    Nice venue! Big rooms with plenty of parking. Clean and I like that it's not so big that you can't find your way

    I recently attended a conference at 502 East. For Carmel-ites, this used to be The Fountains, and it's gotten quite the upgrade. Signs in the spacious lobby pointed me to the correct ballroom. The room was conducive for presentations, with round tables set up in half moons so no guest had to awkwardly twist around in their chair to see. The lunch provided by Jonathan Byrd's Catering was top notch (build your own Asian noodle salad along with trio of dessert options). My complaints are that the room was FREEZING (to the point that in the afternoon it was really bothersome) and the lack of natural light/windows in this particular ballroom. When I'm inside a room for a conference all day, I prefer (if possible) to see the light of day - which I know isn't always feasible with different arrangements. Other than that, I thought 502 was a solid venue.

    Niece had a very nice wedding here. It's a great place for any type of event small or large.

    There were a lot of people in the event center, but it didn't feel obscenely crowded.

They are dog friendly as long as you sit outside and I believe they also have a speak easy that's not easily found but so cool! We're coming back for line dancing and fun events! A great local hangout for families and singles alike The food is pretty good. It's a very casual setting in what appears to be a big red barn. Sometimes German fare like brats potato salad is on the menu. Love the whipped feta and cider donuts! I believe they have a soft serve ice cream machine which is great for kids especially in the summer. Thank you Payton and the lovely young lady who served us last night! You were both so friendly, kind, approachable and helpful! Keep an eye out of for all the cool happenings especially in the summer like hot air balloon launches and family friendly BBQ's. I believe they do have some igloos available this winter too! It's a fantastic event space for weddings and private events! Come check it out!

    We had an igloo reservation. We had been looking forward to this since August, but our experience…read morewas a huge disappointment. We pre-ordered appetizers, drinks, and all 8 meals for our party of eight and even confirmed everything ahead of time--but the confirmation email didn't show the full order, which would have helped avoid all the chaos. When we arrived, some of our group were asked if the order was correct but weren't shown it, and they were given random flights that weren't the flavors they wanted. Drinks were eventually sorted, but some were wasted due to poor communication. The appetizers were fine, but the main courses were a disaster--cold, delayed, and only six of the eight meals arrived. Of those, only four were correct. By the time the food came out, there was no way to fix anything--two people went without meals, and two had to eat something they didn't want. Staff even argued that we hadn't ordered eight meals, which was completely wrong. For over $300, this was unacceptable. Poor service, miscommunication, and cold food ruined what should have been a fun night. We will not be coming back.

    Coxhall Mansion - The Mansion

    Coxhall Mansion

    It's probably not surprising that Coxhall Mansion is within the Coxhall Gardens location in Carmel…read more Both are event venues exclusive to Ritz Charles, though they fall under the Hamilton County Parks leadership. I stumbled across it today while out driving around and waiting for an event I was attending. The mansion is a historic mansion that was inspired by the Governor's Mansion in Williamsburg, VA. It has multiple options for several events and has been updated by Hamilton County Parks. From the looks of things, those updates continue to be implemented. As a historic mansion, accessibility isn't perfect. Things have been made as accessible as possible - Hamilton County, in general, tries to do that. Event space on the main floor has space for 80 people for a sit-down event. If the patio is included, you could have 100 sit-down or 120 standing. There's also a third-floor music room that has space for 40 sit-down. If you need a larger space, Coxhall Gardens has several other options including an amphitheatre. It's super weird to think that this was a home. The land started with the John Williams family (No, not the Star Wars composer). They were early Hamilton County settlers and moved here in 1855. 10 years later, they built the Victorian home that still stands. Bricks were even made on-site. In 1958, a 40-year-old Jesse Cox and his wife would make a bid on the property - it was initially denied, however, a year later the property was still for sale. Finally, they were able to acquire it. In 1999, they donated it to Hamilton County Parks. Due to its historic nature, the mansion is often viewed separately from the rest of the gardens. This entire complex is pretty mesmerizing, however, Carmel has a long history of weaving together luxury, history, and practicality and this mansion is a great example.

    It's amazing, my cast from my movie had fun at this park. We dressed as fairy's took pictures and…read moreenjoyed ourselves. We had fun at the clock and the waterfalls.

They normally don't have tvs in there, but will set it up for local games. Live the IU championship run, Colts. Service was great. We initially ordered at the bar, but they came and checked in on us while we were hanging out which was appreciated. Will def be back for some old fashions. They also had mocktails where you could make California sober with a shot of THC.

I guess I just want every cocktail bar to be dimly lit and speak easy adjacent vibes. Turns out they aren't all that way. It is a smart design. Large and cozy chairs that you can really sit back and relax in! Fun to have windows into the operation. Service: Still unclear if you are meant to order at the bar or if the bartender also serves. The bartender that night took our order from our chairs but wasn't very attentive even when they appeared to not be busy. I realize there is a lot happening behind the scenes we aren't always privy to. So just fine service - nothing negative or over the top. Cocktails: Yes, please. I always think I'm not a bourdon drinker but then I get a bourbon drink and I question my identity and knowing. I ordered a fall fresh drink that I don't currently see on the menu! Gahhh. I thought they mentioned it was always on there. Well regardless it was a 10/10 and had the right amount of zing and not too sweet. I also had an espresso martini which is delish! Peep the Yelp love on the menu! I will always support a place that has NA options for my sober friends! I hadn't had dinner so I ordered the pulled pork nachos. The queso was orange and I'm partial to blanco queso forever and always amen. The pork wasn't smoked so what's the point, really? The jalapeños were fresh and bringing the heat. They were okay but wouldn't get them again. I'll go to half liter for my fix. Will I return? Absolutely.
