The Lodge at River Valley Farm

g at several others all over Indiana, that The Lodge was it! It has the perfect mix of rustic, farmhouse charm and elegance. From the barn pillars, to the gorgeous fireplace, how could you not fall in love? On top of that, the outdoor ceremony area is incredible. We needed a handicap accessible venue for my grandmother and not only is inside fit, but there's a pathway all the way to the pergola so she didn't have any problems. Which also helped for the ladies in heels! I also chose to stay in the farmhouse on the property the night before with my bridesmaids. (which is so perfect considering all but one were from out of town anyways!) The house is so cozy and inviting. It was great to just wake up there and get ready. We were able to run over and finishing decorating while the others were getting makeup and hair done and switch. It was also super convenient for the guys to have their own area out back. Far enough way they couldn't really see us, but close enough for our ring bearer and flower girl to run back and forth between parents. Now for the staff! I can't even begin to explain how incredible these people are. From the one hundred million questions and emails I sent that were always answered immediately to letting us come to the venue so many times for even the littlest of details, I can't say enough. Anna always had the biggest smile whenever you were around her and was such a big help through the whole process. Even helping light/turn on candles the day of the wedding. She helped us down to every detail. It's also so awesome to have been able to borrow some of the venues props, this definitely saved us some money in the long run. I'm beyond grateful we found such an tremendous venue and staff to help us make our day perfect!

ceremony spaces, made for the perfect day. Brooke and her team were very organized and prepared as we walked through the many details leading up to our big day. They offered great flexibility, helpful suggestions & quick responses to all of our questions throughout the process. As a part of the package, the Lodge offers a catalog of items to use (decor, centerpieces, catering materials, etc.) FREE of charge. We took full advantage of this and were able to have our dream look without breaking the bank. The groom's cabin was recently renovated and is located just down the hill from the bridal house. The space is very nice, but a little cramped for our large wedding party with ten groomsmen plus family. The bridal house offered more than enough space to get ready and even has a separate space for stylists to setup for hair and makeup. Our reception was a dream come true with the white drapery, fireplace, and outdoor patio. We can't thank the Lodge enough for everything they did to help make our day so special!

for dacor and table arrangements. They saved us a bundle and I don't have a basement full of decorations that I will never use again. LOL I am so grateful for everything that they did for me and highly highly recommend everyone that is planning a party or their big day, check out The Lodge!

was open to any questions throughout the wedding planning process and helped us through it smoothly. My bridesmaids and I also used the 'Slumber Party' option and stayed in the farmhouse the night before our wedding. We appreciated the beautiful setting for our wonderful day!
