Jeffery Banks

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Golden Image Photography made my son’s 16th birthday unforgettable. J was professional, creative, and patient—helping him relax and bringing out his natural confidence in front of the camera. Every shot captured his personality and this milestone perfectly. Fast turnaround, beautiful edits, and a great experience start to finish. I would highly recommend! Thank you for turning a milestone into memories we’ll keep forever!

Clare Corr

We had the absolute best experience with Raegan photographing our November wedding. From our very first consultation, she was incredibly thoughtful, organized, and transparent about the entire process. She took the time to understand our vision and made us feel completely at ease throughout planning. Her communication leading up to the wedding was outstanding- she helped us think through timelines, family photos, and all the little details that made the day run smoothly. On the wedding day itself, she was calm, professional, and such a joy to be around. She captured everything beautifully while still letting us be fully present with our family and friends. The final photos were stunning and delivered right when she said they would be. Raegan truly goes above and beyond for her clients, and we’re so grateful she documented such an important day for us. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Clare Corr ☆ 5/5
Rachel Vaughn

Can’t say enough good things about Clay House in general and our photographer, Jen Krampitz. I was blown away by the care, detail, and intentionality each individual we interacted with through Clay House put into their work and how they communicate with their clients throughout the wedding planning process. Raegan and Sara were super helpful with getting the process started and gathering information on what we were hoping our wedding day as a whole would look like. Raegan used that info to pair us up with Jen as our photographer who could not have been a more perfect match for us. Jen is a complete natural at what she does!! My husband and I are not people that typically love being in front of a camera and Jen made us feel so comfortable and so ourselves during our engagement session and wedding day. The sneak-peek pictures we got are stunning and we can’t wait to see the whole gallery. 10/10 would recommend Jen and Clay House to anyone ☺️

Rachel Vaughn ☆ 5/5
Zach Stewart

The best photographers /company ever! Our photographer Holyn was WONDERFUL. She was truly more than a photographer and kept us grounded the whole day. She is 100% into the wedding, easy to reach, & a wonderful person. Thank you SO MUCH! We love our pictures -Kayla & Zach Stewart.

Zach Stewart ☆ 5/5
Megan Coll

I couldn’t recommend Clay House enough. Raegan and her team shot our wedding but they did so much more. From the moment she got there she immediately eased any stress that I had. She kept everything flowing and made sure I was taken care of. They both made it not even seem like we were being photographed and the results were priceless pictures exhibiting true raw emotions of an amazing day. Not only was our wedding day so fantastic with Raegan, the entire process leading up to it was so easy and fun. She made my engagement shoot dreams come to life even when the weather wasn’t perfect. Working with her was such a great experience. We have so many beautiful pictures that capture who we are and our wedding day and we can’t thank her enough.

Megan Coll ☆ 5/5
Leila Bragg

Had the absolute BEST experience at our shoot with Clay House Photo! Raegan was so wonderful and made us forget we were even taking photos! Just felt like we were having a fun afternoon as a family, laughing and playing and enjoying each other. 🙂 I wasn’t sure how shooting with a 15 month old would be, but she made the whole experience seamless! The actual photos are so stunning and authentic, capturing our real joy and love for each other. So thankful to have these photos as precious memories of this sweet time in our lives!

Leila Bragg ☆ 5/5
Meredith Parks

If you’re looking for the best photographer your search should stop now!! Words can’t fully capture how incredible our experience was with Clay House and Raegan! From start to finish, she made everything so easy and enjoyable. Raegan’s approach was not only professional but also warm and personal, which made my husband and I feel completely at ease throughout our entire wedding day. The photographs are absolutely stunning—every moment was captured beautifully, and we were blown away by the artistry and attention to detail. Raegan didn’t just take pictures; she told the story of our day in the most magical way possible. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to preserve these special memories. Highly, highly recommend!

Meredith Parks ☆ 5/5
Maddi Wilson

My husband and I had the pleasure of having Raegan photograph our wedding in July. Neither of us are big on getting our picture taken but she made it feel so natural and comfortable for both of us. Since that day I’ve recommended Clay House to everyone I know! We love our pictures and plan on having more done with them in the future!

Richard Hanlon

The candlelight concert looks amazing. Note there are stairs. The concert is worth climbing them. The building is gorgeous.

Richard Hanlon ☆ 5/5
Samantha Purdue

This venue is an absolute dream. It was everything I envisioned my wedding to be. On top of it being beautiful, Jasmine, Summer and Cyrus were great to work with and very understanding of what I wanted and the budget I had. On the day of my wedding, jasmine was there to orchestrate everything and ensure all went as planned which made everything a breeze as I didn’t have a wedding planner or day of coordinator. As a full time employee, this venue was very accommodating of my time to see the venue- on numerous occasions, I saw the venue after 4pm. Cyrus also makes some of the most amazing props for your wedding day. Below you’ll see my sweetheart table that Cyrus handmade along with a favors stand and cake table that Cyrus also handmade. This venue is a dream to look at and even better to work with! Couldn’t recommend more.

Samantha Purdue ☆ 5/5
Greg Eakins

This is probably the best purpose for a church that I can imagine. We came and listened to a string quartet here play Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons and it was a great experience. The venue is small and cozy, and you can clearly hear the performance with amplification anywhere in the room. Parking is limited, but the small capacity makes it so that parking and entry is not chaos and queueing.

Greg Eakins ☆ 5/5
Scott F

This is a great date night event that is reasonably priced and makes for a memorable night. The legnth of time is perfect even though you are left with wanting more. I can recommend this to anyone that want to make an impression. Dress nice but it’s not formal.

Scott F ☆ 5/5
Bretta Thompson

Stunning venue located in downtown Indianapolis. Hold both your wedding and reception! Adorable coffee shop located inside. Bar service available. Located conveniently to Mass Ave and many hotels and restaurants.

Bretta Thompson ☆ 5/5
Elle

The Hip Hop Orchestra was a 10/10! It was so beautiful with the candlelight and very well organized. I love that they have 2 shows. I just hate that the hour had to end. They sound fantastic! I will definitely go again this summer to see the Adele or Beyoncé show.

Elle ☆ 5/5
Victoria Dodge

My husband and I had an amazing evening listening to the stringed quartet at Cyrus Place playing my favorite Abba songs. The candlelit setting was superb and the musicians extremely gifted!

Laura Simpson

Would absolutely recommend working with Shaindel at Raw Sugar Photography! We used her for our daughter’s newborn pictures and the whole experience was wonderful! Easy to book, easy and relaxing photo shoot, and excellent final photos! Shaindel made us feel welcome and at ease during the shoot, allowing us to have a snack and take a much needed break while she took care of our baby.

Laura Simpson ☆ 5/5
Megan Stare

We used Shaindel for maternity photos. She made us feel at ease during our session and listened to our ideas. She is so creative and has an incredible eye. We can’t wait to have her photograph our newborn!

Megan Stare ☆ 5/5
Katherine Rensing

Absolutely LOVE Raw Sugar! We have used Shaindel for our son’s first year of life pictures. Each session turned out PERFECT! We absolutely love each and every photo!!!! Shaindel is so easy to work with, is a very safe and professional newborn photographer, and knows how to capture the most precious moments. We are very happy that we chose to do a milestone package as we now are able to look back and enjoy pictures of our little guy time and again. I would recommend Raw Sugar Photography to everyone and anyone looking for a family photographer.

Katherine Rensing ☆ 5/5
Sayumi Otani

We did a newborn photo session at the studio. Shaindel, the photographer was great with our baby! The whole thing went smoothly with just a short time of breastfeeding break. My 4 y/o also enjoyed his experience having a photo shoot with his baby sister. I’d recommend this place for others if you’re looking for a newborn photo session!

Sayumi Otani ☆ 5/5
Kelsey Vance

I went to Shaindel for my sons newborn photography shoot. Being a first time mom I was a little nervous about just handing my baby over, but Shaindel totally put me at ease. I could tell that she absolutely adores babies and had the most nurturing and gentle touch with my little guy. It would take a ton of patience to do what she does and she was amazing at it. Her studio was in a very neat, artsy building close to downtown and was very cozy inside. I would highly recommend Shaindel for any of your family or personal photography needs. I look forward to booking future milestone and family sessions.

Kelsey Vance ☆ 5/5
Julie Anderson

We used Raw Sugar Photography for our first child’s newborn photos. Shaindel was extremely professional and absolutely amazing with our newborn. She exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend her to everyone! We will definitely be using her again in the future for our daughters milestone pictures and family photos. So happy to have found her!

Julie Anderson ☆ 5/5
Sheretta Taylor

My family and I have worked with Shaindel for the past couple of years for our maternity, newborn, baby milestone and family photos and she nails it every time. She makes the experience fun and engaging and the photos come out very beautiful. I highly recommend booking her for capturing those important memories.

Yamani Woody

I wholeheartedly recommend Sonja and 317 Headshots to anyone looking for exceptional photography and outstanding service. She photographed my ERAS residency headshot and did an incredible job capturing a look that was both beautiful and warm for my deep golden skin tone. She truly listened to what I wanted and made sure the final photo reflected me as a person and as a professional. I felt seen, heard, and respected throughout the entire process. More recently, she went above and beyond to help me with my medical school Class of 2026 composite photo at the last minute. When I realized my original photo might not meet the strict requirements, Sonja responded immediately, located my uncropped image, and sent me a perfect high-resolution file within hours. She truly saved the day. Her work is not only high-quality and professional, but her kindness, responsiveness, and dedication to her clients are unmatched. She made a very stressful situation completely manageable. If you are a medical student, resident, or professional who needs headshots, look no further. Sonja delivers exceptional results every time. I am beyond grateful and will recommend her to everyone. Thank you, Sonja, for everything you do!

Yamani Woody ☆ 5/5
Sahar Tamjidi

I had an amazing experience with 317 Headshots from start to finish! The entire process was professional, smooth, and actually fun — which says a lot because getting headshots can feel a little intimidating. They made me feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and gave great direction on posing, expressions, and even wardrobe choices. The quality of the photos is outstanding — crisp, polished, and perfectly captures both personality and professionalism. Turnaround time was quick, and the final images exceeded my expectations. I’ve already received so many compliments and feel much more confident using these photos for my business and social media. If you’re looking for headshots that truly stand out and a photographer who knows how to bring out your best, I 100% recommend 317 Headshots. Worth every minute!

Sahar Tamjidi ☆ 5/5
Mary Ford-Holden

My experience with Sonja Clark of 317 Headshots was truly a pleasure from start to finish. Her photographic skills immediately put you at ease, allowing the entire process to feel relaxed and enjoyable. Sonja is professional, polite, and genuinely dedicated to her craft. Her attention to detail and ability to capture your best self make the experience both seamless and rewarding. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for high-quality, professional headshots.

Mary Ford-Holden ☆ 4/5
Christopher Cox

Not being particularly photogenic, I have some anxieties about a camera being fixed directly on me. It was relief to find Sonja so thoughtful with each step of the process – from the simplicity of her website, the call the day before, and her calm, instructive approach during the session – she allowed me to simply be me during the session. The result was a set of photos that I am more than happy with and genuinely proud to use on my website and social media.

Christopher Cox ☆ 5/5

Joann Hart

1000/10 would recommend. Glenn was amazing at communication throughout the entire process. Gosh I wish he could’ve been in charge of planning the whole wedding with his responsiveness and attention to detail. Our DJ Tim and his sidekick Nick were phenomenal. Excellent sense of humor, perfectly timed sound bites from our favorite tv show, perfect dance music to fit our upbeat, eclectic taste. The pictures from the photobooth turned out amazing. Fantastic lighting, really fun props (and let us bring our own too – Dumb and Dumber outfits), and the attendants kept everyone moving at a good pace. Could not have asked for a better team to make our wedding day a blast!

Joann Hart ☆ 5/5
Jeff Gardner

Glenn and Alex were communicative leading up to the wedding, and changes that we made to the ceremony/reception/music just a couple days prior were no problem. During the ceremony, everything went off without a hitch. In the reception, Alex accommodated a wide range of requests, and kept the energy going. He also braved some pretty nasty weather to be there in Terre Haute on the eve of a huge snowstorm!We couldn’t have pulled off our winter wedding without the Complete Weddings team. Thanks!!

Jeff Gardner ☆ 5/5
Madison Szekely

We had both the DJ and the videographer services through complete weddings at our wedding and they were both very thorough in preparations and making sure everything went the way we wanted. We ended up having a different DJ due to sickness but he was the most accommodating and flexible person that I didn’t have to worry about a thing. He did amazing! The videographer was moving around the venue the whole time and got some awesome shots. Both were wonderful and would highly recommend!

Madison Szekely ☆ 5/5
Morgan Farrell

Amelia and Kevin (photo + vid) were an absolute dream team! They both showed us some clips and sneak peaks as they captured things and we cannot wait to see the end results. They kept things moving, gave advice where it was needed, and were totally on top of the timeline and content. It was enjoyable having them there and I felt like they were friends and not just vendors! We also really appreciated how thorough and genuinely kind Glenn was throughout the entire planning process. He even reached out day of to congratulate and wish us well on our wedding day, and it really stood out to us. We will be recommending your services any chance we get!

Morgan Farrell ☆ 5/5
Kelyn Luke Eckert

Tim was absolutely fantastic!! Thank you so much for hooking us up with an awesome DJ. He played the perfect mix and the songs lined up just as we dreamed of for the ceremony. He also kept the party going all night, the dance floor was bumpin all night. We appreciate all that Glenn and Tim did to make our day so special!! ❤️

Kelyn Luke Eckert ☆ 5/5
Dalaney Springer

Not only were they organized, responsive, and easy to get ahold of, they answered any and all questions and really made the experience easy! We had Travis for our dj and he was a delight to work with! Very organized, go with the flow and kept the dance floor hoping the entire night!!! Would 10/10 recommend to any and all people looking for a great DJ and great experience!

Dalaney Springer ☆ 5/5
Myles Curry

Our photographer Christine and our DJ Tim were incredible. Christine was very kind, professional, and an amazing photographer. Made the planning process easy with open communication. We have only seen a couple sneak peaks but the shots are incredible, she really made the day special for us. Tim was an amazing DJ, easy to work with, and was able to find all the songs we were looking for day of. He was amazing finding the mood and vibe of the dance floor all night, entertaining the kids, to the older crowd. He made the night a lot of fun and very memorable for everyone. Overall it was an incredible experience and I if you have either of these two they will make your night incredible.

Carly Yonts

We have been using Lane as our family photographer for a couple of years now, and I truly can’t imagine working with anyone else! Her communication is always great, her pricing is great, and she is amazing with kids — even on days when they aren’t showing their best behavior. Somehow she still manages to capture the most beautiful, genuine moments. She is so patient, kind, and sweet, which makes the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable! We always walk away with photos we absolutely love. Highly recommend her to any family! 🤍

Carly Yonts ☆ 5/5
Hannah Doran

Lane did an amazing job with our engagement and wedding photos! Working with her from the engagement session, pre-wedding meeting, and day of was seamless. She captured so many fun and special moments of our wedding! During posed photos she was clear and direct but also had fun with the wedding party. Her presence at the wedding and the reception was very natural too! Her turnaround time was also very qucik! We definitely plan on using Lane in future with any family photos and would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!

Hannah Doran ☆ 5/5
LeAnna Ballard

Lane is an amazing photographer! She has captured our engagement, wedding, pregnancy announcement, and newborn photos, and every experience has been great. She is very laid back and makes you feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to capture life’s biggest moments.

LeAnna Ballard ☆ 5/5
Maddy Bailey

Cannot say enough wonderful things about Lane. It was extremely easy to book our photos, Lane asked exactly what I was looking for and then exceeded my expectations. She went above and beyond for my son’s first birthday photos. He cried the majority of the appointment and somehow she got the most amazing photos ever. I couldn’t be happier and I will definitely come to Lane for future pictures. I thought the baby and the cake and Lane took care of the rest. She made it so seamless

Maddy Bailey ☆ 5/5
Brittany Kincius

Our family mini with Lane was the absolute BEST experience! Just the preview images alone were enough to make me feel like we got more than our money’s worth. The fact that she captured our kiddos’ personalities so perfectly in 15 minutes is incredible. Book with her immediately!!!

Brittany Kincius ☆ 5/5
Anna Ochs

Lane was absolutely fantastic for our family mini photoshoot at her studio this month. She kept our two year old son happy and engaged the whole time (which is not easy) and produced amazing family photos that we will cherish forever. Very timely in getting the gallery back as well. We are so thankful to have found Lane for our family photos and will definitely use her again. I highly recommend her for any and all of your photography needs!

Anna Ochs ☆ 5/5
Rachel Egan

We hadn’t had family photos done in a very long time, so I booked a session with Laney—and I’m so glad I did. She captured some of the best pictures we’ve had in years. She was incredibly easy to work with, took her time, and still managed to keep everything moving smoothly. Even with a nine-month-old baby and nine other adults, she got everyone photographed in a timely and stress-free way. I would 100% recommend her.

Anthony Hernandez-Ver

It’s cafeteria style. You grab a tray, move down the line, and order at the counter. Make sure you’re ready to order and know exactly what toppings you want before you get up there so you don’t hold the line up. They take efficiency seriously, and if you’re not ready… you might hear about it. I learned that the hard way after not reading the sign about toppings. That said, the food was really good. The sandwiches are stacked high with a serious amount of meat, the kind where it’s piled on way beyond what you expect. It is a bit pricey. My sandwich came in at over $20, but the portion size and quality made it worth trying. If you’re in Indianapolis and want a classic deli experience with big portions, this place is definitely worth the stop.

Anthony Hernandez-Ver ☆ 5/5
Aric Shafer

Had to try this local favorite as several people recommended it. I ordered two sandwiches as i couldnt decide between the reuben and pastrami. Overall, the restaurant is cafeteria style, wait in line with your tray, ask the busy lady to build your sandwich to order, pick your sides and checkout at the end. This all while the person behind you is glaring holes through you if you so much as ask for clarification on a menu item. The reuben was tasty, saurkraut nicely balanced the meat. Unfortunately, The beef was dry and and the thin slices of meat created an almost gritty texture, if thats the best reuben in Indy, then noted, certainly wasn’t expecting world class deli here anyway. The pastrami was a different story, really flavorful meat piled high. Freshly baked rye bread was delicious. I had to try the mac n cheese, but wish I hadn’t. There was so much salt in that tiny bowl, it was like spoonfuls of sea water. Probably a months worth of sodium between the sandwiches and 3 or 4 bites of the american cheese salt noodles, hard pass. Overall, despite it being fairly reasonable for what you get, i probably wouldn’t go back.

Review for Shapiros in Indianapolis. I got the Rebecca sandwiches for half the meat so I could try multiple sandwiches. I got the Rebecca New York Ruben, unfortunately it had Cole slaw on it instead of sourkrout which was odd and definitely affected the taste. The meat was okay, the rye was a nice buttery flavor as it was toasted. The Corned beef sandwich was also on rye, not toasted. Not as good. Corned beef was as good as the pastrami on the Ruben. I got a half pound of the peppered beef on its own and that was the best meat I had on my visit. Overall good. I think my Ruben was made incorrectly.I was hoping for that sharp saurerkraut bite and was hit with a creamy sweetness of coleslaw. Im genuinely disappointed with this. I get to indianapolis a few times a year. I will try it again and hope for a proper made sandwich. Parking looks like it could be difficult at times.

Shapiro’s is an old-fashioned cafeteria/deli with great food. I was able to get in line (although it wasn’t busy at the time) and get my order in without much trouble, and the staff seemed mostly friendly. My eyes were bigger than my stomach though, so I ended up getting more than I should have. I got a deviled egg, some matzo ball soup, and a chopped liver sandwich. It was all delicious, and the sandwich was especially rich and savory. It’s cool that places like this are still in operation. I’d definitely visit again.

What are pleasant surprise for my first visit to the city of Indianapolis. Luckily I was staying right nearby at towneplace Marriott. Soon as my wife saw that there was a delicate test and she said we had to definitely check it out. It ends up being her family name. We ended up eating there twice on our weekend in Indianapolis. The pastrami on rye also the Reuben on rye are delicious although some may think they’re expensive you get plenty of meat for your money. The secret is they do offer a half size. Half the cost. The key lime pie I thought was fantastic. The deviled eggs were delicious. My wife had matzo ball soup everyday and loved it. She also got chicken salad on a croissant and you can tell the chicken salad was legit. One of our visits we arrived right at opening and we were the first people in line. The second time we went was about around 12:30 pm and we were in line about 40 people deep for about 20 minutes. The line eventually went out the door but it does move pretty fast. We will definitely be back next time we’re in Indianapolis. Shapiro’s is a must go must see place.

The Rueben is as advertised! I’d believe it is the best in the Hoosier state. The pastrami was high quality and the best I can remember. Glad we found this gem of a restaurant on Google Maps. It’s also fun to find local restaurants that have been steadily operating for a long long time… wow since 1905! 🤯🥪🥪🥪🥪😋

Coming from Chicago and Loving Manny’s Delicatessen I was pleasantly surprised with how good the Reuben was. I had never had the New York style Reuben before, and it was amazing. The corn beef, the brisket, the pastrami all of them were excellent. The husband had the fried chicken which was crispy and juicy. Everything was so good. The matzo ball soup is one that tasted like a grandma was in the back and made it. I will definitely be back for more.

Our Experience at Industry 828 Industry 828 was truly the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we started planning, their team made the entire process smooth and stress-free. They offer both full and partial planning services, which helped us easily navigate all the decisions that go into making a wedding day special. Our planner, Alisa, was incredible — professional, creative, and genuinely invested in bringing our vision to life. She and her team went above and beyond to ensure everything ran perfectly, and because of them, our wedding day was even more amazing than we could have imagined. We would recommend Industry 828 and Alisa’s team to anyone looking for a stunning venue and a planning experience that makes your dream wedding come true.

INDUSTRY was everything we wanted and more for our wedding day! It was the perfect venue and the team was so accommodating for our larger wedding size. The open concept of the space made for a beautiful ceremony and reception, and the ability to bring in our own vendors allowed us to be creative and have some fun with our wedding day itinerary. Alisa, our planner through INDUSTRY, supported us every step of the way and truly helped our vision come to life! She made the day of the wedding seamless and made sure we only had to focus on enjoying ourselves and all our guests. We cannot recommend INDUSTRY enough, and if you choose this venue, make sure to work with Alisa, she is the best 🙂

I cannot think of enough positive adjectives to use for this review. Our son and daughter-in-law recently held their wedding ceremony and reception at Industry. It was simply beautiful! The venue is spacious, plenty of room for guests to spread out and mingle with one another. Oddly enough there are cozy areas as well for guests to play a few hands of Uno or have a quieter conversation! The location provided unique urban photo opportunities without being overwhelmed by traffic and noise. Guests were able to walk to the venue from nearby hotels. The venue is clean. The staff is efficient, helpful and kind. Alisa Apple, their wedding coordinator, was just outstanding! Her attention to detail throughout the planning process was incredible BUT her attention to the couple on their wedding day was something beyond! She made sure they had their dream wedding, while also helping other family members navigate the day. Her consideration of me, mother of the groom (possibly the least important female in the wedding party) was heartfelt and alleviated any anxiety I had. She and her staff even helped us load the last few items into our car at the end of the night. I highly recommend Industry for your event in downtown Indy!!

We absolutely loved having our ceremony and reception at Industry! Two of our high priorities when searching for a venue was outside catering availability and guest size. They were able to work with my husband’s family providing food for the event and allow a guest size up to 300 people! I also absolutely loved the aesthetic of the place! Such great natural lighting, decor, and beautiful brick backdrops. I hired month of coordination and Alisa was wonderful! She was the point person for the day of the wedding and took care of every small detail. Our day ran so smoothly and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better day! Thanks so much to everyone at Industry for helping pull off our dream wedding!

Hosting our reception at INDUSTRY on April 7, 2024 was an incredible experience! We were amazed by their flexibility, exceptional service, and how well they took care of us. The venue provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration, and their attention to detail ensured everything went smoothly. Highly recommend Industry for anyone looking for a venue that goes above and beyond!

Most uncomfortable chairs I’ve ever sat in. I think I now have scoliosis. My employer held a meeting for management here, so I cannot speak on the cost or value, but it was more than adequate room for the 140 plus who attended. I feel like we could have had double the attendance and still been comfortable. Plenty of large screen TV’s for the presentations. The bathroom was very clean and smelled good. Inside and out, the venue was well maintained. Staff was professional, friendly and very courteous. The all original exposed brick was cool and overall I thought the place had a nice vibe to it. I’d personally consider this event center for a wedding or party and will suggest it to others….but I would definitely bring in my own seating!!!

My husband and I had the pleasure of being invited to a wedding at Laurel Hall. It was stunning! It felt cozy but open and just dripping in the old money feel (in a great way!). It’s beautiful inside and out and they have that venue set up perfectly for weddings and events. If you’re looking for a unique and beautiful place to say your forevers, consider Laurel Hall!

This is a fantastic venue to host a wedding! Having accessible indoor and outdoor area for guests is great and the building itself is gorgeous.

Perfect venue for a wedding. The location is full of neat history, the architecture is beautiful, and the grounds outside are lovely. There is a very neat chapel upstairs that even provides for the feeling of being married in a church if that is important to you. One negative to keep in mind is because the building is so old, there is no elevator access to the third floor where the chapel is, so that could prove a challenge if you have guests attending in which climbing stairs is difficult.

We’ve been to Laurel Hall for several events both as hosts and as attendees. The mansion and grounds are lovely. The food has been mostly decent, but note that there are several options for caterers so you’re not always getting the same quality at each event. The staff is very hit or miss and parking can be difficult for a larger event. That all being said, Laurel Hall is still one of our favorite places to hold or attend upscale events.

    Frequently asked questions about events in Indianapolis

    What types of events are typically held in Indianapolis?

    Indianapolis hosts a diverse range of events throughout the year. You’ll find concerts featuring national and regional artists, sporting events covering major leagues like the Colts, Pacers, and Dynamo, festivals celebrating music, food, and culture, and community events like parades and holiday celebrations. The city’s event calendar is consistently active, offering something for nearly everyone.

    How far in advance should I plan to attend an event?

    Planning ahead is crucial when attending events in Indianapolis, especially popular ones. Tickets for major concerts and sporting games can sell out months in advance. Similarly, for festivals and seasonal celebrations, booking accommodations and securing entry passes is recommended well in advance. Smaller community events may offer last-minute availability, but it’s always best to check as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

    Where can I find a comprehensive list of upcoming events?

    Several reliable sources provide detailed listings of upcoming events in Indianapolis. The official Indianapolis City Events website is a great place to start, offering a centralized calendar. Additionally, you can explore websites like Eventbrite, local news outlets’ entertainment sections, and websites dedicated to specific event categories, such as music or food festivals. Local tourism boards also often compile event guides.

    Are there any recurring annual events I should know about?

    Indianapolis boasts several long-standing annual events that are highly anticipated. The Indianapolis 500, of course, is the city’s most famous event. Other notable annual events include the Indiana State Fair, the Indianapolis Children’s Museum’s Butterfly Frolic, and various holiday events leading up to Christmas. Researching these established events can help you plan your visits around specific traditions.

    What are the typical ticket prices for events?

    Ticket prices vary considerably depending on the event’s popularity, type, and venue. Major concerts and sporting events tend to have the highest prices. Smaller, local events or community festivals often offer more affordable tickets. It’s advisable to compare prices across different vendors and purchase tickets directly from the venue or authorized ticket sellers to avoid scalping or inflated prices.

    Are there any free events held in Indianapolis?

    Yes, Indianapolis offers numerous free events throughout the year. Many park concerts and community festivals are free to attend. Holiday light displays and New Year's Eve celebrations often include free activities. Regularly checking the Indianapolis City Events calendar and local community websites can reveal these accessible opportunities.

    What parking options are available near event venues?

    Parking near event venues can be challenging, particularly for popular events. Many venues offer designated parking lots with associated fees. Alternatively, consider utilizing ride-sharing services like Uber or Lyft or exploring public transportation options, such as the IndyGo bus system. Street parking is often available but can fill up quickly, so it’s best to arrive early.

    Are there any age restrictions for attending events?

    Certain events may have age restrictions, particularly those featuring mature content or requiring parental supervision. Concerts and sporting events generally have no age restrictions, while some festivals and family-oriented events may require children to be accompanied by an adult. It’s essential to check the event’s website or ticketing information for specific age requirements.

    What safety precautions should I take when attending events?

    Prioritizing safety is important when attending any event. Stay aware of your surroundings, keep valuables secure, and follow instructions from event staff. Large crowds can pose risks, so maintain a safe distance from others and be mindful of potential hazards. Know the location of emergency exits and familiarize yourself with event security procedures.

    How can I find information about accessibility at event venues?

    Many venues in Indianapolis are committed to providing accessibility for all attendees. Check the event’s website or contact the venue directly to inquire about accessibility features, such as wheelchair access, accessible restrooms, designated seating areas, and assistive listening devices. Local disability organizations may also provide resources and information about accessible events in the area.
