It's a big room with natural wooden floors, brick walls, mellow lighting, vintage furniture and a working kitchen in the back. It's a lovely, lovely space. There were probably 40 to 50 people at the event, and there was plenty of room for everyone. This space could have easily fit 20 to 30 more people. It's a huge room! The ceilings are high, too, so you don't feel claustrophobic at all, even with all the people in one room. 5 East is located in downtown Mooresville, right next door to Zydeco's. This building used to house an antique store, and then a hardware store before that. It has a bit of history to it.

The Willows on Westfield sits on Spirit Lake, a small and serene lake-setting just off Westfield…read moreBoulevard that manages to stay looking serene even with all of the construction going on in the area. There's a lot of construction. This is largely a space for special events. The Willows largely takes up this entire area and includes multiple event options including a ballroom: reception building, a lodge for receptions, a garden, a ballroom for ceremonies, and a lodge ceremony space. The lodge area is actually my favorite area, though I've yet to actually attend an event there. I've now attended two events inside the Ballroom building, a decent-sized building right on Spirit Lake (actually everything is right on Spirit Lake). It has a classic beauty and can be set up for everything from parties to special events to speaking engagements or conferences. The last event I attended here, just a couple weeks ago, had (I believe) 500 in attendance sitting around tables. It was packed - so, I'm guessing any more than that would be unreasonable. This particular event actually had back-to-back events with about a 30-45 minute period between them. So, kudos to the staff here for doing a really quick changeover. The first event I attended here was also catered, a definite option here. I found the food solid (I for the life of me can't remember exactly what was served). I recall thinking it was in the 4-star range. Truthfully, I thought I had done a review after that event but apparently had not. The Willows utilizes Crystal Catering (which they own) for its catering. This facility is run by the same team behind Holliday Park, Crystal Catering, Indiana Roof Ballroom, and The Crane Bay Event Center. Accessing The Willows is fairly simple since it's right on Westfield Boulevard. They have two large parking lots on both sides of their ballroom building. The lodge section is farther to the right. There's a row of accessible parking to the right side of the ballroom building, though the spots are shy of true ADA. If there's a place where The Willows falls short, and it nearly led me to drop it to a 3-star, it's in true accessibility. It's simply not truly accessible and not even particularly wheelchair friendly. There's a significant incline to get up to the door. While you could be dropped off at the front door, if you're the one doing the driving (as I would be) that's not feasible. There is a curb cut, however, so you can at least get on the sidewalk. The double-sided doorway entry is a tad heavy, though during events there tends to be folks around to help out. I also had some issues with the restroom in the ballroom building. In short, if you're a person with a disability or you know you have one in your party I recommend having conversations up front with The Willows. They are, in fact, good at working with people and sometimes pre-planning helps. This is just not a place where I would simply "show up." I will also note that both events I attended here had audio issues. While audio issues can be caused by a wide variety of things, it's a bit of a caution to me that 2 of 2 events had them at one facility. Both times, they impacted the event from an attendee's perspective. The setting here is beautiful, the lake wonderful, the garden an ideal space for weddings, and the ballroom an idea spot for chic, classy events. The lodge can be more laid back or classy. There's much to love here, but there are some accessibility concerns and some little glitchy things that keep The Willows from truly being a 5-star experience. The little things matter, for example even in researching for this review I noted there's a couple dead pages on their website...again, details matter if you want to serve up an impeccable, classy experience. I would easily return here, though as a person with a disability myself I know to plan ahead and be sure to work through the audio in advance to ensure a spotless experience is had by all.

I never worried about my wedding ceremony or reception because I knew they were in her hands. THe garden was well taken care of for our ceremony and looked beautiful. The food was delicious and we are still receiving compliments on it.

The bartenders were quick and accommodating with guests requests. I would get married again here in a heart beat.

I had the chance to attend a wedding reception at Ginger Event Center, a Northwest side of Indy…read moreevent center near St. Vincent Hospital that offers a fairly straightforward set-up in terms of modest-sized events. Ginger Event Center is honestly what I'd call a more "working class" event center. It's nice, though I'd hesitate to call it anything resembling luxurious. For a young couple starting out, it was a solid option for a simple yet meaningful wedding reception that offered enough room to have fun, socialize, and also honor the current climate of social distancing. The good news is that a Ginger Event Center rental is a full-day rental. These days, it seems like most venues are doing rentals for a few hours or a 1/2 day or whatever. With Ginger, you get the day. The venue is wheelchair friendly including an accessible restroom stall. As a wheelchair user, you'd be amazed how often this is not the case even in high-end event centers. They offer linen rental. You can bring in your own food, own beverages, and alcohol (though they do have bar packages and a cool bar area). They have ample free parking. Ginger provides tables and chairs and everything was set up nicely upon arrival. The owner will recommend vendors if you need help. From what my friends noted, the owner was quite helpful. Ginger also includes an audio-visual system (somewhat low-to-mid range in my estimation), a dressing room, a patio area (admittedly, not the most attractive area for a patio), a food prep area, and a bar area. Seating square footage is around 3,500 square feet. Typical capacity is around 200 with a dance floor (which was used in the event I attended). I would say Ginger is a solid option for the area. It's certainly not a destination event center. If you're seeking high-end, look elsewhere. However, this is an attractive and functional event center for small to moderate-sized weddings, special events, religious celebrations, etc. I'm not aware that they have a non-profit rate and I doubt I'd do much in the way of "performance" type events here. However, it served nicely for this very special evening and, most importantly, the newly married couple was happy to gather with family and friends.

If you are looking for a venue where you can bring in your own food, beverages and alcohol plus…read morefree parking this might be your place. The 4,000 sq. ft. venue rents for $1,500 and provides tables and chairs and everything else is the renters responsibility including tableware and clean up. The owner has vendors he can recommend if you do not have your own. This is an unusual concept compared to most other venues we've worked with. The dining tables were set up and dressed when we were there. There isn't a lobby so you walk directly into the room. The room is basically split into two large areas for dining tables and a versatile open floor (think dance floor or silent auction tables), a nice bar area, a very small kitchen, a nice men and women's restroom and a tiny open area in front of the restrooms which I didn't think should be congested. All unloading/loading of supplies has to go through the front door as their large storage unit sits at the back door. You can enter here but you can't pull up close to the door. Not a problem unless you're unloading trucks of silent auction items plus much more in our case. The owner was pleasant and working with several of us during my appointment. He answered all of our questions and had setup ideas trying to help me resolve the issues I saw due to space restraints. With all of our space requirements, it was determined the venue was just to small for our annual auction. In addition, we'd need a ton more volunteers for catering, bussers, servers and bartenders or increase our budget. Great concept for those who prefer to take control of the catering, bar, and manage every aspect of your event.

*** This city owned venue is managed by the Wellington of Fishers owned by Cami.**…read moreI encourage you to do your research and read all the Google reviews on this business. Working with Cami and The Wellington pushed us over the edge and this was the worst service industry experience ever making a trip to the BMV look like a dream vacation in comparison. We share so others may not fall victim to these horrific and unethical business practices. We also want to share that we would not be writing this review had Cami, the owner of The Wellington, taken ownership for her mistakes, tried to make them right or apologized to us at all during the process. Working with Cami was an absolute nightmare from day 1. Once planning started, all of our meetings we had to setup ourselves and had to press to get them scheduled. Cami would not respond for days and weeks on end. On one occasion She canceled a meeting the day-of citing it was too cold outside and she "wore the wrong shoes for the conditions today". My wife called her after receiving the email stating the cancelation to inquire why as she had taken off work to attend and Cami brought my wife to tears interrupting her and berating her for even questioning her last minute cancelation. On multiple occasions Cami refused to answer simple questions or take ownership for her mistakes, engaged in shouting matches with us (her customers), was very hostile, confrontational and blamed us for her mistakes.During ALL of our meetings Cami was incredibly disorganized. It seemed as if she was taking notes, but when we would receive our proposals, nothing we talked about in the meetings was ever reflected. Because of her lack of detail, we were tasked to track it all ourselves, as we could not trust her to pay attention and make sure things would be taken care of. As a result, over a period of several months, it took 7 proposals for Cami to get everything correct. We can assure you, this was not because we changed our minds so many times. It got to the point where Cami suggested we come in to hash everything out. We were skeptical of this initially as we wanted to keep all communication via email. Again, Cami exhibited her lack of communication skills by not replying for days and sometimes even weeks. She would create multiple email chains, not 'reply all' and not answer all of our questions, which in turn would cause confusion, leaving us no choice but to meet in person to work everything out. We requested one email chain and her to 'reply all' so that all parties could be kept in the loop, but she could not follow these simple requests. The day-of the wedding it was apparent that Cami Did not not take notes, or write anything down we had given her or sent her as she had no idea where our cards and gifts table or guest tables went or what time anything was happening. By not reviewing or printing off these items, she asked our set up team multiple questions throughout the day, our DJ could never find her to ensure the buffet was ready for him to release tables for dinner, our cutting cake wasn't put on the floor and our bridal party had to run it out right before grand entrances, and we had to personally find her to get the bottle of champagne we purchased for our toast. Because she could never be found, our timeline was delayed as a result. Had she prepared and printed the documents beforehand, this could all have been avoided. After the wedding, several of our guests mentioned that the servers were extremely rude. We witnessed one of the servers walking by a guest, bumping into her and knocking her water glass out of her hand. The server did not stop to apologize, clearing knowing what she had done, even after we yelled out. At the end of the day, our wedding reception went okay. However, reflecting on the last several months, we feel as though we were robbed of the joy of planning our wedding due to Cami. She is untrustworthy, unethical, defensive, and unapologetic to her customers. It's unfortunate we write this review, but this is our story and we hope by sharing it in detail we can spare others from being robbed of the joys that come with planning for their special day

The building is designed very nicely with tall ceilings, nice…read morelighting, lots of long windows, outdoor benches/pond, nice big spacious kitchen with cooler, separate bridal room, and large stage. It can be decorated up easily for fancier events. Mike/Jamie coordinate booking, but I was especially impressed with Karen and her husband who helped coordinate things day of event. They are very flexible with access to the building and overall customer service is great. One negative is the cost of rent is a little higher than similar venues (~$2500-$3500 depending on the day) and there is no extra amenities provided (no tablecloths/linens/silverware , no servers, etc) that many other similar venues provide. That said, the hall fits 500 people and you can easily change around tables/chairs since the rent isn't based on chairs. They set-up however you'd like everything. Most of the communication is over email with Jamie. Another negative is AV system coordination is not great. I asked Karen throughout the set-up how to work the TVs/mic and she said her husband would 'come soon'. But we didn't get the mic/TV coordinated until the middle of the event after I kept asking. We had this issue the first time I did an event with Grand Hall too - at that time Jamie/Mike were not able to help set-up/explain the system and we ended up not having a working mic the whole evening. Overall recommend this venue especially if you're having a big event and/or want things to be a little spaced out.
