We had heard about it from a friend and wanted to check out their all day crafting event. It was amazing! The spot is a renovated old pub now turned craft/music/hang out room geared toward events for the community. As we walked it the hallway opened up to the big room with various crafts happening at each table. The walls are a really fun brick with various unusual Decour and light atmosphere. It has the vibe of a very cool coffee shop or funky music venue. There is a Bar area where they often have snacks and Echo Effect items for sale Like T-shirts etc. We had reserved a space through Facebook Messenger ahead of time and thus went straight to the painting area. The event was relatively priced for the fun atmosphere and painting class we received. The teacher Dawn Adams did an amazing job taking her time to interact with everyone and giving us multiple options for each step. It was really relaxed so we were able to get up and get snacks go to the bathroom and come in and out during the training. They had stain glass, jewelry making, quilting and other things going on at different tables which was fun to check out as well. It was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon and we will definitely return. The best way to check out options is to go to their Facebook page and look at upcoming events. Next time will probably check out one of the cool new Shelbyville food spots to round out the event.

The venue is in a small town, so there aren't many choices, but I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. I have never been to an event here before. The outside lighting was never turned on. The only lights in the parking were street lights. The food was okay..Not horrible, but not good either. The fried chicken was way too salty, and I normally love salty food. The mashed potatoes and white chicken gravy was very good. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful. The woman bartender was not so much. The male bartender was nice & friendly. The woman was rude and not helpful at all. She told me not very nice things about the clients which is very un-business like. The family provided beer and wine and soft drinks. The cash bar was way over priced. I have gone to many events at the Casino/Racetrack, and they don't charge nearly as much for drinks as this place. $7 for a very small rum and coke. and $5 for a half glass of cheap white Zinfandel.

The menu is simple, but has enough variety for most all tastes. We started with coffee, designer style for the Christmas holiday. Both were crafted with care and delicious. Our main order consisted of a full order B & G, and a biscuit sandwich consisting of bacon, egg, and cheese. Both items were prepared fresh and delivered to our table in short order. The biscuits and gravy had a wonderful taste, perfectly seasoned and proportion. The sandwich was also a tasty treat, noting the bacon cooked to a crispy perfection! Shout out for the biscuits! Flaky and wonderful! Overall, a wonderful breakfast and delightful atmosphere. I highly recommend a visit if you're in the area.

Jeff, Brad and Christina were always available to answer any questions we had leading up until our day. They went above and beyond to assist with unexpected needs and were always around to orchestrate the entire day/evening. Jeff even pulled me aside during the reception to give me a heads up that the sun was setting and the clouds were turning a pretty pink... I was able to grab the photographer just in time! We are more than pleased with how well everything turned out and our guests loved the place! While its a bit off the grid and out in the country, it's perfect for those looking for a peaceful place that almost has a destination feel to the event without the cost of a destination wedding. We used Nameless Catering for the food and did their BBQ option. Also an excellent choice and they know their way around the venue well. As far as accommodations in Shelbyville go, I would strongly recommend the Holiday Inn. Even though its on the pricey side for the area, its the cleanest and their breakfast buffet is outstanding! I had family that stayed across the road at the Comfort Inn and the place smelled funky and the breakfast was very basic and not fresh.

I had the privilege recently of being a guest at my best friend's wedding held here and I wanted to share my thoughts. This venue is absolutely beautiful. The owners are more than flexible when it comes to satisfying the bride and groom's needs not only leading up to the wedding, but also the day of. I know how important it was for the bride to have an intimate ceremony and they were able to accommodate by offering a quaint area near the creek for a much more quiet and romantic moment. I specifically remember during the ceremony that there was a light breeze during the vows and everything was so calm and gorgeous as the leaves in the trees blew quietly. UGH so beautiful! After the short, perfect ceremony, we went into the main barn onsite for the reception. Everything was set up perfectly and the owners and coordinator made sure everything was to the newlyweds liking. I don't think I saw them rest all night! The grounds are manicured to perfection and I know they spray for mosquitoes quite often as well. I believe they are open to working with numerous vendors and are very communicative during the process as you plan your wedding. I know that I accompanied the bride to the venue a few times in the months leading up to the wedding for her to get a better look for decor as well as checking out the bridal suite. You guys...this bridal suite area that they've provided is to die for. A full length (more like floor-to-ceiling) mirror that they have for the bride and bridal party is more than enough along with individual makeup stations so that each gal has her own space. There's a couch as well as private Wifi info available. The bridal suite along with the groomsmen suite is air conditioned and comes with a private bathroom with shower so that you can get ready and take your time if you want to. They have everything you need for a perfect wedding/event and your guests will notice the extra care that's been put in to the venue. But you do have to hurry, they book up fast! :)

Then Ms. Meal felt it necessary to call the bride the morning of the wedding and make changes to the plans that were in the contract. Then Ms. Meal made false and defamatory accusations against our catering staff and made them very uncomfortable. At approximately 1 hour before the wedding Mr. Meal found it necessary to approach me and discuss the issues his wife created and informed me there would be extra charges. After talking with other venues after this debacle we were informed this is a normal thing for Honey Creek Haven and others like them. My suggestion for anyone seriously considering this place make sure you dot your "I's" and cross your "T's", their contract is very vague and they use this to try and make extra money on you. Have to give them a thumbs down . And for all the nay sayers I have the proof to back up my accusations. Feel free to reach out and I will give details and proof if desired. As for the end My daughter had the wedding day she desired but as for me, the father of the bride, it was a horrible day for me and I did not enjoy it at all. Thanks Honey Creek Haven!
