Explore lush, landscaped gardens, perfect for photos to capture your special day and filled with colorful ambiance. Wander to the open ceremony area with its rustic deck and pergola nested near the pond, the perfect setting for the ceremony. And create magical memories under the stars in the lighted, wooded area – a perfect backdrop for a night of celebrating with family and friends.
You and your bridesmaids will revel in the beautifully decorated Bridal Suite which is elegant and roomy. And the groom and groomsmen will celebrate in their own comfortable space.

With her eldest daughter getting engaged in May of 2019 and wanting an outdoor wedding on her parent's property , Willow Acres wedding venue was created. With Doug's creative vision; he designed hand made rustic hardwood tables, fences , deck and pergola in the Ceremony Park, with lumber from our property. We have many future expansions already in the works for 2020, which will offer a beautifully landscaped and fairytale setting for your special day.

I can't recommend Willow Acres enough. In every possible way they made the experience perfect.
My fiance and I had a 2 year engagement, I asked a Facebook group for venue recommendations that had an enchanted feel, with outdoor accommodation, no barn, and most importantly, kind owners.
I got multiple recommendations for Willow Acres and they were the first, and only, venue we went to.
When we saw it, even iced over and with multiple new projects in progress, I knew it was perfect. But meeting Pam is what made us say yes. She was so kind and wonderful and continued to be during our long engagement. She and her family were so supportive of my vision and became a part of our family too. I was excited to see them on our special day.
The venue just gets more and more beautiful. It's intimate and cozy. I'm obsessed with the flowers, the trees, the lights, it's got so many great photo opportunities.
I can't sing their praise enough! I only wish I could relive our wedding day again. ❤️

When my fiancé and I started looking at venues, Willow Acres initially stood out and for good reason. The pictures and videos were beautiful and don’t do it justice! I spent many hours looking up possible venues and in touring some locations, they felt impersonal and rushed through. In contrast, Pam took so much time to walk us through every detail, show us the whole property, and really made us feel special! Pam’s care and attention to detail is what sold us on this venue and I am so excited to work with her, her husband, and her team for our upcoming wedding! Thank you Pam!

When my fiancé and I went to start scheduling appointments to tour venues for our wedding celebration, it was daunting. Even though we were pretty sure we knew what we wanted our "day" to look like, the mocked-up perfect photos on venue websites across the Indianapolis area even made us start to question our initial ideas.
Willow Acres was our first venue tour, and Pam's approach to introducing us to her family's dream was delivered with passion and dedication. It was evident all of the attention to detail and precision that has gone into making Willow Acres a dream venue for couples. Even when we mentioned a few of our not-so-typical ideas for our wedding, Pam never missed a beat, and she immediately had suggestions on how we could execute our ideas.
Not once did we ever feel like this was about a business transaction for Pam or her family--very unlike some of the other venues we toured. After seeing some other locations, both of us knew we wanted to go back to Willow Acres. Our big day is in October 2025, and we are looking forward to planning our special event with Willow Acres!

Our wedding at this venue was truly a dream come true. From the moment we visited, we knew it was the perfect place for us. We barely made it out of the driveway before calling Pam back and telling her we wanted to book. The twinkle lights, stunning landscaping, and the genuine warmth of the owners—Pam, Doug, and Sydney—create an incredibly magical atmosphere. Every detail of the venue is thoughtfully designed to make your special day unforgettable.
The entire staff goes above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly. They are incredibly easy to work with and treat you like family, always putting your needs first. The flexibility to bring your own vendors was a huge plus for us, and it made the planning process even more seamless. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our wedding—this venue made our day absolutely perfect!

I would give Willow Acres 5 stars over and over again. The second my fiance and I met the owners and stepped foot on their beautiful property, we knew we couldn't envision ourselves getting married anywhere else. Pam (owner) treats every bride and groom like family. If you are looking for a magical venue with the ability to let your ideas come to life with the help of an incredible staff, Willow Acres is the place for you.

Working with Pam, Doug, and Sydney was an absolute dream. They were so invested in our perfect day and truly did everything they could to make it so. All (very many) questions waere answered promptly and we could tell how much they cared about making sure we were as nerve-free and prepared as possible. The grounds and planning processes are constantly being improved and it shows. The gardens, new pergola, furniture, and bar are so beautiful and well-kept. My only wish is that the night could have lasted forever. The actual event went without a hitch and everyone kept saying how it was the best wedding they had ever been to. It was the perfect mix between formal outdoor wedding and backyard hangout for us. It truly was the perfect night. We are SO thankful for the Franks.

Wllow acres was a dream venue for my husband and I. The grounds are so gorgeous and the pagoda, florals, lights, and ambiance of Willow acres is all so perfect. They help you figure out all the details with set up of the tent as well and have amazing options for decorating. And I cannot say enough about the owners, Pam and Frank. They truly treat you like family and do everything to make sure your day goes perfectly. For example, at my wedding our coordinator forgot to put out bread and wine for communion and Pam brought us out a loaf of bread from her OWN kitchen!! This venue and the people who run it will truly make your day perfect.

We absolutely loved getting married at Willow Acres! it was spacious and welcoming! Sydney and Pam were so helpful with everything, we didn’t have to buy many flowers because the venue already had so many gorgeous flowers! From beginning to end it was an amazing experience.

Willow Acres was a beautiful backdrop for my daughter’s August 2024 wedding. The spaciousness of the property easily accommodated our 100 guests and provided distinct areas for the ceremony, happy hour, dinner, dancing and visiting. You could not find a better outdoor venue for a beautiful summer garden wedding. Pam, Doug and Sydney are easy to work with and promptly reply to all messages. They are flexible and willing to work with your vision. Their vendor list is also top notch and a good place to start your wedding planning. Finally, the value for the money can’t be beat. Because you can serve food and beverages at any price point, it is easy to stay on budget. We couldn’t have asked for a better day and recommend you take a serious look at Willow Acres if you want an outdoor event.

We knew right away that this was the perfect venue for us! We wanted an elevated backyard vibe and this was it. We felt right at home and the team at Willow Acres went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. If I could re-do our wedding day, I would pick Willow Acres 100 times over again. I loved that we could pick our own vendors and weren't limited at all. It was affordable and had everything we needed! It was absolutely beautiful during the day and also amazing at night with all of the lights. Truly perfect!

We loved this venue’s charm! The owners are very cooperative people, and our day felt magical🩷 the venue has wonderful landscaping, and the place itself was so lovely that I was able to save a lot on decor! Didn’t need any table cloths since their HANDMADE tables were stunning!! We got several beautiful photos on this property as well, but it’ll never compare to the kindness and work of the people who worked with us! You won’t find anything quite like this place with unique outdoor charm!

Willow Acres was the first venue we toured, and we fell in love instantly. Even on the dreariest winter day, the property lit up with magic – not only because of the abundance of beautiful string lights, but because of Pam’s obvious passion. From start to finish, our wedding was absolutely perfect and it is much due to the dedicated and passionate staff at Willow Acres. It is very clear how much Pam, Sydney, Doug, and their staff care about each couple and how much time and care they put into the property. The venue itself is breathtaking. The entire night was absolutely flawless, and I cannot express in words how truly remarkable both the venue and their team are. We are so happy we chose Willow Acres for the most special day of our lives!

Willow Acres is such a stunning venue out in the heart of Indiana. The lights and landscaping gave the venue such a romantic and personal feel. We were married at Willow Acres in September 2023 and couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Pam and Doug have poured a lot of love into perfecting their venue and truly care about each of their couples. Pam was more than happy to help with our many last minute questions and even helped us make decisions on decor/other vendors. The staff the day of were wonderful as well. Overall, I can’t recommend Willow Acres enough! Even 3 months later my family and friends still talk about how beautiful and unique Willow Acres is.

Pam, Doug and Sydney are the best of the best when it comes to hospitality and attention to detail! From the moment we started our appointment, they were so attentive to what our vision was and how to get us there. They were eager to give us table examples, tours of every part of the venue, and accommodate anything we needed! Initially I never dreamed of having an outdoor wedding but once we saw the venue, we immediately changed our minds! From the gardens, lights & fire pits, we knew that this venue would make our wedding so magical! We definitely will be recommending Willow Acres to all of our friends!

Pam and her family are truly wonderful hosts. I currently work outside of the country and trying to plan a wedding abroad is not easy. However, Pam went above and beyond to help communicate with venders on my behalf in the beginning (the time change made it difficult at time). When I explained the kinds of things I was looking for and what I wanted for our wedding, she got it and helped make that dream come to life. All of her staff was kind, courteous and fun to be around as well. I couldn’t have asked for a better venue or a better night! Thank you to everyone at Willow Acres for making our night special, we couldn’t have done it without you!
Lots of love, Kat and Dongwook

We knew we loved the venue the moment we walked on the property! The drive welcomed you with stunning weeping willows. The land is covered in lights, greenery and beautiful landscaping. It’s the literal definition of a fairy tale wedding venue. The pergola and reception area are planned with you in mind. They are 100% customizable to you. And no matter what you choose for decor, you cannot go wrong. The wedding wall is so magical and so creative. We loved having our names on the handmade wooden plaque. It’s such a beautiful reminder of all the couples to have had the pleasure of getting married there. At the end of the day though, it’s Pam who really sold us. She is AMAZING! Top notch, hands down everything you want in a venue owner. She is bubbly and sweet and was the most excellent host. She was prompt with all my questions, always available and flexible to our needs and wants. We will always remember our wedding as perfect. And we whole heartedly agree that we would not have loved our wedding as much if it had been somewhere else. Pam and her crew genuinely care about you, and it is truly their passion to make all your wedding dreams come true. We will continue to recommend Willow Acres to everyone!

Pam, Doug, and Sydney - we don't have words for how much we appreciate this family. From the moment we first met them, we knew we'd be booking. Willow Acres was the only venue we toured, and we paid in full up front. You only have to see this space once to know it's the one! :) Their family was incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process - always responded quickly to questions, set up meetings to discuss every SINGLE detail, and on our wedding day, Pam was hands on for anything we needed. At no point in working with them did I feel anxious, or not sure how something would be handled. They just went above and beyond for us and our vision. More than that - they felt like friends by the end of our wedding. We love this venue, we love this family. Thank you for everything Willow Acres. <3

Willow Acres was the most perfect venue for my husband and I’s wedding! The venue is GORGEOUS, with twinkle lights and willow trees and incredible flowers making it all very magical. Pam was such a great person to have running everything, she made sure we had absolutely everything we need, checked off boxes I didn’t even know existed, and is just a sweetheart! Willow Acres has super cool real-wood tables, optional special chairs for the happy couples, multi-color glasses for you to choose, and so much more! I wouldn’t have wanted to get married anywhere else, and I’m so grateful that Pam made sure the day of was not stressful at all! They are very accommodating, with GREAT staff, and incredible owners. Thank you to everyone at Willow Acres♥️

Being a bride is probably one of the most stressful things I’ve ever taken on. Pam and Sydney were absolute life savers in their planning support. They were incredibly responsive and flexible with questions I had and ideas I wanted to try to incorporate. Day before and day of the two of them and Doug were unbelievable with making sure any request we had or details we wanted was remembered. Every. Single. Guest came up to me the day of and praised how gorgeous the venue was and how incredibly kind and available the owners were. Literally have no complaints.

Willow Acres, I cannot say enough about this venue. I have been to a lot of weddings in my life and never have I ever been to a wedding as magical as this one, this is where fairytales are made!!!! Whether it be the drive lined with giant willow trees, the magnificent white tent with crystal chandeliers, the pergola surrounded by trees and flowers, what seems like a million twinkling lights across the sky over the open meadow, or any other number of features, this truly is the most magnificent venue I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. The physical features make this venue a magnificent place to have a fairytale wedding but what makes this venue exceed any other I have ever been to is the owners, Pam & Doug Frank. They truly treat that special day as if we’re their own daughter being married. Pam…. Pam is an angel!!! The lengths she goes to, the warmth she exudes, the way she makes you feel like family…. This gal exceeds customer service in a way I haven’t experienced in the last decade ANYWHERE!!! Our DJ announced over the speaker that he’s been in that business for 25+ years and never felt the amount of love that was under that tent. The ambience of Willow Acres is nothing short of MAGICAL. As I stated in the beginning, I truly cannot say enough good about the owners, their venue, how they exceed one’s expectations,…. If you’re planning a wedding consider Willow Acres, anywhere else is a distant second!!!! I will share pictures after the photographer shares them with Mr & Mrs Keever…. It’s breathtaking.

The venue is absolutely beautiful and a great location for me, but Pam and Doug were ultimately the reason I sealed the deal with them. I haven’t had my wedding with them yet, but based on our conversations, they are willing to do whatever it takes to make sure the wedding day goes as smoothly as possible (very important as it’s an outdoor venue). They host vendor fairs and other events for the couples to help with the wedding planning process and show their appreciation. Pam is very easy to get ahold of for whatever you need. It doesn’t feel like working with a random vendor but more like a friend.
As I mentioned, the venue is outdoors. There are string lights everywhere which makes the whole area look amazing in the evening! Pam has hydrangeas everywhere. Doug built practically everything and did so with wood from their land. They’ve thought of everything. The venue feels relaxing and enchanting. Pam and Doug are constantly improving, so you’ll never have to worry about anything being out-of-date.
Everything about Willow Acres is awesome, and I can’t wait to have my wedding there!

They keep everything very fun but they stay very professional as well. I wouldn’t want to have anyone else helping us with our special day. I can’t wait to spend my wedding day at Willow acres. They have done so much and I can’t imagine our wedding anywhere else.

Pam and Doug, are by far the nicest and most caring business owners I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting.
They have worked incredibly hard to build up their property, and turn it into the most magical, rustic, woodland fairytale.
I wouldn’t have changed a single thing about my experience booking with them, and everything leading up to our big day.
The venues beauty speaks for itself, but the owners themselves are what made me choose it. They are people you can trust, and people you want to give your money to. Can’t say enough nice things about them and their breathtaking venue.

From the moment I saw this venue on this website I knew I had to see it in person. Even though we visited in January, when it was freezing and off season, I could just picture how beautiful it would be in the fall! Let me tell you Willow Acres did NOT disappoint. Our wedding day was everything we imagined and more. Pam and Doug are the most amazing venue owners who are kind, patient, and accommodating! Their staff is just as wonderful as they are! I cannot recommend this venue enough, our guests loved the venue as well and couldn't stop commenting on how beautiful it was and all there was available for guests to do (walk the grounds, wedding wall, fire pits, dance under the lights) never a dull moment! We really had our dream wedding here and are so grateful we have the privilege of being a Willow Acres couple.

As soon as my now husband and I pulled up to take a tour, we knew this was the perfect venue for us! The owners, Pam and Doug, are so personable and friendly, we felt like old friends very quickly. The venue itself was goregous when we visited in the winter and it was jaw dropping once summer rolled around and it was time for our wedding! Willow Acres gives off a romantic and magical vibe especially when the sun goes down. I loved how we could have an outdoor wedding that wasn't in a barn like every other venue. The staff are all wonderful and took great care of the bridal party, guests, and vendors. They have contingency plans if the weather doesn't cooperate which is great! I loved that they had suggested vendors that they worked with before and had success with, but did not require us to use any specific vendors which really helped with our overall budgeting. The venue itself was well priced and give its natural beauty we only needed to decorate the tables and even that was minimal because they have goregous hand-crafted tables! Overall we were so happy to have had the chance to have our wedding here and cannot recommend this venue enough, 100/5 stars!!!!!!!

I could not have asked for a better place to get married than Willow Acres! The pictures online drew me in to check this venue out and after meeting with Pam (owner), I was confident in booking with them. Pam and Doug made us feel like family from the start and truly care about making sure your wedding day is perfect. They are very responsive and professional. Being allowed to bring in your own vendors is a big plus!
The venue itself is gorgeous and so unique! It has all been designed and built by the owners. Our guests are still talking about how much they loved Willow Acres. If you have found this venue, you need to check it out!

Willow Acres is such a beautiful, unique, and charming wedding venue. I’m so excited to have my wedding here this coming July. It is owned and operated by the sweetest couple, Pam and Doug. I was worried finding my “dream” wedding venue would be a difficult part of wedding planning, but shortly after seeing this venue in person and meeting with Pam, it became the easiest decision we have made so far! Very helpful, responsive, and personable people😊

Willow Acres is a fresh new venue that takes customer service above and beyond! It is a wonderfully lit wooded paradise with greenery and flowers galore. The owners Pam and Doug are always looking for new ways to make your wedding day special. They are extremely helpful and have thought of all the little things that help make your day memorable . When my fiancé and I decided, due to covid, that we wanted a fully outdoor wedding venue, we didn’t realize how hard it would be to find one we loved and in our budget. Not only is it affordable, did I mention you can use ALL of your own vendors!!! but the open air reception tent is beautifully decorated with lights, rustic tables and chandeliers- much nicer than many indoor event spaces we’ve seen. The property has all the modern amenities every bride and groom expects. Trust me- if you choose Willow Acres, you won’t regret it!

Speechless. That is how you will feel after meeting both Pam and Doug, and seeing what a stunning venue they have created. Not only is the space absolutely beautiful, it is so versatile and well equipped for any and everything. The accommodations are incredible and Pam and Doug have thought of just about everything! From the beautiful handcrafted tables, to the breathtaking floral displays hand-planted by Pam, this venue is breathtaking and everything I could ask for. The Pam and Doug are truly so caring and I am confident they will be there every step of the way. Our wedding is June 2022 and I cannot wait.

We walked into Willow Acres and immediately became speechless. The entire venue is absolutely gorgeous! It was the first venue I came across that felt like it could match both our personalities without either of us having to compromise.
Upon meeting Pam I knew Willow Acres was our venue. There was no need to look anywhere else. Pam and Doug are the sweetest people who truly make you feel welcome and loved from the moment you meet them.
One of the biggest sellers for Zach was the time and love they’ve put into building such a beautiful venue by hand. I cannot wait to go through this experience with Pam and Doug by our side! We’ll be adding our name to the wedding wall in May of 2023!
Side note: If you’re a fan of twilight (which I think we all were at some point) you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into Edward & Bella’s wedding scene.

Pam and Doug are the most personable, sweet couple you could ever want as venue owners. Doug and Pam BUILT the entire venue themselves. When I say built, I mean by hand, with wood from their own property, BUILT it. It has that backyard wedding feel, while still feeling spacious and elegant. We visited a two times and then decided to choose it for our July 2021 wedding. Pam communicated with me every step of the way, and felt more like a friend than a business by our second visit. They have also recommended the BEST vendors imaginable. I chose Traci with Love Light events and Hannah with Blooms and Buttercream based on Pams recommendation and have been BEYOND thrilled with both. On top of everything, Pam and Doug have been married for years and exude their love for each other when they are together and apart. My fiancé and I left their property both times talking about how their marriage is what we aspire for ours to be like down the road. They left us even more excited to get married. Also, my fiancé can’t stop talking about Doug’s impressive wood working skills! You can’t go wrong with Willow Acres. Can’t wait to upload more details after the wedding!

My wife and I wanted something super special since we weren't able to have a big wedding when we were originally married. So for our vow celebration we wanted a beautiful outdoor venue that we can enjoy under the stars that was LGBTQ friendly. That last detail can always be a nerve-racking detail. Not only were they so accommodating and friendly in every way the fact that the gorgeous tent is coming is going to be an excellent addition as well to our dinner and a backup for any weather that might not cooperated. So, we are beyond excited big thanks to Pam and Doug for being such accommodating and genuine people! Our family is so beyond excited to be able to celebrate at Willow Acres!

When I started looking for wedding venues I had a very specific type of venue in mind. When we came across Willow Acres we knew just by looking at pictures that this was the venue for us. When we went for our tour of the property we not only fell in love with it beauty but the owners are absolutely amazing. I cannot wait to marry my best friend in this perfect venue

I CANNOT PRAISE THIS VENUE ENOUGH. When my wedding fell apart multiple times due to COVID, Pam and Doug helped bring my dream venue to life in just a few months. It truly is the perfect "blank slate" outdoor space with a whimsical, romantic, ethereal feel, and they offer many add-ons (light fixtures, props, doors, tables, etc.) to make it unique and customizable. The owners are involved, great with communication, and go out of their way to help in all areas, even during the event. They truly make you feel like part of their family. Plus, with everything they offer, their prices are great! I highly recommend!!!

Pam and Doug instantly made us feel comfortable when we visited the venue. Pam was so prompt to get back with me and book a tour. We fell in love with the space they have created, not just because it's absolutely beautiful but because it has truly been a labor of love for them. The space is beautiful and can be classy or casual and there is so much freedom to really make it your own. We can't wait to get married at Willow Acres!

I just booked my wedding for Fall 2021 at Willow Acres, and I couldn't be more excited. This venue is PERFECT for my day, and I knew it within a few minutes of stepping onto the gorgeous property and meeting the owner. The landscaping is incredibly well-maintained and designed for weddings, and it is very clear the owners are committed to upkeep with this due to how beautiful it makes the property! The venue is in all-in-one spot for a wedding because the owners have truly thought of EVERYTHING a couple could want to make their wedding vision come to fruition from walking down the aisle to the bride and groom suites to areas for beautiful photos to a cute and fun bonfire spot for a cocktail hour. I was sold on the unique, quaint charm of the venue, and the fact that it has been created to be an experience rather than just a spot for a day. I cannot say enough about how much I fell in love with the handmade wooden tables, chandelier, twinkle lights, and beautiful greenery! I couldn't be happier & I would recommend this venue for such a special and beautiful wedding experience.

We had to cancel our original destination wedding and plan something within 4 months. We found Willow Acres. The venue is not only beautiful but the owners have been beyond accommodating and helpful. I had an elopement package planned, so I was lost when it came to planning a last minute wedding. Pam has offered so much help and suggestions and made the planning a lot easier.

Amazing,excellent,extraordinary,terrific,fantastic,helpful,caring, and BEAUTIFUL. These are just a few words that come to mind when I think of Willow Acres, and Pam and Doug. I had so much trouble finding the “perfect” venue for my wedding. So, for the longest time I planned on doing my wedding in our friends backyard. There’s so much planning into making it how I envisioned it, and then finding everything needed to make that happen. Overwhelming. When we pulled into their property and saw their venue, it was breathtaking. Pam and Doug took us on a tour of their gorgeous venue, and I knew this was the place I wanted my wedding to be. The lighting is perfect, chandeliers, bridal suite, groom room and so many perfect spots for photos. They’ve been so helpful and patient with us as we’ve never been through this before. We’re so ecstatic to have our wedding here in October. Once we found them, everything else fell into place. ❤️

After talking to a few other venues I was so happy to meet Pam and her husband! They were honest about price and seemed to actually care about giving us the info and flexibility to have our perfect wedding. As soon as I turned onto the property I was blown away by the trees lining the driveway and the venue that looked like it was straight out of a fairy tail. The pictures online didn’t do the space justice! My fiancé and I are so excited for our big day and know that the crew at willow acres will help us have an amazing wedding!

A lovely rustic venue tucked away in Middletown! My mother introduced me to this venue and we both fell in love with it, so we booked my reception for fall 2020. The staff is easy to contact and responds quickly. They make sure that my wedding is unique and reflects our personality. Can't wait for this fall!
