Best Day Ever.

My husband and I recently got married at Avon Gardens on June 25th, 2022. What an absolute DREAM! If you are looking to be married outdoors in the most beautiful outdoor setting you just found your wedding venue. From the moment we first booked to the moment we arrived for the rehearsal I knew we were in great hands. The staff we worked with (Karen, Tori and Sherry) were all knowledgeable and professional. They certainly put my mind at ease for such a busy and important day. My family didn’t have to do a single thing day of for set up. Their staff took notes at the rehearsal and had everything ready to go for the big day. Our guests (and myself) were in awe by how immaculate the gardens were kept. I had multiple guests tell me it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. I can’t wait to see the pictures from the photographer as the night sky had the perfect sunset backdrop! Thanks again to everyone at Avon Gardens for creating memories to last a lifetime!

Dream Garden Wedding

Avon Gardens was our first choice of venue and we don’t regret it one bit. The venue was beautiful and the staff was friendly and easy to communicate with all for an affordable price. It was a dream wedding come true.

Beautiful Venue

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. :)

Amazing wedding venue the place to have your wedding

Avon Gardens was our wedding venue. I got married on June 11 of this year. It was amazing. I can’t complain Avon gardens was a magical place to have our wedding. We were so pleased and grateful with the staff from Avon gardens who made our wedding dreams come true. They helped us decorate putting every details in order. They were so attentive in every details for the wedding. During our final meeting, to our rehearsal before the wedding and the day of the wedding. They made every wish and detail possible to even having our projector placed for our wedding video to show. They made us feel every time welcomed. The place is beautiful there’s changing room with cool air, bathrooms outside . In the night they place candles around and lights it’s romantic and magical. Avon Gardens is the place to have your wedding. Thank you Avon gardens staff for all you did to make our wedding dream come true.

Great Venue and Experience

We absolutely loved having our wedding here. Even out of peak season, the place was beautiful and the setup was above and beyond! Staff were welcoming and made the day was less stressful for us. We enjoyed the flexibility offered here (ability to have our own caterers, set up layout/lots of space) and would absolutely recommend Avon Gardens!

Beautiful venue, great value

The staff at Avon Gardens were wonderful. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and all of the guests raved about the setting. The staff at Avon Gardens were responsive and absolutely willing to do whatever it took to make my wedding vision come true. The fact that they do all of the set-up and tear down was an important factor in my decision to use Avon Gardens and they did a great job. Being that my husband and I are a bit older than the average couple, our parents are in their 70's and I didn't want them to be left with a bunch of physical work at the end of the reception, but the staff packed all of the decorations and loaded it into the cars for them! This venue is absolutely gorgeous and I would recommend it to anyone without reservation. My guests told me it was like being in a real-life fairy tale, and the photos are simply dreamy. Karen, Stacy, and the rest of the staff were helpful, professional, and great to work with. Thank you so much. It was the wedding of my dreams!

Best venue ever!

We LOVED our experience working with Avon Gardens. The gardens are so beautiful and made the perfect backdrop for our wedding photos. Everyone there was very easy to work with and communicated very well with us throughout the whole process. They ran the wedding like a well-oiled machine, but it didn't feel rushed or cookie-cutter like other venues. I also loved that we were able to bring our own decorations and they set everything up beautifully! I definitely recommend Avon Gardens for a venue.
