We recently hosted our wedding ceremony and reception at Meyer's Castle, and consolidating everything in one space proved to be a very smart decision. We chose this venue specifically for its stunning on-site ceremony space, distinctive layout, and spectacular gardens. Throughout the planning process, communication was excellent, with prompt responses to all our questions. The pricing was transparent, and there were no surprises.

5.0

Veedersburg, IN
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,500

We are a unique venue that you rent for the entire weekend. You check in on Friday morning and don't check out until Sunday morning. You have all day Friday to decorate and can have your rehearsal & rehearsal dinner that evening. You can stay all night in our large, beautiful farmhouse and be ready to get your hair & makeup done first thing on Saturday morning in our sunroom that showcases the most gorgeous views of the pond, woods & pastures. Saturday you get to say "I DO" and follow that up with the reception you have been excited to throw to celebrate with all your favorite people. When you are exhausted from the fun, you get to stumble across the parking lot & crash in the comfy beds of the house. A huge bonus is that you don't have to shut your party down by midnight...you can go as long as you want. You can clean up on Sunday and check out at 11am. We have the most beautiful sunsets and endless spots for your perfect pictures.

From the moment we first reached out to The Hideaway at Crazymans, the communication was fast, helpful, and informative. Jenny, the owner, was incredibly hands-on and eager to provide support in any way she could to make our special day perfect. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, with a great modern yet rustic vibe that accommodated all of our guests, from young to old. After visiting over 20 venues in Indiana, this was the last one on our list, and as soon as we left, we knew it was the perfect place. Having the space for the entire weekend made the logistics so much more convenient for us and our guests. We cannot recommend The Hideaway at Crazymans enough - the quality of their work and value they provided was truly exceptional.

Hidden Hollow Farm Event Venue 

5.0

Crawfordsville, IN
  • Up to 210 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor

They say your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. So when our oldest daughter told us she was engaged it was all about making it a day they would remember. The challenge started...finding a venue that would accent this memorable day. It came to a great surprise to us that there was a lack of beautiful outdoor venues. That is where the dream for Hidden Hollow Farm began.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Caters to out-of-town guests
  • Pets can join the celebration
  • Provides setup and cleanup

Venue considerations

  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Lighting and sound are not included
  • Venue feels large for events with small guest lists
Tina and Olivia, the mother‑daughter powerhouse behind Hidden Hollow Farm, made our special day absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, they were laid‑back, flexible, and eager to accommodate every single one of our wishes. The venue itself is breathtaking—our guests couldn’t stop talking about how gorgeous the grounds are! Despite a last‑minute weather change, Tina and Olivia seamlessly moved our ceremony indoors, keeping everything on track with genuine warmth and professionalism. We also stayed on‑site in their cozy lodge and apartment (available on Airbnb!), which felt like a home away from home. Gathering around the bonfire the night before, surrounded by close friends and family, turned the entire weekend into the intimate celebration we’d always dreamed of. Tina and Olivia truly went above and beyond to make our wedding weekend perfect. We can’t recommend this mother‑daughter team—and Hidden Hollow Farm—highly enough—10/10!
