Montage on Allison Pointe is an event venue operated by the Kahn's Catering family that is located…read morejust west of 82nd and Allisonville Road in the Allison Pointe complex. It's a waterside facility with four distinct special event rooms with each having private entrances and patios. This is valuable as it allows your own event to have a sense of privacy as was the case today when Heartland International Film Festival hosted its awards ceremony in one of the larger rooms while a wedding held an event in another area and had their own private entrance.
You can tell this facility has undergone some renovations. It's also one of the more wheelchair friendly event venues I've been to in Indy. The front entrance has a row of accessible parking spots, and I mean truly accessible, and nearly every place I went to in the venue was easily accessed in my wheelchair. While the speaker's podium wasn't accessible, and I was one of the speakers, there's really no way to know if this was because of the actual venue or if it had been mentioned by the event. However, because the microphones could be easily hand-held it was a minor issue and easy to overcome.
They offer a sensory technology AV system, exclusive catering, exclusive bartending, and more. Every event rental includes both 60" and 72" round tables, 6' and 8' banquet tables, decorative banquet chairs, china, glassware and silverware, tall and short cocktail tables, and simple silver centerpieces. Weddings also include a dance floor and an easel for escort boards. Enhancements include the AV equipment, coat check service and other items.
Every event space has the water view - it's stunning.
The event spaces include The Champagne Room, The Riesling Room, The Chardonnay Room, and the Cabernet Room. They also have a garden available for rental and you can rent the entire facility. The majority of the packages include catering minimums.
The rooms are exquisite - elegant and formal, yet comfortable and fun. The patios, as near as I could tell, were all easily wheelchair friendly and the facility actually advertises accessibility. The main entrance is level to the ground.
If there's one area where I'd poke a little bit of fun, it's in their online brochures - I found about a half dozen obvious typos in one document. I'd advise getting those fixed as it truly is a reflection of not being detail oriented and for a higher-end event space that's not the message you want to send.
The staff? They were attentive, friendly, and super efficient without ever being invasive. While I didn't have a ton of food since I was speaking, what I did have was excellent.
Overall, I was super impressed and would easily return. I'm always excited when an event space or luxury space goes out of the way to ensure accessibility and such is the case at Montage. With plenty of space options, this is a terrific venue option for weddings, special events, workshops, awards ceremonies or just about anything else you can think of in the corporate/organizational world.
