Our…read morewedding day was everything we dreamed it would be, and having her and her team by our side made such a huge difference. From the very beginning, she listened to what we wanted, understood our vision, and handled every detail exactly how we asked, and then somehow went above and beyond that. She made us feel heard, supported, and completely taken care of throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, we were able to truly be present and soak in every moment because we knew everything was in her hands. But what made our experience even more special was having her officiate our ceremony. We knew she would do a beautiful job, but she made it so incredibly personal and heartfelt. It was one of the most emotional and beautiful parts of our entire day, and having someone who had been there throughout our wedding journey be the person to marry us made it that much more meaningful. Truly, the icing on the cake. We will forever be grateful for everything she and her team did for us. She didn't just help plan our wedding, she helped create memories that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives. We could not speak more highly of her, her team, and the care they put into what they do. If you're looking for a wedding planner who will genuinely care about you, your vision, and your experience, look no further. We feel incredibly lucky that she was part of our wedding story.

There is a lot of natural light which is nice. I think the space may have been sectioned off so I couldn't quite get a sense of the entire venue. It's pretty from what I did see and a nice place to host an event.

We came on a Friday and although it was busy, it was overall easy to find a parking spot and table. A lot of people bring their own chairs or blankets which could be helpful in the future When we came, there were a lot of food trucks to choose to so can't speak on the food at urban apples, but their ciders were tasty! I got a flight and enjoyed trying different flavors. I wasn't a huge fan of their "regular" cider but I enjoyed the raspberry one and mixed berry. The cinnamon one was also tasty! There is a huge outdoor area and our kids loved playing in the open field and going down the tunnel slides. There's also a play area and other things we want to check out the next time we come. Definitely a fun spot to hang out with the family!

It's probably not surprising that Coxhall Mansion is within the Coxhall Gardens location in Carmel…read more Both are event venues exclusive to Ritz Charles, though they fall under the Hamilton County Parks leadership. I stumbled across it today while out driving around and waiting for an event I was attending. The mansion is a historic mansion that was inspired by the Governor's Mansion in Williamsburg, VA. It has multiple options for several events and has been updated by Hamilton County Parks. From the looks of things, those updates continue to be implemented. As a historic mansion, accessibility isn't perfect. Things have been made as accessible as possible - Hamilton County, in general, tries to do that. Event space on the main floor has space for 80 people for a sit-down event. If the patio is included, you could have 100 sit-down or 120 standing. There's also a third-floor music room that has space for 40 sit-down. If you need a larger space, Coxhall Gardens has several other options including an amphitheatre. It's super weird to think that this was a home. The land started with the John Williams family (No, not the Star Wars composer). They were early Hamilton County settlers and moved here in 1855. 10 years later, they built the Victorian home that still stands. Bricks were even made on-site. In 1958, a 40-year-old Jesse Cox and his wife would make a bid on the property - it was initially denied, however, a year later the property was still for sale. Finally, they were able to acquire it. In 1999, they donated it to Hamilton County Parks. Due to its historic nature, the mansion is often viewed separately from the rest of the gardens. This entire complex is pretty mesmerizing, however, Carmel has a long history of weaving together luxury, history, and practicality and this mansion is a great example.

As others have mentioned, there truly is not a bad seat in the house. I came here with a friend to watch a medical themed mystery written by a local cardiologist, and we were even able to chat with him during intermission. The friendly gentleman manning the refreshment counter gave us a bit of background on several of the many cat pieces he'd procured to decorate the building. I can't wait to catch another performance here!

Both visits were to see the plays of a favorite local playwright and fiction writer, Dr. L. Jan Eira. Last year we enjoyed STAY SMALL. This time it was a thriller called AMBUSH that stayed intense to the very end. It made me jump and a monologue from male lead made my wife tear up. It makes me feel so blessed to have such talented actors, actresses, directors and playwrights here in central Indiana. The theater is cozy and seats about 150. Every seat is a premium seat and draws you into the action on stage. Refreshments are available before and during intermission. Set within a short walk of many numerous restaurants and pubs, it a great date suggestion.

They source wine from Napa, Sonoma, or Lake counties and have a selection that should cover ever palate....maybe not the hardcore Indiana sweet fruit wines but anything outside that is covered. We stopped in for a glass and sole chill time on the patio. Ive seen it busy but on a Saturday night there was lo problem finding a table. They schedule live music on the back patio. Think local musicians with a guitar singing solo for tips. It gives a great low key vibe. The server/bartenders are well versed in their wines and can help guide decisions if needed. I think they are incredibly positive which is always appreciated and keeps with the shops over arching theme. We will keep coming back.
