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!
