An amazing venue for an unforgettable wedding
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.
Best wedding venue since the Late Jurassic Era!
We got married at the mansion, and we truly cannot say enough about how wonderful an experience it was. It was beyond our wildest expectations! We initially chose the venue simply because we found the mansion to be a beautiful and interesting setting, but what ultimately impressed us the most was the extraordinary service we received from the owner, Bill. He really goes above and beyond for his clients! He did so much of the setup for us, far beyond what we ever would have expected. In fact, we were absolutely stunned by how much was included, especially given how low the price point is in comparison to more traditional wedding venues in the central Indiana region. He provided so much for us, both in terms of his own time and labor in doing the lion’s share of the setup himself, and in terms of decorations, table settings, etc which were included, and which we would have had to rent or purchase a la carte at many other venues. Honestly, he could charge twice as much, and it would still be a fair price! Bill is obviously so knowledgeable and passionate about the mansion and its history; his enthusiasm in sharing that with us was palpable and made the whole experience even more exciting. He was very generous with his time throughout the process: always responding promptly to our messages, offering suggestions to help us arrange and decorate the space to suit our needs, connecting us with other vendors (for the few services he did not provide himself), accommodating last-minute requests, and even taking initiative to set up additional meetings earlier in the process just to make sure we were on the same page. What we appreciated the most, though, was how incredibly flexible and accommodating he is! Frankly, we had a pretty strange vision for our wedding: we wanted a dinosaur theme. Bill was never judgmental in the slightest, but instead was completely on board with all of our shenanigans and even offered additional suggestions we hadn’t thought of! His open-mindedness and creativity truly made him a delight to work with. If you have a weird or half-baked idea for your wedding day, Bill is your guy. He will make it come to life and make it better than you ever imagined! We truly cannot recommend him highly enough!
