A June Wedding at Pollard House

While work still continues to prepare Pollard House for the public, we were able to host a private family wedding and put this elegant home to the test. She passed with flying colors! The flow between formal spaces is natural and fluid, allowing guests to pass from festivities to respite with ease. For us, she provided a gracious and elegant backdrop for a beatiful day shared with family and friends. What a perfect way to honor our son and his bride!

We hope to be able to offer our community the same opportunity in the coming months. We are working through the levels of approval, but when the all clear is finally in our hands, we will move mountains to be ready for you and your events. Apologies and gratitude to those who have inquired about reservations. We are anxious to swing our doors wide open and welcome you in!

Angie and Troy Janes

After years of searching for the perfect space for entertaining a crowd in style, I was blown away by the potential and beauty of the Pollard-Nelson house. I shared my find with Troy and in September of 2022, our dream became reality. We purchased the stately historic home on the corner of Market and 7th in downtown Logansport.

We are thrilled to share our love for entertaining with the community of Logansport. I enjoy hosting all kinds of events, including weddings, dinners, meetings, showers, and parties. I love the challenge of turning friends' and clients' ideas into stunning reality. My husband Troy is a professor of accounting at Purdue by day, but by night he is a gracious host. We are both excited to serve and develop friendships in our new community.

Please stop in and say hi. We look forward to meeting you and helping you make your special occasions events to remember.

Services Coming Soon

We at Pollard House are working hard, polishing and refinishing as we prepare to offer elegant, personalized events in a stately, historic venue. We look forward to making your event exactly what you want with options ranging from full service and design to basic space rental. We will customize to your pleasure and budget. Until we're up and running, take a peek at some of our past events.

Christmas Party Dinner

Holidays naturally bring family and friends together to celebrate. A festive table provides the backdrop for what really matters— the memories.

Attending the Bride

Helping a bride feel special on her wedding day is paramount. Her priority may be a complex tablescape or a quiet moment with the dress. If it matters to her, it matters to us.

Backyard Wedding

Perfect weather and nature's backdrop set the ideal stage for soft, citrusy tones of this backyard spring wedding.

Easter Dinner

As the earth emerges from the soft grays of winter, a spring table with fresh, vivid greens reflects the vitality of the Easter season.

Blooming Hoop Centerpiece

Creativity can stretch a small budget to provide elegance and beauty. These centerpieces came together with Dollar Tree florals and Jenga blocks!

Spring Menu

Fresh, seasonal offerings delight guests and elevate food to fine dining. Pollard House is working with the finest caterers in the area to provide menus that inspire.

Sweet Independence Day

Red, white, blue—ooh! Flag-inspired cupcakes are a crowd-pleaser for this casual 4th of July pic-nic.

Melon Salad

Successful events occur when every detail is considered. We like our cucumbers to have a crunch and our melon to be ripe and bursting with flavor. At Pollard House, we see to all these details so you don't have to.

Grillin' Grad Party

Sometimes all that is needed to take a casual burger meal to the next level is a variety of spreads. Keeping it casual while upping the end result is a win!

Pavlova

A bird-inspired tablescape is augmented by a light and zesty pavlova nest dessert.

The Bouquet

Pollard House has established relationships with local florists and flower farms to provide the perfect florals for every occasion.

What's for dinner?

A hoedown chalk menu board perched on a red gingham tablecloth beckons guests to kick back and enjoy some midwest hospitality!

Pantry Wedding Shower

Looking for a quirky centerpiece for your event? We think outside of the box. Stacks of pantry staples wrapped in decorative labels form the centerpieces for this pantry shower. Bonus: the bride can use them to get started on filling her pantry!

Festive Cupcakes

Pollard House has relationships with some of the finest bakers around. These wedding cupcakes feature hand-formed flowers in the wedding colors, nestled in a swirl of delicious cream-cheese frosting.

Italian Soda Floats & Popcorn Bar

Does ice cream in Italian soda float your boat? What about popcorn with dozens of mix-ins? These were just what the hostess ordered for this laid-back game night event.
