She helped me with all my questions for my son's wedding. The wait staff (for the wedding) were top notch and appreciated how helpful they were. Lastly, the food was amazing and I would order from them again if I lived closer. 100% would recommend them for ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING you need catered.

Had the pleasure of coming here for a wedding reception. I'm no expert on venues, but this is one I…read moream 100% behind. Hedwig has plenty of space and a dance floor in the middle of it all. There is a large bar area and enough room for a cocktail hour line plus a coffee bar. Most importantly, there is a disco ball! Plus: everything was clean and well-maintained. Hedwig took care of the wall decorations, table decorations, tablecloths, bar, and dinner. The wall decorations were white and (at the bride and groom's request) red lights. It was quite elegant. They also recommended the DJ, who was quite good! If I weren't from out of town, I'd have some event at Hedwig myself. Keep up the good work, Hedwig!

Barn wedding anyone?!…read more What a beautiful and well kept venue. The main barn is rustic yet charming and the adjacent outdoor patio is large and welcoming. The landscaping surrounding the venue is well maintained and offers an additional option for hosting your party. We came here to see the venue for my brother and his fiancee's wedding next summer. The place just invites many ideas to form in regards to having a beautiful and unforgettable wedding. 5 stars for the venue itself. And this is without the decorations, food, and entertainment! If you book this place here for your party, they supply the chairs, tables, and decor. They also have suggested caterers to provide the food for your party. The main barn is also heated and air conditioned depending on the time of year that you book! I'll give you guys an updated review in June 2018 after the wedding. Can't wait!

I attended one of the most beautiful weddings this past week at the Blissful Barn. The venue is…read moremagical. From the moment I stepped out of my car and started walking towards the barn, I knew it was going to be special. The landscaping is breathtaking. The wedding was held outside and luckily the weather was perfect. Afterwards, the appetizers were served on the deck. The bar is inside this beautiful barn. Everything was truly authentic from the tables, to the place settings, to the uniquely furnished bathrooms. They opened up the large barn doors to let the fresh air move throughout the space. The food was very good. It was set up out on the deck as a buffet. Outside in the garden area, games were set up for the guests to play and there was dancing on the deck. A beautiful wedding, at a beautiful location, with a beautiful couple!

Went here for a wedding this past weekend. Gorgeous space - but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out in the…read moremiddle of no where La Porte Indiana. Indeed, it was one of the more beautiful wedding spaces I have been too, but it was so secluded cell phone reception for myself and multiple guests was iffy at best. Not that I was dying to talk on my phone, but I think if you are considering this place for your wedding/event - look into it. I used my cell phone non stop on my wedding day - as getting ahold of your wedding party is crucial. So, just something to think about - may be an issue for some. Wedding was outside on a terrace overlooking a gorgeous area of tree lined land (no tent, but I heard they are available) and it was really spacious. Reception was inside and the banquet room was nice and had huge windows overlooking some woods which was really nice and different from the typical boring banquet facilities. Food was delicious - although I wish the portions had been a little bigger. If i'm drinking for more than 3 hours I need a substantial base. :) All in all - really enjoyed it. About two hours from Chicago, and although we didn't stay at a hotel, there are plenty within 15-20 minutes.

But - nonetheless - the Prime Rib is famous, and of course delicious (same prime rib as Heston Bar). I loved all the food, the choices, the staff. It was rather pricey but what do you expect for a secluded, gorgeous location? The wedding was held on the terrace, it was beautiful and perfect. But, of course, I am a bit biased as it was my wedding day. :)

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!

I wasn't part of the planning, but I hope the bride and groom were happy with the set-up because it really was beautiful. I like how they set the tables up, too, because you didn't feel so far from the wedding party. Really minor: The bartender didn't know what a dark and stormy was and when I just told her rum and ginger beer, she kind of looked at me funny. Also, it was an August wedding so it was very humid and although the fans inside, above the dance floor were beautiful, it still got very hot. Doesn't matter too much when you're celebrating, though! The dinner set-up and bathrooms were very clean, I should add!

We had both our ceremony and our reception at Whittaker Woods. The venue is lovely and the servers…read morewere nice. Those are really the only positive things that we can say about Whittaker Woods as our venue. The rest of our experience was horrid. Our experience seemed to be common because whenever we told people who lived in the area where our wedding was going to be held, their eyes would get wide, and they would say, "Oh? How is that working out?" When we would ask them for their opinion, they all basically suggested that the management was very unpleasant to deal with, from what they had heard from other couples. Our event coordinator changed twice during the less than one year that we were planning our wedding. We had high hopes going in because the original coordinator seemed to know what she was doing, was nice, and seemed to really want our business; however, she was replaced for mysterious and complicated reasons shortly after we signed our contract. The two coordinators who followed her seemed to have no experience or training in event coordination. The prices were all increased substantially between when we signed on with them and when our wedding was held, and we were not given the new prices until a week before our wedding - talk about stress! The owner, Mr. O'Brien, seems to only care about money and is very unprofessional. We were never introduced to him, but heard him once yelling at his staff about someone who hadn't paid their deposit, where all the customers (not many that day) could hear him-he seemed not to care. Our coordinator (the third one) consistently did not return our phone calls regarding the planning, and seemed always to be disorganized. She also once claimed to have never received a message that we left her, but later FAXed us a sheet that had a photocopy of the message slip that she "didn't receive". She also miscalculated our bill. We scheduled a tasting, and our coordinator did not give the chef the list of items that we wanted to taste, so he was unprepared. He also had dirt under his fingernails, just what you want in a chef. The food did taste good, but was overpriced. The shuttle bus that we paid to have to drive our guests from the hotel to Whittaker Woods and back left 30 minutes prior to the time that we had paid for, even though the coordinator had told us that he would stay. Then many of our guest (and us!) had to bum rides back to the hotel. Their excuse was that the shuttle driver had been sitting there for a while waiting for people to need a ride. What does that matter when we are paying by the hour?! Why should a lot of people be leaving when the reception is far from over?! That pretty much sums up our experience. As I said, the facility looks very nice and is set up well to hold a wedding and reception, but by the time we had our weddding, we had had so many problems with the management, it was hard not to let that affect our feelings about the place; also, we were worried about how they were going to take advantage of us next, but tried not to let it spoil our day.
