It's no secret that I'm a fan of CoHatch, a 30+ location network of co-working, community spaces…read morethat has been in existence for just under 10 years since its start by six friends in Columbus, Ohio. CoHatch, which has hosted at least a couple Yelp events that I can remember, currently has five locations in Central Indiana (a sixth, Circle Centre, I believe has closed). The locations include Polk Stables, Zionsville, Carmel, Noblesville, and this location in Broad Ripple. This location is housed in a former church (I know it used to be Common Grounds and I'm pretty certain it was at least one church before that). There's still some of the stained glass windows present. Managed by Jenna, whom I met during a Polk Stables Yelp event, this location seems to be quite busy. While I didn't get a chance to go around it as much as I'd have liked as I was here for an actual meeting, I was impressed with the decor, amenities, the people I met, and the efforts to make it accessible. Let's start there. Not every CoHatch location is truly accessible - they tend to locate in unique and often historic buildings. This can create challenges to true accessibility. This location has accessible parking in the back along with a ramp that goes up to one of the doorways. If you're not a member, you'll have to be let in. I wasn't completely thrilled with the end of the ramp - it's got a bit of a lip to it, however, the effort is obvious and it definitely works. The parking is also truly ADA compliant. I didn't notice all the businesses here, however, I did note that the Sagamore Institute maintains offices here. This location has the usual coworking spaces, a large event space, an outdoor area with a patio and kitchen, a sports simulator, and private offices. They have high-speed Wifi, coffee/tea options, meeting rooms (we used one to record an interview), 24/7 access, phone booths, office supplies, mailbox service, printing/copying, workshops for members, a kitchen, and an onsite manager. The neighborhood feels safe and is a pretty easy jaunt over to Broad Ripple's main strip. I like the decor, though found it a bit more plain than some of the locations. I think Polk Stables remains my favorite of the Central Indiana locations. This location is probably the closest to my home and it's definitely someplace I could see myself working. As someone who does a lot of social outreach/charity work, I definitely saw spaces I could bring to life here. I also did notice the restroom offered nice accessibility and there were some personal supplies in the restrooms - nice touch. I'd wanted to stop into this place and was pleased when I found out a meeting was going to be here. I finally got to check it out and was definitely impressed.

I had a meeting in Broad Ripple and they recommended this location. It was easy to find and had…read moreample parking, and I was surprised and pleased to find it was a church building that was converted into co work office space for small businesses and non-profits. I liked that they had maintained the structure and tried to continue the architectural flairs and quiet spaces yet allowing for new design inside. It is used for various offices and you can either rent out an office space (small cubicle) or just work in one of the many co-work spaces. It was tasteful and expansive but also had several little nooks for a quieter space. There were outside spaces and even a Barbeque space that could be rented for parties or business outings. My meeting was a fun way to be exposed to this location and will definitely be returning to try out some of the other spots for meetings or work.

The park was beautifully decorated! They have a lot of peonies planted around the park as well as other flowers. The alliums were beautiful too! You can tell how hard they work on this park. There is a gazebo where they held some classes and then the arear was filled with tents and activities as well as food trucks. I would have to check it out when a festival isn't happening to see how the park is, but there were some benches and water fountains and I think it is a beautiful spot to relax or have a picnic. If you get a chance the Peony festival was fantastic. It had some really great photos ops and lots of food trucks and locally made items as well as flowers and plants for sell!

There were two individuals helping to direct parking which helped tremendously. The beautiful Zyntango Farm Barn is an authentic 1800's barn with modern amenities. It's an event venue for weddings, receptions, graduations, bridal showers, family reunions, corporate retreats and special events. It's located about 5 minutes from Whitestown on the NW side of Indy in the countryside. Just 3 miles off of I-65, one exit north of the Zionsville exit and less than 30 minutes from downtown Indy. The barn is two stories with a flight of stairs. I'm not sure of the barn capacity but I would think this is best for a small to medium size event. The free Holiday Market had approximately 18 - 20 vendors in attendance. Cork and Wine Barrel was there along with a jewelry artist, a tattoo artist and Fantasy face painter, chocolate and cookie makers, a candle maker, a variety of signs, a small boutique, a lap blanket quilter and an artist displaying her oil paintings. One of the vendors, Keepsakes By Design, does personalized itching in glass cookware which is perfect for our bakers in the family. A couple of small food and beverage vendors were onsite with BBQ sandwiches, hot chocolate and soda. I found several vendors that is perfect for hostess gifts and family Christmas presents. So glad we took the time to visit today.

I was here for a bridal open house and the entire staff was wonderful from the moment I arrived. Parking was not an issue everything was handled in that area. The venue was showcased as an indoor outdoor attraction and I loved finding out the possibilities. You are able to rent the space for any occasion which I found awesome and many of the working relationships they have established to provide services are amazing. A sunset gathering here would be amaze balls. Just beautiful. If given the opportunity to check out the newly finished improvements made by all means do.

The industry feel is breath taking! I have had both buffet style and plated at Mavris. The service was professional and efficient. My plated steak was by far better than the buffet due to the temperature but that is typical expectation for buffet style. But otherwise some of the better wedding food I have had in the city! Parking is down the road under the bridge and can be left overnight which is a nice perk for weddings or late night events. My only complaint is the train and helicopters can be heard during ceremonies and cocktail hour. So if noise is an issue for you I would stray away but otherwise great venue for your next event!

I can't stop gushing about this place. Mavris is simultaneously rustic, modern, urban, elegant, and…read moretraditional. If you're driving south on East Street, you would miss it tucked in the corner on your left past the heliport, but it is a hidden gem! The first floor is a lobby area with large couches and a chandelier. You'll find a coat check and men/women bathrooms as well. Head upstairs (wheelchair friendly with elevator access to all three floors!) to a large rustic-feeling room with hardwoods galore. I attended a sorority formal here and it easily accommodated 200+ guests spread amongst the dance floor and tables. Oh, and did I mention there is an incredible patio lawn on the second floor (the "garden terrace") with a panoramic view of the Indy skyline?? Feels like a posh backyard, and with the string lights hung up, it's uber charming. You kinda forget you're in an urban jungle (until you see a helicopter land -- might be noisy). I knew I was in a fancy venue when I saw the women's bathroom and bridal room. Did Aubrey Hepburn get ready in here? Picture a classy, department store boutique furniture with light pink walls and a gallery of images from past events. This would be an incredible choice for a wedding venue! Many thanks to the kind and attentive staff for a wonderful evening! I'm hoping I get to attend an event at Mavris again soon!

Outside the main play area there are several themed rooms and a quiet room to take a break. They have a kitchen area with coffee, hot water, tea, hot chocolate, and popcorn. There is an ice cream bar, but that was not in action. They have plenty of little and big tables for people to snack. There are massage chairs for adults (pay to relax) as well as various comfy chairs and benches to sit and watch. They have wifi. I am sure I missed some of the amenities. This is a great place to hang out and wear out the little guys. Staff is pleasant and the process is easy. Be sure to fill out a waiver before you get there to save time.

Weddings and parties are probably most of their business, but if you have a conference to organize, I can tell you they are great at that too.
