The Hideaway at Crazymans 

5.0

Veedersburg, IN
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,500

We are a unique venue that you rent for the entire weekend. You check in on Friday morning and don't check out until Sunday morning. You have all day Friday to decorate and can have your rehearsal & rehearsal dinner that evening. You can stay all night in our large, beautiful farmhouse and be ready to get your hair & makeup done first thing on Saturday morning in our sunroom that showcases the most gorgeous views of the pond, woods & pastures. Saturday you get to say "I DO" and follow that up with the reception you have been excited to throw to celebrate with all your favorite people. When you are exhausted from the fun, you get to stumble across the parking lot & crash in the comfy beds of the house. A huge bonus is that you don't have to shut your party down by midnight...you can go as long as you want. You can clean up on Sunday and check out at 11am. We have the most beautiful sunsets and endless spots for your perfect pictures.

From the moment we first reached out to The Hideaway at Crazymans, the communication was fast, helpful, and informative. Jenny, the owner, was incredibly hands-on and eager to provide support in any way she could to make our special day perfect. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, with a great modern yet rustic vibe that accommodated all of our guests, from young to old. After visiting over 20 venues in Indiana, this was the last one on our list, and as soon as we left, we knew it was the perfect place. Having the space for the entire weekend made the logistics so much more convenient for us and our guests. We cannot recommend The Hideaway at Crazymans enough - the quality of their work and value they provided was truly exceptional.
