    Beal and Thomas Wedding

    I can't say enough great things about this venue, as well as Jeff and his team. He thinks of every detail and has a plan for it all. The venue was absolutely beautiful and perfect for a country barn wedding. :)

    Couldn't think of a better place to have our wedding!

    Hidden Brook Acres was an absolute amazing place to have the type of wedding that we wanted. We were looking for a rustic and backyard feeling when it came to the venue. We both grew up in Shelbyville, so to have a place there that we could get married was amazing. The owner was very professional and had great communication at all times during the process and the day. We had some weather interference with our day and the people were amazing at being flexible and helping us still have the great day that we were wanting. They were very helpful on the day of with whatever we might have needed and I would highly recommend you use them for your wedding!

    Hidden Brook Acres's reply:

    Thanks so much for the kind words Ryleigh! It was a pleasure working with you and Austin. Thanks for being so flexible and easy to work with. CONGRATS to all! :)

    Incredible

    We had our wedding at Hidden Brook this July and it was nothing short of the BEST DAY EVER. We had an absolute blast, and Jeff and Tina were phenomenal to work with. Jeff helped us through any obstacle that popped up and made planning so easy. Tina caught AWESOME personal details of the day into a video that we have played back time and time again. This was the PERFECT venue ran by the PERFECT people. I cannot express how much we, and everyone involved in the wedding loved it.

    Hidden Brook Acres's reply:

    Thank you, Jessica! We had so much fun with your crew. Everyone was so kind and fun. Congratulations!!

    Top Notch Wedding Venue!!

    If I could give 10 stars I would! HBA and Jeff are the best! Brandon and I couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue to share with all of our family and favorite friends! Jeff and his team were attentive, paid attention to detail and helpful every step of the way. We did a mini wedding with HBA which means it's on a smaller scale, but includes the venue for ceremony and reception, food, setup, flowers, photographer (though we had our own), deco, alcohol, cake, and planning assistance. It made planning the day so simple and easy AND fun. I would recommend this venue over and over and over again. I can't sing their praises high enough. Liam was the best part of the venue. ;)

    Hidden Brook Acres's reply:

    Thanks, Victoria! You guys are the best! We truly enjoyed working with you both to plan your wedding.

    This place is fantastic

    This place is amazing. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Jeff helped us figure out all the small details we didn't even think of. I would totally recommend Hidden Brook to anyone getting married.

    The best venue around

    Jeff and Tina are the best team, they make you feel like part of the family and have your back every step of the way to make sure the day is perfect no matter what. Jeff goes way above and beyond any other venue would. My wedding was beyond perfect because of Hidden Brook Acres❤️

    Couldn’t be Happier!

    We couldn’t be happier with Hidden Brook Acres! We had originally planned to have our wedding elsewhere, but COVID-19 happened and put a wrench in our original plans. We reached out to Jeff and Bradley about a month or so before our wedding day, and they worked everything out and made it happen for us! They were super accommodating and very flexible. The venue was absolutely beautiful and the service and hospitality they showed all of our guests was beyond amazing. We couldn’t be happier that our original plans were changed, because our wedding at Hidden Brook Acres was better than we could have imagined.

    Hidden Brook Acres's reply:

    Thank you Lindsey! I'm so happy we could help you and Rob out with short notice. Congrats to you both!

    Magical Hidden Brook Acres

    As the mother of the bride, I wanted a special day for my only daughter and we found it— right here in Central Indiana. Hidden Brook Acres is magical. Breathtaking views, a beautiful barn, a romantic tree grove by a brook. It has everything you can imagine, and then some. The venue owner Jeff provides exceptional service. His attention to detail is meticulous. He was attentive from day one. He is an experienced event planner, providing guidance throughout the process. One expects that in a great venue. But Jeff provides much more than that. What makes him so outstanding at his craft are the miracles he performs when things happen that you weren’t expecting. The day of the wedding gets a little crazy, but he was every where we needed him. At one point I thought there were 4 of him because it seemed he was in 4 different places all at the same time. I never noticed Jeff throughout the day, until I needed something or had a question. He was invisible so as not to interfere with any of the festivities, then appeared out of nowhere to help me again and again and again. This venue was very affordable yet provided all the benefits you get from the overrated venues. If you are looking for an overrated venue (like the ones in downtown Indy, Carmel, Fishers or Noblesville), Hidden Brook is not your place. But if you are looking for that magic, go see Jeff. You will not be disappointed.

    Best wedding venue in Indy area

    Could not say enough wonderful things about this venue! We loved the staff, the space and the over all feel of the venue. Our guests constantly talked about how amazing the site was. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to marry the love of my life! We are so appreciative of Hidden Brook for making our special day so perfect!

    Fantastic Venue

    10/10 recommend Hidden Brook Acres! Brad, Jeff and Christina made our wedding day absolutely amazing. The venue is so beautiful and communication between Jeff and Christina was fantastic, I never had to worry about a thing and they were so helpful in finding us the vendors we had not picked out yet. We were able to bring in our own catering, photographer and DJ as well. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and we have these guys to thank for helping make it all happen.

    Absolutely Amazing!!!

    Our wedding was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we toured Hidden Brook Acres, we felt like we were meant to get married there and be a part of the Hidden Brook "family." Luckily for us, it was the first place we toured. The whole property is absolutely beautiful. The bridal and groom suites were fantastic!! From start to finish, Jeff was so helpful and easy to contact. We loved that we got to bring in our own caterer, photographer, etc. Leading up to the wedding, Jeff was involved as much as we needed him to be, planning out the floorplan and thinking of everything we might not have thought of during the weeks leading up to the wedding. The day before the wedding, Jeff and Christina helped with so many things to us feel at ease. The day of the wedding, they were always checking in on us making sure we didn't need anything or to help in any way. My husband and I received so many compliments about the staff, the venue, and the whole evening as a whole. Everyone's still talking about it and it's been almost 2 months. We couldn't have asked for a better experience or a better place to get hitched. We would do it all over again just to get married down by the creek again!!

    Most Incredible Venue and Staff!

    We got married here three weeks ago and we honestly could not ask for more in a venue. We really wanted a rustic barn setting for our wedding and reception. Hidden Brook Acres was the first (and only) venue we looked at. As soon as we stepped on this property, we really felt so loved and welcomed. We knew that if we felt this way, our guest would feel this way too. Throughout the process, Jeff reminded us that he could be involved as much or as little as we wanted and he really held true to that. During our engagement season, there were many times I would freak out about seating or tents or decorations or whatever, and Jeff was always available to chat about ideas. He drew up floorplans for us, reached out to other vendors to get us quotes on tents, and sent us pictures of past weddings for helpful ideas. Hidden Brook Acres really made us feel like we were the only wedding on their schedule. One thing that was really helpful was that Jeff added us into a Facebook group with past couples so that we could get ideas from their experience. It was also really sweet that we got to have our rehearsal dinner at our venue. During our dinner rehearsal and wedding, Jeff and Christina made us feel so cared for by helping us in every way that they could. They really did so much, but I feel like the best example I can give is right before I walked down the aisle, I really needed some water and Christina ran to get me some before the doors opened. She then found me after the ceremony to see if I needed water again. It really made me feel so loved and cared for. After the wedding, my mom commented on how helpful they were during the clean-up process. She said that they were able to get the whole venue cleaned up in under an hour. I really cannot emphasize enough how helpful and loving the staff at Hidden Brook Acres is. Our wedding party, our guest, and everyone who came into contact with the staff during our wedding mentioned how much they loved them. Since the wedding has passed, it feels weird not being in communication with them as often. My mom even noted that in the end they felt like family and so it was kind of sad to say good-bye to them after the wedding. They are the best and the venue is absolutely perfect. I cannot recommend this place enough! It is very much my new favorite place on earth!!

    Hidden Brook Acres's reply:

    Thanks so much! You're too kind! You'll forever be a part of the Hidden Brook Acres family! Feel free to call to chat or come back and visit anytime. Congrats again!

    Very nice, friendly staff with a beautiful property/barn.

    Jeff was wonderful to work with, we hardly even did any planning, as they were so helpful for us. Pricing doesnt get any better either. I absolutely will continue to recommend Hidden Brook Acres to anybody in search of any event location. So much fun! It's the perfect place!

    Worden wedding

    This place is great. We had so much fun. Love the barn and the staff. It was a cold rainy weekend but with the help of the staff they helped make my day so special. I want to get married again just so I can hangout at the barn again.

    Phenomenal

    We got married here a week ago yesterday, and this venue was by far our favorite venue we visited prior to getting married here. Not only because of the price, which is VERY affordable, but the atmosphere and the workers who run this place are phenomenal. Jeff was so quick to respond when you contacted him, and he always stayed in touch throughout up to the wedding which shows who he is as a business owner. One of the things we loved about Hidden Brook Acres was how you get Friday- Sunday to set up and tear down with rehearsal. It made things go a lot smoother than setting up everything the day of and tearing down the same night. Christina and Jeff were wonderful, and so accommodating to us. They were always quick to whatever need we had, the night of the reception they were picking up plates from peoples dinner and filling the bridal party’s glasses without having to ask. At the end of our reception, they had majority of our things taken down and packed away and Sunday when we arrived it was all ready to load up. Christina and Jeff made sure without a doubt we were satisfied the whole weekend and we cannot thank them enough for all the hard work they put into this wedding. If you are looking for hospitality with great people and a beautiful atmosphere, then I highly recommend this venue over any barn and I promise you won’t regret it!

    Thanks for the kind words Meaghan! We loved hosting your event. Congrats again and best wishes to you! :)

    Amazing Experience!

    I have worked in the hospitality and wedding world for over 10 years so I've seen the best and the worst. Hidden brook Acres is definitely the best! They go out of their way to make your planning as easy as possible! My day was absolutely perfect and I can't think of anything that went wrong! This crew works so well with vendors to ensure everything goes smoothly! The property is absolutely beautiful, I can't wait to see my pictures! If you are looking for a rustic barn wedding this is definitely the place, and very convenient for Indianapolis brides!

    This venue is absolutely breathtaking. You must consider this and go out check it out for yourself. Not only is the space stunning with a rustic barn and plenty of options for the ceremony setting, but the staff is incredibly helpful. Jeff, Brad and Christina were always available to answer any questions we had leading up until our day. They went above and beyond to assist with unexpected needs and were always around to orchestrate the entire day/evening. Jeff even pulled me aside during the reception to give me a heads up that the sun was setting and the clouds were turning a pretty pink... I was able to grab the photographer just in time! We are more than pleased with how well everything turned out and our guests loved the place! While its a bit off the grid and out in the country, it's perfect for those looking for a peaceful place that almost has a destination feel to the event without the cost of a destination wedding.

    We used Nameless Catering for the food and did their BBQ option. Also an excellent choice and they know their way around the venue well.

    As far as accommodations in Shelbyville go, I would strongly recommend the Holiday Inn. Even though its on the pricey side for the area, its the cleanest and their breakfast buffet is outstanding! I had family that stayed across the road at the Comfort Inn and the place smelled funky and the breakfast was very basic and not fresh.

    Thank you so much for the kind words, Nicole. We had such a great time hosting your big day. So happy for you both! Congrats!

    Our absolutely wonderful day turned out to be nothing like we originally envisioned. We had planned to be married by the river, however Mother Nature decided to release so much rain it was impossible! Jeff and Christina were AMAZING in having a back-up plan and helped to create a better experience than I could have ever imagined! They were ready to help at every step of planning and helped us to have the best day possible. Jeff was very prompt with responses as well as knowledgeable. I am very happy we chose Hidden Brook Acres and couldn't have had a better day!

    Hidden Brook Acres's reply:

    Thanks so much Jill! You guys were so much fun to work with. We greatly appreciate your flexibility and willing to "go with the flow" as the rain hung with us all weekend! Can't wait to see some more wedding pics! Congrats!
