Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Secreted inside Indianapolis’s oldest surviving commercial building, this 1830s treasure boasts four stories of event space, each level having been meticulously restored and adorned with eye-catching art, sumptuous furnishings, and top-notch event amenities.
- The street-level main gallery makes a grand impression for intimate ceremonies and receptions, with its unique art installations and Gilded Age-inspired opulence. A second floor space boasts a balcony that overlooks the gallery below, serving as a fun spot for cocktails and mingling.
- The top two levels have been transformed into sumptuous dressing suites, both outfitted with still more splendid art pieces and plush, vintage parlor-style appointments that look gorgeous in photos. All four floors are included in your rental fee, offering you complete privacy and flexibility.
