Best event venues in Indianapolis: find options near you

Excellent hotel, staff was really pleasant. Ample food offerings onsite and in the same parking lot. Rooms were very well laid out, shower was very nice as well. Complimentary shower soaps smell wonderful.

Great property with great amenities in a great location. The room was large and nicely appointed. The hotel staff was friendly and attentive. The hotel had on-site dining and there were several dining options within easy walking distance. All at a reasonable price.

This is my favorite hotel in Indianapolis. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Location is perfect, short drive off 465 but just far enough away that it is quite. The hotel has its own restaurant plus there are eight additional in the complex (very short walking distance) that offer very different cuisines and are all very good. Highly recommend this hotel.

We recently stayed at the Ironworks Hotel Indy and were thoroughly impressed from start to finish. Our room was super nice and impeccably clean. The attention to detail in the room design really stood out, blending luxury with a unique industrial-chic vibe that gives the hotel so much character.
We also appreciated the variety of on-site dining options available, there’s something for everyone right on the property. The location is another major plus. The hotel is conveniently situated near a great selection of restaurants and shopping, making it easy to explore the area without needing to drive far. The staff was friendly and attentive from check-in to check-out, we felt genuinely welcomed and well taken care of. Before departing, we had a wonderful breakfast at Rize, the hotel’s on-site breakfast spot. The food was fresh, flavorful, and the perfect send-off after a relaxing stay. We can’t recommend Ironworks Hotel Indy enough and will definitely be returning. A true gem in the heart of Indy!

Nice theme, clean, nearby restaurants and shopping. Quality in house restaurant. Could qualify for a Michelin rating.

The staff is very nice and friendly as is the valet. Good room and TV. BEST SHOWER of anywhere in our 5 weeks of travel! My wife requested a bar of their soap to take it was so good.

I had a wonderful experience at Ironworks Hotel. The hotel smell was great and my room felt cozy, luxurious, was beautiful designed. The staff was incredibly helpful and welcoming throughout my stay. I also had dinner at Provision. It was absolutely delicious and highly recommend. I’d recommend it his hotel!

Perfect experience. Spent an amazing weekend here with my boyfriend. Loved the proximity to Fashion Mall and the walking distance access to multiple restaurants. So much attention to detail given to the unique interior design. Staff was courteous and fast. Great value.

We LOVE the Indiana Roof Ballroom. Our wedding was incredible, and we had the most amazing experience working with their great staff. Truly above and beyond, and a stunning venue. Thank you to the roof for making our wedding day so incredibly special.

The 61st annual Indiana Leadership Prayer Breakfast was recently held at the Indiana Roof Ballroom. For decades this event has used this venue, and this year again far exceeded our expectations. Katie, Craig, Jeff, and their staff are wonderful to work with and highly recommended! Thank you again!

The Indiana Roof is a beautiful venue, rich in history and character. We are so glad we chose this special location in which to have our first inaugural luncheon for our Foundation. It was a pleasure to work with Lydee and her team. They were professional, organized and accommodating. The food was delicious, with the quality and presentation being everything we anticipated. The wait service operated amazingly smoothly and efficiently . We received many wonderful compliments from our guests regarding the beauty of the ballroom and the quality of the meal itself. From the valet parking to the lighting & sound, everything was top notch. The staff went above and beyond both the day before and the day of the event to assist us in every way possible.

We look forward to working with The Indiana Roof again next year!

I competed in a ballroom dance competition to raise money for Riley Children’s Hospital, and this was the venue. It was perfect. Beautiful ambiance, great bar, very convenient to get ready next door in the embassy suites which is directly attached. So no need to go outside. Excellent location for a wedding for the same reasons, your guests can stay and embassy suites and walk right over to the ballroom. It has a sort of Italian filled with the design around the circumference of the roughly circular ballroom.

Awesome downtown location. Great staff and perfect spot for events and conferences. Check with Kaitlyn August for scheduling.

Excelente ambiente, los detalles del auditorio te transportan a una plaza española o mexicana. Buen servicio de mesero y atención del personal. Llegar al auditorio se hace engorroso con los teléfonos iPhone ya que la ubicación no te lleva correctamente, mientras que con Android, si!

Attended the Bookworm ball, atmosphere was off the charts. The servers where attentive. Drinks served tasted amazing.

My husband and I married at the Biltwell Event Center in August 2025 and had the most wonderful experience! We were referred to the Biltwell by friends and couldn’t be happier we chose to marry at this venue.
The owner, Taki, was great to work with and so professional. He made sure we were taken care of on our big day. Our venue coordinator, Karen, was incredible and helped us every step of the way in the planning process! She was so responsive, friendly, and insightful!
The Biltwell is a large and beautiful venue to marry in or host any event in. My guests cannot stop talking about how amazing our food was and how wonderful the service was! The staff is truly the best. They offer so much for couples and have spacious bridal/groom suites, free parking, is handicap accessible, and offer lovely outdoor patios.
The wedding day was amazing and the Biltwell was so dedicated to bringing our vision came to life .Thank you for hosting our wedding day!

Taki, Karen, Corbin, and the entire Biltwell crew could not have made our wedding day more perfect. From day one they welcomed us in like family, and made every step of the planning process so easy. Any time we had ideas or questions, they were quick to jump in and happy to help. On the day of our wedding, we did not have to worry about a thing! Everything was taken care of by the Biltwell staff and allowed us + our families to truly be present and enjoy the day.

Additionally, our guests still cannot stop raving about the food! Karen was incredibly helpful with suggestions to accommodate various dietary needs, and the whole crew made sure we were well-fed and taken care of all day.

Thank you, Biltwell team for putting together a wonderful event! Your food, drink, and service were incredible! I had such lovely interactions with your workers, they are great people and everything went smoothly. We loved all the great photo backgrounds, including the elevator and photo backgrounds for guests. We also loved the opportunity to use your vases as table decor.

Absolutely beautiful! Industrial but rustic loft vibe… beautiful view of downtown. Huge, multiple open areas for gathering from the front entryway to the upstairs patio outdoors. Plenty of free parking. Very unique elevator… Handicap accessible. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Biltwell Event Center provided us with the absolute best experience. The venue itself was absolutely gorgeous and just what we were looking for. Taki always had a positive attitude and was dedicated to make my vision come to life. I could tell he really made an effort to make us happy, and it showed. Taki even had a wedding backdrop made for us that was more beautiful than I could have imagined. Biltwell had it all. So many aspects were included in the price which is something I had trouble finding until working with Biltwell. The venue itself has everything you may hope for, indoor, outdoor, balconies, gorgeous entry ways, and great bars. They have furniture, glassware, beautiful farm tables, and so much more. Also, the food was amazing!!! All of the service staff was extremely attentive, positive, and great to work with. The staff was sincere and by our side throughout the entire night for anything we needed. We are so happy with our experience and highly recommend!

I am the junior class sponsor for our high school which means I plan prom. We just held prom there last night. From beginning to end this staff is amazing. Karen answered my endless questions and helped me realize I could bring our vision to life.

Prom day: set up was a breeze with the in house staff there to make sure everything was exactly what we wanted. Once we got there we realized we were going to have some open space and Darryl helped us put out some extra tables and find some other props. Everyone else there was so helpful.

Food was amazing.

The owner Taki was on hand and such a genuinely nice person.

The students had so much fun and they all loved the venue. So glad we are returning next year. When I told our students during crowning of the prom court they cheered. They genuinely loved the space.

Went for the 1st time during All-Star weekend and had a nice time. Great space and very nice staff. Food could have been better, but that wasn’t an issue. Jack Daniel’s hosted an event, and I really enjoyed myself. The drinks, music & art were fantastic. Would definitely rent the space if needed. I also loved the old school elevator.

This place is horrible. The people are rude. You don’t feel safe when u walk in u have to go thru s metal detector and have a stranger look inside ur purse. Then we pay 77 dollars to get inside for 4 people. And then I tried to order food and was imidiedetly told that the pizza dough was frozen then I watch them pull several pizza dough out. This is unacceptable. I feel like they didn’t want to take care of me. Anyways you lost atleast anther 100 dollars. Prolly more than that to be honest with the games. But anyways. WILL NEVER BE BACK.

Had a great experience! They hosted my daughter’s birthday. The music and the blacklight effect was a big hit, the party favors were fun, and it was priced fairly. I can’t remember the name of our hostess but she was very kind, and so was the talented young lady doing face painting (I hope she considers herself as an artist). The DJ was kind as well!

Rink #54!

This place did not disappoint. The floor was recently redone. Such a beautiful roll. The artwork was tastefully done. Bright and bold colors. Loved the center of the floor for beginners/jam skaters. The DJ booth is also located here. So the DJ can see a full view of the skaters. The disco balls = yes please! New and fresh carpet oh and Coke products!

Attended the first shuffle skate event. I’ll def be back. Also want a terrible drive from Pittsburgh.

Staff was friendly and Momma Mia, our party host, was amazing! She took care of everything! All we had to do was show up and have fun. I would Definitely recommend booking a birthday party, and I am looking forward to booking again next year!

I had a wonderful time. From the time I entered until I left. The skaters amazed me. There were toddlers to young adults on the floor skating with and without a handheld walker for assistance. I was amazed just watching. I hadn’t been inside a skating for over 30 years. Things sure have changed since them. This visit has rejuvenated an interest in returning soon. Thanks, Jamison, for inviting me to your birthday party. I want to go again.

We had my grandson’s 7th B-Day party here tonight, April 19, 2025. The atmosphere and employees are awesome! Just the respect and patience meant so much. I thank y’all for being so gracious and professional. I’ll definitely be signing up for skating classes. I appreciate y’all and will be returning. One more thing, I’m so sorry Ms. Justine! We were trying to tip you and we were told it should’ve been done before the establishment closed. I appreciate all that you did for our family, and you’re just the sweetest thing ever!

Went for my granddaughter Cyn’Niq birthday party March 9 2025 and Dj Momma Mia and our Host Kevin made this one of the funniest family outings we have had in a long time my family from young to old were out there skating enjoying the food it was the best time and the music and glowing lights made was the highlight will definitely be back next month for my other granddaughter birthday

We had a great experience. Great ambiance, venue location, ample parking. Staff was really great to work with. Hannah Beale was extremely helpful and patient in working through details with us, specially last minute changes on the day of reception. Staff also worked with us to curate ethnic mocktails, which were a hit.

I helped organize the event for a dinner here. The staff was very helpful and the event went well. They took care of a lot of the initial set up and clean up work. The sound was great and there were no IT issues at all.

I was there for a wedding. The wait staff was top notch. The venue was top notch. The food was great. Everything about this event was next level top tier except for the parking.

We had our wedding at the Crane Bay just a week ago! They were so wonderful to work with, the food was amazing, and the staff there made sure everything went smoothly! The decor looked amazing, and I couldn’t have asked for a better venue!

Fantastic facility, generous parking, customisable interior. Good table arrangement and viewing angles. Really good and hygienic restrooms. Never felt crowded for 170 people. From glamorous to traditional events more than fit for purpose. Video projection systems and audio are excellent with no echos or reverberation- A class.

WOW! Spacious, upscale venue in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. Staff went out of their way constantly to help us set up for an amazing reunion experience.

Cinemania was Awesome! … Thank you Mr. Irsay for adding to the event!

Canal 337 was EVERYTHING we could’ve asked for. Lauren sold the venue to us and they delivered on everything they promised. There were no surprises. Everything was included and there were optional upgrades that we barely even used. I saved so much money on decor and flowers because honestly the venue is beautiful in itself. Jacinta and Emily made sure I was confident going into our big day and they made sure it went flawlessly. Wedding food is hit and miss but seriously I got so many compliments on how good the food was and I liked it even better than we tasted it for our tasting. The late night snacks we added were SO good and I’m still getting compliments on the sliders. There is absolutely nothing I would change! There are negative reviews and I brought that up immediately before I booked and Lauren acknowledged they had issues in the past but revamped everything so ignore all of that and just book!

Canal 337 is SO GREAT. Seriously I could go on and on about how awesome this venue is + the people that work there. I was so lucky to be a vendor for a wedding there and I was blown away. If you are looking for a chic industrial venue — stop looking and just book this one!!!!

We had our wedding at Canal in January of 2025. The venue is incredible. The staff made everything so easy and the day flowed perfectly. The food was better than any wedding food I have ever had. If you are looking for a great place to have your wedding, Canal Pointe is the spot!

Canal 337 offers a bride and groom a ‘refined’ rustic look in an urban setting. Thomas Caterers transformed this landmark into something really special. We love that there are unique spaces in which the bride and groom can get ready. We love that there are two floors that are very different to host both a ceremony and reception. And, we love the fact that we can venture outside and have the canal and skyline at our fingertips. It is a great venue for images. Oh…and the food AMAZING!

This is a must see with your family when you come to Indianapolis. It’s a few things to do boat ride to four seater bikes.

Great location for a wedding venue. Nice ambience inside and great view outside.

Looks lonely when I visited but obviously it was because the cold weather. The frozen lake (or river, I’m not sure ) had this turquoise colour that I like.

Cynthia and her team did everything to help make my event (90th birthday celebration) a huge success! I couldn’t have ask for more and all that I asked for was met with a ‘can do’ attitude. Highly recommended.

Endless possibilities, LLC decorated the Baby Shower event at The Jewel center. The location is nice inside with alot of space but the chair covers and Kitchen weren’t clean.

My first visit here. This place is AMAZINGLY Beautiful!! I will be hosting an event here!

This place is very beautiful. The decor they used for our church anniversary banquet was absolutely gorgeous. I’m not sure if the the jewel center were the caterers, but it seemed that they did not give us all of the leftover food. The dinner was an all you can eat buffet (but they were spooning the food onto our plates, giving small portions)It was for 50 people but we didn’t have 50 people and not many went back for seconds. When I asked for more food, they said it was packed up to give to us, but when the food was unpacked, there were only 2 dishes wrapped and sent. It felt like the caterer kept, the mac and cheese, prime rib and the dressing that was left over for themselves. If there were no left overs of these dishes, then this means they didn’t prepare enough for the 50 people we paid for. It feels like we were cheated a lil bit. The food was delicious

Beautiful facility. Love that it’s family run and owned!

I went to a wedding. The workers were still mopping and setting up when it was time for the guests to arrive. The food was subpar. The salad was good and someone mentioned that the lasagna was good.

Beautiful space to host just about anything and they have a kitchen!!! Staff was awesome and food was delicious

Unrivaled put on a show that made me feel like I was home!!!
Shannon, Claire, Travis, Nathan and all of the crew def put in the work & it was a success!!!

My only suggestion is to maybe hand out free small waters (State Farm) to the fans waiting in the heat 🙂

It was all worth the wait!!!
We got to surprise some people bc they thought we couldn’t make it but we extended our trip just to be at 1st Day of pop up!!!
Added bonus: taking a pic with my favvvve Lexxxxxie Hull! Hull Yeah

Soooooo glad we did!!!!
We love all things Unrivaled and in literally carrying a tote now lol

We promoted all the way home from
Indy to Florida!!!

Amazing venue! Well hidden and secure. Great facility. Had so much fun there. Can’t wait to have another event held there! Staff was excellent, liquor prices weren’t too high and just all around good time.

Excellent experience! Very productive workflow Mitch brings and you’ll be a lot done here. Helps a lot with carving out the perfect sound for your project!

One of the coolest small venues I’ve been to! Sound was incredible and they had heated floors which was amazing because it was about 15° outside.

We hosted a customer casino night event at 416 Wabash. Christopher was the easiest venue owner to work with throughout the planning process, easy to get in touch with, quick to respond, and did multiple venue tours for our group to establish a layout for the space.

The space is unique – speakeasy or club vibes depending on the lighting. Ceiling and floor lights make the space customizable. Large LED screens for presenting. We loved that the tables, chairs, and linens were included in the price as well.

Great space, very accommodating, and worth taking a look for customer events, wedding receptions, or other group parties.

Mitch was very down to earth, and excellent to work with! Awesome engineer! I highly recommend 416 Wabash for your recording services.

The venue was spotless and ready to go when we arrived. The owner and staff were fantastic—so friendly and easy to work with. We had an amazing time and couldn’t have asked for a better experience! This is a such cool and unique spot. Highly recommend!

Had my wedding 6/20/2025. Victoria was amazing and booking was easy peasy. Thank you to everyone who helped the day of! The rooms were large and affordable the food was pricy but I cant complain since it was yummy! Saved tons of money compared to booking at a regular venue. 11/10 would do it again!

Once again, Northside Events and Social Club did a wonderful job! We recently hosted a Celebration of Life there, and everything was fantastic. The fried chicken buffet—with mashed potatoes, green beans, and salad—was simple yet absolutely delicious. Victoria was a pleasure to work with, and the entire staff was so kind and attentive. The level of service and quality of food made for a truly special experience. Bravo!

Came here for the Bright Ideas show! This was a great space for a large gathering and they utilized multiple rooms for this event. There is plenty of parking and it was an easy place to navigate. There was an MC at the event on a stage which was good for the event doing door prizes.

On today we had a scheduled appointment with this facility for our wedding ! When we arrived we were greeted more professional by the bar tender than the property manager. You would think they would introduce themselves but instead as we viewed the facility “it’s on the website”. Was mentioned multiple times. On top off all this! 2 weeks before the appointment date I had called and ask about the Center she told me that we could bring our own food! We get there she tells us as of this year they stopped it and that we had to use their catering. We felt so uncomfortable and unwelcome. Most places give you a wedding package, we felt rushed and every question I ask ” its on the website ” smh we will look for a venue that makes you feel welcome!

We hosted a Celebration of Life here and had a wonderful experience. The staff (Victoria and Dave) were so helpful and friendly. Nice facilities, good food and drinks. And a lovely patio out back. Reasonably priced too. Would definitely recommend for any event!!

Great gathering, cool and comfortable.
Good place to hold an event

Incredible service and the French fries are to die for!!!!

Tator tots pretty good as well!

My husband and I cannot say enough about our experience at Tinker House Events. Our wedding was truly the day of our dreams. Emma, our contact point and coordinator ensured all of our visions came to life. She was helpful, responsive and truly a delight to work with. The day of coordination package was worth every single penny, between the meetings leading up to our day, and the set up/tear down services, we couldn’t have done it without them. We had several guests report that the bar was simply the best wedding bar- fun and friendly bartenders and outstanding cocktails, you can’t go wrong. We opted for City BBQ which was an affordable and tasty preferred caterer through Tinker House Events. The space that the wedding was hosted in is beautiful- we had about 175 guests, which is close to the venues capacity, but did not feel overly crowded in the space. We had room to dance and mingle, but also felt intimate. We truly cannot recommend Tinker House Events more.

We booked Tinker House Events for our wedding! Their team does and amazing job! We opted for using their day of coordinator package and it was worth every penny! Emma is an amazing planner and kept us on track with what we needed to have done. They also have vendors that they have close relationships with which made everything so much smoother. Brittany was our day of coordinator and did an amazing job as well! We had so many comments from our guests about the bartenders as well – the craft cocktails were amazing!

Emma and her team were amazing! She executed my vision perfectly. Having access to Provider is a must – it was an awesome guest experience addition. Tinker is beautiful, and I’m sad our day is over!

When we picked Tinker House for our wedding, we knew we already liked the aesthetic. What my wife and I didn’t know was how great the staff would be. We chose to have the wedding coordinator and we cannot recommend it enough. Emma was organized, prepared, and accommodating to any of our requests. There was nothing she would let us forget, and it truly reduced our stress for our wedding day.

We loved having our wedding at Tinker House Events! The space is beautiful and Emma was amazing to work with. She was so on top of everything and made the process so easy. Highly recommend using their wedding planning services – I truly could enjoy the day knowing Emma & Brittany were taking care of everything.

Emma and the whole Tinker House team were truly amazing. We could not have picked a better venue for our wedding. Not only is the venue beautiful, but they executed everything seamlessly and made the whole experience completely stress-free to let us fully enjoy our wedding day. If we could give more than 5 stars we would!

Tinker house events allowed us to have our dream wedding. This venue is gorgeous & allows for so much creativity when it comes to wedding decor. The team is fabulous. We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding experience!!
