The size of these gardens are amazing and the time it takes to walk them took my family and I nearly two hours. It is a relaxing place to visit if you want some time away to read, write, or think.

Very nice county fair. I believe it's rated the 2nd best county fair in the country. The grounds…read moreare very well maintained and clean. The grandstand made a nice venue for the concert. There was a wide selection of food vendors and exhibits. There is a large amount of parking, which seemed like a daunting walk to the gate, but they had shuttles running regularly with very little waiting. There was a long wait to get inside. It seemed as though they needed more people to take payment for entry. Also, leaving at the end of the night, causes quite a traffic jam in getting out and away from the fairgrounds.

Barn wedding anyone?!…read more What a beautiful and well kept venue. The main barn is rustic yet charming and the adjacent outdoor patio is large and welcoming. The landscaping surrounding the venue is well maintained and offers an additional option for hosting your party. We came here to see the venue for my brother and his fiancee's wedding next summer. The place just invites many ideas to form in regards to having a beautiful and unforgettable wedding. 5 stars for the venue itself. And this is without the decorations, food, and entertainment! If you book this place here for your party, they supply the chairs, tables, and decor. They also have suggested caterers to provide the food for your party. The main barn is also heated and air conditioned depending on the time of year that you book! I'll give you guys an updated review in June 2018 after the wedding. Can't wait!

I attended one of the most beautiful weddings this past week at the Blissful Barn. The venue is…read moremagical. From the moment I stepped out of my car and started walking towards the barn, I knew it was going to be special. The landscaping is breathtaking. The wedding was held outside and luckily the weather was perfect. Afterwards, the appetizers were served on the deck. The bar is inside this beautiful barn. Everything was truly authentic from the tables, to the place settings, to the uniquely furnished bathrooms. They opened up the large barn doors to let the fresh air move throughout the space. The food was very good. It was set up out on the deck as a buffet. Outside in the garden area, games were set up for the guests to play and there was dancing on the deck. A beautiful wedding, at a beautiful location, with a beautiful couple!

After visiting the other half dozen venues in Michiana that can accommodate up to 250 people, we…read moreimmediately fell in love with the South Bend Country Club (SBCC) as our wedding reception venue. I'm definitely not a city person, so anything downtown felt too industrial and cold for me. Hotel ballrooms were fine, but they'd take a lot of lights and decor to ensure the event felt like a wedding, not a conference or business meeting. All the other country clubs we checked out were old, worn, stuffy, or much too cramped for a party our size. The SBCC was perfect - the simple and elegant decor felt warm and welcoming and the high ceilings and oversized windows made the venue feel open and inviting. The drive to the club from downtown South Bend is a scenic 25 minute venture through wooded regions and grassy clearings. The roads are plowed & salted in the winter (January wedding), making transport to the venue a smooth, albeit a bit long, journey. Upon arrival, you'll notice the grounds and exterior structure are well looked after, with plenty of ideal areas, both indoor and outdoor, for pictures. There's a curved stairwell and massive fireplace indoors, classy covered porches, and a number of nearby grassy spaces overlooking the scenic lakes in the distance. You wouldn't be able to tell it's a golf course from the pictures! Furthermore, the oversized double door entrance with a wide foyer provides a warm welcome and the long, covered patio gives the ideal location for a hearty send-off! We had about 200 people on 19 tables with a large head table in front of the fireplace. The room felt very full, but not suffocating, and there was enough space for the dance floor, a DJ, and string trio. They said they could accommodate up to 250, but I don't see how that would fit without putting tables on the upper entrance level. (Note: great venue for 100-200 folks!) Ruth's Chris has an exclusive contract with the South Bend Country Club, so we indulged in excellent food and plated service from Chef Ivan, our coordinator Mary Beth, and their team!

All the employees are sweethearts and are extremely kind, providing a welcoming and amazing experience. As for the fruit itself, it is delicious! I believe there are two types of peaches (which are absolutely scrumptious) and many different types of apples. Overall the experience was absolutely amazing. Would definitely go again and I definitely recommend!

It was purchased and reopened by the new owner John and his wife. They have really put in a ton of work and the place is fantastic.

Most importantly, the apples are some of the best I have ever eaten. This is truly the place to make great family memories.
