I could not say enough positive things about the Wilds. Having been in 5 weddings (other than my own), I definitely feel that The Wilds is superior. I am so thankful for the whole Wilds team and how they continually dropped everything to type up long emails answering my dozens of questions. Working with them was such a pleasure. Imagine feeling as little stress as possible the day before your wedding because you know your venue is taking care of you. That's how me, my husband, and mother in law felt! I truly left our final calls feeling less anxious and overwhelmed because of their commitment to us. They are amazing.

Every single thing about this wedding venue was perfect, from touring, to booking, to preparing, to wedding day! The Wilds walked us through every single step needed to make our wedding day beautiful and stress free. Claire Nielsen was always readily available through email and phone calls to answer any and every single question without fail, and I always felt so supported during the whole process. On wedding rehearsal and wedding day, the employees from The Wilds had everything in hand and worked out like a well oiled machine. My bridal party and I were well informed and moved where we needed to be before every portion of the ceremony, and the employees were constantly checking in on us, making sure we were okay and asking if we had any questions or concerns. They put up and tore down our venue decorations so elegantly, I just cannot say enough good things about this venue. I highly, HIGHLY recommend to any bride and groom looking for a perfect place to get married. Everything was simple and the ceremony and reception was gorgeous thanks to everybody at The Wilds!

My husband and I got married there on 9/14/24 and it was absolutely amazing!! Claire at The Wilds was so wonderful to work with as well as Hailey with Get Wilds. They truly set the couples (and their families) up for a stress-free, turn-key, ready to go venue. As long as you have everything organized, they will do the work beforehand for you. On top of that, they have plenty of decor there that you can use for the day of as well which saved us a lot of time and money! The venue is so stunning that it doesn't even need much in my opinion! And being out in the middle of nowhere was the cherry on top. Would highly recommend this venue for any event! Thanks again Wilds Team :)

My experience with The Wilds Wedding and Event Venue was amazing! From the moment we entered the venue on very first tour we knew this was the venue for us! We were met with such kindness from the staff, and everyone was so knowledgeable and helpful. There was great communication throughout the entire planning process and everything was very organized. Staff was very helpful in answering questions and was accommodating to whatever we needed! The space is beautiful and all the decor available from the venue is so classy and elegant! It was a huge time and money saver, staff even set up all decor on the big day! The venue is in a beautiful location in the trees of brown county and is a dream location even in the rain! The air bnb the villa is also perfect for getting ready, lots of space and natural light!!

Being able to have my wedding at The Wilds was truly a dream come true. It was everything that my husband and I wanted. I loved the fact that I could borrow their decorations instead of buying my own. If you are planning your own wedding or someone’s else’s, getting rid of the decorations after everything is settled is hard. This way I didn’t have to try and sell anything, I just borrowed it from them. I told them what I wanted and they were able to fulfill AND set up everything for you! They did a lot of the decorating for me. It was totally a stress free environment. The staff were there to help if I needed anything last minute. I couldn’t imagine setting the venue up myself and still have time to get ready.

They listened to every detail I wanted and made my vision come to life even better than I dreamed of. Completely seamless transitions from start to finish. The get ready house and overnight stay house was perfect for my family. Made us feel right at home with everything stocked and clean.
I definitely recommend The Wilds! We are not only their customers…we became friends with people that worked with us.

The Wilds was the BEST! We only looked at one venue, and we knew instantaneously The Wilds was exactly what we were looking for! The vibe is incredibly beautiful no matter how much you choose to decorate. The customer service is IMPECCABLE. Claire and the whole team on staff were there for us every step of the way whether it was big or small! Their professionalism, attention to detail, and planning every step of the way does not go unnoticed. It was incredibly easy to plan a wedding with them, and I honestly can’t thank them enough for being patient with all of our questions during the planning process. They really have it down on how to run a wedding at The Wilds and boy is it FLAWLESS! My husband and I cannot thank The Wilds and their entire team for helping us plan the wedding of our dreams.

Better late than never! We got married at The Wilds in October 2021 and it was a dream come true! From the minute we toured we knew this would be our venue. Alison (the owner at the time) was so nice! She made us feel welcome from the moment we met. She made the planning process so easy for us and she was always an email away from any questions we had. The open houses also made it easy to choose our vendors and plan out table designs, which was definitely helpful. The day of the wedding was stress free! The staff that worked to help set up was fantastic! They constantly checked in with us and got everything set up just that way we wanted! The day went so well and we couldn't have asked for more. I love this venue so much! Highly recommend!

If you're looking for a beautiful venue and communicative team, look no further than The Wilds. Set in a secluded section of Brown County in the Yellow Forest, the venue has a covered pavilion perfect for outdoor ceremonies and a beautiful reception space with tons of natural light that can be used for indoor ceremonies too. We loved having so many options for pictures with guests, family, and friends.
The team at The Wilds responds promptly to emails and is willing to answer all questions. Their website is transparent and detailed, and they even provide resources for wedding planning, including vendor recommendations, open houses, decorations, and more. We had the best experience, and our day was perfect thanks to this beautiful venue and amazing team!

From the moment we first stepped foot on The Wilds venue, we were in love! I knew I wanted to have my wedding at The Wilds, with the secluded location, the beautiful modern farmhouse venue, and the stunning Yellowwood Forest backdrop.
Not only is the venue visually stunning, but The Wilds team is hands down the best team around! From the open houses to frequent emails, they were supportive in making our dream wedding come true. The Client Hub and other online resources also made wedding planning so much simpler! Friendly, fun, supportive, and visionaries, what more could you ask for in a wedding planning team?!

Alison and the rest of the staff at The Wilds are nothing short of incredible! From beginning to end, they made sure that every single thing was as easy and stress-free as possible. Alison went above and beyond to help us when we had to reschedule the wedding, and she was so kind, easy to talk to, and obviously one of the most organized people I have ever met! The online planning tool was very helpful with keeping things organized during the planning process so that everything would go smoothly on the wedding day. It was evident that everyone involved was very informed about every single detail. Our day-of coordinator (shoutout to Haley!) only had to ask me two very easy questions the entire day because she was so on top of it! Alison's husband Brian helped the rest of the staff clean everything up at the end of the night and made sure we didn't have to lift a finger. I have received so many compliments about how beautiful the venue was! Our entire wedding day was perfect and we were able to relax and enjoy it because of the team at The Wilds!

This venue and team is quite literally a dream come true. I had the best time of my life because of the space they have carved out for people to come together and celebrate love. I grew up in the hills of Brown County so I may be a bit biased by my love for the land, but the fact that the owners of The Wilds chose this spot specifically out of anywhere for its beauty and functionality speaks volumes! And actually, their service on top of the foundation they have laid speaks even louder. The team offers everything you could think of and everything you couldn't even imagine - like the most organized Google Docs ever and the most present and helpful staff ever throughout the whole process. Take the fact that I spilled an espresso martini on my white wedding dress for an example and the team had a Shout stain remover ready to go immediately and saved my dress (and mood honestly)! Truly, you can't find better value than this for the best wedding you could imagine throwing in the hills of Southern Indiana! I am forever grateful!

We booked the Wilds for our wedding and gosh, I don't know how we would have pulled it off without them! What you don't realize about this venue is that along with a gorgeous space, you get a team of professionals who are ready to support you with any questions, recommendations, and encouragement.
This business has LEGENDARY response times. I mean seriously anytime I emailed Alison, I think she got back to me within the hour whereas with other vendors, I'd wait til the end of the day or sometimes multiple days.
Our wedding was pretty severely impacted by omicron but on the day of, the Wilds staff let me enjoy my day and handled the chaos of re-doing table assignments. They decorated the venue beautifully before we even arrived which was so awesome for me, my mom, and my godmother since we felt like we could just go through and enjoy the day.
With all this support, you'd think that the staff was hovering over us constantly but honestly somehow they managed always be around so that I could get help quickly if I needed it but were also totally under the radar.
This venue is worth every penny - I can't express that enough. Their team made it so that I actually got to enjoy my wedding day (an experience many brides have not shared!) and countless guests were complimentary of the beautiful space.

I could not have been any more excited to marry my now wife. However, I was not exactly excited about all of the stressful lead up to the wedding. Of course we needed the perfect venue, perfect vendors, perfect flowers, and so on.
We went to a few different venues in the Bloomington area.
They were all lovely!
Then we came to The Wilds…
Right away I was captivated by the scenery, and then quickly as captivated by the professionalism, attention to detail, and calm that Allison(owner) brought to our first meeting. This place was clearly special!
It didn’t take long before I realized, if we wanted to have the most stress-free, well-organized, and thoughtful venue, then we should look no further than The Wilds.
Alison and her team are sharp as can be, and have thought of every last detail to make your wedding seamless and without worry!
It was the perfect day we had always dreamt of.

The minute we pulled up to The Wilds the beauty of the black and white building had me sold, and then we talked to Alison. There was no turning back. Alison is knowledgeable and personable and has created the perfect venue. The location is gorgeous, nestled in the trees with color and texture year round. Her list of preferred vendors is the A-list of wedding professionals in southern Indiana. Alison's wedding planning spreadsheet was AMAZING. It had all the details that could easily be overlooked during the chaos of wedding planning. The day of our wedding was an absolute dream. Every member of The Wilds staff was attentive and organized AND loving and caring about our day! We felt like a member of The Wilds family. I would plan a wedding at The Wilds every year if given the opportunity. There are not enough gracious words to describe Alison and the whole The Wilds team.

When you think about the wedding and the entire process from planning to the day itself you quickly find out how stressful and detailed it is. We can honestly say that choosing the Wilds was the best first choice we mad throughout the process. Alison and her husband are theist helpful people you can choose to team up with and they are there with you every step of the way. Not only are they hands on in making sure your wedding day is how you dreamed but they also provide an amazing list of vendors who are equally as helpful in the process. We are beyond grateful for their help and see why so many chose their venue for their special day like we did.

We decided to book The Wilds for our wedding in September 2021 and couldn't have been more pleased with our choice. After looking at several other options in the Indy area, we found The Wilds through a chance Instagram tag and immediately were smitten. Allison and her team were so responsive and helpful throughout the entire planning process (we did most of it from the East Coast!). Even though we had a wedding planner, we appreciated all of the vendor recommendations and built-in rental options that come with the venue. The day of we received so many compliments from our vendors and guests about how stunning the space was and how wonderful The Wilds team was to work with. You won't regret choosing to book your wedding here!

We absolutely loved having out wedding at The Wilds. The property has so much to offer and they have really thought through all the necessities to make a venue beautiful but also comfortable. We loved being able to have our dance floor outside and the sunset was perfect for our photos.
We did have to provide our own sound system/mic set up as we did not have a DJ and The Wilds does not provide such equipment (something that we thing the option to rent from the venue would've been amazing). There were a few things that on the day got loss in communication, but nothing that cause any major issues! Brian was also amazing at the end of the night making sure we had gotten all of our stuff. Thank you The Wilds!

Having our wedding at The Wilds was the BEST decision ever! From the moment we took our tour with Alison, we knew this was where we wanted to get married. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and honestly doesn't need much in the way of decor because it is already naturally beautiful! (Though they do offer AMAZING rental decor packages that help take some of the stress off!) We cannot say enough great things about Alison and The Wilds team, from their professionalism, open house opportunities, top-notch customer service and planning templates/guides. Alison even went as far as grabbing several of her husband's ties from their home before our ceremony that matched our colors when my little brother misplaced his. If you are like us and not hiring a wedding planner, the team at the Wilds will help you every step of the way. Thank you Alison and The Wilds team for everything you did to make our day so special. Get married here - you will not regret it!

The Wilds is without a doubt the best wedding venue to host your special day at! Alison and her team go over and beyond to help the couple be at ease and stress-free for their wedding planning and your wedding day. From the wedding resources, the excel sheet, quick responses to emails, phone consultations, open houses, and day-of assistance is surreal! The Wilds truly makes it so easy for wedding couples to actually enjoy their wedding planning and takes some weight off their shoulders. Aside from their aid, the venue is absolutely gorgeous and is always improving!! From their plan B options to an option of outside and inside the bar, they have almost everything you can need for your wedding day. They are with you every step of the way to help you with everything and even provide you a team the day of your wedding (how amazing and helpful is that?!!). They make something so hard to plan so easy. The Wilds is 10/5 stars and you can not go wrong having your wedding here. Your wedding dreams will come true at this location!!

I don't even know where to begin when describing how great this venue is. I am from Indiana and was so unimpressed with the Indiana venue offerings that my fiance and I were strongly considering a destination wedding. When we found The Wilds we were blown away. The location is perfectly tucked away in the hills of Southern Indiana and the design of the property is elegant, modern, and welcoming. The owners have created the most stunning blank canvas for a ceremony that you could imagine. Beyond the property itself, the venue is family-owned and from the very beginning of the process, the owners are there to help you, answer questions, and make recommendations as you plan your perfect day. They were there, jumping in to help, through the entire planning process and the day-of. The venue owners worked directly with my vendors to streamline decision making and day-of coordination. I am so happy we chose this venue and would strongly recommend the space to any couple.

The Wilds is a perfect wedding venue, from the beautiful aesthetic, with every detail carefully thought out with the client in mind, to the impeccable service from day 1, this place truly is one-of-a-kind.
As a former wedding planner, I’ve worked at so many venues and I’ve never seen a venue more put together. Alison has truly thought of every detail, and it shows. Her care and commitment shine through in every way and no stone is left unturned.
The venue is gorgeous, with handcrafted details everywhere you look, and is surrounded by the most scenic rolling hills and forests of Southern Indiana, but I was even more impressed with the behind-the-scenes. After signing, Alison sent us a carefully thought out spreadsheet, which proved invaluable at keeping us organized, plus an extremely helpful resource document. As a planner, I can’t say enough good things about these.
I had no stress on the wedding day knowing our day was in such good hands. I cannot recommend this place enough!!

I cannot say enough about how wonderful The Wilds is!! We had our wedding here in July and we were pleased with every aspect of the day and planning process. I truly believe there is no better wedding venue in the state. From start to finish, Alison & her team made our big day so easy. From offering a decor shop with everything we needed to decorate to replying to questions via email promptly leading up to the day of, their attention to detail is unmatched. My husband and I lead pretty busy lives with our school/work schedules and this venue made our wedding day possible - there were so many little things their team took care of that we didn't realize until looking back. The only thing I wish I could change about our wedding is making the day last longer!! We love The Wilds and you will too! :)

The Wilds Wedding and Event Venue is so, so special. It first drew us in for its beauty - set on a hill on a beautiful farm, it's picturesque, absolutely stunning.
It was after meeting the owners, however, that we were sure we had found the perfect venue for our wedding!
Alison and Brian have created the most incredible environment for couples planning their wedding day. The open houses, endless consultations, planning templates and timelines, preferred vendor lists, and decor inventory is something out of this world! Take it from me (the Bride), a strong Type A personality, that these things really came in handy as planning began!
As for the day-of, the staff didn't allow us to lift a finger. They were all incredible and so accommodating! It was truly the most magical, stress-free, and perfect day - many thanks to the staff at The Wilds.
We have been so blessed by them, and we look forward to growing our friendship!

I can’t say enough great things about the WILDS. I was a very nervous bride. I worried about it all. The day before I was a mess. The WILDS team talked to me reassured me that my day was going to be amazing. When I walked into the venue it was like a dream. The decorations were perfect. The drapes I had picked out where amazing. I even had table runners I still needed to steam and they told me not to worry about it they would do it. (I could have cried when they said that, it was a weight off my shoulders). I wouldn’t have had a perfect wedding if it weren’t for the details that the WILDS puts into their venue. From the online planner to the meetings and the rental packages they have got it all. I didn’t have my family staying after the night cleaning up because the WILDS team did it. Overall I don’t regret a single thing for my wedding day. It was truly a perfect day ❤️
