There is a choice between the Cathedral Ballroom and the Grand Ballroom for the main reception. The Cathedral room is characterized by broad columns and classical arched windows. Natural light illuminates the space, highlighting the exquisite crystals that drape from the ceiling.

Before the ceremony, each side of the wedding party can prepare in their own spacious get-ready rooms. Located on a balcony overlooking the Cathedral Ballroom, the first of these suites is fully equipped to host the wedding party, their hair and makeup team, and a photographer. There are vanity stations and facilities to hold a lush pre-wedding brunch. The other get-ready room features a state-of-the-art games console, flat-screen television, and a selection of ice-cold beer.

WOW! Amazing venue

Angelique and team at Duneland Falls were absolutely amazing! The entire experience from our initial planning meeting all the way until the party ended was fantastic. They have great communication and have great resources. They know what they are doing. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

Amazing Experience

Married on November 7, 2020. I was a Covid bride over-stressing about every little detail. Angelique kept me updated about every change due to Covid from the Porter County Health Dept. Thankfully we had GORGEOUS 70+ degree weather in November and moved out ceremony outside last minute. Angelique was fully on board with that decision, even tho the ceremony space was already set up inside and we had to completely change the room layout again. Overall experience, I would highly recommend this venue! Stress-free, lots of in house decor, food, linen options. One stop shop!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
