Beautiful Venue in Indianapolis

We looked at so many venues in Indianapolis and this one blew us both away! It's absolutely perfect for a large wedding and the space is jaw dropping. We had so many compliments on the food, the space, and the staff. Eva was the BEST to work with!

Beautiful & Historic Venue Creates a Magical Evening

We loved having our wedding at the Grand Hall at Union Station! From the moment we toured it for the first time, we knew this venue was special. It's historical architecture speaks for itself, and the history within it's walls made our wedding atmosphere one to remember. We loved the open space it provided, the train station influence that we incorporated into our day, and the magical elements all over the venue. We had incredible spots for photography & video footage, the upper landing was the perfect spot for a first dance & the old bar was such a crowd pleaser throughout the nice. We can't say enough good things about this venue!

The event coordinators, chefs, & staff worked so hard to make our day run smoothly, and they succeeded! From the decor set up, to the food prep, to the logistics of the day, every person involved played their part well and contributed to a beautiful executed wedding day. We loved Jenessa so much, and all her coworkers who also contributed to the success of the day.

The venue corrdinator Eva was extremely personable and helpful throughout the entire process. The staff there all the way down to the bartenders and servers were incredibly kind. We had the wedding of our dreams here and the photos we got back were beyond stunning! Thank you union station!
