A New Central Indiana Wedding Venue Begins to Take Shape

Watching a dream move from vision to reality is a powerful experience. At The Farm at Hickory Bend, that moment is happening right now. With foundations being poured and structures beginning to rise, our future wedding venue is officially taking shape in the heart of Central Indiana.

These aerial images capture more than construction progress. They tell the story of a place being built with purpose, faith, and a deep commitment to creating meaningful celebrations for couples and families across Indiana.

Building a Wedding Venue Rooted in Faith and Family

The Farm at Hickory Bend was created with a simple belief. Your wedding day should feel personal, peaceful, and warm. From the earliest planning stages, every detail has been guided by values of hospitality, care, and genuine connection.

As a family-owned and faith-centered wedding venue in Central Indiana, our goal is to provide more than just a beautiful location. We are building a place where traditional couples feel supported, families feel welcome, and memories are created with intention.

The foundations you see in these photos represent the start of our chapel, reception hall, and bridal and groom suites. Each space has been thoughtfully designed to serve couples who are searching for an Indiana wedding venue that blends elegance with heartfelt hospitality.

A Look at Our Chapel, Reception Hall, and Bridal Cottage

One of the most exciting parts of this stage is watching each building begin to take form.

The Chapel

Our country chapel will offer a peaceful, light filled setting for ceremonies. Designed for couples who value faith, tradition, and personal expression, this space offers a beautiful indoor option while maintaining a natural, welcoming feel. It will also serve as a part of our "Fairweather Guarantee", ensuring peace of mind for outdoor ceremonies.

The Reception Hall

The main reception hall is being built to comfortably host up to 250 guests. With open layouts, natural materials, and thoughtful design elements, this space will reflect the charm of an upscale rustic wedding venue in Indiana while delivering modern comfort and flexibility. We also offer a wide range of decorations for brides to choose from!

The Bridal Cottage and Groom’s Suite

Getting ready should feel calm and enjoyable. Our bridal cottage and groom’s suite are designed to provide private, comfortable spaces for couples and their wedding parties to relax, prepare, and enjoy the moments before the ceremony.

Seeing these foundations from above gives a clear picture of how these spaces will come together to form one seamless and welcoming venue.
