Exceptional Service

Not only a beautiful venue, but Kelly Kees and her staff were incredible. We were able to bring decorations early and leave them until the Monday after the wedding. They even helped us set up! Hurrican Dorian had us concerned with guests being unable to make it and Kelly allowed us to extend our guest count date to see where Dorian would hit. During the rececption, everyone was so nice and professional. Again, Kelly went out of her way to make sure the bridal party and parents had anything that they needed! Our night was magical and Kelly and staff kept it moving smoothly and flawless.

Excellent venue

We rented the NCAA for our wedding reception in 2019. Kelly was very accommodating and easy to work with, which made my job being the bride/hostess much easier.

We could not have asked for a better reception venue for our wedding. From the booking process, to the planning process, up until the very end of the wedding, we could not have felt more at ease knowing everything was covered. Kelly did an amazing job helping us coordinate everything that we wanted to be included, down to the tiniest of details. She is a true professional and is truly unmatched when it comes to her expertise. We would highly recommend the NCAA Hall of Champions to anyone!

It is a wonderful location!! Beautiful spot right on white river park. Very scenic area. It's a nice space that you can make your own and also very modern. Loved working with Kaitlin. She was very helpful, responded quickly, was always polite and friendly. We felt like she was doing whatever she could to make our day special. She did a great job, can not say enough nice things about her.

Wow! We couldn't have asked for a better reception venue! Kelly was a joy to work with. We loved the price and the attention to detail that we got. The room looked beautiful and the staff was so nice to everyone. Our friends loved the open bar. The food tasted so good!! I'm so happy I discovered this place. It is very unique and still new to wedding receptions so most people haven't been there before. We loved it!

The NCAA was exactly what I needed for my wedding. If you are wanting a downtown location I highly suggest checking it out. The Christine Grant Ballroom is like a blank canvas which allows you to create your own look for your wedding. All the staff was great to work with, especially Katie Putnam. Throughout the planning process we stayed in touch as needed and she really helped me to put the finishing touches on in the final weeks leading up. Another great thing about this venue is the food, I was very impressed at our tasting and it was just as great the day of the wedding! We also had access to great locations for pictures without going far!

Our wedding was amazing! Katie and her staff rocked! Everything flowed flawlessly without any hiccups. While planning the wedding, Katie always answered my emails within minutes of me sending them, even on her days off! I'd definitely recommend the Hall of Champions to other brides!

Everything was followed after and taken care of, the service and staff were very attentive.

The wedding was in the large meeting room on the 1st floor, would not put the bar straight out just past the Receiving Line. caused some congestion.

With everything all spread (Hall of Champions)out it was a little difficult to know when the cake was cut, etc. We probably should have had a program/script set up for all to know.

We (the couple), our twelve-person wedding party and all our guests adored our reception at the Christine Grant Ballroom! We shared a lovely evening on the Canal full of delicious desserts, great dancing, and the kindest crew we could imagine.

Katie Putnam deserves a special review all her own. Katie responded to every email (I planned the wedding a state away) with care and was so helpful during our final planning stages, even the day before the reception and during. I can't speak highly enough of the care Katie gave to us bride and groom. From our first meeting with her as a couple to saying a hearty "good night" to her at the end of our reception, I can never thank Katie enough for all the earnest, honest, awesome help and attention she gave to our special night.

If you're looking a reception venue in Downtown Indianapolis, you NEED to choose the NCAA Hall of Champions! You will not regret working with them!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
