Amber L. Sent on 09/15/2021Our Beautiful Garden Wedding
I could go on all day about how wonderful our experience was with Aberdeen Manor. From the moment we stepped into look at the Venue, we knew that it was the perfect place for our wedding. The garden and chapel are absolutely beautiful. The ballroom is extremely elegant. Every single member of the staff is amazing! Renee was truly such a lifesaver in the planning process. She was so helpful and always there when I needed anything! She gave the best advice and truly helped our wedding come to life, every last detail! It was such a relief to have a one stop shop for everything! The staff treated us like family and made us feel like home. The food was DELICIOUS! Our day was beyond anything we could have ever imagined..magical, beautiful, and full of so much love. We couldn’t have done it without the Aberdeen Team! -

LOVE the Aberdeen!!
We absolutely LOVED having our wedding at the Aberdeen Manor & Ballroom! Lisa, Megan, and the entire staff at the Aberdeen are so fantastic! Lisa was our planner and she made the entire process so easy and manageable for us. Lisa is so incredibly kind, knowledgeable, professional, and she has a wonderful sense of humor! Wedding planning can be very stressful but Lisa put our worries at ease from our first meeting. She is so organized, detailed, responsive and answered any question we had. The Aberdeen truly is a one stop shop – they printed our invitations and menus for us, provided the suits and shoes for the groom, groomsmen, ring bearers, and bride’s father, plus day of coordination. They offer so many options for centerpieces, décor, and give you lots of ideas to make your wedding exactly how you want it! The facilities are beautiful and so well-maintained. The food is delicious, the service is excellent, and everyone is so nice! Everything on the day of our wedding went so smoothly thanks to the Aberdeen staff, we were so happy with how everything turned out. I felt like I didn't have to worry because we were in such good hands! We could not be happier with the Aberdeen and Lisa! We HIGHLY recommend the Aberdeen for your wedding! -

We loved that Aberdeen was practically all inclusive and affordable. Many upgrades for most venues were standard and included. We also loved that it was a family own and run business. They made sure everything was taken care of so the day of the wedding, all we had to do was show up. The "snowfall" first dance was a memory we won't ever forget. The food was also amazing. -

Aberdeen Manor Wedding
We could not be happier with Aberdeen Manor!! My husband and I got married there on August 15, 2020. They were amazing to work with!! Our coordinator, Kelsea, was the BEST!!!! From the start, she was so great, helpful, fun, energetic, and so so kind!! After touring Aberdeen, we knew we needed to have our wedding there not only because we loved the venue, but we loved Kelsea! We got married in the chapel and had our reception in the ballroom. They made it exactly how we envisioned our big day! We talk about our wedding with our friends and family every single day, and wish we could relive our perfect day. It truly was the greatest most beautiful day, thanks to Aberdeen Manor! We are so grateful! -

Best Day EVER!!
Aberdeen was AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL! I didn't even know about Aberdeen until I got engaged, when one of my close friends told me about it. From day 1 they were very accommodating, very prompt with their responses, easy and fun to work with. Our coordinator Kelsey was the BEST! She was hilarious and easy going, she kept in touch with us frequently (even while she was out of town), she helped me make sure everything was done and kept me on my toes. Our wedding was supposed to be in March, the day before Indiana shut down due to COVID. When I got the call from Megan, I was completely devastated because I had no idea what we were going to do. Megan made the process super easy and a little less stressful. We were able to change our date easily and on October 4th, we said I DO! The day was perfect!! Thank you to Kelsey, Renee, Megan, and Trey, we were able to have our Disney Fairytale wedding. We still have guests commenting on how beautiful the venue was, how delicious the food was, and how friendly the staff was. To be honest, I'd choose Aberdeen over and over again. It was the best experience we've ever had. -

I can’t say enough good things about Aberdeen. We had Megan as our coordinator and from the moment we met her I knew we were in good hands. She was super responsive and helpful throughout our planning process. Even on the day of the wedding she was on the floor helping my bridesmaid bustle my dress. Food was delicious and decor was amazing. Our wedding dreams truly became a reality at Aberdeen, there isn’t one thing we would do differently!! -

The Aberdeen staff are so helpful and friendly! Lisa, our coordinator, was so amazing! She went above and beyond to help organize all of the little details and was always available via email for questions. I loved how Aberdeen set up and took down our decorations we had. I was relieved that my family and I didn’t have to do that the night before. The taste testing was also a great experience! Their food is very flavorful. The groom and groomsmen rented their tuxes through them. They are very reliable and flexible if something doesn’t fit, they can rush a tux/suit the next day. Really is a peace of mind knowing they could handle that part for us too. We also got our invitations through them and got a discount off our total. It’s almost a one stop shop (except the brides dress)! The waitresses and bartenders were also amazing from what I’ve heard from my guests and what we experienced. I don’t have anything negative to say! We were so happy to have our wedding at Aberdeen Manor it was such a beautiful day! One I’ll cherish forever!Aberdeen Manor Ballroom, Chapel, Garden's reply:
Thank you Monica! I'm so thrilled to read that you were happy with everything--from decor, to food, to even our waitstaff! It was a joy helping you guys plan for one of the most important days of your lives. Don't be strangers! -

Stacy B. Sent on 08/02/2019We took a chance and it was the best thing we ever did...
Truth be told the Aberdeen was not our original choice. Our venue burned down shortly before our wedding. Their slogan is something like "we only need one chance" and let me tell you that is true. We gave them a chance and it was the best thing that we ever did. I think that the Aberdeen turned out to be better than our original venue. Here's why:
-it's extremely clean. They've been in business for years and years but the place looks IMMACULATE. You have to see it to understand what I mean.
-it's family owned. How cute is that?? From the bar tenders to the chef and everyone in between. Many of the employees have worked there for like 20 years which tells you that the place is quality.
-indoor/outdoor space. We had our ceremony outside because the weather was kind but in the event of heat or rain they allow you to use their beautiful chapel.
-the food. We booked the place without having tasted it because it was so last minute. We loved it and so did our guests.
-setup/teardown is included! It is one less thing that you have to worry about and pay for.
-flexibility. You have 1000's of different options. You can decorate the ballroom as you wish and include or take out what you want and don't want (lighting, centerpieces, decorations, etc.)
-Kelsea. You don't know her yet but you should. She was an amazing wedding coordinator and we can't say enough good things about her. Lisa and Megan and several others helped us out as well. They are all great!
If you haven't booked your venue yet just go see the place and talk to them. -

Above & Beyond
Not too long after the engagement, I knew I wanted to book the Aberdeen. My parents recommended them and they are not easy people to impress so I hired them with full confidence. One of the comments that I received most about the venue is how good the food was there. After having New York Strip as a main entree on our wedding night, I have to agree 110%. The Aberdeen was absolutely gorgeous for our special day and we received many compliments on it. I myself was happy with how the venue turned out. Made it look very magical. Kelsea was our coordinator and did a great job guiding me through all the planning and really went above and beyond expectations. She went with all my ideas and helped me make them come true. She was so sweet and very caring. I think it is important to have coordinators who have experience with planning their own weddings because it helps them truly relate and fully help out their clients. She was a bonus that the venue offered with their services. Thank you Kelsea and Aberdeen Manor for throwing the best wedding of my life. Martin & Sarah Medina. -

Katie Sent on 04/14/2019Fantastic Venue and Event Staff
I cannot speak highly enough about Megan and her team at Aberdeen Manor. Not only did she make the whole wedding planning process seamless, but she was kind, supportive, and creative. Megan is very knowledgeable with event planning and has great relationships with vendors. She asks the questions you don't think to ask and is incredibly organized and resourceful. I especially appreciated her calming presence throughout the whole process. The day of the wedding, I was stress-free because I knew Megan was behind the scenes working it all out for me. I would not hesitate to recommend Aberdeen Manor to future couples, as they exceeded our expectations in every way possible. -

Megan was our event planner and not only was she so sweet and friendly but so easy to talk to and she never once made me feel like a burden, even when I was emailing her questions at midnight. I reccomend Aberdeen a million times over the food was excellent everyone is so nice and helpful and they seriously take so much stress off your shoulders! -

Kynan W. Sent on 12/10/2018Beautiful event location
Aberdeen was a beautiful event to have our reception at, the chapel is very nice looking but we decided to get married off site and just hold our reception there. The food was amazing! Mac and Cheese bites and ravioli for appetizers during cocktail hour were a hit from everyone, and the pecan crusted chicken was absolutely delicious! The only downside of aberdeen is most things cost extra, it kind of feels like they "nickel and dime" you, but everything was very affordable and well explained during the entire process and we only paid for what we wanted. It was a beautiful place to have our most special day and I definitely recommend it to anyone in the area! Working with Lisa leading up to our wedding, she was very attentive and quick to communicate for all things during the planning process. -

Beautiful reception venue. They offer several décor upgrades (ceiling décor/up lighting/pin spot lighting for centerpieces/décor on the wall behind the head table, bling table numbers, bling napkin rings, etc.) which give you the opportunity to go as subtle or as over-the-top as you’d like to fit your wedding vision.
We were married in December and had a Christmas-themed wedding. It was amazing that they let us bring in several of our own Christmas trees and a very large Christmas arch to enhance their minimal Christmas décor. When you walked in the door it looked like you stepped foot into a Hallmark Christmas Movie! They also let us bring in rented LOVE letters to put in front of the head table and fire shooters placed on the corners of the dance floor (provided by 219 Productions). I’m not sure if other reception venues let you bring in such large décor items, but I was impressed that they allowed this!
We had the Flower Cart in Chesterton do all our flowers/decorate all our Christmas trees and of course we chose to go with the pin spot lighting which enhanced the centerpieces. You wouldn’t normally think about it, but it really does take the centerpieces and give them even more of a wow factor.
I highly recommend getting ceiling décor. When you look at their price sheet (pretty much everything is a la carte which can add up very quickly) you’ll see that the up lighting/ceiling décor/décor on the wall behind the head table are hundreds of dollars. It’s overwhelming at first, but it truly does make your reception look magical! They also offer off-season discounts on some décor and snow during your first dance…a must! They also give a slight percentage off if you have several décor upgrades.
I HIGHLY recommend the mac and cheese bites for appetizers. They were like a party in your mouth!
Lisa Allyn was our coordinator and she was absolutely spectacular! She was so over-the-top helpful and so sweet and caring. You know she deals with several brides at the same time, yet she truly cared about giving us the most stress-free reception ever! The servers were also amazing and super attentive.
Aberdeen Manor for the win!!!
