Maple Lane Pavilion FAQs
ANWYERE May we use our own vendors?
Yes, you may select your own vendors. We do not have any requirements on who to use for catering, music, etc.
Can we have alcohol during the reception?
Yes, however alcohol is only allowed through a licensed and insured bartending company in compliance with Indiana State Excise requirements. A temporary beer and wine permit is required. The beer/wine permit only allows beer, wine, champagne, and malt-based beverages to be served. NO liquor is allowed ANYWHERE on the property. Violation of this rule will result in eviction from the property. You can find instructions about the beer/wine permit here: https://www.in.gov/atc/files/2015_Temp_Permit_App_Instructions.pdf
*For any 2022 weddings, please refer to your contract regarding alcohol and liquor rules.
How long can our reception last?
Music must be turned off by 10pm. All guests, trash, and personal wedding items must be off the property by 11pm.
*For any 2022 weddings, please refer to your contract regarding music turn-off and ending timeframes.
How big is the reception building?
Our brown open-air barn is 3,200 square feet and can seat up to 200 people.
Do you provide coordinating?
NO. Everything listed under the pricing tab is what is provided at the venue. The reason why MLP is half the price of other barn/country venues in Hamilton County, is because we offer just the basics. Most of our clients are "DIY" brides and will either have family/friends to help or will hire day-of coordinators to help on the big day.
What is the rain plan?
In case of rain, the reception pavilion can be set up for an indoor ceremony. The white walls on the inside are a perfect neutral backdrop for ceremony photos!
Is the facility climate controlled?
The open-air barn is not climate controlled. There are barn doors on all sides of the building that are opened to allow breezes to come through. There are also three ceiling fans in the building to help with air flow. Some clients have used rental companies to rent fans, coolers, or heaters to use at their event.
How early can we set up and decorate?
You may arrive as early as 9:00am the day of your wedding to decorate.
Can we bring golf carts to shuttle handicapped guests across the property?
Yes, you may use golf carts for transportation of guests, but there must be a sober adult driver that is designated to drive the vehicle.
Can we have a wedding rehearsal?
Yes, a one hour wedding rehearsal is included in the wedding package. This time is used to practice only.
What are the restrooms like?
Our luxury restroom trailer has three restrooms: one men's room and two for women. They are air conditioned and have flushing toilets and sinks. There are two steps and a landing to reach the restrooms. Please see photo below:
