Celebrate love at a wedding venue where natural charm meets heartfelt tradition.
Nestled in the rolling hills of Southern Indiana, Paris Park is a 24-acre property surrounded by serene farmland, breathtaking sunsets, and a peaceful lake. Our venue offers everything you need to create the wedding of your dreams, from a lakeside ceremony to a pavilion and a modern barn (with a rustic feel) for your reception.
As a veteran-owned and family-operated venue, Paris Park was built to give couples a stress-free and unforgettable experience. With the charm of a backyard wedding—but without the stress—our inclusive packages, beautiful spaces, and day of support ensure your day is as magical as your love story.
Exchange your vows at our serene lakeside ceremony area, surrounded by the natural beauty of Southern Indiana. A stamped concrete pathway leads you and your guests from the Pavilion to the water’s edge, where breathtaking views set the stage for your special moment.
The Pavilion at Paris Park features 1,800 square feet of covered space, plus an additional 1,200 square feet of open concrete dance floor—perfect for outdoor receptions, cocktail hours, or a lively game area.
Our climate-controlled barn offers 2,400 square feet of rustic charm, making it the perfect setting for an intimate dinner or a cozy indoor reception. Finished with warm white pine interiors and ambient lighting, the Barn blends rustic elegance with modern comfort.
At Paris Park, we’ve created two separate, fully equipped suites to make your wedding day preparations comfortable and stress-free. The Bride’s Suite and Groom’s Suite offer high-speed internet, large mirrors, and a mini fridge to keep drinks and snacks close by for you and your wedding party. Whether it’s touching up makeup, sharing laughs with bridesmaids, or suiting up with your groomsmen, these spaces are perfect for creating unforgettable moments before you walk down the aisle.
Meet Isabelle, Audrey & Traveler
Our Highland cow Isabelle (expecting her calf soon!) and our friendly horses, Audrey and Traveler (see our photo gallery for these beauties), add a special touch of charm to Paris Park. Be sure to say hello during your visit—they may even pose for a photo with you. Their presence makes the countryside atmosphere of Paris Park truly unforgettable.
People often ask why we named our venue Paris Park. The short answer is that it honors my grandfather, Pop, whose last name was Paris. But the full story is so much more meaningful.
Growing up, I spent many summers with Pop. He worked for the Parks Department and knew all the best parks to visit. Together, we spent countless hours camping, fishing, and exploring nature. Those experiences shaped my love for the outdoors and deepened my appreciation for parks—values that Pop instilled in me from a young age.
But Pop’s influence went beyond those joyful summers. He was a World War II combat veteran, a man of quiet strength and resilience. As a child, I noticed the scars on his legs from bullet wounds and shrapnel, silent reminders of his bravery. He rarely spoke about the war, but I could sense its weight through the stories others told and the scars I couldn’t see.
One unforgettable night, I woke to hear a blood-curdling scream. I found Pop on the floor, trembling and haunted by a nightmare. My grandmother explained, “It’s the war,” but as a child, I didn’t fully understand. Over the years, I learned more about the horrors he endured—days spent in a foxhole beside his fallen friend and burdens he carried in silence.
When I returned from my own service in the Persian Gulf, I asked him again about his experiences. Even then, he simply shook his head. I’ll never know the full story, but what Pop taught me is clear: some wounds never heal, and some scars can’t be seen.
Paris Park is my way of honoring Pop’s legacy—a tribute to his strength, his love of nature, and the lessons he passed down. I hope he’s proud of the way we’ve created a space where love and connection flourish. Someday, I hope we’ll sit down again, and maybe then, he’ll share his story with me.
Rest in peace, Pop.
At Paris Park, we honor Pop and American veterans by creating a space for love, connection in a beautiful setting. As part of our commitment, we proudly offer discounts to military personnel and first responders, recognizing their sacrifices and the invaluable service they provide to our nation and communities.
