Appropriate Rural Weddings at the Story Inn

We believe the Story Inn to be Indiana's most desirable place for weddings, large and small. It's a place of unparalleled natural beauty, a historic 19th century village surrounded by forest, and fields with grazing horses. It's a place where you can enjoy elegant food, music, and wines in a rural, rustic setting.

Facilities:

We offer several ideal places for your wedding ceremony: more than 20 acres of barns, exquisitely tended gardens, ponds, historic buildings (including a 19th Century grain mill), forests, and fields.  It is impossible for us to adequately describe these unique facilities; even pictures cannot do them justice. We therefore encourage you to visit us for a leisurely tour.

Dining:

We can accommodate groups of up to 80 people in the General Store, and 35 people on the Porch or 40 in the Old Mill.  We recently restored the Old Mill, which now has a hickory floor and pine walls from locally-harvested trees. In mild weather, we can accommodate larger groups at the Old Barn, or at other lovely locations on the property, under a tent.  On Saturdays, the Old Barn is available only to parties of 100 or more.  A facility rental fee may apply.


Menus:

We offer three elegant menu packages: "The Figaro", at $35/person; "The Four Seasons" at $45/person, and "The Pastoral" at $55/person.  We can customize your wedding meal within each package.  These menus are only offered buffet-style to groups of 100 or more.  In the event your wedding party is 15 or fewer, you may wish to simply order off our dinner menu and select a wine from our wine list or a beer from our beer list. 


Accoutrements:

We can provide or arrange for many additional items and services: tents, tables & chairs, cakes for the bride and groom, ice sculptures, flowers, custom decorations, DJ, band, photographer, video, and carriage rides.  We can even provide a Chamber Music ensemble (Duo Amabile being pictured below, left).  The owner's daughter, Ingrid Hofstetter, (pictured below, right) is a classically-trained soprano who can perform at your wedding.    

                              

Let us help you plan your special day!

Postscript:

We have flexible pricing for those who schedule their ceremonies on Friday or Sunday.

We will also offer helpful suggestions as to how you can economize while preserving elegance. Call Erin Drake, Events Coordinator, (800) 881-1183 to begin planning today!
