Avon Gardens

Excellent hospitality and assistance. Best place for outdoor weddings. Absolutely love it !

I love a pros and cons list so here we go!


Pros:

(1) The gardens are STUNNING! I mean, wow. (2) The staff is perfection. Didn't even need a day-of coordinator. (The DJ also helped with the timeline!) (3) You get to choose your own food/alcohol vendors. (4) More cost-effective than a lot of venues (5) Rentable items (signs, center pieces, table numbers, card/gift holder)


***************************************************************************************************************
Cons:

(1) If you live in Indy, traffic is a nightmare. Even on Saturday morning when we went to pick up our car, still horrible. (2) They charge $300/hour for the "getting ready room"—I had assumed that would be included (3) There's an extra tent charge based on guest numbers. (Despite the tents being rented and set up anyway 24/7.) We also didn't know that until the final payment was due.

Honestly—the pros definitely outweighed the cons. I was a stressed bride, but really shouldn't have been. They had thought of most things and covered it for us. And those cons are communication problems or policies that could be easily fixed. The team is fantastic, the grounds are gorgeous, and the price is solid. :)
