Hoosier Grove Barn

After getting married at HGB last night I needed to wake up this morning and tell everyone how wonderful it is here and how helpful, accommodating and flexible the staff is. My planned outside ceremony was changed to inside at the last moment due to weather and they pulled it... Read More 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!

We had our wedding on May 20th and everything was perfect from the time we first looked at the barn to the day it was perfect. The staff is great to work with and very accommodating. Leslie, Vickie and Mallory everyone was great! We had to change the ceremony from being... Read More 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.

Where do I begin! Our wedding couldn't have been anymore perfect! Hoosier was everything and so much more than we could have ever hoped for in a wedding venue. Elisha and Leslie are incredible! Both responded to emails/phone calls within no time. Super flexible and very... Read More 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.

The Hoosier Grove Barn staff made our wedding a stress free day! We met a few times prior to the big day to build a time line, and then our amazing coordinators Mallory and Vicki were there the day of to ensure everything went smoothly. This is the perfect venue for having your... Read More 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!!

The staff at Hoosier Grove Barn helped create the wedding my daughter & her fiancé had envisioned. Mallory & Leslie were incredibly flexible & accommodating in customizing the wedding, paying close attention to details and offering helpful suggestions along the way. We were... Read More 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!

Hoosier Grove Barn was an amazing venue! They were very flexible with changes and helped every step of the way for planning. The guests loved the beautiful barn and outside grounds. We had the ceremony on the school house steps and it was a perfect setting. The bartenders and... Read More 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.

We do not even know where to begin thanking the staff at the Hoosier Grove Barn for all of their hard work and dedication to make our wedding day the greatest day possible; they are a truly exceptional staff as well as an amazing group of individuals. Throughout the process, we... Read More 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!

Highly Recommend! We got married on May 6th 2017 at Hoosier Grove Barn and it was simply a wonderful day! I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out and having our wedding on the beautiful grounds of HGB was just perfect! First of all I want to thank the wonderful... Read More 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

I just got married on Saturday, February 25, 2017 and pictures cannot even show how beautiful this venue is. Vicky Dalka has been such an amazing help and the staff is so friendly and is very detail oriented about their job. Couldn't have picked a better venue at a better price... Read More with better help!

Dan and I would both like to thank you and your staff for all of your hard work and help! Hoosier Grove Barn and the staff are the only people we never had any problems or hiccups with and to us that means so much! Everyone was right on point and did an impeccable job! This day... Read More 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!

I got married this past Sunday, October 23, 2016. I couldn't have asked for better weather, especially in late October (it was in the 70's), but I also couldn't have asked for a better venue for my wedding. It has the perfect rustic touch and I can't even begin to tell you how... Read More 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

My husband and I recently got married there and we loved everything about it. From the day we choose the place, Leslie and Elisha were just amazing. We had a small tent issue leading up to the wedding and Elisha was great in helping us through that. We used the venue for both... Read More 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!

We had our wedding this October at Hoosier Grove Barn, and I don’t even know where to start about how great they have been to us. We looked at a lot of venues in a lot of price ranges, and HGB was not only our favorite one we looked at, but the most competitively priced as well... Read More 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.

We had our wedding at the Hoosier Grove Barn on October 15, 2016. The entire campus is absolutely breathtaking and the history of the barn as well as of the schoolhouse is quite interesting. The venue itself as well as the staff are absolutely wonderful. Any question I had was... Read More 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!

I was married on Sunday at HGB. My mom is ana EP, and she told me that HGB was one of the best venues and gave it a 5-star for hosting any event. They helped out every step of the way to ensure me and my now husband a perfect day.. even kept the rain away for her ceremony in... Read More 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!!!!

My husband and I got married at the Hoosier Grove Barn on 9.10.16 and couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to say our “I do’s.” From the second we stepped foot on the property in February 2015, we were treated with kindness and respect. It is obvious that both Leslie and... Read More 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

We just got married at the Hoosier Grove Barn on 08.20.16 and couldn't be happier! The venue is such a naturally beautiful place and I can't count how many of our guests came up to me to tell us how gorgeous they thought the barn and grounds looked! The barn team worked so hard... Read More 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

My husband and I had our reception at the Hoosier Grove Barn and it was one of the best decisions we made! Leslie, Elisha and the whole staff at the barn were so great to work with – very responsive and accommodating. They answered all of our questions and we knew we were in... Read More 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!

Hoosier Grove Barn was the perfect venue for us! It had the right amount and charm and rustic look. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day! Everyone on the team was so helpful along the whole process. They are very knowledgable and know exactly what they are doing! I... Read More would recommend this venue to anyone who is looking to have a unique rustic country wedding!

I had the perfect wedding at the Hoosier Grove Barn! Our guests could not stop talking about how amazing the venue was. We had our ceremony in the ceremony garden on a perfect sunny 75 degree day (I know... we lucked out!) We went right into cocktail hour outside complete with 2... Read More 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!

The night was incredible. Each and every detail was taken care of and I have gotten comments from guests about the service. Each person involved was attentive and positive and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

I wish I could give more than 5 stars to Hoosier Grove Barn! There are not enough kind words or space on this review for my husband and me to express how happy we were with our wedding on 4/23/16 at Hoosier Grove Barn. All of the staff, especially Leslie and Elisha, were hands... Read More 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!

Elisha, Leslie and the whole team at Hoosier Grove barn did a FANTASTIC job helping us design and execute our dream wedding. While there were no mason jars or baby's breath in sight, the venue was a perfect backdrop for our natural, science (and sci-fi) filled ceremony and... Read More 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.

On my quest to find a venue to have an intimate party to celebrate my marriage. Every venue/banquet hall I visited on this quest was warm, friendly and inviting except this one. On my visit with Hoosier Grove Barn, Leslie the planner made me feel very unwelcome as if my... Read More 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.

All of our guests were blown away by the venue! Everyone was astonished by how upscale the entire place was, yet rustic at the same time! Also, the customer service was unbelievable. I never waited more that 24 hours before I received a response to any questions I had (often... Read More 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.
