There were two individuals helping to direct parking which helped tremendously. The beautiful Zyntango Farm Barn is an authentic 1800's barn with modern amenities. It's an event venue for weddings, receptions, graduations, bridal showers, family reunions, corporate retreats and special events. It's located about 5 minutes from Whitestown on the NW side of Indy in the countryside. Just 3 miles off of I-65, one exit north of the Zionsville exit and less than 30 minutes from downtown Indy. The barn is two stories with a flight of stairs. I'm not sure of the barn capacity but I would think this is best for a small to medium size event. The free Holiday Market had approximately 18 - 20 vendors in attendance. Cork and Wine Barrel was there along with a jewelry artist, a tattoo artist and Fantasy face painter, chocolate and cookie makers, a candle maker, a variety of signs, a small boutique, a lap blanket quilter and an artist displaying her oil paintings. One of the vendors, Keepsakes By Design, does personalized itching in glass cookware which is perfect for our bakers in the family. A couple of small food and beverage vendors were onsite with BBQ sandwiches, hot chocolate and soda. I found several vendors that is perfect for hostess gifts and family Christmas presents. So glad we took the time to visit today.

Oh my goodness, this place is gorgeous... Talk about a breath taking venue, this is it. What you…read moresee from the street approaching does not prepare you for what actually awaits you. I was here for a bridal open house and the entire staff was wonderful from the moment I arrived. Parking was not an issue everything was handled in that area. The venue was showcased as an indoor outdoor attraction and I loved finding out the possibilities. You are able to rent the space for any occasion which I found awesome and many of the working relationships they have established to provide services are amazing. A sunset gathering here would be amaze balls. Just beautiful. If given the opportunity to check out the newly finished improvements made by all means do.

The staff was attentive, courteous, and welcoming throughout our stay. One of the most fun and unique features is the opportunity to stay in an actual train car. Such a cool experience and definitely something you don't find at most hotels! I also loved the beautiful white statues throughout the property and the thoughtful design details. The breakfast buffet was excellent, with a made-to-order omelet station plus two other egg options, along with plenty of other choices. Our bathroom also felt newly upgraded, and the shower had a great multi-setting showerhead. Overall, a beautiful, unique, and comfortable hotel with wonderful staff. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back!

I love nothing more than a unique venue with endless possibilities (bonus brownie points if it has…read morehistorical charm), so it's no surprise I fell head over heels in love with Grand Hall at Union Station when I attended a Creative Mornings talk. In the good ol' days, this is where travelers waited for their trains. It opened in 1888, and looking around you can sense the history and visualize a black and white photo of Union Station in its glory days. When train travel went by the wayside, Grand Hall was left abandoned and dilapidated until it was transformed into a shopping mall + food court in the 1980s. When Circle Center Mall opened up and stole the thunder, Grand Hall was remodeled to become the gorgeous event space it is today. This is a great example of a historical building that in many ways has remained the same but has changed its purpose to meet the needs of the time. A lovely venue for a large seminar, annual meeting, or wedding. I highly recommend you check out Union Station and also take a peek at the train car hotel rooms at the adjacent Crowne Plaza. Take a step back in time and reimagine Indy as the crossroads of the country - by train, that is!

We've kept coming back, however, because of the service and the staff. They are friendly, professional, attentive, and flexible - quick to meet any need and always aiming to go above and beyond. Weddings and parties are probably most of their business, but if you have a conference to organize, I can tell you they are great at that too. Having Santorini Catering located right there to provide the food and beverage is a major bonus.

Hmmm. I didn't include the food in my calculations since I'm assuming it is outside catering. The folks that catered this particular event were rude and their food was atrocious. The bar staff was also being odd. I was not drinking so I was offered a cup of soda. Not a can, not a garnish but a flat soda. When I mentioned there were no bubbles, I was told that's how it was made. What? Open a new can! Tadah. Once again was outside service or in house? Who knows? Here is where the ratings go down the toilet...literally. Guest bathrooms or shall I say outhouse. To expect elderly women to go up wobbly stairs to go to the bathroom is obnoxious especially if they are dressed up. It is also a liability. Pumping a toilet to get it to flush was so weird especially given the pristine surroundings. Grandmas deserve better! Show your guests some respect and at least allow an option for a nicer loo. (I guess it was good that I barely ate or drank because it limited my needs to go.) Loved the venue but I think they need to do more of the guests and not just the folks writing the checks. So I guess I'd say beautiful place for a wedding but the reception aspect needs to be revisited.

We were extremely pleased with Cindy's recommended vendors especially Catering by Jonathan Byrd's and our wedding coordinator Save The Day Sisters. I highly recommend this venue for a wedding!

The dining area is also huge and beautiful with two levels of serving. The contracted catering service did a very nice job. The parking lot is fairly small but there is available street parking in the surrounding neighborhood. Very nice place.

It felt like such an intimate experience! When you walk in, you get to walk past the stage area and can see all the candles and even though they're battery operated, it still makes the space look so cozy and inviting. Once we were seated, the musicians came out and played select pieces from many of the Miyazaki movies. The audience was respectful and quiet which really helped in a space like that to hear properly. The musicians performed so well and I'd love to come back for another show! The time goes by super fast (granted it's only about an hour).
