A Rustic Sanctuary with Timeless Appeal
The Wedding Barn: A Rustic Sanctuary with Timeless Appeal
Step through an arbor draped in wisteria into a courtyard filled with raised garden beds and seasonal blooms—this inviting outdoor garden offers a serene, colorful prelude to your ceremony. Inside, vintage church pews and twinkling lights set a romantic, cozy ambiance for exchanging vows. The round barn design ensures your special day is shielded from wind or rain, while the vine-covered courtyard creates breathtaking photo backdrops that brides adore.
The Party Room: Elegance Meets Versatility
For receptions and various gatherings, the roomy Party Room dazzles with globe chandeliers, draped ceilings, market lights, and a striking three-tiered lighted fountain surrounded by greens and twinkles. Whether you’re hosting a wedding reception, bridal shower, family reunion, or business meeting, this space adapts beautifully to your needs. It includes essentials like a full warming kitchen, new accessible restrooms, tables and chairs, and even a PowerPoint projector with a screen—perfect for presentations or toasts.

MICHIANA'S EVENT SPECIALITS
Amenities That Elevate Every Event
OUR SPACE
Guest Capacity: Up to 300 for full events. Half-day gatherings (e.g., showers, reunions, meetings) accommodate up to 100 guests using half of the party room.
Pricing: Weekend wedding packages (barn + party room for up to 300 guests) start at $4,000, with an additional $500 for the bridal suite. Half-day events (5 hours or less), including tables and chairs for up to 100 guests, are $350. Other listings note full-day event rentals at around $2,000, and partial-day rentals at $350, depending on the package.
BRIDAL SUITE
Metzger Event Center’s “Lady Bird” bridal suite is designed for a calm, pampered start to the day. It includes a full kitchen, comfortable lounge, three dedicated hair-and-makeup stations, a flat-screen TV, and a private restroom. An island bar makes it easy to set out mimosas or a light lunch for the wedding party. Couples can add both suites for a $500 rental, providing coordinated spaces for the bride and groom’s parties.
GROOMS SUITE
Metzger Event Center’s groom’s suite gives the guys a private, laid-back space to get ready and relax before the ceremony. It offers comfortable lounge seating and a dedicated dressing area so suits, ties, and boutonnieres stay organized. Plenty of counter space makes it easy to stage snacks and refreshments while everyone preps. With everything close at hand on-site, the groom’s party can stay on schedule and stress-free.
Why Metzger Gardens Stands Out:
Unparalleled ambiance with a rustic barn, courtyard gardens, and glowing interiors. A full-service approach covers décor rentals, florist services, bar options, and even an ice cream machine add-on. Cutting-edge amenities include a projector and screen, climate control, accessible facilities, and extensive parking. Pricing is transparent and value-driven for weddings and a wide range of event types, and the venue’s versatility makes it ideal for corporate meetings, family gatherings, milestone celebrations, and more.
Plan with Ease. Celebrate in Style.
Whether you’re planning an elegant wedding, a milestone celebration, or a polished corporate gathering, Metzger Gardens brings it all together with ease. The team is thoughtful and responsive, guiding you through the details so your day feels effortless. The setting blends rustic warmth with modern comfort, creating a backdrop that photographs beautifully and welcomes every guest. When you’re ready to see it in person, schedule a tour and start imagining your event taking shape.
