The process of booking Fountain Square as the venue was simple. She simply filled out an application and contacted the wedding coordinator. She described the atmosphere as historical. Fountain Square’s ballroom has tall, stenciled ceilings, as well as carpeting. The kitchen, dance floor, as well as views of the courthouse and the square. The ballroom housed one hundred guests out of its one hundred and fifty people capacity. Fountain square enables hosts to choose their own caterers. Darcy went with local favorite Sugar Daddies catering. Her friend Kyle Chambers was the DJ. The ceremony, a lush campus wedding at Rosewill House, was themed boho chic and rose gold. Seven bridesmaids, consisting of her sisters and best friends, sported different dresses in different colors. A “cohesive vintage look” was the intention. For Darcy and her now husband Aaron’s first date, they attended wine and canvas for a fun, casual and easy date since they already were so familiar with each other. The proposal took place at the baby shower, and luckily was caught on video. Darcy was unwrapping her gifts, when her friend mentioned that she had forgotten one of them. It was a big box with a card with Aaron’s promise to spend his future with Darcy and their baby with the ring in the box. Aaron’s brother sang “Can’t Help Falling In Love” while they danced. Darcy prioritizes communication in her marriage: “you both have to be on the same level.” Darcy characterizes herself as a “girly girl” but participates in a “glamping” get together every year centered around a float trip down current river Missouri and spanning 3-4 days with fifty other participants. Fountain Square is a larger venue than meets the eye. The lower level at Fountain Square offers an intimate space with an indoor fountain for smaller sized weddings. According to their website, an exclusive package can be purchased including both the ballroom and the fountain on the lower level to host both a wedding and reception. This setup optimizes convenience: “the split level spaces keep guests engaged and encourage more socialization and interaction by moving level to level.” The package also includes use of digital screens in the Atriums. Fountain Square is an ideal venue for any couple looking to implement an elegant or historical twist in their celebration. wg 812-334-0553 • bloomingtonarthurmurray.com HT-782646-1 8 2020 SOUTH-CENTRAL INDIANA WEDDING GUIDE
