I'd pick this venue every time

Everything about this venue was perfect. Lorna and Freddie were perfect, the food was delicious, everything was perfect. I can't think of one critic to give.

The Eiteljorg was an absolutely wonderful place to get married, the event coordinators were easy to work with and flexible with requests, and Kahn's Catering was wonderful! A beautiful venue with people who will work with you to have your dream day.

After looking into a lot of downtown Indy venues and not finding one we loved, my husband and I decided to look into the Eiteljorg. I had never been to the Eiteljorg before and did not realize that it could be used as a wedding venue, but I am so glad that a friend mentioned it to me! We had our ceremony in a church and used the Eiteljorg for the reception, and it was perfect! Kelsey and Grace were our contacts and were very responsive and helpful throughout the process. They allowed us to come look at the space whenever we needed to and helped us to figure out a table setup that worked for us! The Eiteljorg is such a unique venue and I immediately loved clean look of the building and the option of indoor and outdoor spaces. We held our cocktail hour outside and our reception in the ballroom and used the common area for our bar and photobooth. I loved that the ballroom is round because it allowed the guests to be close, but never felt crowded. The day was perfect and we received so many complaints on the venue from guests!

Our wedding reception at the Eiteljorg was perfect - in large part thanks to the team in place coordinating the details! Kelsey and Grace were wonderful to work with during the entire planning process. They were always responsive and their attention to detail made planning so simple. Set-up for the reception could not have been easier - we dropped of our items and spoke to Kelsey and Grace about what we were thinking, and we were so impressed when we arrived at the reception. They did a wonderful job and I would highly recommend the Eiteljorg for your wedding - it's a beautiful space with a top-notch team to assist you.

The Eiteljorg was a beautiful outdoor venue on a lovely summer evening. Kelsey made all of the planning a breeze and Kahn's catering did a spectacular job with the food. I couldn't have been happier!

The Eiteljorg Museum far exceeded our expectations for our wedding reception! The staff was wonderful to work with, but Kelsey Priday-Donson went above and beyond to make sure that it was everything we wanted, especially after the weather caused some last minute changes! The Museum is so unique and different on it's own, but when you add in the flowers and decorations, the result was beautiful and even better than we had imagined! I would recommend this venue and staff to anyone who is looking for a unique and beautiful venue!

We didn't even plan to get married in Indiana.The options we felt were most realistic were New York and Michigan. The Eiteljorg was supposed to be <> near school where we could see what visiting venues was going to be like. Yet, against long odds, this became **the** place. That could be the end of a sparkling review. That we couldn't find anything better. That few were even close.

By the time the event came, the built-in wedding planner had proven herself a master coordinator. I didn't need to hear or know anything about the behind-the-scenes decision-making. All gears clicked in secret.

Beyond that, the venue is kind of a dream. And they gave us full access to the ceremony area (outside, in a circular cove), the cocktail area (outside, near the canal), the exhibits, and of course the reception hall. The architecture everywhere makes an impression. The people let you live your day without thinking about the hundred-person machinations happening behind the walls. It's perfect.

The team at the Eiteljorg worked diligently in the planning process to ensure that our wedding was a truly remarkable event and that minor details were thought out.

During the planning process, Sarah and her team consistently impressed me with their response times and their willingness to consider (and help create) ideas that made our wedding unique. If I said, "Sarah, I really want to do this, but I don't know how..." she would help me come up with an idea. If I said, "Sarah, I'm concerned about this, what do you recommend..." she had a couple of solutions ready within a day.

I didn't want a cookie cutter wedding, and they worked hard to make the event unique and special. Throughout the entire process, I felt like they were working with my goals (and budget) in mind- they were not just trying to cram in another event (or add any additional charges) - which made the process very enjoyable.

We have received so many compliments on the reception - everyone had a great time. One family member sent a note saying it was the nicest wedding they had ever attended. While that made me smile and validated the hours of planning, I'm just glad that at the end of the day, we were able to celebrate that evening with our friends and family and enjoy a worry-free reception! Thanks for everything!
