Down a winding hallway and up a flight of stairs, the Rat Pak is a medium-large, long rectangular event space featuring two bars offset from the main space, a pretty tin ceiling, hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, and a gorgeous view of the courthouse from a wall of windows. For the event I attended, there were string lights strung over the seating and stage area that were very pretty. This would be the perfect place for a wedding reception, quinceañera, or other large party event. Employees were friendly, energetic, and seemed happy to be there. The bartenders at the smaller inner bar were especially friendly. The event I was there for was packed, and the bar line w/ one bartender moved pretty fast I would give 5 stars, but several of the employees (of the venue, not the event I was there for, as they seemed to be affiliated with the owner) were drinking heavily before and while working. one kept trying to get back in the bar line, and kept heckling guests to be allowed to cut in front of them. When he was checking tickets, after the event was already under way so the only people were attendees going to the bar or the bathroom, he was weirdly aggressive and was still drinking while doing it. People had wristbands, so it was 100% unnecessary to interact in this way. (purple dress-shirt, black vest, multicolored tie, short white man... his coworker, a white women in a glittery wrap dress who got up on stage to yell at people about where they were sitting was also drinking, and egged the drunk employee on while he was harassing guests in the bar line) People had wristbands, so it was 100% unnecessary.

As an avid food critic, I was skeptical of the dining courts when I chose Purdue as my place of…read moreeducation. To my surprise, not only was the education superb, the food was world-class. Located between Shreve Residence Hall and First Street Apartments, Earhart Dining Court/Earhart Residence Hall couldn't have a better location. The food, the location, and the staff are truly one of a kind. This dining court embodies the essence of Purdue University, unrivaled by any other location. With the history of America's sweetheart, "Amelia Earhart" it is nearly impossible to beat Earhart Dining Court's atmosphere and pedigree. In a brief statement; the food, the staff, the atmosphere, and most importantly the company cannot be beat at Earhart Dining Court. Exquisite.

All Wined Down is connected to All Fired Up (two separate entrances but the same building with a door connecting the two inside). You can choose to visit the "All Fired Up" side of the business and only paint your ceramic piece or you can pick out your piece and sit on the "All Wined Down" side and enjoy wine (by the bottle or glass) and/or cheese platters while you paint your ceramic piece. We arrived on a Saturday as soon as All Wined Down opened, and spent 3 hours there (the time flies by). Unfortunately, they had sold out of the cheese plates the night before so we were unable to buy any food. There is a selection of wine (sadly no beer) that is decently priced. It would have been nice to see a partnership with local wineries and breweries (for example Wildcat and Thieme and Wagner Brewing Co). There is a large selection of ceramic items to choose from and every color you could think of for your creations. The staff is all very friendly and knowledgeable and you don't feel rushed to complete your piece. Items are ready a week later and they will hold them for several months in case you aren't able to return that quickly to the area. It also would be nice to have the option of high top tables for those customers who are taller, so you don't have to hunch over the table for such a long time. Overall, a great experience and we will be returning with friends to create more pieces.

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!

Long review but worth the read if you are considering this venue…read more We got married at the Parish House on April 5th, 2025, and while the venue itself is beautiful, the overall experience was unbelievably frustrating. We signed the contract in February 2024, but communication was limited until October 2024. After reaching out, we had a good meeting with Lee and got some things sorted, like the food tasting. The food tasting went well, and they even allowed us to submit our own pork recipe that would be used as a dinner option. There were delays in getting the seating chart and flower arrangements finalized. By delayed, I mean that we did not talk about flowers until about 2 weeks before the wedding and did not receive a seating chart until the week of my wedding after asking multiple times. When I finally got a flower quote two weeks before the wedding, it was completely off from what my wife and I wanted. Despite multiple requests, the flowers she didn't want were ordered, and we ended up handling the flowers ourselves the day before the wedding. Patty was not happy about this and was difficult to communicate with about options. It came down to us doing the flowers or not having flowers, and Patty wanted things her way, not our way. At the rehearsal, everything seemed rushed, and everything we communicated that day was not executed as promised on the wedding day. On the wedding day, the venue doors were locked when my wifes bridal party arrived, and the flower arch we asked to be removed was still up. The ceremony didn't go as planned either. The music for the recessional didn't start when it was supposed to, and it felt awkward kissing then walking down most of the aisle in silence. Patty also threw a fit when it came to accommodations for my mom, insisting on putting her accessible chair on the wrong side of the aisle than what we had requested. Then, an hour before dinner, Patty told my wife the pork recipe had been changed, despite saying earlier at the food tasting and in a messge a week before the wedding they'd follow our exact recipe. She also got upset and yelled at a guest in front of others when they brought in alcohol as a wedding gift, yelling at them that they could lose their liquor license as if my guest would've known that. Patty spoke badly about my wife to her MOH a couple different times both at the rehearsal and during the wedding day saying that she was hard to please when all we asked for was the bare minimum. Such as expecting the correct flowers to be quoted and the arch to be taken down as communicated before the wedding day. While Lee was great and tried to help he was very hard to find, Patty's behavior made the whole experience a lot more stressful than it needed to be. If we had worked with the original planner or Keira (the day of planner), things would've been much smoother. The venue itself is gorgeous, but the lack of communication and unprofessional attitude from Patty make it hard to recommend. I hope that for future couples they spend the money to hire help on their team so that those people feel like a priority for planning and on the biggest day of their lives because we surely did not. If you choose this venue, just be prepared to stay on top of everything and hold them accountable. Expect things to not go the way YOU wanted.

We had my cousin's wedding here which overflowed to near two hundred guests and packed the small dining area. Cannot recommend for larger groups, doubt this is inviting or easy to enjoy with more than a hundred; crazy that I have forty cousins just on my mom's side, the reception dinner was noise bursting all over. I did notice everything was clean and chairs comfortable. Catering matched well and worked with the groom's and family ideas. This is an excellent alternative to the typically expensive Lafayette options, plenty of parking, broad appeal, and accessible location.
