Our story
A wedding venue in Bloomington, Indiana, built around a simple belief: people matter. We combine a beautiful Brown County setting with thoughtful, personal care.
Welcome to our dream come true! We are Nick and Diane, the proud owners of The Wilds. We were wed on October 1, 2016 and have been on a wildly fun adventure ever since. We enjoy life with our daughter, Bailey, and our fur babies, Gus and Captain in Indianapolis, but love escaping to our oasis at The Wilds.
The Wilds combines all we are passionate about: love, families, hosting, experiences, collaboration, and growth. We are forever building an event space that checks off every “must have” on your list while still feeling like a home away from home. With each memorable experience, we beam with excitement when all the details and hard work come to life to give you an unforgettable celebration.
But most of all, we love the relationship building that happens at The Wilds. Every unique event held means we grow our community bigger, and for that, we are truly grateful and love what we do. See what it is all about. Come celebrate, and Stay Wilds!

The Wilds is an amazing venue! It gives off all the JoAnna Gaines vibes, which is exactly what I wanted. The Wild’s laid out every resource for me, so planning was a breeze. This venue is a dream. If I could have my wedding there again, I would!
