About Us: Our Origin Story

Once upon a playlist, gMedia Events was just two humans (Chris with the turntables, Laura with the big décor dreams) road-tripping all over Indianapolis to every venue that would let us plug in an AUX cord. Each trip ended with the same sentence:

“If this were our place, we’d totally add… [insert wild idea here].”

Fast-forward through countless late-night tacos, a million “Cha Cha Slide” requests, and one colossal dream—BOOM!

We snagged a slice of rolling-hill heaven in Brown County and now own the venue we couldn’t stop imagining.

What Makes Us Different

(Besides Chris’s dad jokes)

Whether you’re planning a barefoot-in-the-grass soirée or a black-tie barn blowout, our goal is simple:
Turn your “OMG, could we?” into “OMG, we DID!”

We blend:

• Rustic charm (Warm, Wooden Interior and Twinkle-Light Ceilings)

• Modern sparkle (4 Indoor Bathrooms, and Wi-Fi for live-streaming Grandma in Florida)

• Zero-stress Planning (Our Online Portal is basically a wedding to-do list on espresso)

All wrapped in that signature Brown County warmth—think porch-sittin’ meets champagne-sippin’.

Meet Chris Duvall — The Beat-Droppin’, Project-Buildin’ Brainiac

By day, he’s the entrepreneurial mastermind and construction designer who turns dreams (and a whole lot of lumber) into The Barn at Timber Ridge. By night—okay, by reception—he’s behind the decks dropping the perfect track just when your great-aunt needs motivation to bust out “the sprinkler.” Tech glitches? He squashes them faster than you can say “Bluetooth isn’t connecting.” Need him? Text, email, carrier pigeon—Chris answers quicker than the bass hits on a Pitbull remix.

When he’s not tweaking lighting rigs or sketching the next jaw-dropping barn upgrade, Chris is obsessing over guest-flow logistics, making sure every toast sounds crystal-clear, and sneaking in jokes that make even the most stressed-out bride crack a smile. With years of DJ experience, a knack for construction design, and a Rolodex of dad jokes no one asked for (but everyone enjoys), Chris keeps Brown County weddings running smoother than a fresh-waxed dance floor. Bottom line: if it blinks, booms, or builds, Chris has it covered—so you can focus on happy-crying your way down the aisle.

Meet Laura Duvall — the Creative Spark Behind the Barn

Part wedding-day fairy godmother, part marketing maven, Laura Duvall is the pixel-perfect powerhouse who makes Brown County weddings look (and feel) like they just leapt off your inspo board. Armed with creative genius, a bottomless coffee mug, and a never-ending playlist of feel-good tunes, she transforms meh spaces into masterpieces. When she’s not organizing inventory or hunting down the dreamiest linen swatches, you’ll find her fine-tuning SEO strategy and sprinkling brand magic over every corner of The Barn at Timber Ridge.

An entrepreneur to the core, Laura founded gMedia Events with her husband Chris, bootstrapped it into a full-service celebration factory, and then leveled-up again by having a venue of their own. Her secret sauce? A mix of fearless creativity, data-driven marketing chops, and the belief that businesses—and brides—shine brightest when people feel like part of the family. Whether she’s designing a floral-draped altar or mapping a social campaign that would make Meta jealous, Laura’s mission is simple: help couples fall head-over-heels for their day and stay madly in love with the memories.
