My Favorite Wedding Venues in Northwest Indiana

Choosing the right venue is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make while planning your wedding. The venue sets the tone for your celebration, influences your décor style, and creates the backdrop for memories you’ll cherish forever. As a Northwest Indiana wedding florist, I’ve had the privilege of designing florals at some of the area’s most beautiful venues, and today I’m sharing my favorites. From rustic barns to elegant ballrooms, these Northwest Indiana wedding venues each bring their own unique charm to your big day.

Journeyman Distillery – Valparaiso

If you love a space that feels warm, industrial, and a little bit edgy, Journeyman Distillery in Valpo is a dream. The exposed brick and wood beams create the perfect backdrop for greenery, candlelight, and bold floral installs. It’s an amazing blend of historic charm and modern style—ideal for couples who want a wedding that feels both relaxed and refined.

Fair Oaks Farms – Fair Oaks

Fair Oaks Farms is such a unique and versatile wedding venue. It’s a working farm, so it offers both rustic charm and wide-open country views. This venue has an elegant, welcoming feel that’s perfect for couples who love nature and want a laid-back yet beautiful atmosphere.

Whispering Oaks – DeMotte

Tucked away in DeMotte, Whispering Oaks is a hidden gem among Northwest Indiana wedding venues. This venue feels intimate and romantic, surrounded by natural beauty. I especially love how well floral arches and statement ceremony pieces work here—it’s the kind of space where nature and florals take center stage.

Allure on the Lake – Chesterton

Allure on the Lake is exactly what it sounds like: elegant and right by the water. The bright, airy spaces are gorgeous for timeless weddings, and the lakeside views make for unforgettable photos. Florals here really shine in crisp whites, lush greens, or colorful garden-style arrangements. It’s a perfect spot for couples who love a fresh and modern aesthetic.

The Grand – Crown Point

If you’re looking for a true show-stopping ballroom, The Grand in Crown Point is a standout. It’s luxurious, spacious, and perfect for couples who want a black-tie vibe with plenty of room to dance the night away. Floral centerpieces, statement bar arrangements, and dramatic entry arrangements fit right in with the elegance of this space.

Aberdeen Manor Ballroom – Valparaiso

Classic and romantic, Aberdeen Ballroom in Valpo has such a timeless charm. The chapel and reception hall are both beautiful, and it’s the kind of venue that allows florals to truly elevate the overall look. From soft pastels to bold color palettes, everything feels right at home here.

Final Thoughts

Every couple has a different vision for their wedding, and the right venue is where that vision starts to take shape. I love working at each of these Northwest Indiana wedding venues because they all offer something unique, and florals bring out the best in every space. If you’re starting your venue search—or if you’ve already booked one of these favorites—I’d love to help you dream up the floral designs that make your day feel authentically you.
