I attended this venue for the first time last Saturday, for a lovely outdoor wedding…read more The grounds were beautiful and the timing was perfect. It was a 4:35 wedding, so it was starting to cool off. They have an arbor under which the bridal party stood, and the attendees face west. But because of the tree line for the woods (with creek below that) that run along the west side of the building, there was beautiful speckled shade, and we were not facing any harsh sun. The grass and perennial planting beds were in very nice condition. The receiving line was held outdoors as well, at the entrance to the building on the circular drive under the large open roof. From there guests could see that the catering company (separate contract) set up the beautiful pool patio for a short reception while the wedding party and families did additional pictures. This was perfect because, inside the bar was already open and outside we had tea, water and hors d'oevres to pass the time and visit with other guests. Again, this outdoor area was lovely. There was a lot of standing room and only a handful of chairs and tables. They might consider adding more for an event like this. The front has double doors to/off the foray. Indoors, the facility is painted a cheerful yellow, and the open-beam construction is so pretty that you don't need to dress it up with a lot of decorations. The place is full of windows in the front near where the catering set up food on one side and the wedding cake on the other. But the real show stoppers are the picture windows on the west side. They set up the bridal party table in front of the windows, and I'm sure the pictures were beautiful. It's definitely got an upscale lodge feel (hence the name) with a stone hearth on the south end of the hall and a loft on the north side, where the DJ sets up. That was fun because as the wedding party was announced again at the reception they got to file down the stairs and dance across the dance floor to their seats. The staff was friendly and one even helped with cake cutting, though that apparently wasn't arranged before the event. The caterers (just okay) refused to cut the cake. The bar had a cute chalkboard display furthering the classy country vibe. One thing to consider for us ladies is to get dropped off at the front if you're in heels. The parking lot and the walk to the facility itself is course gravel. It could tear up nice shoes. Beautiful venue on pristine grounds. I just wish it was closer to Indy but I get that not everything can be!

They have the capability to serve sit down meals and to have a full bar. It got a little noisy for me so I took a little walk outside. I don't know who was more startled--me or the big at least ten point buck that was getting a drink if water. If you are planning an event in this area, you MUST check this place out. Two thumbs up! OMG. This place even has a dedicated propane fueled 20 kilowatt back up generator. I'm in LOVE.

This place is INCREDIBLE!! Not only is the barn and outdoor space beautiful, but the lodge that…read morecomes with it is so extremely convenient and super neat with it's woodsy vibes! Not to mention, the price is the most reasonable we found with all of the extras it included! We booked our wedding here back in December after viewing 9 other venues and knew immediately this was the one! Tina has been absolutely fantastic so far with communication and accommodations. I also attended a free Bridal Show here, back in March, with some of my bridesmaids & family. It was gorgeous and so helpful (and had some great precautions set up for covid!) I can't wait to marry my favorite human at this beautiful place in June of 2022. I'll be sure to come back after to add to my review once our big day is over!

Everything about this place was incredible. Over a year later and we still receive compliments. Vanessa was the best. She answered all of my questions (including my crazy bride questions) within MINUTES of emailing her. She even provided her personal cell number in order to keep my nerves at bay as we got closer. She was there throughout my day coordinating everything but was never in the way and was definitely "behind the scenes". She deserves a LOT of credit for how flawless my wedding was. Hidden Hollow also provided linens, tables and chairs, and SO many decorations. We saved thousands by using their supplies. They have kept things that previous brides have left which is a huge help. The dressing rooms they provide were incredible. A lot of room, the ability to go outside without anyone seeing you, and beautifully decorated for perfect "getting ready" pictures. Honestly, I still to this day am shocked for how much we got and how little we spent. We live on the south side of Indianapolis and I can pretty much guarantee you will NOT get half of what Hidden Hollow offers for anywhere near their price in Indianapolis. I can't say enough about Hidden Hollow and RAVE about them to every Indy bride I come across. Highly highly recommend. Thanks Hidden Hollow for making my wedding what it was!

It was the best thing on the table and just might be the best thing on the lunch menu. Of the three sides, the potato salad was distinctly better than the pasta salad and chickpea salad. And my wife's bacon ranch chicken salad sandwich was okay, and we probably would have been more enthused if it had a grilled chicken patty or shredded chicken rather than blended into chicken salad. Overall, the place had a small town feel in which small talk with guests is treasured. I ended up having a nice conversation with the owner about my alma mater as her father attended the same school. Very pleasant.

We did a pasta bar and everything from the salad to the pasta to the meatballs and sauce was so delicious.

We came on a Friday and although it was busy, it was overall easy to find a parking spot and table. A lot of people bring their own chairs or blankets which could be helpful in the future When we came, there were a lot of food trucks to choose to so can't speak on the food at urban apples, but their ciders were tasty! I got a flight and enjoyed trying different flavors. I wasn't a huge fan of their "regular" cider but I enjoyed the raspberry one and mixed berry. The cinnamon one was also tasty! There is a huge outdoor area and our kids loved playing in the open field and going down the tunnel slides. There's also a play area and other things we want to check out the next time we come. Definitely a fun spot to hang out with the family!

We visited on a Friday evening when they had a Beatles tribute band performing. Nice, and no cover charge! We were starving, so we popped right into the long line to order food. When we finally queued up at the bar, I asked for recommendations and was told the burgers were excellent, so I ordered one. A bit of a shocker - we were told there could be up to an hour wait for food, despite the fact that the building was less than 50% full. It was also a little chilly, so there were just a few peeps outdoors. But I appreciated the honesty. Over 90 minutes later (!), our buzzer finally went off and we picked up our food. And it was not worth the very long wait. As seen in the pic I uploaded, my burger looked like it had been sitting under warming lights for some time. The beef had a nice dark char to it, but after a bite, it was clear that additives had produced that attractive color. There was a good amount of beef, but the processed taste was a huge turnoff. The chips were interesting! They may have been made in-house, as there were big, billowy pieces that were delish, but other chips were moist enough that you could actually fold them. A touch less salt and they would have been an 8 out of 10, in my humble opinion. So I paid $14 for a burger that tasted clearly pre-processed after waiting 90 minutes in a half-full restaurant. No thank you.

There are 3 spots to order. A coffee counter with breakfast and snack options. A pub food counter labeled "Gathering House Grille" and a large bar in the center for "the adult drinks". Feels like it would be an amazing spot for live music. Made for an usual weekend lunch spot. Lots of open seating, some funk playing on the stereo, and not much of a crowd. Service was polite and things were quite clean. I had an original smash burger and it was quite tasty. Seemed fresh and had a lot of flavor. The fries dinged it down a star. They were mostly piping hot and fresh out of the fryer with a couple room temp fries in the mix. Must have been the leftovers from an earlier batch but it was an unsettling surprise. Would be a better place to hang out with friends than to visit as a lone dinner. Hopefully I can come back some time when there's a band and a vibe.
