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.

Thank you to Pipers for an incredible evening!…read more My now husband and I got married at Pipers at the Marott on New Year's Eve 2022. Pipers at the Marott was not even on my radar, when initially searching for venues for a wedding. I was looking for something upscale, classy, and looked vintage. I recently moved to Indianapolis and happen to be driving by one day. I noticed that this beautiful, twin brick building mentioned it provided catering services and had to inquire. Pipers had everything I was looking for, and the best part of it all, it came with Ashley, the sales & catering manager. She really was incredible. She was very fast to respond to all emails I sent and helped me through the (very emotional) process of planning my own wedding. With her help, I felt confident that I didn't need to hire a full-time planner because she was so on top of it. Pipers has in-house catering, the venue, service, and will provide dessert. After viewing the gorgeous face, I knew it was perfect for our party. Thank you again, and I hope this review helps future brides make their decision!

*** This city owned venue is managed by the Wellington of Fishers owned by Cami.**…read moreI encourage you to do your research and read all the Google reviews on this business. Working with Cami and The Wellington pushed us over the edge and this was the worst service industry experience ever making a trip to the BMV look like a dream vacation in comparison. We share so others may not fall victim to these horrific and unethical business practices. We also want to share that we would not be writing this review had Cami, the owner of The Wellington, taken ownership for her mistakes, tried to make them right or apologized to us at all during the process. Working with Cami was an absolute nightmare from day 1. Once planning started, all of our meetings we had to setup ourselves and had to press to get them scheduled. Cami would not respond for days and weeks on end. On one occasion She canceled a meeting the day-of citing it was too cold outside and she "wore the wrong shoes for the conditions today". My wife called her after receiving the email stating the cancelation to inquire why as she had taken off work to attend and Cami brought my wife to tears interrupting her and berating her for even questioning her last minute cancelation. On multiple occasions Cami refused to answer simple questions or take ownership for her mistakes, engaged in shouting matches with us (her customers), was very hostile, confrontational and blamed us for her mistakes.During ALL of our meetings Cami was incredibly disorganized. It seemed as if she was taking notes, but when we would receive our proposals, nothing we talked about in the meetings was ever reflected. Because of her lack of detail, we were tasked to track it all ourselves, as we could not trust her to pay attention and make sure things would be taken care of. As a result, over a period of several months, it took 7 proposals for Cami to get everything correct. We can assure you, this was not because we changed our minds so many times. It got to the point where Cami suggested we come in to hash everything out. We were skeptical of this initially as we wanted to keep all communication via email. Again, Cami exhibited her lack of communication skills by not replying for days and sometimes even weeks. She would create multiple email chains, not 'reply all' and not answer all of our questions, which in turn would cause confusion, leaving us no choice but to meet in person to work everything out. We requested one email chain and her to 'reply all' so that all parties could be kept in the loop, but she could not follow these simple requests. The day-of the wedding it was apparent that Cami Did not not take notes, or write anything down we had given her or sent her as she had no idea where our cards and gifts table or guest tables went or what time anything was happening. By not reviewing or printing off these items, she asked our set up team multiple questions throughout the day, our DJ could never find her to ensure the buffet was ready for him to release tables for dinner, our cutting cake wasn't put on the floor and our bridal party had to run it out right before grand entrances, and we had to personally find her to get the bottle of champagne we purchased for our toast. Because she could never be found, our timeline was delayed as a result. Had she prepared and printed the documents beforehand, this could all have been avoided. After the wedding, several of our guests mentioned that the servers were extremely rude. We witnessed one of the servers walking by a guest, bumping into her and knocking her water glass out of her hand. The server did not stop to apologize, clearing knowing what she had done, even after we yelled out. At the end of the day, our wedding reception went okay. However, reflecting on the last several months, we feel as though we were robbed of the joy of planning our wedding due to Cami. She is untrustworthy, unethical, defensive, and unapologetic to her customers. It's unfortunate we write this review, but this is our story and we hope by sharing it in detail we can spare others from being robbed of the joys that come with planning for their special day

I had the pleasure of attending my good friend's wedding yesterday. May 21, 2016. It was a really…read morenice wedding. The wedding was held at Adaggio's Banquet Hall in Greenfield, IN. The parking lot is pretty spacious. The entry point is nice, and suitable for your traditional wedding. The only thing I have to say, of which I should have taken a picture of, was that I didn't care for the ceiling. The ceiling was black, and I mean PITCH black! You would have to have some other type of decorative lighting, which they did, in order to provide an elegant atmosphere to your wedding. The actual banquet hall itself where the reception was held was exactly how it should have been. The lighting was exceptional, and the flooring was nice as well, although I feel there could have been more dance floor space because you know people like to boogie or shake that booty, ya know?....lol. All in all, if you have a wedding that is light featured, then I would choose Adaggio's specifically for that reason alone, but also because you can have a really nice reception just across the hall. It was a nice day, and I would recommend anyone ready to tie the knot, to go to Adaggio's in Greenfield, IN @ 5999 Memory Lane...It won't be forgettable!!

When my now-husband and I first started planning our wedding, neither of us wanted a traditional…read morereception hall. That is, until we realized the time and expense needed to transform a nontraditional venue into one suitable for a reception. A couple at a random dinner tasting steered us to Adaggios and I'm so glad we did. They offer a per-person pricing model, which included dinner, basic linens, basic beverages and the DJ. Really, all we needed was the cake, although we chose to upgrade the bar package through the venue and then added more decorations and chair covers through our wedding planner. Bottom line, weddings are expensive. But in the end, we heard nothing but compliments and it looked really nice -- and personalized to our taste. I was concerned about it being outside of the 465 loop but, really, it was a 20 minute drive from our ceremony at the State House and really easy to find. Thanks to their arrangements with local hotels, we had a great rate AND a free ride to/from the ceremony in the hotel shuttle van. Not the most glamorous ride but every penny counts!

I loved the whole atmosphere of the place and thought it was a perfect fit for a baby shower that didn't have to involve the typical games. It created more of an "out to tea" setting and was a great change. I highly recommend this place for events like that.

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.
