She also edit them so they are nice and pretty. It's hard for me and my fiancé to take photos being that she is Latina and I'm black. However, she made the pictures come out so nice and we love them. We are sad she moved to a different state, but if you are looking for a great photographer she is the one. Very reasonable price and very easy to work with! I will post a photo from our mini shoot that we got.

Velocity Sound really made our event an event. We did not know if we really needed a DJ for our…read morewedding, but realized after some research, that a DJ was a must. Music added the extra push for the last few hours of the party that would not exist if it were not for Velocity. Evan Ledman was our DJ and was able to make a personal connection with my wife and I before/during our wedding. A personal connection is something you want when planning your special event because it is all about what you want for your special day/event. Velocity/Evan was able to do so with ease. Our wedding was easily the hottest day of the year, but you would not be able to guess that while looking at our DJ's (Bob Forseman and Evan Ledman). From the first time my wife and I met with the two of them, we realized that Velocity was going to make our party a real event. Even though dinner was outside in the 100* heat, Evan made sure that we had what we needed to make any sort of toasts or announcements. He assisted with the timing with our caterer (Shoup's) so that everything went as planned. Evan worked with my wife and I so that we were able to keep everything on point with our schedule. Before he did anything, he made sure that we were in the right place and ready for the next thing. All th way to the last song, our event was incredible. The dance floor was constantly packed, and if there was a song that was playing that we did not want to hear, we were able to ask Evan and Bob to skip it, and they made a smooth transition into a new song. The lighting was phenomenal. Needless to say, our wedding was a hit and it was partly because of the planning and dudiligence of Velocity Sound. Highly recommended!!!

Long review but worth the read if you are considering this venue…read more We got married at the Parish House on April 5th, 2025, and while the venue itself is beautiful, the overall experience was unbelievably frustrating. We signed the contract in February 2024, but communication was limited until October 2024. After reaching out, we had a good meeting with Lee and got some things sorted, like the food tasting. The food tasting went well, and they even allowed us to submit our own pork recipe that would be used as a dinner option. There were delays in getting the seating chart and flower arrangements finalized. By delayed, I mean that we did not talk about flowers until about 2 weeks before the wedding and did not receive a seating chart until the week of my wedding after asking multiple times. When I finally got a flower quote two weeks before the wedding, it was completely off from what my wife and I wanted. Despite multiple requests, the flowers she didn't want were ordered, and we ended up handling the flowers ourselves the day before the wedding. Patty was not happy about this and was difficult to communicate with about options. It came down to us doing the flowers or not having flowers, and Patty wanted things her way, not our way. At the rehearsal, everything seemed rushed, and everything we communicated that day was not executed as promised on the wedding day. On the wedding day, the venue doors were locked when my wifes bridal party arrived, and the flower arch we asked to be removed was still up. The ceremony didn't go as planned either. The music for the recessional didn't start when it was supposed to, and it felt awkward kissing then walking down most of the aisle in silence. Patty also threw a fit when it came to accommodations for my mom, insisting on putting her accessible chair on the wrong side of the aisle than what we had requested. Then, an hour before dinner, Patty told my wife the pork recipe had been changed, despite saying earlier at the food tasting and in a messge a week before the wedding they'd follow our exact recipe. She also got upset and yelled at a guest in front of others when they brought in alcohol as a wedding gift, yelling at them that they could lose their liquor license as if my guest would've known that. Patty spoke badly about my wife to her MOH a couple different times both at the rehearsal and during the wedding day saying that she was hard to please when all we asked for was the bare minimum. Such as expecting the correct flowers to be quoted and the arch to be taken down as communicated before the wedding day. While Lee was great and tried to help he was very hard to find, Patty's behavior made the whole experience a lot more stressful than it needed to be. If we had worked with the original planner or Keira (the day of planner), things would've been much smoother. The venue itself is gorgeous, but the lack of communication and unprofessional attitude from Patty make it hard to recommend. I hope that for future couples they spend the money to hire help on their team so that those people feel like a priority for planning and on the biggest day of their lives because we surely did not. If you choose this venue, just be prepared to stay on top of everything and hold them accountable. Expect things to not go the way YOU wanted.

Beautiful small town event center, this is quaint simple old-fashioned atmosphere and high ceiling…read moremain assembly room glowing with huge stained glass, noticed bathrooms were quite small and lacking accomodations. We had my cousin's wedding here which overflowed to near two hundred guests and packed the small dining area. Cannot recommend for larger groups, doubt this is inviting or easy to enjoy with more than a hundred; crazy that I have forty cousins just on my mom's side, the reception dinner was noise bursting all over. I did notice everything was clean and chairs comfortable. Catering matched well and worked with the groom's and family ideas. This is an excellent alternative to the typically expensive Lafayette options, plenty of parking, broad appeal, and accessible location.

Not to mention, the price is the most reasonable we found with all of the extras it included! We booked our wedding here back in December after viewing 9 other venues and knew immediately this was the one! Tina has been absolutely fantastic so far with communication and accommodations. I also attended a free Bridal Show here, back in March, with some of my bridesmaids & family. It was gorgeous and so helpful (and had some great precautions set up for covid!) I can't wait to marry my favorite human at this beautiful place in June of 2022. I'll be sure to come back after to add to my review once our big day is over!

Everything about this place was incredible. Over a year later and we still receive compliments. Vanessa was the best. She answered all of my questions (including my crazy bride questions) within MINUTES of emailing her. She even provided her personal cell number in order to keep my nerves at bay as we got closer. She was there throughout my day coordinating everything but was never in the way and was definitely "behind the scenes". She deserves a LOT of credit for how flawless my wedding was. Hidden Hollow also provided linens, tables and chairs, and SO many decorations. We saved thousands by using their supplies. They have kept things that previous brides have left which is a huge help. The dressing rooms they provide were incredible. A lot of room, the ability to go outside without anyone seeing you, and beautifully decorated for perfect "getting ready" pictures. Honestly, I still to this day am shocked for how much we got and how little we spent. We live on the south side of Indianapolis and I can pretty much guarantee you will NOT get half of what Hidden Hollow offers for anywhere near their price in Indianapolis. I can't say enough about Hidden Hollow and RAVE about them to every Indy bride I come across. Highly highly recommend. Thanks Hidden Hollow for making my wedding what it was!
