I had never heard of this place before but if you are having an event and want an outdoor rustic…read morefeel......look no further! This place is easily dressed up or dressed down depending on what type of style or theme you are going for. It's only about an hour north of Indianapolis, and honestly not too bad of a drive. The land the barn sits on is HUGE and private giving you the feel if having your own private party. The barn is nice and spacious and comfortably holds a solid 80 people with lots of space for a dance floor. From what I could tell you're able to bring your own decorations but the barn already has gorgeous lights hanging from the ceiling (sorry forgot to grab a pic) which provide LOTS of lighting. The staff was very helpful and from what I was able to gather possibly all related! I know the places is family owned! They were all so nice! The bartender made us (my friends and i) a drink called "tooti fruity" and it did not disappoint! It was by far once of the best mixed drinks I ever had. They barn also had a mirror photo booth....if you have never experienced one......they're amazing! It's a big mirror about 7 ft tall, you press the screen, it counts down, and you take a picture. The best part is you type in you cell phone number and it texts you! If you're looking for an exclusive feeling place to hold your next event........look into this place!

The venue was both comfortable and fancy but not at all overdone. The biggest part for me as the principal and for the children was that they have a Donut Wall! You heard that correctly, a Donut Wall! I would without hesitation come back to this venue - nice people and a great spot for both indoor and outdoor photos. Many memories were made at our event and the people and venue had a lot to do with this.

Unfortunately, there seems to be a lack of Lenten fish fry's in Central Indiana. Fortunately, St…read more Mary's Catholic Church provides use of their Gruber Hall to host an AYCE fish fry every Friday during Lent. For a modest price, you can get abundant fish, coleslaw, and lemonade/water/tea. Desserts are provided by charitable local women. Their homemade desserts vary in type and quantity each week. Arrive early to get the best selection. You will also want to consider arriving early as the venue gets crowded during peak hours.

Reservations were simple to make online. We were greeted with a menu and an excellent wine and cocktail list. With very few other diners, we were treated to the best seat in the house with a view of flowering spring trees through neogothic windows. Another couple was enjoying a glass of wine on the porch, while another was exploring the interior of this fantastic Victorian mansion. Service and ambience were both amazing thoughout -- this is truly a unique dining experience. We had the langoustine cakes and the soup of the day, both great starts bursting with flavor and texture. We had the hangar steak and pork chop for entrees, paired with a well structured Zinfandel. The pork chop was particularly outstanding, owing both to the quality of the ingredient and expert preparation, paired with just-sweet enough parsnip puree, rainbow carrots, blistered grapes, and carmelized onion. The hangar steak was impeccably presented, cooked to temperature, and most important, a very delicious cut of well aged beef. For dessert we had a lemon-lavender mousse bombe, again as well presented as it was delicious. The tart lemon pop rocks on top were tge perfect touch and sheer nostalgic pleasure. We finished our evening with a self tour of the mansion, and carried home half of our amply portioned meals to enjoy as leftovers. Lafayette's best kept secret. Meals as memorable as the historic setting.
