That being said, what was delivered to us was nothing short of delectable! The presentation and flavor of all that went into it was very impressive. The salad with fresh turkey, soft cheese and berries was quite the surprise and a wonderful combination. The fish cakes were delicately breaded and oh so moist, literally a party for our tummies. I can only imagine what else he could bring if you let him loose in an actual kitchen. Find out at City Market or book him for your special occasion!

This husband and wife duo truly are professionals at what they do and I can assure you they treat even the most naive of brides (present company) with respect and a supportive approach. Before contracting with Brad Gates Catering, my fiance and i spoke to several local caterers both preferred and not preferred by our venue, the Indianapolis Art Center. Brad Gates Catering is a preferred vendor for the IAC and came highly recommended by the staff at IAC. From the first email, to pricing, to the contract and payment options, BGC has provided an easy, stress-less and smooth process. Meggin was very responsive and proactive when working with us and our fixed budget. We didn't want to cut quality while cutting cost, and Meggin understood that and was able to put together a menu that not only meets our budgetary needs, but also our tastes. She is on the ball with all the nuances behind planning and executing a wedding reception dinner so she's been a huge help and resource when it comes to managing and making decisions around things like kids menu, buffet set-up and the like. Meggin was able to make adjustments to our proposed menu and has been wonderful with fielding all my endless questions as I navigate through the wedding planning process. I feel confident that our event will go smoothly and that the food will be a huge hit with our guests!

MORRIS-BUTLER HOUSE IS A HISTORIC LANDMARK IN INDIANAPOLIS…read more======================================================== John Morris commissioned the construction of this home in 1864. His family lived there until 1878 when Noble Butler purchased the home. The Butler's lived there until 1957. Indiana Landmarks recued the deteriorated home in 1964 and they home was restored. Eli Lily, is a founder of the Indiana Landmarks Foundation of Indiana. It was opened as a museum in 1969. The restoration of the Morris-Butler House is in the historic Old Northside. It appears that it's undergoing another renovation right now in 2025 as you can see be all the scaffolding in my photo. The space can be rented for weddings, luncheons, teas, dinners, lectures and meetings.

I was at an event at the Indiana Landmarks Center today and got a little bit of time to check out…read morethe Morris-Butler House adjacent to it. Just a little history - the house takes its name from two families who lived there in the 19th century. This Civil War era house was commissioned in 1864 by John Morris on land once owned by Butler University founder Ovid Butler. The Morris-Butler House in Indianapolis takes its name from two families who lived there in the nineteenth century. In 1864, John Morris commissioned the construction of his home on land once owned by Ovid Butler, the founder of Butler University. While this neighborhood has seen its better days, at the time this was a new suburb and one of Indy's most prestigious areas. The Morris family stayed until 1878. Three years later, bankruptcy lawyer Noble butler moved in with his wife and seven children. They were in the home until Florence Butler (the youngest daughter) died in 1957. By this time, the neighborhood was heading downhill - Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana (now Indiana Landmarks) rescued the home with an assist by Eli Lilly himself (Lilly was a founder of Indiana Landmarks). The home opened as a museum in 1969. Saving the home also helped save Central Avenue United Methodist Church - now the home of Indiana Landmarks. The home is more an event space now than a museum, though it does retain many historic furnishings. Much of the first floor is, somewhat surprisingly, wheelchair friendly thanks to an "elevette" from a private parking court. The home is built in the Second Empire Style. It is a beautiful setting for small weddings (think no more than 40). receptions, dinners, special events, etc. On the first floor, you can rent the formal parlor, dining room, and library - all three of these are wheelchair accessible. I don't think other areas would be considered accessible, though that's to be expected with a historic home (so I'm not docking my usual star for lack of access - I feel like Indiana Landmarks does the best it can and goes above and beyond). As a wheelchair user, I'm always a bit frustrated in historic settings - and yet, I love historic settings. I'm grateful I finally got the chance to check out the Morris-Butler House.

Anyway thank you Short Chef and may God continue to work in what you do, talk to you soon.

We went with the 1960s Vintage Camper. If you look at my photos, you'll see the camper. But go to Indybeertaps.com and you'll see more photos. The camper was very picturesque. They setup a chalkboard with the drink selections listed. There was a wicker chair and a planter as well. These small touches went a long way to create a picture perfect memorable event. We all had a great time. They gave us excellent service. I brought a growler to fill of my favorite brew as well. Have a party, need a mobile drink truck... look no farther!
