About

Tinker House Events is a wedding reception venue that is located in Indianapolis, Indiana. This desirable destination is on the second floor of The Tinker House, along the Monon Trail and 16th Street. The original appeal of this building remains intact, drawing in visitors from far and wide who appreciate historic structures. The aesthetic of the establishment exudes an industrial charm, amplified by exposed brick walls and hanging light fixtures. This refurbished space boasts plenty of elements that entertain guests, including barrel tables, light-filled windows, and wide-plank hardwood floors.

Facilities and Capacity

This venue is home to a total of 4000 square feet. It shares the rest of its floor space with other well-known businesses. These are establishments such as Hotel Tango Distillery and Provider Coffee. Patrons who visit here will be able to view the city skyline from the abundant windows that line the walls. Bookings for celebrations at this property provide enough space for up to 200 seated guests. That number is boosted to 230 for standing occasions. A typical wedding occasion set up in this building includes 20 guest tables as well as space for entertainment and a dance floor.

Services Offered

Tinker House Events has hosted over 200 events and the number keeps counting. They allow clients to rent out function space for up to 12 hours with additional hours available. The building is heated and air-conditioned, meaning that the whole party will feel comfortable during the attendance of a celebration. The betrothed will have the option to select a caterer from a preferred list and they are welcome to bring in their own unique decor. They are also given the leeway to choose their own DJ entertainment, meaning that they will hear the music that they want to listen to all night long. Each event is evaluated on an individual basis. If couples are curious about the requirement for insurance or additional details on packages and services, they may reach out to the venue for information.

Warm and welcoming venue

We absolutely loved this space. We thought we'd never afford a nice wedding, but we found Tinker House Events! Not only were they able to work within our budget to create a beautiful wedding, they were great at communicating every step of the way. We always felt like we knew exactly what was happening and when. Emma was particularly caring and kind throughout the process. We can't recommend this venue highly enough.

Stress Free Wedding

We hosted our wedding at Tinker House Events in early December and could not have dreamed of a better experience! Nearly a year in advance, Emma was incredibly responsive with our questions and creative in helping our vision come to fruition. As the wedding approached, I was blown away on numerous instances where I knew I had something from another vendor (photographer, cater, DJ, etc.) that needed to be shared with Emma and team, but she usually was already aware due to her constant communication with everyone who had a role in our day.
The weekend of the wedding similarly exceeded expectations. Emma and Brittany were our day of coordinators and ensured everything was flawless and that we were able to truly enjoy the experience. We were constantly amazed by their thoughtfulness and their attention to detail - pulling some extra food to the side because they knew it was our favorite and wanted to ensure we got it; having drinks strategically placed around so that one was always available for us in waiting rooms, reception areas, etc. We also cannot say enough great things about how much these two also helped our families with ensuring they had everything they needed throughout the day.
As the night ended, the Tinker House Events team neatly packed everything up for us and left a cart so we can easily load out decor and serving items the next morning. We cannot say enough great things about these Tinker House Events and our coordinators: Emma and Brittany! Would highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a remarkable and stress free experience.

Great wedding!!

We did this is relatively short notice (3 months) but that did not matter. The whole team (especially Emma) were amazing. The site was a great way to communicate and save all discussions. Their responsiveness was usually measured in hours and always clear. We really loved the venue and how they tailored it for our needs. Highly recommend for a wedding or any event

LGBTQ+ Inclusive Venue

Working with Tinker for our wedding reception was a fantastic choice. They were always responsive and worked with us on any request! Emma was not only super helpful and knowledgable, but also genuinely excited for us, and it really made us feel at ease through the process. Also, the bar staff were AMAZING. They treated our guests wonderfully all night. Their vendor open house they held also made it super easy for us to choose the perfect team for our day. If you're interested in a venue with a staff that is LGBTQ+ inclusive, seriously consider Tinker House!

THE Best Indianapolis Venue!

Choosing Tinker House Events as our wedding venue was by far one of the best decisions we made while wedding planning. As anyone planning a wedding knows, the process can be so overwhelming, but Tinker House Events and Emma (our day of coordinator) made the process fun and as easy as possible. From their preferred vendors list to 3D renderings mocking up what the space will look like with our choices to monthly open houses, it's clear Tinker House has taken every step to support their couples. We opted for the day of coordinator package, and used the 2nd floor for our ceremony and reception with cocktail hour downstairs at Provider. Everything was perfect and seamless. Our guests raved the whole evening. If you're looking for a wedding venue, or just an event venue, you cannot do better than Tinker House and their team.

Tinker House 10/10

My husband and I just held our wedding at Tinker House and it was the best night of our lives! The staff, specifically Emma and Brittany, were incredible. They were attentive to every need and made our vision come true. In addition to their professionalism, they were just lovely and kind people! Our guests were enthralled with the space and service. The vibe was nothing but love and party! Tinker House has incredibly visual interest and space to accommodate everyone aesthetic. As they say, 10/10 no notes! HIGHLY recommend!

Book Tinker House!!!

I WOULD 1000% RECOMMEND BOOKING TINKER HOUSE FOR A WEDDING. We also booked the Day of Coordination package and it was SO worth it. I cannot say enough good things about the team and experience! Emma & Brittany were outstanding! I never once felt like this was just another wedding to them. They made our entire experience stress free and memorable. So many of our guests told us that it was the best wedding they had ever been to and that was thanks to Emma, Brittany, and their team. I wish I could do it all over again and again.

Wedding at Tinker

Tinker House Events did an amazing job with our wedding! What drew us to them was their upfront pricing and different pricing for weddings in/out of wedding season and depending on which day you wanted. They also have their calendar available online so you know if your date is available right away. We opted for the day of coordinator and planning package which was worth every penny. Emma is great! She is so organized and kept us on track with what we needed to do. They also have a list of vendors that they have worked with and have a good relationship with that made things so much smoother as well. Brittany was our day of coordinator and did an amazing job at our rehearsal and wedding keeping us on time and things moving. We had so many compliments on the bartenders too - the craft cocktails were a hit - special shoutout to Gray!
