So it was a bit of a last minute plan that got me to Joseph Decuis back in May... I was in the…read moremiddle of planning my wedding when COVID hit and I had to cancel my entire wedding. My husband and I were fairly set on still getting married on our original day, so with about a week to go, we reached out to Joseph Decuis. And we are SO GLAD that we did -- it was completely different from what we had planned, but we wouldn't have traded it for anything (even our original wedding). We rented their inn for the weekend so that our parents and two siblings could be there. The inn is absolutely beautiful! they have stayed true to the history of the home with their decor and it was gorgeous. Diane took amazing care of us, meeting every need and truly going above and beyond for us. She made us breakfast each morning and everything was delicious. They don't have a TV, so it forced us to be very present with each other and enjoy the outdoors while we were visiting. All of the bedrooms were beautiful and comfortable, the bathrooms were updated and quite large! We loved our tour of the expansive and beautiful grounds, seeing all of their animals, gardens, and the many farm buildings. Then the day of the wedding -- they did more for us than I could have dreamed possible! It felt like they personally wanted to give us a fairytale wedding. I rode to the ceremony in an elegant, white horse-drawn carriage to the spot we had chosen while on our tour -- they had showed us many possibilities along the way. Throughout the day, they took videos and photos so that we would have lots of memories of our day. The owner of the farm drove my husband, our photographer, and I around on a golf cart so that we could take photos in many different places. The food throughout our stay was amazing. The steak and lasagna were both incredible, with their wagyu beef. We also had the pork chops, which were just okay. All of the sides were delicious though -- salad, mashed potatoes, etc. I truly cannot say enough kind things about all of the staff and the property. They took a disaster and turned it into a dream come true -- all with about a week's notice! We can't wait to go back!

We couldn't have asked for a better owner. They let us get in Thursday to decorate, they let us use their walk-in coolers for flower storage and they let us decorate the hall however we wanted!!

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!

This time was for a Valentine's Day lunch with my husband and we sat at the bar on the distillery side. Ambience on both sides is very good. I had the veggie pizza the first time- it was cooked to perfection! This time I had the tatchos without meat (I'm vegetarian) and they were good but a little soggy. Maybe if the meat was on them they wouldn't be? I don't drink anymore and their mocktail is crazy good. At least they offer one! My husband got the Old Fashioned flight and they were all good. He ended up buying the blueberry and cherry whiskeys when we left. This place has heated igloos, tours, tastings, a great gift shop, and outdoor concerts we plan on attending. We will definitely take out of town friends and family here. Highly recommend!

I am reviewing YOLO for their wedding services as well as Early Bird for their VIP package. These…read moreservices were rendered in July 2013, with contact starting in May/June 2012. I do not remember how I found YOLO, but when I did, I knew it was the place I wanted to have our wedding reception. The owners have taken the time to really make the space upper-class and trendy. I felt my guests were going to experience the best Fort Wayne had to offer. Kristen was our contact from day one and she was always on top of her game. She was there for me for months as I was debating if we should go to this spot or not, there for the 15 times I changed the menu and even there on my wedding day. As an owner, I was quite impressed with her for taking so much time and care into our day. Kristen was good with communication, especially as we became closer to our wedding date. She also was great in allowing us to come in early for setup. YOLO was a dream for me because I got a lot of features in one deal. Uplighting was included, I didn't have to search many places for a caterer (in-house), large space, linens/silverware/glassware/dishware included, color choices for linens... They were not very restrictive in what we could not do like other venues. We received a discount from the hotel across the street as well, which became our wedding hotel. I was happy with all that. And plus, the cost for YOLO was very reasonable. We were open with many people on how much we paid and they were shocked. YOLO worked with us on a payment plan and was flexible with us as we changed features, which impacted cost. I love they had a child's option, which brought down costs. As stated above, having a lot of flexibility was the reason I went with YOLO. We had to have Trolley's catering, but we were allowed to go with anyone for the rest. Trolley's was good and everything we had was great. You could tell Trolley's had a great relationship with YOLO and wanted to impress their clients. On the day of our wedding, our food was great and guests had only great things to say. Another thing that sets YOLO apart was the fact they have a nightclub attached to the venue. As a result, they had (not sure if this still applies now) packages that include your wedding reception and a discount on the nightclub package. We were able to get a VIP section for 50% off, a great deal. This was a major highlight of our wedding, as we had a morning service and lunch reception. We were happy to have a cost effective option where we and our guests could still party the night way. At Early Birds, we had a large section set aside for us with good barside service. I think we got more bottles and alcohol, then we expected. We were suppose to be in a VIP room within the club, but we were given an option to have an outside section... We choose outside as it was a beautiful July night. Again, YOLO being open with flexibility was great. There was not much to complain about with YOLO. When I had issues with them, I told them and they either told me how they would address it or why they could not do it. They are clear, at things blunt, but all and all fair. There were times when I felt communication could have been better, but I was such an early planning bride, I felt Kristen dealt with me the best that she could. If we had to do it again, I would still pick YOLO. They did a great job and we had a memorable wedding day. ***My only advise to couples considering this venue is 1) Being mindful if your photographer has done photos in dark settings. YOLO is dark with NO natural lighting. I liked this for our wedding, but had to be mindful to view the work of photographers that had worked in this setting. I think my photographer even went to YOLO to get a feel of the lighting. 2) Take down was not a part of the package, so make sure you plan accordingly or you/your wedding party will be completing this task.
