When I say that this was a last minute venue change, I mean it. We literally were without a space and Mark and Christy not only stepped up with the venue at a phenomenal price, but then handled the catering. Everyone was raving about the food. While getting married is a once in a lifetime experience, I will DEFINITELY be looking for opportunities to utilize this space again for parties, events and other things.

We had fun exploring the various rooms: red carpet for the step & repeat, cash bar, main room with round tables, bathroom, private spaces with long tables or rounds, the space for a buffet of heavy starters and desserts and lastly, a gorgeous space designed by Maker's Mark. We walked upstairs to check out their private suite area, made perfect for bridal parties. A large mirror for getting ready plus styling tables to do hair and make up. Per the owner, this may turn into an AirBNB option. The faculty is perfect for events or large party gatherings. They have TVs throughout the building and I loved watching the photo loop of the theater's pictures. We enjoyed the food on the menu, especially the meatballs and roast beef sandwiches. Add this space to your list for event rentals! They have made partnerships with nearby hotels.

The staff was incredibly accommodating and worked with my family on logistics, catering, bar options, parking and keeping the entire thing a surprise up until the moment I walked through the door. The venue itself was very clean, spacious and flexible. My favorite part about it was all the Kentucky derby memorabilia that fills the walls - it's like walking through a museum! I highly recommend using this venue for parties, receptions, showers or anything else you can think of.

The area is located in the Butchertown area where you are surrounded by other great restaurants, breweries/distilleries, boutiques, the arts, etc. The space is open & has the potential to be any kind of set up you want. We had hot & cold hors d'oeuvres, so I assume there were ways they were kept warm & cold between replenishments. The bathroom facilities were very neat & clean. The onsite staff were very inviting, social & professional.

I would recommend this place to anyone. Good coffee too.

Enter The Root--aka my new favorite place to feel like a productive, put-together entrepreneur . The decor? A+ vibes. It's giving Pinterest-worthy coworking goals with just the right amount of artsy coolness. The space feels so authentic to New Albany--like if your dream office and your favorite local coffee shop had a baby. They've got phone booths for private calls (so you don't have to whisper-yell on Zoom in a café), conference rooms for big boss meetings, and even event spaces if you're feeling fancy and want to host something. Oh, and did I mention the recording studio?? Podcasters, content creators, and people who love hearing their own voice--this one's for you ‍. Bottom line: If you're looking for a coworking space that's actually inspiring and not just "a table and Wi-Fi," The Root is it. Highly recommend. 12/10. Would move in if they let me. ‍

The rooms are gorgeous. We chose to stay in one of the regular rooms, and had plenty of space in the bedroom and bathroom for our things. There was also a really fun page with suggestions of things to do in the area. For food, it really was a great start to the day having a home cooked meal surrounded by the other guests. Everyone got along really well and it made us much more of a morning person to know we're starting our day with hearing stories of where the other guests are traveling to. This is definitely a place I'll be staying again. With the spacious room, beautiful decor, private overlook room and breakfast included, it was better than any boutique hotel we've stayed in previously.

We came at the last hour... just in time for a tour inside the mansion. Admission is $13 (but we qualified for the Seniors rate -- yay! best part in turning 60 LoL!) Our young tour guide was very knowledgeable and well-informed about the property. We started in the foyer and worked our way up to three stories, ending in the kitchen. The mansion is a French Second Empire-style structure and at the time of his death in 1892, Culbertson was one of Indiana's wealthiest men. Rooms that were shown to us included the FIRST FLOOR: Informal Parlor, Formal Dining Room, the Formal Parlor (which can be rented as an event space), Library. SECOND FLOOR: Morning Room, Daughter Blanche's Room, Daughter Anna's and her husband's Room, Dressing Room, Mrs Culbertson's Room, Mr Culbertson's Room (still under construction) and, yes, they each have separate rooms. THIRD FLOOR: Son, Samuel's Room, and across the hallway is another room under construction but has some exhibits and history material on display. From here we headed downstairs to the servant's quarters and finally the kitchen on the ground floor. Lastly... during Fall and Halloween season the Carriage House is transformed into a haunted house. They call this event the "House of Anguish." This is the primary fundraiser for the Culbertson Mansion. Review #3876

They are painstakingly attempting to match the vibrancy and elegance of the wealth William Culbertson possessed.

Nice guy, however, very stiff and not too friendly which was surprising because this is a family owned venue. I hope he was simply having an off day. Alexis, on the other hand, was amazing to work with! He's blessed to have her on his team. Although, the wedding was to take place in the outside garden, the weather didn't cooperate and it was moved to inside. Alexis did an amazing job with the turn around between the wedding and the reception. The parking lot isn't very large, but honestly for an average size wedding it's adequate. The highlight of this venue is the beautiful wood floors and the windows that seem to stretch from the floor to the ceiling. The balcony that surrounds the main hall is a wonderful setup. The owner is very particular on what vendors participate in any wedding at the Calumet Club, so be sure to have all your vendors checked out and approved by the owner before booking them.

Food was served by a very nice and accommodating staff. The food (baked chicken, green beans, mashed potatoes and a cool salad. For dessert, we had two types of delectable, tasty treats: succulent chocolate cake and bourbon bread pudding. I was really surprised by the flavor of the food. Normally, the food at these types of venues is not flavorful, or tasty and even the texture of the food is not good. Imagine my surprise at delightful, savory nature of the food. I wanted to gorge myself, but decided against it. Anyway, this atmosphere is a nice space for small-to-medium-sized party. There is plenty of parking around the venue in their private parking lot and on the surrounding street. I really enjoyed my visit.

You arrive to this area after a tour. Alternately, you can request to be put on a list to visit this area from the gift shop.

The gift shop bar was pouring samples of one spirit during our wait (not of your choosing, more of a "this is what we're pouring today" situation) which was appreciated. The gift shop itself is really lovely, so that can help burn a little time as well. Last call was at 4pm if I remember correctly, which is fairly standard for distilleries in KY.
