    The Shabi Wedding

    Jaime, our coordinator was absolutely amazing! She made the process so easy and enjoyable. From picking our menu, bar package and linens. If I had a question, I was able to reach out to her and she would respond within minutes. The venue is absolutely beautiful and I received nothing but amazing feedback from all of my guests!

    Reception location

    Avalon has a perfect location, close to hotels, restaurants and churches. The option of having salons of different sizes with the fountain in the background was beautiful. We did not have the ceremony at Avalon but that is an option.

    Will make your wedding dreams come true!

    Nikki was excellent at Avalon. So professional, down to earth and very responsive!! I couldn’t imagine having had anyone better to work with. Whatever I needed and whenever I needed it, Nikki was always above and beyond. All the staff on the day of we’re excellent. We had a magical night and it was in large part due to the great people at Avalon. Beautiful venue and wonderful staff, so many thanks! :)

    Exceptional

    I had my wedding here in September 2021. The value and customer service you get was well above my expectations. It was such a pleasure and ease working with Nicki. Everything about the process of planning went smoothly. My guests were so impressed with the hall, their service, and the food. This was the closing deal for me when I was looking for a hall. Both of our families are Mexican and we were really looking for a place that would cater authentic Mexican food. We were not disappointed, all the contrary. The chief did an excellent job with the food and many guests commented on how delicious and authentic it was. I would definitely recommend this hall and hoping to use it in the future again for an anniversary party!

    Great experience

    I started planned my wedding a year in advance with help from Nicki. She did a great job of answering the questions I had and helped me feel at ease about the process of my big day. Nicki was understanding and flexible with any changes I had. The venue was accommodating and I feel that I had plenty of time and space to get ready with my brides maids. My package included 1 ballroom open bar, my choice of entree, tables, centerpieces, chairs, a table for treats, as well as a for gifts. After 6pm the gazebo was open for me to take photos which was great.

    A Great Bookend

    We loved the venue. The staff was accommodating and friendly. The lighting and the dance floor were great. Food was also fabulous. We still have family and friends mention how great the whole reception was and would 10/10 recommend.

    Amazing experience from start to finish!

    My husband and I were so happy with the experience we had with The Avalon. We worked with Nicki throughout our wedding planning and she was absolutely phenomenal. The venue was clean, beautiful, amazing food, and great location. Everyone that attended our wedding had so many positive things to say about the halls food and service. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a great hall with great pricing and packages!

    Spectacular Wedding and Reception

    Our wedding day was incredible and everyone at Avalon did an amazing job making that happen. Especially with the craziness of Covid, they were so flexible and communicated with us every step of the way. They also did a great job setting everything up ahead of time and making the place look beautiful. It was everything I could’ve imagined and more!

    Had to reschedule my wedding and they made it easy

    I decided to go with Avalon because they made planning everything a breeze. Got married outside at the gazebo so everyone felt safe enough to move around. People rave about the food and how they had such a great time.

    May 28, 2021 Bride

    I got married May 28, 2021 at the Avalon Manor and it was perfect. Our ceremony and reception were both inside and the staff and our vendors did an amazing job making my wedding visions come to life! My favorite thing about the Avalon Manor are their gorgeous chandeliers and floor to ceiling windows with a view of the pond and greenery in the back. There’s also a beautiful gazebo in back for outdoor ceremonies.

    I can’t say enough about the Avalon Manor’s staff honestly. Since they do many weddings each year, everything is relatively routine and they’re able to accommodate almost any requests so you’re not stressing about catering, food service, clean up, bar service, etc. since they do it all!

    I would highly recommend! There’s also plenty of hotels very close by for out of town guests! Please consider the Avalon Manor for your wedding!

    Wedding During the Pandemic

    The Avalon is such a beautiful place. I was able to have a wedding during the pandemic which is stressful alone. The staff there was professional and responsive. If I had any questions, I received a response in a timely manner. The food taste is one to die for. Everything was ran smoothly and on time. I highly recommend.

    Picture perfect and excellent to work with!

    Nicki was very helpful during the wedding planning process! She helped us every step from linens, to vendors, to handling the pandemic and still making my dream wedding happen. They were accommodating to every request and the set up by staff was flawless. Nothing was out of place with the directions that were left. Avalon was the absolute best choice and we still get compliments on how awesome our food was!

    Beautiful Venue

    Wonderful venue, even during COVID. Such great accommodations so we could hold our wedding there. Made for great pictures, too. Jovanka was easy to work with and responded promptly to emails and all of our questions. Reasonable pricing, too.

    Loved working with Avalon! (Oct 2020 wedding)

    I had my wedding at Avalon Manor in October 2020. It was such an uncertain time in the world, but their staff went above and beyond to make sure the day was wonderful. Jovanka answered every single question my husband & I had. The venue had so many precautions in place to keep our guests safe. The food was excellent - our guests still talk about the dinner! I also had a small bridal shower there and it was perfect. I would 100% recommend Avalon to anyone getting married in NW Indiana.

    Extraordinary!

    Avalon Manor was the best place to have our wedding. From the start, Nicki was incredible to work with. I am living across the country and Nicki helped me with everything with 0 problems... even during a pandemic! She was very quick at responding, super accommodating and I couldn't have asked for anyone better at helping me coordinate my day! My wedding & reception went amazingly smooth... only 1 minor thing happened and that was that I purchased a lot of masks for our guests and somehow they all went missing. Otherwise, the day was perfect. The servers for our dinner were very polite and the food was amazing! I couldn't have asked for a better experience or day!

    Excellent place for a wedding

    My husband and I got married in the beginning of October, the day couldn't have been better. The weather was beautiful and having our wedding out by their pond with the sunset in the background was breathtaking. Jill Ewer was our caterer that night and she did an amazing job! Even with Covid going on Avalon Manor made our special day one we will never forget.

    Covid wedding

    Nicki was extremely helpful planning our wedding at the Avalon! We originally had a wedding planned in Illinois but due to Covid restrictions we decided to have it in Indiana. Nicki was so accommodating in making our dream wedding come true and was always keeping in touch with us throughout the Covid restrictions and guidelines. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
