We were super-excited when this returning corporate client changed their venue to the brand-new Peter B. Orthwein Pavilion at the Northern Indiana Event Center (also sometimes inaccurately called the RV Hall of Fame). The Pavilion saw its first use this summer during Thor’s annual RV Dealer Week, but every other week of the year is available for public and private events. It features a very large open space, state of the art video capabilities, trendy string lighting, kitchen facilities, multiple overhead doors, and one of the largest paved parking lots in the county.
The Pavilion space was a perfect fit for this multi-national company who’s nearly 400 Middlebury Indiana employees needed plenty of room to eat and dance. The staff at the Pavilion was super-helpful and accommodating, and guests thoroughly enjoyed their time of celebration of a job well done in 2019. It was a beautiful evening too, with a deep red and purple sunset visible through all the glass overhead doors that wowed the guests as they dined on tasty buffet prepared by Nelsons.
After cocktails and dinner, employees enjoyed a spirited gift giving period, and then Sticky Boots opened up the dance floor and got employees out of their seats dancing for the rest of the evening. Guests made requests and got to hear everything they liked, and the company management commented this this year’s party saw the most dancing they’ve ever had at a holiday party. Great venue, great food, and superior entertainment is the recipe for party success, and that’s a gift that keeps giving all year long!
