affordable wedding!

Awarded Best of Zola
From the onset when we first started talking to Bill and his team, he was attentive to our vision. His thoughtfulness, communication, and feedback helped put our minds at ease during the whole planning process. The mansion really is a one stop shop, especially if you have a more intimate wedding planned. Glassware, stemware, cutlery, and dishes are all available for the reception. We had our wedding in the fall and knew that we wanted amber glasses/ decor for the event and had let Bill know we were purchasing some of this for our guests to use. What we didn’t expect was for him to give us access to all of the existing decor in the mansion that matched our aesthetic. You’re truly not just getting a fantastic venue; you’re working with an amazing person. We also originally planned to have a tent for the reception (which Bill gave a list of recommended places to rent from), as well as our ceremony in a different part of the venue. We changed our mind as the wedding got closer and Bill was not only flexible with this, but supportive and understanding. He helped us layout where we wanted certain decorations to go, how the seating should be arrange, and helped us map out what the day of the wedding would look like. He was so professional and was arguably as excited about our wedding as we were. Leading up to the day of the wedding, some of our guests were staying at the mansion. Bill and his team prepared the rooms for our guests and even made the moments before the wedding memorable as well. They had full use of the mansion and he was a call away if anything was needed. The backyard was decorated with strings of lights, a dance floor, and he had both pews and chairs for our guests to sit in during the ceremony. As for the venue itself, it was originally built by a furniture manufacture near the early twentieth century. The incredibly detailed woodwork throughout the house and in the historic dining room furniture reflect this history beautifully. The downstairs has two fireplaces that made perfect locations for family and group photographs. A freak thunderstorm delayed our departure from the venue, and once again, Bill came through by allowing us to stay an additional night there to ensure our travels were safe. You really can search across the country, but we truly don’t believe you will find a better venue or team than you would here. It made a potentially stressful event into such an amazing start to our marriage.

Lizton Lodge was the first venue we toured to host our wedding, and we might as well have skipped the 3 other venues we toured that day. With its beautiful architecture, scenery, and staff, Lizton Lodge was all we could have ever asked for out of a venue. They were very responsive whenever we reached out with questions, and were always open to us visiting the venue throughout the wedding planning process. We received so much feedback during our reception about how it was the best wedding venue that our guests have ever been to, which obviously made us extremely happy to hear.
