  Our ceremony was held in the Simon Reading Room of the Central Library, downtown Indianapolis. We could not have picked a more gorgeous venue! All of our guests raved about the venue. They could not believe how beautiful everything was. We didn't need any decorations because the room is just so naturally stunning. Jenelle was our coordinator and she was absolutely perfect! Along with our officiant, Janelle helped run the entire rehearsal and the entire ceremony. We would not have had a perfect day without Janelle and the library staff. The professionalism and kindness they showed my husband and I can't be found anywhere else. We are so very grateful and would recommend this venue and their staff to anyone!

  I’m so glad we decided to have our wedding at the library. The space is gorgeous. The Simon Reading Room was the perfect setting for gothic, elegant wedding. Our guests raved about how beautiful it was. One of the selling points for having our wedding at the library was having the entire space on our wedding day. Some venues have multiple events or weddings take place on the same the day and while the library could definitely accommodate multiple events, having it all to ourselves was great!
  
  The staff was wonderful to work with. They were open to our out of the box ideas and provide guidance in execution, which turned out flawlessly. Janelle was great to work with. She was prompt with communication response time and provided informed answers. She stayed late an evening before the wedding to test the lighting with us and answered all of our last minute questions. Our wedding went flawlessly, with the help of the library’s team. I wish I could have two weddings so I could have another reason throw an event at the library!

  I loved my wedding reception. The Indianapolis Public Library was perfect. We had our reception in the Simon Reading Room, and it was better than I even imagined it would be. We wanted our wedding to feel very cozy and intimate, and the library was a beautiful backdrop. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. Our guests were very impressed and had a great time!

  We had passed hors de oeuvres & cocktails in the Simon Reading Room. The warmth of the wood and the lighting made the room so beautiful. But that was nothing compared to the main library room for the reception. The column lighting made the entire room glow! The sound for the band was good, the lay-out of the tables was great. We couldn't have chosen a better venue for our daughter's wedding! We had friends comment that they had been to 6 weddings so far that year, and ours was the best. Wonderful place to host a wedding!

  The Library is a beautiful setting for a wedding. Its natural charm lends class and elegance to the event. The library staff was extremely easy to work with and helpful. While it is expensive, my husband and I think it was worth every penny. This venue makes the event!

  The Smith Reading Room was beautiful, and was perfect for the size ceremony we were planning. They worked well with our various vendors. Not inexpensive, but worth it.

  The library was a beautiful place to get married! Janelle was responsive and it seemed like all the set up and logistics went smoothly. It's a little pricey and the time constraint is a bit of a pain - since the library's a public space we couldn't get started till after it had closed. But we thought it was worth it!
