Built during the Gilded Age of 1903 and newly restored in 2023, The Carnegie is an entirely unique event venue located in historic downtown Elwood, Indiana.

With its vintage charm, neoclassical style, and modern touch, The Carnegie offers an incredible setting for your weddings. Located conveniently within 30 miles of Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield, Kokomo, Muncie, and Marion (and only 45 miles of Indianapolis), The Carnegie is priced very competitively for these markets.

Not only is The Carnegie extremely budget-friendly, but it is also only just starting to book events, meaning it offers a fresh experience for all who gather there.

Key features include the library's original octagonal oak circulation desk in the grand main entry, a large bridal suite with comfortable furnishings and LED wall mirror, a fully-outfitted billiard room for the groom and his groomsmen, a (future) speakeasy cocktail lounge space, a commercial catering kitchen, and modern restrooms on both levels of the building.

Picture this…it's cocktail hour, and your guests are enjoying drinks and hors d'oeuvres while listening to the likes of Billie Holiday, Etta James, Frank Sinatra, and Dean Martin…immersed in a classy reception hall, complete with original exposed brick, towering mahogany columns, luxurious dark oak wood furnishings, original heart of pine and mosaic tile flooring, and warm antique lighting.

If your vibe is vintage elegance, then The Carnegie is the place for you. Wedding trends may come and go, but a venue like The Carnegie is timeless. Steeped in history, our private library brings sophistication and romance to any event.
