Beyond Magical! Simply Amazing!

If you are choosing a venue for a wedding reception in Indianapolis, look no farther than the Indiana Roof Ballroom. We had at least half of our guests from out of town and none of them had ever been to an event at the Roof. To put it simply, it becomes MAGICAL for a wedding. No other venue compares. We were treated like royalty. Guests remarked that it was like being at an Italian Villa. The professionalism of the staff, top down, was impeccable. Kile Shaw was our coordinator and she was the perfect blend of professional and calm. Where do I start? The parade of salads, the lighting, the food, the continuous communication throughout the process. The Indiana Roof was the one vendor we never had a concern about. A few months before your event, the Roof invites those who have planned a wedding to a tasting, complete with the light choices, specialty drinks, appetizers, desserts, etc. We felt special.

After our daughter's wedding, we had countless people remark about how our reception was the nicest wedding reception they had ever been to. Mind you that we only had 196 people and the room never felt cavernous. The Roof knows what they are doing. We also did not choose the top tier bar package. The venue gives you many choices and works with your budget.

When I entered the reception for the cocktail hour, staff approached me as the mother of the bride, got me a drink, and I mentioned that I would like to do a sparkler exit. I did not know that should be planned in advance. The Roof was fine with it and provided extra sparklers and the personnel to pull it off.
The reception was so perfect, I don't see how it could have been better. Any other venue is just that....the Indiana Roof Ballroom is unforgettable.

Fantastic Night

All I have to say is wow.

Having our wedding reception at the Indiana Roof Ballroom made all my dreams come true.

From the moment we toured a year before, until we got into our horse and carriage after the reception, working with the roof was perfection.

Kile and her team are professional, responsive, educated, and extremely easy to work with.

I was planning this wedding while living out of state and Kile was extremely accommodating to our situation.

She would offer suggestions but never be to pushy. She was extremely organized and on the ball for EVERYTHING. Throughout the wedding process and working with a ton of different vendors, we always knew we could count on Kile and the IRB to come through and they always did.

On the wedding day, the entire staff was so gracious and helpful. Craig was professional and kept the schedule moving. I didn’t have to worry about a thing other than having fun!

I LOVED my reception at the roof and keep reliving the amazing night!

All I can say is WOW! The Indiana Roof was an absolute dream to work with - they made wedding planning fun! Jeff, Craig and Kile are incredibly patient, talented and detail-oriented. They executed every element of my reception with extreme care and tact, ensuring that my vision was carried out perfectly. You would think that they were coordinating their own wedding!

These guys/gals are ORGANIZED. I walked into each meeting and was met with checklists and options that I never would have thought of. They do not treat any detail as "too small" or "too insignificant." For them, production value is important.

Additionally, they were communicative. I never had an email that was left unanswered for more than 24 hours and each response was detailed, thorough and helpful. From the big things (coordinating with our band, for example) to the little things (making sure there were snacks and signature cocktails ready for our bridal party the moment they walked into our holding room upon arrival) - everything was flawless.

With help from the band + the team at the Indiana Roof, my fiance pulled off a surprise musical performance. Even the things I didn't know about were perfect. If you're on the fence about booking this spot for your wedding - DO IT! It is a jaw- dropping venue with a jaw-dropping staff. Thank you IRB!

We had an absolute blast and an unforgettable evening!

Most importantly, our friends and family have not stopped talking about how amazingly beautiful the ballroom was and the spectacular service they received while being there. Even guests who weren't part of the wedding party felt like the red carpet was rolled out for them and anytime they needed something someone from the ballroom was ready to assist. Jeff, Craig, Antonia, Kile, we knew you and your staff would be great but you truly exceeded our expectations.

We were even surprised by some of the ballroom theatrics! Salad parade presentation, sparkle confetti at the final song. Also we got great reviews on the food and drinks. Everything combined to make the night perfect. Both of our pairs of parents said it was the best wedding they have ever been to.

Thank you again for making our special day that much more magical!!!

First, I'd like to say that I do not usually take the time to write reviews, but my wife and I felt it was necessary to let folks know how awesome we thought the Indiana Roof Ballroom was!

We knew we were going to end up having our wedding at the Indiana Roof Ballroom within the first 5 minutes of walking into the venue. Its amazing how pretty it is!

Kile was assigned to our wedding and introduced to us by Antonia (I gathered she was the big boss) very early on in the planning process. While Kile put in most of the leg work with us, we saw the entire team, Kile, Jeff, and Antonia, during every meeting. They made us feel like we were the only wedding they were planning for! They outlined the process to make the planning go as smooth as possible during the first meeting, and then communicated with us via email when important dates were coming up. The planning was stress free!!

The meetings were easy and fun! Each meeting had a purpose and was well run. They were flexible and had some great ideas on how to make the day special. They encouraged us to bring our parents and are very knowledgeable about what works and what doesn't.

The day of service was impeccable. From the second we arrived, they made us feel like royalty. They took care of the bridal party and made sure we had everything we could ever want. They made sure the rest of the guests were taken care of with A+ service as well- we've received so many compliments about the service! From the bar service, to the way the salads are presented for dinner, to clean up... Things could not have gone better!

The venue is definitely the prettiest one in Indianapolis. While they could probably get by with average service, they take pride in what they do and it really shows.
Antonia, Jeff, and Craig really do go above and beyond. Kile was so much fun, professional, and really made things as stress free as possible. You will not be disappointed with this venue or the team that runs it!

There simply no other place as magical as the Indiana Roof Ballroom for a wedding. Hands down EVERYTHING was absolutely perfect!
The ballroom beauty and atmosphere are like no other. You can feel the history and the love of weddings past. The entire staff was warm and welcoming from the first time we stepped foot in the door. Antonia's experience is so incredibly helpful. She worked with us to make sure our daughter's wedding was the experience of a lifetime. This goes for the the entire staff! You won't find anything that isn't top notch. The preparation, the food, the service,the staff, the bar, the atmosphere….are all the very best! Our guests (both young and old and everyone in between) can't stop talking about how this was the most beautiful wedding they'd ever been to and that they will never forget it. They even made the flower girls and ring bearers feel special. Our 10 yr old daughter said she felt like a princess because of the way the server for the table treated her and the other children at the table. We never wanted for anything as they graciously saw to it that we had everything or anything we wanted or needed. We didn't want the night to end! I could write a novel on all the wonderful things the IRB and staff had to offer. It was pure magic; not only for our daughter and her new husband, or my husband and I, but for every single one of our 220 guests. We will never forget that night!

I had my reception at The Roof and it was beyond my wildest dreams. The second we got there they were there by my side the whole night to make sure that everything was moving along smoothly, that everyone knew where they needed to be and when, and they made everything perfect. I was blown away the first time I actually stepped into the ballroom because it was so gorgeous. Just absolutely perfect and the staff there are true wedding experts and professionals. If anything went wrong I never knew about it because they took care of it!

Wow! I can't even begin to describe how pleased I was with the fabulous team at the Indiana Roof Ballroom! My daughter's wedding was not only stunning, but the food was delicious, and the wait staff completely courteous and professional. They made the evening magical for my daughter, as well as all of our guests. We had guests from all over the country, and all over the world. Everyone was blown away by the beauty of the venue, and the calm professionalism of the entire staff. Thank you, Antonia, Kyle, Jeff, Dave, and Scott for making this an evening we will all cherish for the rest of our lives.
