Tables and chairs were all set up when we arrived, and it was easy to get the table settings all arranged. They had everything we needed, from silverware/cups/plates/tea kettle/water dispensers and more. We used the projector for a brief period to show a slideshow, and the rest of the time we were playing music from my phone via bluetooth. The wifi was easy to connect to and was reliable. The venue is handicap accessible and the bathroom was large enough to fit the wheelchair of a member of our party, though it was a little tight for the wheelchair to turn a corner to get into the bathroom. They host all sorts of events here from weddings to jewelry making classes and more, so I highly recommend planning an event here!

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at the Beiger Mansion for our 10th wedding anniversary…read more It was an outstanding experience from beginning to end. We had ample parking roadside. We began to appreciate the grand scale of this magnificent structure as we walked up the circle drive. Inside you start to appreciate the luxurious restorations all hand performed by the owner Ron as a culmination of his 30+ years in construction and interior design. The collection of pristinely preserved antiques are displayed through every inch of the interior. Despite the uniqueness of each piece, Ron has found a way to tie each room of the expansive 20+ thousand foot interior together perfectly, mirroring the original builders intent in the mid 1800s. We stayed in the stunning and spacious master suite, with its gold flecked walls with deep navy fleur de lis and double chandeliers cast a warm glow on our special anniversary. Ron provided a dura-flame log every evening, which burns clean in the functional fireplace. Every aspect to our lodgings supported elegance, from the sumptuous chaise lounges to the oriental themed paneled room divider. For these exhausted parents of two early elementary children, we felt like royalty. Ron and Dennis both hosted us in the wood paneled state dining room, where we could sit in a windowed corner sipping hot coffee made fresh and take in the grandeur. Our breakfast was custom made to our preferences with perfectly crafted vegetarian omelettes with maple bacon and well seasoned hash. Ron even fetched our dinner one evening from a restaurant downtown so we wouldn't have to leave our room! I had no idea this gem was hidden in Northern Indiana but I cannot recommend a stay Ron and Dennis's bed and breakfast enough. Thank you both for your accommodations and can't wait to stay again soon.

Dennis and Ron are consummate professionals who executed our event seamlessly. From the beginning, they were responsive, helpful, and knowledgeable. The inclusive nature of the venue made wedding planning relatively stress free - we just needed to handle the cake and photographer. The food, florals, DJ, decor, etc. were all handled through Beiger - and they were all fantastic. The food was definitely a highlight for our guests! Dennis did an amazing job keeping everything running smoothly on the day of the wedding. The mansion is stunning inside and out, which made for amazing photos and ambiance. You can tell how much thought was put into the appearance of every room. Members of our family and bridal party stayed there for a few days and loved it. It was such a beautiful place to start our marriage. Dennis and Ron were so delightful to work with. We wholeheartedly recommend them for any event -- especially a wedding!

Clean bathrooms are a big plus, good bar area with smart prices on a surprising selection, and I like the food, selection of excellent salad, meats, and fantastic desserts for the right fix after a lot of walking and talking.

Even with me only doing the piano performance for the ceremony, not in on the planning or numbers, I easily see why they picked this place and can highly recommend.

Our evening turned out like this. It was 5:30pm we entered the restaurant and stood patiently in the family dining area . No one came. We sent a scout to the bar upstairs. He came down and told us that we could bring the 8 year old up if we sat in the hallway but it seated 4. Our scout carried a chair upstairs for our 5th party. We waited another 8 min. No one came . After 10 min. We prepared to leave . A server said, " are you leaving?". Yes! And we left. This was a Friday night experience. The server was there by herself. She was intending to cook-serve and bar tend. I wish this place the best. It's adorable. Since I can't judge the food or really the service, my suggestion is to call ahead and see if they are staffed and ready.

We planned our wedding from Los Angeles and Keith was amazing throughout the whole process. We rented the tables, chairs, and linens from The Brick--it was all beautiful! The venue was a reasonable price. Everything was laid out very clearly in the contract and the FAQs. Anything I needed help with, Keith was available by e-mail and responded very quickly. Our vendors were easily able to access the venue to set up catering (The Landing) and the cake (C'est La Vie). It was a stress free and beautiful day. I couldn't ask for anything better! Thank you for such a great day/night!

I was attending a wedding at The armory in South Bend, Indiana, and the wedding party was provided…read morewith a complimentary happy hour drink. Around 7:30 PM, I went to the bar to receive mine, but the bartender acted as though giving me the drink was coming out of her own pocket. She told me that someone else should have already gotten it for me instead of simply honoring what was included for the wedding guests. As a member of the wedding party, I should have received the same complimentary drink as everyone else. The interaction felt dismissive and unwelcoming, and it left a poor impression of the customer service. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend using this venue if this is how guests are treated. Customer service is an important part of any event, especially a wedding, and unfortunately this experience fell well below expectations.

She knows her flowers and the process to grow, cut and arrange them to meet your expectations. My wife and daughter meet at Black Ridge a couple times to discuss the brides ideas and develop a plan to meet her wants. Susan also held a final meeting a couple weeks prior to the wedding to make sure everyone was on the same page and agree on last minute things. On the big day Susan and Tom were right on time to deliver the flowers. They went right to work putting things in the right spot and cleaning up after themselves. Now for the flowers...my wife and daughter were over the top pleased with the freshness, color, arrangement and overall beauty of the designs. The brides bouquet was a perfect size and just beautiful. The bouquet held up through all the handling and toss. The table flowers were simple and attractive. They didn't detract from the social interactions by being over sized, wide spread or in your face. They just blended nicely. The lapel flowers were very attractive as the were designed to be simple, worn close/flat to the lapel and masculine looking. The design was very innovative and attractive plus simple to pin on. The wrist corsages were simple, not fluffy or dangling, and beautiful of course. The flower girls had very attractive flower rings that were easy to manage and secure on a 5-8 year olds head. Susan also created a pair of flower arrangements that were attached to the arch behind the minister. These flowers were artificial but you would never know it. They were very attractive and blended with all the other flowers and color schemes. I would definitely recommend Black Creek for your flower needs. Susan is very talented. She listens well and works passionately to make your ideas come to life. Her husband Tom is a wonderful helper and behind the scenes guy. You will find both Susan and Tom to be very professional, friendly and customer service oriented!
