Hoosier Grove Barn

ade our day run so smooth and in order and just beyond perfect. We got married on August 3rd we did want a July wedding but when we looked back in May of 2018 July (2019) was fully booked that’s how popular HGB is! HGB supply so much for your special day and they make sure they’re in budget with you which was awesome! All of our friends and family loved our venue they all truly had a great time. I want to say thank you to HGB for making our day just pure perfection in our eyes you all were great and went to the top.

t up. Mallory and Vicki were amazing. They took care of everything for us with smiles! We didn't have to worry about a thing on our special day. They are amazing ladies! HIGHLY recommend this venue. It is perfect.

to work with any restaraunt/caterer. We did not need to go through a vendor list, so it made our day even more personal. It was truly the most amazing night of my life.

ofessional service and knowledge truly shined throughout the process and especially on the wedding day. From the beauty of the venue, their recommended vendors and the service they provided we couldn’t have been happier. We can’t say enough about the great service and support both Vicky and Colleen provided before, during and after! Vicky, our wedding coordinator, handled the wedding day with ease and made it so special. Our guests truly enjoyed themselves and like us, loved the venue. The bride, groom and MOB were able to enjoy their special day worry free! Thank you, thank you!!

was going to be the perfect place for our dream wedding in the fall. The barn provided a beautiful intimate banquet room where we held the reception and part of cocktail hour. Our cocktail hour was held outside in the area between the barn and the garden where we got married, but due to cold weather staff assisted with escorting everyone inside of the barn to finish up cocktail hour. The staff did a wonderful job setting up tables and helping decorate both inside and outside. This venue was wonderful because it provided many options to get married on the grounds of the barn including the school house, garden, barn, or numerous places outside on the grounds. My husband and I chose the garden to have the ceremony which was surprisingly warm for the middle of October thanks to the outside fire pits provided by the barn. During cocktail hour the staff was so helpful with keeping the food that we provided hot and cold and also bringing the food out and setting it up for us. Hoosier Grove barn is a great choice if you are looking for a venue that allows you to bring your own food for cocktail hour without going through a vendor. Hoosier Grove also allows you to supply your own vendors instead of picking off of a narrow list of vendors (although they do provide a vendor packet). I also really liked how the bar had name brand and top shelf alcohol and a wide variety of beer which I found very unique. My favorite part about Hoosier Grove Barn was that is was very affordable and did not have any hidden fee's. The packet they provided was very straight forward and broke down how much everything cost (including gratuity costs). The staff at Hoosier Grove Barn were friendly and more than helpful with planning and preparing the wedding of our dreams!! The only negative I have to say about this venue is that it is your responsibility to clean up after the reception which can be a little bit of a hassle at the end of the night.

to stress and took care of everything quickly. You’re in good hands with her and the staff at Hoosier Grove. Did I mention they offer some of the best bang per buck around!? We were super happy with Hoosier. Terrific space, great staff, overall A+++

after dark!). We got SO many compliments about how elegant, rustic, and clean the barn looked inside. One of the selling points for us was the use of the outdoor space, which we used for outdoor games and a s'mores pit at night. They even had a loft area available inside, which we used for Mario Kart :) Hoosier Grove is open to almost any type of decoration or addition, and are very accommodating for any type of wedding you may have. Vicki and Mallory were very helpful with questions before the big day, and Vicki was on top of everything the day of. After all the stress of putting everything together before the wedding, Hoosier Grove made the actual wedding day run so smoothly, we could finally relax and enjoy everything! It really was the perfect day, and we are 110% sure we chose the right venue for it - thank you!!

luded. We even had a “specialty” drink added for our wedding theme at no additional cost. Mallory and Vicki were both wonderful every step of the way helping us in the beginning with recommendations for local hotels with free shuttles for our guests to/from the venue, florists, caterers, DJ’s, officiants, photo booths, and hair/makeup artists. Throughout the planning process they immediately answered our endless questions, allowed us to spend time at the venue to take measurements and test out equipment (we shared a video during the reception), and even offered additional ideas for our theme. Their enthusiasm was contagious! The day of the wedding flew by flawlessly! Vicki, Mallory and the HGB staff were amazing keeping us discretely on track and making sure all the planning was carried out seamlessly. The also offered personal assistance for our guests with disabilities. The whole experience was amazing!

rrific to work with and made us feel extremely special. Thank you very much HGB on a perfect day!

s and the barn. As someone getting married on a budget we loved having the freedom to choose vendors and doing a lot of things DIY style. Mallory and Vicki were so helpful throughout the process and I don't know if I could have had such an amazing wedding without them. They were there for me every step of the way through the year and half planning process until the day of the wedding. They were so prompt, professional, and helpful. On the day of the wedding they made sure things ran smoothly and everything looked beautiful. All of the staff and bartenders on the wedding day were so awesome and I felt so relaxed since I knew I had so many incredible people there to help. We are so glad we choose Hoosier to get married at, and are so thankful for the opportunity to have our special day here.

ny complaints from all of our guests. I would definitely recommend Hoosier Grove Barn and Mallory to any future Brides. Thank you!!

rally if you can dream it, they can make it happen! We had the honor of being the first couple to use their outside garden area as a dance floor and perfect doesn’t even come close to how wonderful it was!! We have the kind of families that like to play games as well it was really cool that they offered bags and life size Jenga during cocktail hour. They even let us take pictures inside the old schoolhouse which was really cool (I’m a teacher)! Seriously, if you want a stress free, beautiful, amazing venue, book this barn!!!! 💜💜💜

have asked for better more attentive staff. Mallory was amazing to work with throughout the planning process and day of! Our day would not have gone as well without her and the staff! We heard so many compliments about the venue from our guests! I can't thank HGB enough for everything!

ng and hosting my wedding at Hoosier Grove Barn. The venue was absolutely gorgeous. The staff was amazing. Mallory jumped in to help with so much more than I had expected her to. Our poor planning and frazzled nerves meant she had to help a bit with making sure everything flowed. Mallory downloaded the song I walked down the aisle to when our plans didn't work out. Mallory and her assistant set up our dessert table for us. Mallory and the rest of the Hoosier Grove staff made sure that everything was taken care of and our wedding was as stress free as possible. The bartenders were fantastic. The selection of alcohol that came with the standard package was great. I would highly recommend this venue and all of its staff!

a lot of stress with finding vendors for chairs, linens, etc. and not only that but you can choose your own caterer, dj, etc. as well. If you want total customization we highly recommend!!

lory was amazing!!! She allowed me to come up with crazy ideas and she honored all of them! Their alcohol package is the best I've seen anywhere! The grounds are beautiful with multiple places for on site ceremony. The barn alone is just gorgeous! If you book here I promise you will not be disappointed!

so patient with me. The entire staff is extremely friendly and awesome. I couldn't get enough compliments about how amazing my venue was and how amazing the drinks were(top shelve liquor). I highly recommend anybody looking for a barn wedding with amazing staff and beautiful scenery to come here!!!

ole process seamless. Days after and family just keeps calling to compliment the wedding. The guests loved the venue as much as the Bride and Groom did. Hats off the Malory, Leslie, and everyone at Hoosier Grove Barn.

ill do anything in her power to make your day the most amazing day of your lives. Our wedding was VERY DIY and when we booked the venue a little less than a year out from our wedding date we had NO IDEA the amount of prep we had signed ourselves up for. Mallory held our hand through early planning steps and truly was a Godsend to have around in the weeks leading up to the big day (PRICELESS to have there ON our wedding day). She was instrumental in guiding our family and friends who were helping us out with decorations and dj-ing through the process of putting on our wedding, and her staff was no less amazing. We got nothing but constant compliments about how well put together everything was and how beautiful the property and the barn were. Aside from INCREDIBLE SERVICE and STAFF, Hoosier Grove Barn was by far THE BEST VALUE for a rustic-modern barn style wedding in the Chicago Area. You would be hard-pressed to find another venue of this caliber that provides everything they do for their price point. Don't be fooled by their website, go visit them in person and I assure you, you will book it on the spot like we did. 100% best choice we made for our wedding was to start by booking Hoosier Grove Barn!

e so well kept and beautiful. Working with Mallory to coordinate our day was a breeze! Mallory and Leslie both helped us plan our perfect day... they know everything!! The staff at the barn the day of our wedding were all quick to help, friendly, and knowledgeable. Chris did a fantastic job setting everything up, the bar staff were on top of it and our guests loved their personalities (colleen especially). Donna definitely went above and beyond to ensure everything was what we wanted. My husband and his groomsmen loved Donna and she kept them in line lol! My biggest shout out has to go to Mallory. You are doing exactly what you are meant to do! Mallory had to assist my florist that was late and needed to rearrange bouquets. She went way above and beyond to ensure our flowers were out on time and perfect, along with coordinating the rest of the staff, vendors, and bridal party! I am sure I don't know everything that all of HGB staff did because they took care of everything so flawlessly without involving myself or husband. If you are looking for an amazing team and gorgeous venue, this is it, stop looking!!

rden. It was like having three venue locations in one! I also love how they decorate the barn with beautiful lights, which makes decorating for the wedding much easier. We are so happy we found HBG, and cannot imagine having our wedding anywhere else. HBG gave us our dream wedding site at an affordable price!

f the wedding, all of the staff from Hoosier Grove were on top of checking in with us periodically. Everything was perfect! Thank you for making our day so special!

we pictured it. Every subsequent visit, we grew more and more confident in the staff and our choice in venue. The venue itself is gorgeous - especially in the Spring and Summer. We enjoyed the option of having dinner in a tent to not only allow us to have a larger wedding, but to make use of all the space Hoosier has to offer. We used a lot of the vendors suggested by the Hoosier Grove and could not have been happier with our choices. The staff at Hoosier Grove Barn seemed to have very good relationships with all vendors making the day go seamless. Hoosier Grove provided an excellent liquor package that all of our guests enjoyed. There are many places to take pictures at the venue making it easy to get all of our bride/groom portraits, wedding party pictures, and family pictures done all before our ceremony. We got married in front of the schoolhouse steps. The staff at Hoosier set all the chairs up, moved the chairs from the ceremony to the tent, then even took down all the tables/chairs under the tent while we were dancing. It definitely made cleaning up at the end of the night a little less stressful! The communication with Hoosier was great. Both Mallory and Vicki were great people to work with. The day of, both knew what was going on and were great to have around to help coordinate the vendors and get all the decorations to where they should be. The venue is all very clean. We had no mishaps, dirty linens, or major surprises the day of the wedding. All of our guests had the best time and we heard no complaints from anyone. We would 100% recommend this venue to host your wedding or event!

smooth. From the months of planning with Mallory, helping us set up the morning of which I couldn't have done without Rio (and easing all of my wedding day jitters) to making sure that each moment of my day went smooth. They went above and beyond my expectations. Our wedding day was record setting heat and HGB did everything in their power to make sure myself and our guests were cool as could be. The venue itself is gorgeous and the price is reasonable in comparison to others. You must see HGB! Their team and the venue are a dream come true.

areas you can choose to have your ceremony. We had our ceremony in the garden, which is paved in brick and landscaped nicely. Cocktail hour was also outside, on the land in-between the barn and the garden. They opened up an outdoor bar, and our guests were very happy with the quick bar service, and impressed by the beer / liquor selection. Mallory, the wedding & event coordinator, was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole planning process. She addressed all of our questions / concerns in a timely manner. The day of the wedding, she kept us on track with our timeline, and was a joy to be around! I can’t say enough good things about the barn and its staff. Our special day was incredible thanks to everyone at the Hoosier Grove Barn.

ue has several options for outdoor ceremonies as well as indoor options. The facility is just beautiful. To be completely honest, I do not think their website does the place justice at all, so if you have not went out to see the venue make sure you do this!I cannot speak enough about how tremendous the staff is at the Barn. Vicki and Mallory who are the wedding coordinators really assisted in giving us ideas, but also in making our vision of the event a reality. The bartenders and people who worked and assisted with the transitions that take place at the wedding were so nice, and great at making everything run smoothly. I was told by friends and family that after the wedding we would look back at the day, and identify things we would do differently. However, that is not the case at all. We are so happy that we chose Hoosier Barn because we could have not been more pleased!! Hoosier Barn is an unbelievable venue at a reasonable price, and a great place for a fairytale wedding.

ceremony & venue was held at one location —ceremony outside the beautiful old school house, cocktail hour outdoors, and reception inside the barn. The barn is already a converted event space so no need to worry about bathrooms, elevators, kitchen, etc, = big plus!! The barn’s staff were all so great and helpful more so during our wedding day and Mallory, the in-house barn wedding coordinator, was simply superb. She replies to our questions very promptly and works her way to make sure that everything we wanted could be brought to life. Our guests loved the barn as much as we did and a lot of them mentioned that the open bar was fantastic with a wide variety of good drinks (comes with the package). We are 101% happy & satisfied that we had our wedding at Hoosier Grove Barn! Very grateful to the staff and to have our dream picturesque wedding here.

n top of it. Everyone else there was super friendly and helpful as well. Mitchell and I had an incredible experience working with them. We would highly recommend them! They made our big day so special! Thank you Hoosier Grove Barn! :)

the selection of alcohol was great especially for the price. All the guest we’re impressed. Everyone who works there is extremely helpful and help you plan a timeline. They give you a lot of good recommendations on vendors in the area. They helped us create a prefect wedding.

d clearly cared about our special day as if it were their own. We still get complements on everything from the weather to the very beautiful environment of the barn and surrounding grounds. Thank you and all your staff at Hoosier Grove for making our day truly magical (not just a pun because of the Harry Potter theme). So happy working with you and always recommending the barn as an ideal location for any event. Forever grateful! Tori & Andy April 1st, 2017 “Always”

nd willing to answer any and all of our questions. She accommodated all of our requests and was genuinely involved during the process. The venue itself exceeded our expectations. The aesthetics and size of the barn provided for a very intimate and fun atmosphere. We received nothing but compliments about the venue and the wedding itself. I would highly recommend this to anyone - friends, family or strangers!

own food and decorations, DJ is optional with their included sound system, AND you receive a wedding coordinator with your package price. They provided all of the staff that I didn't have, and they have so many other amenities that you can add, and a list of vendors that you can use (we received a discount from our food vendor for using Hoosier). I was nervous about the size of the space, but they managed to help us include all of our decorations and guests. And the indoor AND outdoor settings are perfect for pictures. Ours turned out AMAZING. I really can't say enough about the Hoosier staff and the Barn itself. They rotated our decorations WHILE the reception was happening, without any interruptions, EXACTLY like I told them to (and there was A LOT to do). I was a nutcase bride, but they fulfilled all of my highest expectations. And the location genuinely looks so expensive (and you're getting it for a steal). We love Hoosier, the staff we were provided, and the incredible park district team. Thank you for making our day so memorable and seamless!

nd coordinating to the rehearsal to the day of - everything went off without a hitch because of her and the staff at HGB. We moved our ceremony into the barn because of the cold and our guests could not stop talking about how incredible it was. The grounds were perfect for outdoor pictures (even though it was a little chilly) and the alcohol selection was phenomenal - we also got positive feedback from our guests about this. I do not have anything negative to say about HGB, but it books up quickly so if you're considering it - go now! Thank you HGB for the best day ever!

ounds, but the difference makers were Leslie, Vicki and Mallory and our event staff who were all incredibly helpful and through their experience and knowledge, we were able to take care of details we would have otherwise missed, resulting in our day going perfectly. We can’t thank everyone at Hoosier Grove Barn enough for sharing their enthusiastic service and professionalism, nor can we recommend the venue highly enough.

etter service. I don't think we were told NO once for any ideas or changes we wanted lol. If u want your "wife's" DREAM BARN WEDDING to be everything it can be plus a whole lot more, this is the place to be. I LOVED IT...Thank u so much for the unforgettable sevice and memories. EVERYONE HAD A BLAST!!! WOW. THE BEST EVER!!!!

and thunderstorms on our wedding day so the staff had to set everything up inside; ceremony, cocktail hour and the reception and everything was amazing! None of my bridal party was at the venue to put me in my dress for our first look pictures (they were still getting hair and makeup done) but Mallory, the coordinator, helped me get in my dress. She was truly amazing! Every email was answered in a short amount of time, all of our questions and concerns were answered and they made everything stunning and perfect. We LOVED everything about Hoosier Grove Barn. Amazing staff, amazing service and very, very reasonably priced! We wouldn't change a thing about our experience.. The venue was beautiful and staff was fantastic! We would highly recommend!

(and fun!) our wedding was. From the moment we met Leslie at our first appointment, we knew this venue was different than other barn venues. We could tell after speaking with Leslie that he really understood what it would take to put on a flawless and seamless event. He takes a lot of pride in what he does. The flexibility with outside vendors allowed for us to stay on budget but not compromise on quality. I was pleased to find out beautiful chairs, colored linens and napkins, 5 hour top shelf bar, and an Event Coordinator was all included in the rental price of the barn. Mallory was our AMAZING wedding coordinator. She was professional, patient, and extremely knowledgeable when it came to planning our event. From start to finish, she was there every step of the way. We were so lucky to have her. I highly recommend every wedding couple looking for a unique and intimate venue take a look at the Hoosier Grove Barn!

vely, and the barn is beautifully lit inside. It's just so charming and romantic- all of our guests loved it! But I think what really sets Hoosier Grove apart from other venues is their flexibility and professionalism. Their coordinating staff is in constant communication ironing out details up until the big day (we were even planning from out of state!). They allow you to decorate in your own style (as much or as little as you want) and don't limit your catering options. They let you use their AV equipment (no rentals!), the package includes an open bar, and they set up the tables to your specifications. They offer suggestions and do everything they can to help you bring your vision to life. It really is an amazing and unique venue and we couldn't have asked for a better experience!!

ers were. From the wedding coordinators, to the bartenders, and the custodial staff- they were all wonderful! We ultimately decided on having our wedding here due to the great price and everything that is included in that price. We realized how good of a deal it was after doing our research on similar venues. The only cons of this venue is that the actual barn doesn't hold that many for the dinner portion so if you are planning on having over 100 guests you will have to purchase a tent as well. Also, since our wedding was on a Saturday, we didn't have the option to decorate the night before so, that all had to be done all the morning of which was a little hectic. However, we were made fully aware that that would be the situation before booking so there were no surprises. It was also nice that my bridesmaids and I were able to get ready in the loft area where I was able to oversee the decorating and everything. Overall, the entire day was beautiful and we had a blast!

e staff were amazing from start to finish, and our guests were raving all night, and still are about how great of a night it was. People were even taking selfies with the bartenders because they were so cool! Literally not one thing went wrong on our big day, and we owe that all to the team at Hoosier Grove Barn. I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone I know getting married! And you just cannot beat the price, especially in the Chicagoland area!

the perfect venue for having your entire wedding at one location. We had the ceremony in the garden, cocktails outside in the courtyard, and the reception in the barn. The barn (and entire campus) is BEAUTIFUL so we hardly needed to buy additional decorations - we just bought enough to add a personal touch. THANK YOU Hoosier Grove Barn and staff for helping to make our wedding an amazing day!!

gestions along the way. We were pleased with how smoothly it all flowed together. We received many compliments regarding the uniqueness, charm and intimacy created in this barn setting. We couldn't have asked for a better day!

fect setting. The bartenders and on-site staff were super friendly and helpful and made the night run smoothly. I cannot say enough good things about this place! :) The only downfall was that there isn't a specific bridal suite, and while the loft is perfect for getting ready, but there isn't a place to lock up belongings for the night.

iduals. Throughout the process, we felt as though we were working with family; Vicki and Mallory were so hands-on and patient; whenever I had a question, which was frequently, they would immediately respond in full-detail. The day of our wedding went seamlessly; we did not have to worry about any details which was such a relief. We wanted to have our ceremony on the steps of the schoolhouse, and it started pouring rain an hour before the ceremony time. Vicki and Mallory ran around outside in the rain, communicating with the appropriate people, to be sure that the other vendors waited until it stopped raining to conduct the ceremony. Sure enough, we held the ceremony outside just like we had dreamed of doing. The venue itself is stunning and unique; we are still receiving compliments from guests about how beautiful the property was. Overall, working with the staff at the Hoosier Grove Barn enhanced the experience of getting married; they all made it such a fun and stress-free process. We cannot recommend this venue enough!

I want to thank the wonderful wedding coordinators who made our day happen- Mallory, Leslie and Vicki were helpful, friendly, super accommodating, idea filled and reassuring that the day would be great- and it was!! I went to the barn many times to get ideas on how I wanted it set up and every time everyone was so helpful. Our weather for the day originally wasn't looking too good and we had to make a last minute decision to rent a tent for the ceremony so we met with Leslie and Mallory and went thru the logistics of setup and "the look" and we decided to not do the rent over our ceremony site but instead to put the tent on the lawn as a backup plan and I'm so glad we listened because we ended up luckily having a beautiful sunny day and were able to have addtl seating in the tent for people to avoid the sun and our Groomsmen hung out there prior to the ceremony and it just turned out great! For the best bang for your buck I highly recommend Hoosier Grove Barn - our bridesmaids got ready in the barn Loft area, it was perfect for hair/makeup and mimosas :) we had a group of people help with our table and decor set up, Mallory was always around keeping us up to date, there are so many options to have your ceremony at on the grounds - we chose their newer garden area and it was just so perfect! Picture taking areas are endless and our guests had space to linger and walk around and enjoy the area! Making room for the dance floor was done in the blink of an eye and none of the guests were too bothered - the sound for the DJ was good and the Bartenders were even better! I heard nothing but good reviews from my family and friends about the service , servers and the bartenders keeping those drinks flowing haha! We had just the best time and it was a beautiful great day at a wonderful wedding venue- I couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out- thank you so much Hoosier Grove Barn!! Sincerely, Monique and Jordan Peterson

change the ceremony from being outside to inside the day off the wedding due to rain and cold weather, ended up being better than we expected in the school house. All of our guests kept talking about the barn as well. Hoosier Grove is a great place and I would recommend to anyone.

ue to weather and they pulled it all off. Looking back there was no reason for the worry and stress leading up to the day because they had it all together! If i could do it all over again I wouldn't change a thing! Thank you, thank you, a million times thank you to Leslie, Mallory, Donna, Vicki, and everyone else that had a hand in preparing for this day. The bar staff was excellent! Brian took care of everyone and my guests complimented on how interactive they were and remembered what they wanted! It was better than I could have imagined!

d a better venue at a better price with better help!

nd did an impeccable job! This day would not have been everything we ever imagined and more without you and all your AWESOME staff! Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts! We will both be HIGHLY recommending the Hoosier Grove Barn as a beautiful and flawless wedding/event venue!

can't even begin to tell you how many people asked me how I found such a beautiful spot. The staff was by far the most amazing. Elisha is such a sweetheart and so easy to work with. She put my visions to life and made sure everything was exactly the way that I wanted it. She answers emails quickly, calmly, and professionally. I wish I had taken a picture with her because she is honestly the sweetest gal! Leslie, he was so easy to work with and so organized. I just can't get over how beautifully everything panned out. I love this HGB <3 Jorge & Amanda Rivera

that. We used the venue for both the ceremony and reception and I loved the convenience of not having to leave the venue all day. We got married in their new courtyard garden which is just gorgeous! Everything was amazing and the guests kept telling us how beautiful the place was and how great the staff was (especially Donna and Collin) all the way to the very end of the night! I highly recommend this venue! You will not be disappointed!

most competitively priced as well for what you get. They had lists of dozens of caterers, photographers, bakeries, decorators and any other vendors you could imagine for a wedding already listed out with contact info in a tidy little folder that we got when we looked at the venue. Every vendor we talked to had nothing but wonderful things to say about HGB, and every time we had any questions or concerns, any staff member that we would reach out to was incredibly quick and precise with their responses. We got updates and reminders on things from Elisha on a regular basis, and the payment plan was laid out in a very manageable timeline and explained thoroughly to us from the beginning. Obviously planning a wedding is one of the most stressful things a lot of people can imagine doing, but between the abundant information provided and the help from staff members from HGB we honestly were able to put a lot of specific touches on our planning and had a lot of fun in the process! On top of all this, whenever we thought of something specific (like flying a Cubs flag from the flag pole out front!) that needed special permissions, Elisha or Leslie would address it right away and make sure we could do everything we wanted on our special day.

wonderful. Any question I had was always answered expeditiously and thoroughly. The staff were more than accommodating and always helpful to find solutions (we ended up using their speaker system inside the barn in lieu of a DJ). All of our wedding guests told us how much they truly enjoyed the venue as well as the incredible staff (specifically the bartenders :) ). I cannot speak highly enough about the Hoosier Grove Barn! Thank you for making our wedding incredibly special, HGB!

he rain away for her ceremony in their beautiful garden area. Leslie, Elisha, Vicki, Charlie, Rosa and the bartenders .. kudos to you on our perfect wedding. The memories will be ever lasting. Our guests all commented on the beautiful venue, Uncle Bubs amazing food and staff and MAX from Jolie Photographers!!!!

It is obvious that both Leslie and Elisha both truly care about their clients and work their very hardest to make the wedding day run smoothly. Elisha not only welcomed us with open arms the countless times we returned to the venue to show it off, ask questions, create the layout etc, but she always promptly answered all questions and put my bridal worries to rest. When I emailed her a question at 11pm on Labor Day weekend, I received a response within minutes! On the actual wedding day all the staff, and especially Elisha, Rio, and Daniella exceeded expectations and ensured that every detail was in place! Everything ran smoothly and when our timeline got pushed back (at no fault to the venue) they were able to quickly and effectively adjust everything and entertain our guests until the ceremony began. We received dozens of compliments about the beauty and unique quality to the venue. From the school house, to the garden, to the bonfire at night, being able to bring our pets, and natural beauty of the campus, and we couldn’t have imagined anything so perfect. A GIANT thank you to everyone at Hoosier Grove Barn that made our dream wedding a reality! The Siglers

ooked! The barn team worked so hard to make sure everything went smoothly. Throughout planning, Leslie and Elisha were flexible, helpful, and genuinely caring. On the day of the wedding, the venue support staff, especially Rio, did an exceptional job helping to make sure everything was set up how we had planned and checked-in on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. Lastly, the barn's wedding coordinator, Elisha, is the sweetest and most hard working person! She went above and beyond. We couldn't thank her enough for all the behind the scenes work and continued communication throughout planning. The wedding wouldn't have been the same without her involvement! Thank you so much! Tonya & Eric Ellis

e. Super flexible and very accommodating to us and our guests. Not only do you get the venue in your rental , but you get the entire grounds. The barn and venue are so well maintained. So many different options for your ceremony & pictures. We cannot thank them enough for helping our special day come to life. The night went on without a hitch! We highly recommend Hoosier to anyone looking to host any special event.

uestions and we knew we were in great hands from the start. Our guests are still raving about how unique and fun the venue was. We can’t recommend the barn highly enough. Thank you for the wonderful memories!

exactly what they are doing! I would recommend this venue to anyone who is looking to have a unique rustic country wedding!

cktail hour outside complete with 2 outdoor bars. We had dinner under a tent outside and saved dessert and dancing for the barn! We chose this venue because of the price and flexibility. You really can't beat a venue that includes a bar package in the venue price and allows you to choose all your vendors. You can decorate however you'd like. We did not need a single decoration for the ceremony. We added some fun touches in the barn but it's beautiful rustic simplicity doesn't need much. It even has very cute lights strung over the center of the barn (in our case, over the dance floor) that really give it a magical ambience. Also, do not be scared off by the fact that inside the barn can only hold 140 for a sit-down dinner. We anticipated more guests than that so we decided to do a tent outside for the dinner and there was still plenty of room inside for the dessert and dancing later in the evening. The barn includes tables, chairs and basic linens. You can make it as fancy or as laid back as you'd like. The staff was so helpful and attentive. They helped coordinate some specialty alcohol that we wanted to order for an additional price. The next day we were able to pick up the extra unopened unused alcohol that was left over. The alcohol in the bar package is quality named brands (not gross well drinks from unheard of brands). Elisha, the wedding coordinator, and Leslie the director, went above and beyond. They answered all my questions throughout the year leading up to the wedding. The staff also handles the clean up. I wish I could get married here all over again!

lly Leslie and Elisha, were hands down amazing. Planning a wedding is difficult and time consuming, planning a wedding in four months due to my father’s illness, added some stress. However, the venue staff went above and beyond to make our day special and flawless. They maintained professionalism, responded to emails and phone calls promptly, had a great sense of humor, and were simply genuine. Elisha has an immense amount of patience. I was bombarding her with questions and emails on daily basis and she always responded promptly and respectfully. Our wedding was a bit different in the sense that we had a lot of transitions that took place on our wedding day. Our ceremony took place outside and it was absolutely stunning! Craig and I had about 165 guests, so they would not all fit inside the barn so we had to rent a tent for dinner. After dinner we transitioned inside the barn after dinner for the reception. The staff went out of their way to make each transition smooth and stress-free. They moved our personal items out of the loft and transported decorations from outside to inside. The following day all of our table decorations and miscellaneous items that had been left at the barn were neatly packed and organized. I can’t recommend this venue enough. Simply put, remarkable staff, beautiful location, and reasonable prices. Leslie and Elisha, thank you so much for making our wedding day a great party and celebration. I hope to see you soon at another wedding as a guest!

d sci-fi) filled ceremony and reception. We had several unusual requests and they were happily able to accommodate them for us. From multiple visits to unusual catering plans, the Hoosier Grove Barn was happy to help us navigate the planning process in a way that worked for us. And our guests LOVED every minute of it. It was intimate, personal and above all well organized. I was able to enjoy the day with my husband without having to worry about the details because I knew Elisha and all of the staff had everything under control.

eel very unwelcome as if my business was unwanted. My initial walk into the facility I was not even greeted with a hello or a smile. A hello with a smile is the easiest way to make someone feel welcome. On the tour with Hoosier Grove Barn I felt very uncomfortable as I was rushed from room to room with Leslie the planner that seem annoyed that he had to show me around the facility. The planner Leslie then proceeds to tell me that he would not be able to rent the space to me for the price that was originally quoted on the phone. He also tells me I would have to pay for a wedding package even though my wedding and reception event will occur out of state. I was told I would not be able to rent the barn for the party rental price originally told and also stated on their website. He gave me every excuse in the book as to why I could not rent out the facility. If you are going to refused someone a price based on the type of party, then it should be clearly listed on your website. I would never recommend a place where the initial point of face to face contact doesnt include a hello or a smile. Event planning customer service #1 rule should be to make the client feel invited. This was a poor experience with a lackluster 9 minute tour of the facility. Customer service is huge for me. The facility was nice from what I was shown but the customer service and also the bate and switch price gets a big thumbs down.

e to any questions I had (often times I received a response the same day). From floor plans to catering, we were walked through the entire process with grace. Truly an amazing experience.

ll so very much for making our wedding day we will never forget and if I could give you 10 stars I would.

e lively bartenders and event host's attentiveness, our day was truly perfect and everything we envisioned for our rustic barn wedding because of the staff. Leslie even personally hand delivered our aisle runner to the rental place two days later, after they forgot it when picking up the arch. He truly went above and beyond even after our wedding ended, and I cannot think of a better person to work with for our wedding.

ng that is more casual, however you can make it as formal or casual as you want. Ours was right in the middle and exactly what we imagined. The barn rental was $2000 and we had to pay $1500 for alcohol beverages. Helpful hint**they do not list on the contract that you have to have an open bar, but will make you have one and pay the price for each person. We could not afford to do that, so we had the $3000 beverage minimum cut in half, as we could not afford $3000 for alcohol. We ended up not even meeting the $1500 minimum (300 short) so it seems the $3000 is rather high. When we fought about the alcohol not being in the contract, they offered to give us our deposit back but we argued that we had sent out save the dates and it was too late. Be prepared to fight for this if you don't have heavy heavy drinkers.Also, there is a 5 hour limit on the open bar which is important to know, which we didn't until the end. Beside that point, it was the perfect venue and worth it and a great value compared to other surrounding barns. I highly recommend this venue and Lori is great to work with!!

e!

Wedding coordinators switched about 6 months in, and Leslie helped with the smooth transition. We were able to get in the night before to decorate which worked out perfectly. They were amazingly accommodating with our rehearsal being on the Thursday before! I couldn't have imagined a better day or place. We were able to be married in the old school house, and thank you Leslie for letting the windows be open!!! I had many more guests than anticipated show up for the actual ceremony....so I had a crowd watching through the school house windows. Lori helped us transition from the cocktail hour to the reception flawlessly! Thank you everyone again, I would recommend HGB anyday!

barn. originally we wanted to get married in the school house unfortunately that did not work. Our second choice couldn't have been more perfect in the barn. We were able to accomplish the country classy feel with the elegant touches. Leslie and his staff couldn't have been more wonderful to work with. They were flexible, easy-going and nothing was a problem. Thank you Hoodier Grove Barn for making our special day magical and perfect for us. I would highly recommend the Hoosier grove barn

re planning process with Hoosier Grove Barn went so smoothly. We were married on March 21,2015 and the day was beautiful! All the staff from Leslie, Lori, to our host, bartenders, setup crew, and clean up staff were very accommodating and wonderful to work with. We wanted a wedding at a venue that was out of the norm and the Hoosier Grove Barn was just the place. This venue also is perfect for all your DIY touches. The barn is a rustic blank canvas for you to decorate to your fancy. So many places do not allow you to make your own food or bring in your own caterer or vendors for weddings. The Hoosier Grove Barn happened to be that hidden gem of a place that allowed us to have our family and friends contribute to our sweet table, cupcakes, flowers, and music. The venue provides all the tables, chairs, linens, etc... and a top notch premium bar package. The value for our experience here was priceless. Such an affordable venue that allowed us to make the Big Lucky Day of our dreams! We cannot thank the staff of Hoosier Grove Barn enough. We highly recommend this venue for a amazingly perfect rustic wedding experience! :0)
