THE BEST venue for an Indianapolis Wedding

LOOK NO FURTHER: Laurel Hall was one of six places we looked at in late fall 2020 for our June 2021 wedding. With only ONE Saturday date open, we didn’t hesitate to book. We set up a tour and fell in love with the character and charm. From the grand entrance lobby to the light and airy dining room. The wooden staircase captures all the elegance you’ll ever need. They had a stunningly beautiful bridal suite on the second floor and a fabulous library room for the groomsmen. The solarium was where we had our first dance. The outdoor space is so spacious and fit our 120 guests comfortably with room to spare.

Inga and Lindsay were so easy going and responsive via email. They answered all my questions even up until the day of the wedding. Laurel Hall was right in the middle on pricing for venues in Indy, which was so perfect for us. The day of the wedding we coordinated with the maintenance manager to make sure everything was in order. Everything went so smooth! We decided to do our ceremony outdoor as it was a beautiful summer night. (The backup option was the third floor chapel which is breathtaking.. would have been thrilled to have our ceremony up there).

The venue doesn’t even have to be decorated like a typical wedding, it decorates itself! We were so impressed start to finish with the entire process. I don’t think we have any thing at all negative to say about them. Hands down recommend your dream wedding at this hidden gem estate!

European Castle in Indy

Laurel Hall was such a stunning venue for my Indianapolis wedding. Greta and her team were flexible and welcoming and the venue truly speaks for itself. The various spaces for celebrating and taking photos are amazing. Several people who have seen the photos thought Laurel Hall was a European castle! You don't want to miss Laurel Hall!

Perfect Venue for an enchanting wedding

Laurel Hall was the most beautiful venue I could have chosen in Indianapolis. We had guests fly in from 16 different states for our wedding, and many out of towners said it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever seen! The Laurel Hall staff was a dream to work with, and I couldn't have asked for a better venue, day, or team to work with!

Dream Venue

We got married at Laurel Hall on 06/25/2021 and I can’t recommend it enough. Great location, beautiful inside & outside, and gorgeous architecture, plenty of parking, and plenty of beautiful views. It was my dream venue and I’m in love with it. The manager and all staff are amazing and were so helpful the entire way through. They also work with a lot of great vendors that they recommended to us. Due to the pandemic in 2020 we had to reschedule our wedding three times and the manager was very flexible and understanding of the situation and worked with us to make sure we made the right decision and we couldn't have been happier!

We loved our small ceremony at Laurel Hall!

Wow Laurel Hall just offers so much! My husband and I planned a very small wedding ceremony (15 people) and Laurel Hall was so accommodating for our needs in these Covid times!

We wanted a romantic space that gave us the best of both worlds…beautiful photos indoors if it rained and gorgeous gardens if it didn’t.

We kept our festivities contained to the solarium, the terrace and gardens. It was just big enough for our group, but there is so much space that if you’re throwing a bigger bash, there’s plenty of area to do it. Every single space in the house just felt so special and like an opportunity for a memorable picture.

The team is responsive and answered all our questions so thoroughly. The pricing was super reasonable comparatively too. The space is flexible, just beautiful and historic and we can't recommend it enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
