Amazing wedding experience September 2025

We had the most wonderful wedding at the Columbia Club in September of this year! It all came together beautifully and I could not recommend more. The Columbia Club went the extra mile, made things convenient, and truly worked with us like a partnership through this entire process. We worked with Taylor and she was fantastic.

Breaking it down:
-The CC was very easy to work with as far as design and rentals go. They have a personal relationship with one of the major rental vendors in Indy that makes it super easy to get things done and source things for the wedding.
-The food was FANTASTIC! We got so many comments that people loved the food and it was much better than the normal wedding food meal. I attribute this to the CC having a full kitchen that they use for many events etc. So they were very prepared the food tasted restaurant quality not wedding quality.
-Drinks: The CC kept drinks flowing all night. We never had a long line at either bar and they were super accommodating when I asked to add additional drinks to the menu. This was at an extra cost but a cost I found to be very reasonable.
-Service: They had TONS of servers, bartenders, etc at our disposal for the cocktail hour and the reception. It really kept things moving. They also recommended to add a couple more bartenders which we did again at a very reasonable cost.
-They let the band play until pretty much midnight, they let us drop off our wedding cake the day before and pick it up the day after. They are overall just really easy to work with and professional.

If you are looking to have an upscale event I think this is absolutely the team and place to do it.

Beautiful venue

We had an absolutely beautiful Christmas ceremony and reception at the Columbia Club. The venue is gorgeous and the cost is much better than its competitors. The food was amazing at the tasting and came out exactly the same at the reception. The wedding manager did change in the middle of planning our wedding, but the transition was smooth and the quality of their service didn't change. We had our ceremony in the Grand Lobby and the reception in the Crystal Terrace and since it was Christmas-time you could see the lights from the tree on the circle twinkling in the window (they also let us use some of their Christmas decorations which was really nice and very cost-effective!). It was also very nice that the venue is a hotel - our guests could rent rooms right in the venue. We are so happy we chose the Columbia Club for our wedding. It was an epic day and night and exactly what we wanted for our wedding.

We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at Columbia Club at the Crystal Terrace and it was such a great decision. Hannah was amazing to work with to set up the event, she was on top of everything and made the whole process incredibly easy. The set up was perfect for our party and the food was delicious, everyone gave so many compliments. I fully recommend this venue!

The venue is perfect for elegant and classy weddings. I would recommend getting a jump on the wedding decisions early because there are many, but if you forget a small number the wedding coordinator is excellent at discussing and trouble-shooting those details.

We loved the venue, hotel, service, food, and for us it was by far the best value for money however we had a somewhat unique circumstance.

We held our reception in the 10th floor ballroom at the Columbia Club. The venue is beautiful and you cannot beat the location right on the circle downtown. It was an added convenience that our guests could stay at the hotel. We were surprised to find the Columbia Club was actually more affordable than many other downtown venues. Hannah, the club's wedding coordinator, was great to work with. She was always professional and quick to respond to any of our questions. We would definitely recommend the Columbia Club!

The Columbia Club
- provides excellent service. The wait staff has years of experience.

- AJ, who will work with you on your wedding, is better than most planners. He comes up with amazing ideas that will help you in your planning. He was the one who told me about the Club old fashioned popcorn cart that I could use for my movie themed wedding. It was a hit!

- AJ does lots of weddings and events each year, and he is really hard to get a hold of during busy times. It took us weeks to get the menu figured out - up until a month before the wedding.

- The Columbia Club is much more reasonably priced than a lot of nearby venues.

- The Columbia Club is a historic building with beautiful architecture and decor. If you are looking for a building with character, a history, and personality, this is it!

My guests were WOW'd by the location and amenities. The meal was delivered to all of my guests hot and within a short time. The facilities were beautiful and I received several compliments on my choice of venue.
The Colombia Club even worked with us to create a specific menu in our budget and taste and worked seamlessly with my wedding planner to provide services I didn't even know were happening while I enjoyed my wedding day!
The late night snack and special touches in the Wedding Suite were an extra special touch!
The staff and Hannah were amazing!
