FACILITY DESCRIPTION
The Willows is a gorgeous lakefront property, nestled on 20 private wooded acres, located at 6729 Westfield Boulevard. Our convenient location is easily accessible for you and your guests. We are situated between Meridian St. and Keystone Ave., just south of 86th St. If your guests are looking for activities before or after your event, our location is just minutes away from Keystone at the Crossing, 86th St. corridor and Broad Ripple Village.
The Willows offers four distinct event spaces from which to choose, varying in size and décor. The property consists of the Willows Ballrooms, the Lodge, the Wedding Garden and the Cabin.
THE BALLROOMThe main lobby is adorned in rich woods, stone and textured fabrics. Upon entering the Ballroom, the sophisticated décor offers pendant chandeliers, white wainscoted walls, built-in bars embellished with granite tops and beautiful fireplaces to frame the room. The view from the ballroom sets the mood with your own private terrace overlooking the lake.
THE LODGEThe Lodge is situated on the south end of the property under a canopy of century old trees and lush greenery on a lakeside setting, complete with an outdoor patio, outdoor decks and fire pits with stunning vistas. The interior is a unique blend of cozy fireplaces, vintage mirrors and crystal chandeliers that create an old-world charm. Windows line the span of the 5,700 square foot Lodge overlooking the 13 acre lake with a large deck extending out over the water.
THE CABIN
The Cabin is adjacent to the Lodge and may be entered from a private entrance or through an interior connecting door from the Lodge. It offers 500 square feet of space complete with an open living area, mini kitchen and bathroom. It may be used in conjunction with the Lodge for a dressing area, private den or separately for small meetings and receptions. The Cabin opens onto a 28x50 ft patio, which includes stone fire pits to create an indoor/outdoor setting overlooking the lake.

OUTDOOR CEREMONIES
Stage & Runway
THE GARDENNestled between a wooded backdrop and lakefront vista, our romantic wedding garden offers a breathtaking venue for your ceremony. Fall in love with our beautiful white pergola set in gorgeous seasonal florals, and be captivated by our extended aisle along the lake.
Unlike most other outdoor ceremony options in Indianapolis, we can move your ceremony inside should the weather not cooperate on the big day!
If you have always envisioned an outdoor wedding ceremony, our Garden is a perfect location to make your dreams come true.
