Sprawling lawns welcome visitors as they drive onto the elegant grounds of the Biddle Point Inn and Event Venue. The award-winning boutique hotel and event venue, open since 2019, is led by Owner Sarah Norris, who has weaved her hospitality expertise into thoughtfully developed expansion plans that include larger public events, more robust corporate engagement, and a spring market and wine event.
The luxurious interior of Biddle Point invites visitors and guests to enjoy a quiet moment alone or treasured time with friends and loved ones. Each of the 14 guest rooms features carefully curated fabrics and essential care items. A full remodel of each guest bathroom will begin this year, so guests can anticipate a brand-new, timeless look to accentuate their stay. The seasonal demand for availability may play into future plans for additional guest occupancy.
Biddle Point celebrates a strong repeat customer base with area schools, camps and university patrons, and has capacity for more guests. Norris welcomes even more corporate and business travel clients during weekdays and offers a competitive corporate rate. “We enjoy strong corporate partnerships with businesses in the community, and we’d like to add to that list of partnerships,” says Norris.
To accommodate events of varying size and format, Biddle Point offers hourly rentals for event spaces. There is a four-hour minimum for rental spaces. Check the website and local publications for regular promotions each month to meet the needs of last-minute dates and early bookings.
Norris says her team is happy to work with any client and strive to meet any budget.
“Because we are a small business and not corporately driven, we have a personality and willingness to work with everyone we possibly can,” Norris said. “Just afford us the conversation and opportunity. You’ll be glad you did.”
Norris is also eager to accommodate more retreats for local and regional churches, as well as conferences focused on marriage, ministry, foster and adoptive ministries, and other weekend retreats. Contact Biddle Point to learn about competitive group rates for the right event space.
Biddle Point regularly supports local fundraisers with auction donations. Biddle Point offers a nonprofit rate for any nonprofit group wanting to host their event on-site. Events with a Purpose is a program through which local community groups host an event at Biddle Point with a portion of proceeds benefitting a charitable organization. Recent groups who have collaborated with Biddle Point for their event include Reason Enough to Act of Elkhart County, Family Christian Development Center in Nappanee, and Cultivate Food Rescue in South Bend. Biddle Point invites local groups to learn more about hosting events, and Norris hopes to work with the Neighborhood Center this year.
Last year many successful celebrations filled the calendar, including weddings, bridal and baby showers, birthdays, special dinners, communions, and celebration-of-life events. Norris says corporate Christmas parties were a large success last year. The second annual Christmas Market is already on the calendar, with plans to grow beyond the event facility into an outdoor space to accommodate more seasonal visitors.
Biddle Point Florals is a full-service event design service for any venue, not limited to events or clients at Biddle Point. The design team can deliver and set up at any venue, including funeral services. Biddle Point Luxury Event Florals, while a new addition to the business, is a very seasoned and capable event department with more than 20 years of combined floral experience.
Norris affirms that Biddle Point’s mission remains rooted in a biblical verse from the book of Hebrews. “We cherish that Biddle Point continues to exist by his grace, working through his timing and all for his glory,” Norris says. “Come and experience the infusion of hospitality at Biddle Point.”
