3 Fat Labs Wedding & Event Barn

Beautiful!!! Attended a wedding here. The space & staff were excellent. Although only beer & wine were open bar, the mixed drinks were very fairly priced! The Great: the venue The Good: parking, staff, the groundsThe Bad: naThe Ugly: naNo spider webs, clean bathrooms, perfect size!

What a beautiful wedding venue. Parking attendants directed us to park in a grassy field. Golf carts shuttled guests who didn't want to walk. High heels and the gravel road don't mix well. Be warned--an outdoor July wedding at 4:30 in the afternoon is blazing hot. We opted for standing in the shade on a raised deck with a great view of the entire ceremony. This couple provided guests with fans that had the wedding program on one side and their picture on the other. Amidst a pandemic, I'm questioning the choice of fans. Indoors was air conditioned with seating and a bar on the main floor and upstairs. The second floor is a loft with a single row of tables and chairs looking down on main floor. Bartenders were friendly, some of the staff wore masks, some of the time. The air wasn't cooling the building and after a heavy thunderstorm, outside was cooler, so the doors were opened and a huge fan used to get some cross ventilation going. It was actually nicer outside among the tall trees. There's covered outdoor seating and a paved area where many guests hung out. With a DJ playing it was easier to visit and talk outdoors, perhaps safer too. When we returned to our vehicle at the end of the night, we discovered most people parked by us were stuck in mud and the owner was pulling us out with his truck. A little muddy, but no damage done to my SUV and an exciting finish to a fabulous event. AC not working well, overflow parking in what became a muddy mess were the only negatives. I imagine the deluge was atypical, but AC needs attention, not out of their control.

One of the coolest wedding venues I have ever visited. It would be wonderful if there were accommodations close, since it is so far and tucked away. Otherwise, the photos at this venue are breathtaking! I would recommend!

Last minute due to weather issues I needed a place to stay overnight near Depauw University. My daughter looked up places on the Depauw website and knowing I'm a dog lover she called 3 Fat Labs first. They had a room. The whole bed and breakfast is immaculately clean and my room was no exception. The bed was the most comfortable bed I've slept on in ages! (Better than my bed at home) Tanya asked what I would like for breakfast and I awoke to eggs, toast and coffee. Bill makes the homemade jam and it is fabulous! I started talking to Bill and Tanya before I left the next day and felt like I've known them forever. I HIGHLY recommend staying at 3 Fat Labs. I'll be back!
