Every team member I talked with who was working the event was genuinely kind and friendly. Yes, they were busy, but not too busy to help, give directions, and answer questions. I watched as they moved between set-up and tear-down. I watched them interact with the guests and each other, and what I saw was impressive. One team member in particular was taking charge and leading the others, so I decided to say hello. This team member happened to be Rich, the owner. I thanked him for his team's kindness and genuine desire to help his guests. I asked him to tell me more about his business and why I saw a VIP/Chik-Fil-A level of friendliness and service from his team. He shared the story of how Ivory Foundry came to be. He and his wife were former wedding photographers, and they started compiling a list of things they wanted in a venue from a guest experience standpoint and a photographer's wish list for a venue. They started Ivory Foundry to provide a great venue for Indy residents to hold special events. They are family-owned, not corporate, and are one of only two indoor and outdoor wedding event spaces in Indianapolis. Rich and his wife decided to focus on providing value to their guests. They wanted to eliminate the "Nickel and Dime" billing practices of the other venues and provide exceptional value for the clients who chose to share their great moments with them. It shows, from my experience. The facilities are beautiful, and the team was kind, friendly, and ready to help make the event we attended a great experience. If you are looking for a great venue and a great team to work with, I highly recommend Ivory Foundry. Support a local Indy business and host your next event with a great faclity and team.

An Unforgettable Wedding Experience at Mill Top Convention Center!…read more Seriously too good to be true! From the moment we arrived at the Mill Top Convention Center, we knew we this is going to be thee coolest! This venue far exceeded all our expectations and made our wedding day nothing short of mind blowing (my cousins even said so)! We were everywhere! The space was immaculate, with perfect decor that we selected and their own. We had a massive group and a layout perfectly accommodated our guests. Every corner of the venue was designed for photos, so the reception felt both elegant and comfortable. We met a lot of the staff personally! Way to go Toni and Hilary, and Rocky All staff were incredibly accommodating and attentive, I'm embarrassed that I don't remember all the names. They went above and beyond, especially when we requested a live stream of our ceremony for guests who couldn't attend in person. Their professionalism and willingness to cater to our specific requests really made us feel like VIP. But lemme tell you about this!!! One of the highlights of our experience was the Bridal Suite and Man Cave, which are unmatched in style and amenities. The spaces were stylish and provided a perfect hideaway for us and our wedding party to relax and prepare for the big day. We even enjoyed watching the Colts game on a theater screen, adding a fun twist to our preparations! I'm still not finished.... We had a fantastic lineup of entertainment! The live piano player when our guest arrived, while the saxophone player added a nice touch to our cocktail hour. As the night progressed, the DJ kept the energy pumping during our casino-style reception!! The full bar service was exceptional, offering a couple of bride and groom drinks that they helped us create. To top it off, the venue accommodated a special request for a spirit (and it ain't easy to find either if you know me) we wanted, we literally had everything we wished for. Sooooooo... If you're looking for a spot that brings elegance, service, and an experience to remember, Get to the Mill Top Convention Center. Our wedding day was perfect! Thank you,Thank you Thank you!

I travel a lot and have eaten a lot of buffets ( so much so I hate them) but the food here was excellent! Fresh, well prepared, and I heard so many compliments about how good the food was. The planning assistance was spot on and the service during the event was excellent. Only complaint was the lines at the bar. Needed more bartenders and maybe do a premix of the signature cocktails to speed things up for the first few rounds so people don't have to wait. Since it is a historic building, the main room has some obstacles that prevent good viewing from all of the seats, but it is compensated by a really cool building and atmosphere.

Wow!! What a transformation!! I haven't seen this building since it was Jonathan Byrd's restaurant…read more The exterior is now black and white which is very classic and understated. The Nest Event Center is located in Greenwood just off I-65 at Main Street. The parking lot is quite large and will accommodate a large event. The interior is amazing and you'd never know it was a former restaurant. The lobby area is very attractive, decorated in beiges and cream, and I could see using this for cocktails, a reception line plus so much more. It worked well tonight for purchasing tickets plus an area to sit and relax while enjoying the fireplace. The versatile ballroom is quite large and can handle everything from a wedding, conference to special events. One of those special events is the Holiday Craft Show tonight. The Event Center has a neutral color scheme and can accomadate most bridal or conference color schemes. This proved to be true with all the colors associated with the Holiday Craft Show. Tonight all different color schemes were used and all the crafts looked wonderful. With this neutral backdrop any decor theme would work nicely allowing brides or companies a great deal of flexibility and creativity. The Holiday Craft Show was a huge draw. Many different types of vendors filled the ballroom carrying Christmas decor, wreaths, jewelry, clothing, wool mittens, woodworking projects, signs, candles, crocheted items, lap blankets, floral arrangements and much more. There truly was something for most anyone's interest and many gift ideas. In the future I would like to take an official tour and checkout pricing for a yearly event I'm involved with. This is a beautiful venue with endless potential.

The location is absolutely perfect for any event you might have, weddings, birthdays, anniversary's, literally anything. There is only one issue that I have with the nest.

This new company is a black-owned, woman-led professional company who was punctual, communicated changes and did an amazing sign for an affordable price. They offer signs for every occasional. They have a few customizable packages and add-ons. I will be using Yard Sign Sisters for all our special occasions in 2021!!

I had the chance to attend a wedding reception at Ginger Event Center, a Northwest side of Indy…read moreevent center near St. Vincent Hospital that offers a fairly straightforward set-up in terms of modest-sized events. Ginger Event Center is honestly what I'd call a more "working class" event center. It's nice, though I'd hesitate to call it anything resembling luxurious. For a young couple starting out, it was a solid option for a simple yet meaningful wedding reception that offered enough room to have fun, socialize, and also honor the current climate of social distancing. The good news is that a Ginger Event Center rental is a full-day rental. These days, it seems like most venues are doing rentals for a few hours or a 1/2 day or whatever. With Ginger, you get the day. The venue is wheelchair friendly including an accessible restroom stall. As a wheelchair user, you'd be amazed how often this is not the case even in high-end event centers. They offer linen rental. You can bring in your own food, own beverages, and alcohol (though they do have bar packages and a cool bar area). They have ample free parking. Ginger provides tables and chairs and everything was set up nicely upon arrival. The owner will recommend vendors if you need help. From what my friends noted, the owner was quite helpful. Ginger also includes an audio-visual system (somewhat low-to-mid range in my estimation), a dressing room, a patio area (admittedly, not the most attractive area for a patio), a food prep area, and a bar area. Seating square footage is around 3,500 square feet. Typical capacity is around 200 with a dance floor (which was used in the event I attended). I would say Ginger is a solid option for the area. It's certainly not a destination event center. If you're seeking high-end, look elsewhere. However, this is an attractive and functional event center for small to moderate-sized weddings, special events, religious celebrations, etc. I'm not aware that they have a non-profit rate and I doubt I'd do much in the way of "performance" type events here. However, it served nicely for this very special evening and, most importantly, the newly married couple was happy to gather with family and friends.

If you are looking for a venue where you can bring in your own food, beverages and alcohol plus…read morefree parking this might be your place. The 4,000 sq. ft. venue rents for $1,500 and provides tables and chairs and everything else is the renters responsibility including tableware and clean up. The owner has vendors he can recommend if you do not have your own. This is an unusual concept compared to most other venues we've worked with. The dining tables were set up and dressed when we were there. There isn't a lobby so you walk directly into the room. The room is basically split into two large areas for dining tables and a versatile open floor (think dance floor or silent auction tables), a nice bar area, a very small kitchen, a nice men and women's restroom and a tiny open area in front of the restrooms which I didn't think should be congested. All unloading/loading of supplies has to go through the front door as their large storage unit sits at the back door. You can enter here but you can't pull up close to the door. Not a problem unless you're unloading trucks of silent auction items plus much more in our case. The owner was pleasant and working with several of us during my appointment. He answered all of our questions and had setup ideas trying to help me resolve the issues I saw due to space restraints. With all of our space requirements, it was determined the venue was just to small for our annual auction. In addition, we'd need a ton more volunteers for catering, bussers, servers and bartenders or increase our budget. Great concept for those who prefer to take control of the catering, bar, and manage every aspect of your event.
