“Angelique and the entire staff at Duneland were amazing to work with. They have so much included in their wedding packages with decorations and many extras that no other venues had. They did an incredible job on our centerpieces and decorations and working with our theme. Their prices were less than most other nearby venues, which was impressive given all that they included. Angelique really cared about making our wedding day special and how we pictured it. And the staff on our wedding day were all very kind and responsive to feedback. Highly recommend them.”

“Me and my husband just got married here on January 6, 2024!!! It was such a fun night! We had the ceremony and reception there so guests wouldn’t have to drive far and what not. It’s crazy how much they have to offer they truly are a one stop shop… especially now that they are also selling wedding dresses! Our coordinator was Renee and she was the best! Planned everything down to a T. They really know what they’re doing there! She guided me and Tyler through the day so we truly got to enjoy the party! It was the best day ever for us and one we will never forgot… and Aberdeen Manor is all to blame lol!”
“This place is amazing! I have been to several events here and every single time everything has been breathtaking. The owner puts so much thought into every detail. The food is always good. The drinks are delicious! The balloon arches are a work of art! The hall is decorated so cute inside. 10 out of 10!”

Huge shout out to Tyler for going out of his way and wearing several hats to ensure that her night was perfect. The love and devotion that he puts into his job is hard to come across these days. Thank you for all you did!!”
“Love the large rear social center, huge dance floor, even some space in rear to practice dance steps. Ballroom themed dancing on Tuesday evenings from 7:30 to 10:30 for $10, includes earlier ballroom dance lesson from 7 to 7:30, then can practice those steps at times over next 3 hours. Only negative: cash bar only but drinks reasonably priced.”
“Went for a conference. Lots of parking. Nice facilities. Don't know where lunch came from (in house or catered?), but it was really good.It was really bright outside, so it was hard to see speakers standing in front of giant windows with curtains open behind them.”
“We couldn't have dreamed of a better place to host our wedding reception! Quick shout out to Ginelle for working with us to make our day unique and special. Although we had an overcast/rainy day, we ended up having the entire beach and building to ourselves! The clouds lightened up just in time for the sunset, giving us and our guests the best possible sunset view. The historic red brick pavilion made for a beautiful venue that our guests loved. We had mixed feedback on food, so we highly recommend attending the food tasting so that you make the right decision for you and your guests. (At the end of the day wedding food wasn't our first priority). We highly recommend this venue if you are looking for a beach wedding in the Northwest Indiana!”
“This establishment is clean and organized. They have a separate play area for toddlers and is reasonably priced. I love taking my kiddos here when it’s too hot or raining outside. This place is air conditioned and has ample seating. They also have a water fountain for the children.”
