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!

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!

While the Historic Saint Joseph Hall is an elegant and timeless event space, the venue's communication leading up to our wedding day left a bit to be desired. With a change in staff, it became difficult to have any proactive conversations or get prompt responses, and as I didn't have a wedding planner, I found myself chasing them down a bit in the last month. However, the day-of execution was amazing - the space was immaculate, and the staff, led by the wonderful Morgan, were incredibly attentive, even letting my friends do a celebratory shot together. Overall, the Historic Saint Joseph Hall contributed beautifully to our special day.
