"When we visited The Hall at Oakland Park for the first time, we fell in love with the character of the stone fireplace, wooden ceilings and chandeliers inside the hall. The hall ,along with the beautiful 40 acres of land where we could have the ceremony, made our decision easy. The venue gave us a great location to bring in decorations and vendors to make our wedding exactly the way we wanted, and the hall was laid out well for our buffet-style dinner with a separate room for food and drinks. The willow trees and pond made a perfect backdrop for our ceremony and there were so many amazing places for pictures! As we look back after the wedding we couldn’t have asked for a better location and venue for our wedding. It really made it possible to create a day that people walked away from remembering the special touches that spoke of who we are as a couple."
-Chris & Gina, 2019 couple

"Located in the heart of Amish Country, Nappanee, Indiana is all about 'Embracing the Pace.' Every couple deserves to have an event that they can embrace as their 'pace.' The venue was originally designed for a recreation park for employees. Now it is an amenity-filled location for groups large and small."
