    Exceptional Service

    Not only a beautiful venue, but Kelly Kees and her staff were incredible. We were able to bring decorations early and leave them until the Monday after the wedding. They even helped us set up! Hurrican Dorian had us concerned with guests being unable to make it and Kelly allowed us to extend our guest count date to see where Dorian would hit. During the rececption, everyone was so nice and professional. Again, Kelly went out of her way to make sure the bridal party and parents had anything that they needed! Our night was magical and Kelly and staff kept it moving smoothly and flawless.

    Excellent venue

    We rented the NCAA for our wedding reception in 2019. Kelly was very accommodating and easy to work with, which made my job being the bride/hostess much easier.

    We could not have asked for a better reception venue for our wedding. From the booking process, to the planning process, up until the very end of the wedding, we could not have felt more at ease knowing everything was covered. Kelly did an amazing job helping us coordinate everything that we wanted to be included, down to the tiniest of details. She is a true professional and is truly unmatched when it comes to her expertise. We would highly recommend the NCAA Hall of Champions to anyone!

    It is a wonderful location!! Beautiful spot right on white river park. Very scenic area. It's a nice space that you can make your own and also very modern. Loved working with Kaitlin. She was very helpful, responded quickly, was always polite and friendly. We felt like she was doing whatever she could to make our day special. She did a great job, can not say enough nice things about her.

    Wow! We couldn't have asked for a better reception venue! Kelly was a joy to work with. We loved the price and the attention to detail that we got. The room looked beautiful and the staff was so nice to everyone. Our friends loved the open bar. The food tasted so good!! I'm so happy I discovered this place. It is very unique and still new to wedding receptions so most people haven't been there before. We loved it!

    The NCAA was exactly what I needed for my wedding. If you are wanting a downtown location I highly suggest checking it out. The Christine Grant Ballroom is like a blank canvas which allows you to create your own look for your wedding. All the staff was great to work with, especially Katie Putnam. Throughout the planning process we stayed in touch as needed and she really helped me to put the finishing touches on in the final weeks leading up. Another great thing about this venue is the food, I was very impressed at our tasting and it was just as great the day of the wedding! We also had access to great locations for pictures without going far!

    Our wedding was amazing! Katie and her staff rocked! Everything flowed flawlessly without any hiccups. While planning the wedding, Katie always answered my emails within minutes of me sending them, even on her days off! I'd definitely recommend the Hall of Champions to other brides!

    Everything was followed after and taken care of, the service and staff were very attentive.

    The wedding was in the large meeting room on the 1st floor, would not put the bar straight out just past the Receiving Line. caused some congestion.

    With everything all spread (Hall of Champions)out it was a little difficult to know when the cake was cut, etc. We probably should have had a program/script set up for all to know.

    We (the couple), our twelve-person wedding party and all our guests adored our reception at the Christine Grant Ballroom! We shared a lovely evening on the Canal full of delicious desserts, great dancing, and the kindest crew we could imagine.

    Katie Putnam deserves a special review all her own. Katie responded to every email (I planned the wedding a state away) with care and was so helpful during our final planning stages, even the day before the reception and during. I can't speak highly enough of the care Katie gave to us bride and groom. From our first meeting with her as a couple to saying a hearty "good night" to her at the end of our reception, I can never thank Katie enough for all the earnest, honest, awesome help and attention she gave to our special night.

    If you're looking a reception venue in Downtown Indianapolis, you NEED to choose the NCAA Hall of Champions! You will not regret working with them!

    The NCAA is a fantastic venue! The ballroom has gorgeous floor to ceiling windows and the staff is just great. Our coordinator, Katie Putnam, is the best. She is timely, flexible, and makes the brides feel at ease. She accommodated all of our requests and was present during the entire rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception. I cannot thank her enough and I highly, highly recommend the NCAA Hall of Champions for your reception or rehearsal (or wedding)!

    We hosted our daughter's reception at the Hall of Champions. The team was very helpful, responsive and professional. The food was fantastic and the venue is beautiful. There was a large wall of windows that had a wonderful view of the city! We also had an area where our guests could sit outside. Compared to other venues the pricing is very fair and competitive. We would highly recommend it! It was a perfect day!

    From the moment we met with Katie Putnam at the NCAA, we knew that our wedding and reception would be perfect. Everyone there is so professional and wonderful to work with. Katie made sure that I always felt at ease with all of our decisions and I never had any doubts throughout the entire process. The prices were extremely reasonable and believe me, I did a lot of research on other venues before we found the NCAA. I should also mention that the food is amazing. Everything was fresh and so flavorful. For the day of, everything went off without a hitch. I wasn't stressed at all and Katie made sure that everything was perfect. The entire staff was such a delight to work with and I heard nothing but positive comments from our guests of how great the venue, the food, and the staff were. If you are looking for a wedding venue, I wouldn't look anywhere else and I hope you are lucky enough to work with Katie.

    Planning a wedding has many moving parts, but when you choose a place for the reception, to cater 300 people, you want to make sure things run smoothly. When my both of my daughter's and I met with the NCAA - it really set the tone for how the day would go. They were accommodating, responsive, and so professional. The food choices were wonderful, and the overall night was tremendous. Having the reception so close to the canal gave so many wonderful choices for photographs. It was truly the best day.. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone.

    My wedding was recently held in the new NCAA Ballroom. The venue was absolutely PERFECT! Our guests commented throughout the entire night that the ballroom was unique and beautiful in large part due to the floor to ceiling windows overlooking White River Park. Kelly Kees (the wedding coordinator at the NCAA) was a huge part of our wedding going flawlessly. Kelly was extremely helpful and responsive throughout the entire planning process. All costs were brought to our attention prior to signing the contract and there were zero surprises along the way. The catering staff was extremely nice and on top of everything. The food was delicious! We had a buffet and there was plenty of food left over after all of our guests went through. Our wedding was the second wedding to be held in the new NCAA ballroom and yet the entire ceremony and reception went extremely smoothly. I believe picking a location is the hardest decision regarding planning a wedding. I was absolutely thrilled with my husband and my decision to hold our wedding at the NCAA ballroom. I can't say enough wonderful things about the NCAA ballroom and Kelly Kees!

    We loved this venue! Kelly Kees was a pleasure to work with. The staff there did everything necessary to make our day great. We had both ceremony and reception at the Hall of Champions and we couldn't be more happy.

    Perfect Venue for Downtown Wedding!

    We are very happy with our choice of the NCAA Conference Center for our June 2019 wedding! The event coordinator, Kelly Kees was great to work with and was very responsive to all of our questions and gave great suggestions on different items for our reception that we were overlooking. We were able to drop off items for setup ahead of time and Kelly and her team took care of the rest! Centerplate Catering is the designated caterer for this venue but we actually enjoyed not having to research another vendor and not having to coordinate between the two. We had a few family members with dietary restrictions and the chef and catering staff were able to accommodate all of our requests. Kelly and her staff made the day of stress-free and we were able to relax and enjoy celebrating with our family and friends! Highly recommend this venue and a great value if looking for a downtown location.
