FAR Weddings and Events, located in the FAR Center for Contemporary Arts, is a magical place where couples can celebrate their big day in Bloomington, Indiana. It is the type of wedding venue people hoped they would find; one that is spacious yet intimate, and sleek yet flexible. Whatever the wedding day vision may be, FAR Weddings offers architectural details that won't clash and an open vendor policy that gives folks the most broad choice possible. Their mission overall is to create a space for contemporary art and creativity, as they question boundaries, awaken conversations, and shape lives.

Facilities and Capacity

There are four main function spaces at FAR Weddings and Events, each one connected by an open atrium, bar, and kitchenette. The largest and most popular venue among newlyweds and their guests is the indoor theatre, featuring a large portable stage, two twelve-foot garage doors, and an overall capacity of up to 150 people. An indoor gallery provides ample space for a cocktail hour celebration, as well as being ideal for a micro wedding gathering, while the library doubles up as a dressing room for the immediate wedding party. The garden provides extra outdoor space, should it be required.

Services Offered

There is plenty to do in the local area and in downtown Bloomington, especially in the historic entertainment and arts district. Numerous bars, restaurants, and hotels are within walking distance of FAR Weddings and Events, so guests won't need to worry about driving, parking, or even catching an Uber. To learn more, couples can arrange a private consultation with Sylvia or another team member.

An Absolute Dream!!

My husband and I were really particular about picking a venue. We wanted somewhere that was minimalist, beautiful, and comfortable for our guests. Our ceremony and reception were exactly that! Emma & the whole team at FAR made our day more than we could've hoped for. I highly recommend FAR to any and everyone looking for a venue!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
