Featuring hand-painted murals, marble, stained glass windows, vaulted ceilings, terrazzo flooring, & a cobblestone courtyard, this spectacular venue made for an unrivaled setting for events.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!
