Lakeside Occasions is a family-owned barn wedding venue set on the edge of Emma Lake in Topeka, Indiana, in the heart of northern Indiana's Amish countryside. The property has been in the same family for five generations, originally operating as Merleta Farms — a Guernsey dairy farm that held its last milking in 1988. In 2013, the family opened the fully restored 1880s dairy barn as a wedding and event venue, preserving its rustic agricultural character while adding modern heat and air conditioning, wheelchair-accessible restrooms, and changing rooms. The venue's main reception space, the Guernsey Barn, accommodates up to 250 seated guests and opens to a lakeside ceremony area with a gazebo. The property also includes a 50s-style diner, an outdoor grain bin bar, a recreation space called The Coop, and a historic silo — making it a self-contained destination across 63 acres. Tables and chairs for up to 250 guests are included with the rental, and the venue handles all bar service in-house.

The main event space features columned arches surrounding an expansive dance floor at the foot of a large stage, with a balcony mezzanine overlooking the main level — the mezzanine retains much of its original architectural detail, including a painstaking restoration of painted ceiling motifs. The venue is designed for ceremonies, receptions, corporate functions, concerts, and dances. On-site offerings include in-house catering, linens, staffing, a fully stocked bar, tableware, and decor.

Biltwell Event Center occupies a 1922 industrial building on Indianapolis's White River Parkway — a former window and door factory that owner Taki Sawi transformed into an event venue, welcoming its first events in 2015.

The venue accommodates weddings, corporate functions, nonprofit events, trade shows, and social gatherings, with rental packages that include Edison lighting, handcrafted farm tables, cross-back chairs, built-in bars, a full sound system with microphones, ceremony arch options, lounge seating, and a champagne wall. Complimentary parking is provided on-site. An in-house culinary team handles all food and beverage, with experienced catering sales managers present throughout each event. Outdoor decks with string lighting, outdoor furniture, and fire pits extend the usable space beyond the building's walls. Ceremony and reception packages include seven hours of event time with 10 a.m. vendor access, a two-hour rehearsal, and an engagement session.

The Inn at Irwin Gardens occupies a meticulously preserved historic estate in Columbus, Indiana, where a Victorian home built in 1864 was transformed through a 1910 Edwardian redesign into one of the region's most distinctive event properties. The interior retains its original light fixtures, furniture, and bathroom fixtures alongside imported English oak, Italian marble fireplaces, and seven stained glass motifs representing the days of the week. The Italianate gardens — designed between 1910 and 1913 and inspired by Pompeian excavations — provide a rare outdoor setting for celebrations. Wisteria pergolas, turtle pond fountains, sculpted marble busts of Greek philosophers, a bronze elephant from the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, and a medieval Italian wishing well create a landscape unlike any other in the Midwest.
