Sandy Pines Wedding Venue
(Thoughts from a local wedding photographer who works there often)
A Pavilion at Sandy Pines wedding will always be beautiful!
The Pavilion at Sandy Pines is a breathtaking outdoor venue situated in the scenic rural area of De Motte, Indiana, surrounded by lush trees and fairways.
This venue offers one of the most exceptional bridal suites that I have ever had the pleasure of working in. It is a spacious home located right next to the ceremony area, providing ample room for large bridal parties to get ready. The bridal suite features an expansive kitchen and a dedicated room for grooms and groomsmen. There are numerous areas for everyone to spread out and prepare for the big day. Hair salons would be envious of this space!
Your hair and makeup team will have access to incredible lighting and will not be in each other’s way, even when working with a larger bridal party.
There are so many great hair and Makeup artists close by, so if you are having a Sandy Pines wedding you will find many options, and most would have worked there before. I often bump into Krissy from Krissy V Makeup here. She is just awesome!
Sandy Pines Has An Amazing Ceremony Site!
The ceremony site itself is surrounded by serene nature and conveniently located adjacent to the reception area, making it an incredibly practical choice for guests. They will appreciate that everything takes place in one centralized location. Furthermore, during the ceremony, guests will be pleased that the sun tends to be out of their faces. There is a lovely long path way as you enter the ceremony site. Awesome for photos of the bridal party entrances, flower girl, or a huge over six foot tall flower guy should you choose haha.
This flower man was so much fun. He walked in with flowers and walked out handing out beers.
At this wedding in the photo above, it had rained all morning. The wonderful staff at Sandy Pines managed to mop all the chairs up and get the site ready in half an hour, just in time to have an outdoor ceremony still. The water actually gave us some wonderful reflection photos.

As the sun sets, a gentle breeze from the nearby golf course keeps the reception area cool and comfortable.
Additionally, the patio area, equipped with a stone enclosed fire pit, provides the perfect setting for guests to relax and enjoy a few drinks. Many couples even choose to set up a s’mores station at the fire pit, adding a delightful touch to the festivities.
