Beautiful place, filled with history. Feels like stepping into a real life fairytale. Gardens are perfect for a weekend wedding. A heartfelt thank you to all the staff and owners who so kindly shared the castle’s fascinating stories with us.

Avon Gardens is, without question, the most beautiful wedding venue in Indiana! If you have ever dreamed of a romantic garden wedding, this is THE place for your dreams to come true. The flowers throughout the property are absolutely breathtaking, and wandering the gardens felt genuinely magical, not only for our bridal party but for all of our guests. Even as guests entered the gates for the ceremony lawn, we could literally hear their gasps as they took in the beauty, the gorgeous garden flowers, the beautiful ribbon chair sashes and rose petals lining the aisle, the peaceful arbor elaborately decorated with stunning flowers in our color scheme situated just in front of a beautiful pond. After the ceremony, our guests were escorted through a different set of gardens to a cocktail hour location next to another pond and babbling brook, with adorable locations throughout for our guests to mingle and enjoy appetizers and drinks. Then for the reception they wandered a charming pathway through the sun gardens and into the dining/dancing pavilions. As the sun set and seemingly thousands of twinkling lights and candles illuminated the gardens, the entire venue was transformed into the most enchanting, romantic setting imaginable. It truly felt like something out of a fairy tale. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful Avon Gardens was. Even weeks later, people are still telling us it was one of the most beautiful weddings they've ever attended. We agree! Beyond the perfect visual beauty of Avon Gardens, one of the things we appreciated most about the venue was the flexibility. We were able to bring in our own caterer, bartenders, drinks, decorations, and other vendors while also taking advantage of many of the venue's own services, such as their beautiful centerpieces, candles, signs, card box, and more. This saved us so much money in the end, and the selections we had to choose from were practically limitless. We were able to create exactly the vision of the wedding we envisioned within our budget. And beyond that, the entire Avon Gardens team was exceptional from beginning to end. They helped us plan every detail and then executed everything flawlessly on the wedding day. They carefully set out all of our decorations and table decor, making sure everything looked exactly as we had hoped. Then, as we opted to use their beautiful centerpieces and candles and lanterns, they created the most elegant and romantic tablescapes. Their professionalism, kindness, and calm presence made what could have been a very stressful day feel truly easy and enjoyable. They are all just really nice people, and their warmth and care are only outmatched by their professionalism. Our daughter's wedding was everything she dreamed it would be, and everything we wanted it to be for her too, and Avon Gardens played a huge role in making that happen. We truly cannot recommend Avon Gardens highly enough. If you're looking for a venue that combines the breathtaking beauty of a romantic garden wedding with unmatched flexibility and a team that genuinely cares about making your day extraordinary, seriously look no further than Avon Gardens.
