What an elegant, classy, rustic venue…read more I'm a sucker for red barns (check out Rail Epicurean if you love them too) and this fit the bill with silo, hay bales, gravel drive, and a wooden porch out front. Not to mention large wooden red barn doors to complete the look! But then the inside. Purely enchanting! For a party I attended, they decked the place out in string lights and wrapped them on the banister and I'm pretty sure I walked into a twinkling piece of heaven. Holy moly, this place is simply stunning and elegant with a rustic feel! It very comfortably held 100 people and could probably fit more. I didn't want to leave at the end of the night it was so dreamy. Other notes: -Parking available at adjacent church - short walk for guests, or AWB has golf carts -Elevated stage perfect for entertainment -Bathrooms located right off the main floor -Owners are extremely nice and accommodating - ask them to tell you the story of their biz! -Not sure how wheelchair friendly it is - guests had to walk up some steps to enter, and it's a gravel drive

I love that there were different areas for photo opps spread throughout the space. The space itself is roomy and of a generous size. There's plenty of room for a small wedding, or a good sized party. You have access to in-house bar & restroom facilities, and of course the perfect Hotel Tango cocktails. If you're looking for an undiscovered, rustic event space - definitely give it a look.

I attended a blindfolded dinner here a few months ago, so obviously I have no photos of the food :D…read more The experience was unique and the food was amazing. The flavors were incredible; I think being blindfolded help emphasize those... I will say I wasn't quite as into the blindfolded part as I thought I would be. I kept wanting to peek and take it off. I think I would probably enjoy a dining in the dark experience a little more since having something on my face, while eating, wasn't my favorite sensory experience, but that's just personal preference. Overall the whole evening was memorable. The food, the atmosphere, and especially the views made it special. They have one of the best views of the monument!

I think in terms of the provisions by the Club, everything was covered well enough. They had catered meals for us that were fine, and it looks like there's a restaurant up there for other patrons. My only complaint was that there wasn't anything to indicate where to put used dishware that I was done with. The views here are really cool, being able to see the monument and Lucas Oil stadium from above. This definitely makes for a cool event space.

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.

It was nice to go to a nice venue without having to go way out from Indy. Most venues I have been traveling either far west or far east or downtown from me which means a 20-30 minute drive. With the recent snow and cold, I appreciated The Spotlight Event Center being ultra convenient. The is a raised stage area made of one step with spotlight and in the daytime sunlight comes through nicely. There seems to be plenty of space for it seems up to 100 people. The event that I was at had about 50 people and we were not crowded in. There is one bathroom with a changing table, a bar sink area but I didn't see a refrigerator or stove if you need to keep food/beverages cold or heat food up. I can see the space being used for an intimate wedding, engagement party, bridal or baby shower easily. Since The Spotlight Event Center is in the shopping strip where Blind Owl brewery, Peak Performance, etc there is plenty of space for parking. I cannot review pricing since I didn't book this event, or other contractual details. I am definitely going to keep The Spotlight Event Center in mind as a venue if I need a space for an event.

It's no secret that I'm a fan of CoHatch, a 30+ location network of co-working, community spaces…read morethat has been in existence for just under 10 years since its start by six friends in Columbus, Ohio. CoHatch, which has hosted at least a couple Yelp events that I can remember, currently has five locations in Central Indiana (a sixth, Circle Centre, I believe has closed). The locations include Polk Stables, Zionsville, Carmel, Noblesville, and this location in Broad Ripple. This location is housed in a former church (I know it used to be Common Grounds and I'm pretty certain it was at least one church before that). There's still some of the stained glass windows present. Managed by Jenna, whom I met during a Polk Stables Yelp event, this location seems to be quite busy. While I didn't get a chance to go around it as much as I'd have liked as I was here for an actual meeting, I was impressed with the decor, amenities, the people I met, and the efforts to make it accessible. Let's start there. Not every CoHatch location is truly accessible - they tend to locate in unique and often historic buildings. This can create challenges to true accessibility. This location has accessible parking in the back along with a ramp that goes up to one of the doorways. If you're not a member, you'll have to be let in. I wasn't completely thrilled with the end of the ramp - it's got a bit of a lip to it, however, the effort is obvious and it definitely works. The parking is also truly ADA compliant. I didn't notice all the businesses here, however, I did note that the Sagamore Institute maintains offices here. This location has the usual coworking spaces, a large event space, an outdoor area with a patio and kitchen, a sports simulator, and private offices. They have high-speed Wifi, coffee/tea options, meeting rooms (we used one to record an interview), 24/7 access, phone booths, office supplies, mailbox service, printing/copying, workshops for members, a kitchen, and an onsite manager. The neighborhood feels safe and is a pretty easy jaunt over to Broad Ripple's main strip. I like the decor, though found it a bit more plain than some of the locations. I think Polk Stables remains my favorite of the Central Indiana locations. This location is probably the closest to my home and it's definitely someplace I could see myself working. As someone who does a lot of social outreach/charity work, I definitely saw spaces I could bring to life here. I also did notice the restroom offered nice accessibility and there were some personal supplies in the restrooms - nice touch. I'd wanted to stop into this place and was pleased when I found out a meeting was going to be here. I finally got to check it out and was definitely impressed.

I had a meeting in Broad Ripple and they recommended this location. It was easy to find and had…read moreample parking, and I was surprised and pleased to find it was a church building that was converted into co work office space for small businesses and non-profits. I liked that they had maintained the structure and tried to continue the architectural flairs and quiet spaces yet allowing for new design inside. It is used for various offices and you can either rent out an office space (small cubicle) or just work in one of the many co-work spaces. It was tasteful and expansive but also had several little nooks for a quieter space. There were outside spaces and even a Barbeque space that could be rented for parties or business outings. My meeting was a fun way to be exposed to this location and will definitely be returning to try out some of the other spots for meetings or work.
