I had my wedding here, and if I could give this 10 stars I would. The owner, Sarah, is absolutely amazing — she went above and beyond and truly made our day so memorable.

My favorite event venue in Indiana now. Sarah is an absolute rock star from the initial info call to the last call of the party. This place is even better than the 5-star rating — best kept secret in Indy.

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception here this past October. The bartenders were probably the most popular people there — knowledgeable and so much fun — and my grandma loved all 3 of her margaritas.
