    The best day thanks to Mavris!

    Do yourself a favor and book your wedding here!! We had our dream wedding here in Sept 2022 and I wouldn’t change a thing! From start to finish we were treated so well. Always made to feel a priority, very detailed process of planning and wonderful staff. I couldn’t recommend Mavris enough! Olivia was our coordinator and made our day a breeze! She was so prepared and helpful. Mavris made a stressful wedding planning process not stressful!

    An Absolute Dream

    Mavris is a gorgeous industrial-style venue. With 3 floors and an outdoor space there were a ton of places we could hold the different parts of our day and lots of places for pictures! The staff was so helpful and very responsive, which is honestly what I valued highly during the planning process as a bride. We had more than the average amount of dietary restrictions also, and the catering team was able to work around a lot of this to help us feed everyone! I couldn't rave about them enough!

    Mavris Wedding Reception Review

    This venue is absolutely perfect! Two reasons that led my fiance and I to pick this venue was because it had in-house catering, and we got a wedding coordinator to help 6 months out. All of the food was so tasty, and they have a ton of options to choose from. Our wedding coordinator, Olivia, was incredible. She made the weeks leading up to the wedding and the actual day so much easier and less stressful for me. I don't know what we would have done without her. They worked with all of our other vendors to make it easy on us. It unfortunately rained on our wedding day so we couldn't take a lot of pictures outside, but our pictures were still awesome because of the lighting and beauty of this venue. It was everything we wanted and I highly recommend!

    The Mavris brought every last dream and detail to life for us!

    We had originally intended on a December 2020 wedding at the Mavris but due to Covid we rescheduled for October 2021. The entire staff at the Mavris (especially our coordinator Maddie) was absolutely amazing throughout our entire planning experience. They were kind, thorough, and proactive. We were able to bring every last dream and detail to life. The service & food was spectacular and the space looked stunning. We would 10/10 recommend the Mavris to friends & family.

    A Magical Experience...

    Working with Olivia and the Mavris team was a dream come true. I would have no hesitation working with this team over and over again. They understood our vision and made our dream wedding reception come true.

    We asked the Mavris team to recreate our favorite spicy margarite recipe and they hit it out of the park. We have had nothing but postive feedback from all of our guests. 10/10 would recommend the Mavris day in and day out.

    Wonderful!

    We had our wedding at Mavris in September 2021 and hands down the best decision we made for our wedding! The venue itself is beautiful, but the staff make it exceptional. Olivia was our wedding coordinator and we couldn't say more wonderful things about her. She made the whole process seamless and a joy! The entire staff at Mavris was wonderful to us. We also have to shout out the cheif and kitchen staff for preparing the best wedding food we've ever had! Thank you again to Mavris!

    Amazing experience with the Mavris!

    We had to postpone our wedding due to COVID, and I was amazed by how flexible and helpful the Mavris was. On the day. of our wedding, everything went incredibly smoothly. They are a well oiled machine that knows exactly how to guide you through the day so that you don't feel any stress the day of the wedding. Definitely the best day of my life, and the Mavris was a huge part of making that happen!

    The Mavris is the Best Wedding Decision You Could Make

    I will continue to recommend the Mavris until the end of time. We hosted our wedding in June 2021 and had booked our date two years in advance. We originally booked the venue after falling in love with it at a previous event and hearing how accommodating the staff was. They did not fail to disappoint. 


    Through all of the stress and changes of covid wedding planning, Maddie and the staff kept me well informed and helped with navigating adjustments as our date got closer. They were super accommodating with our food choices and even went out of their way to have our favorite local rum in stock to make our signature drink. I appreciated the way they organized their planning process and meetings where everything progressed in a timely manner that left me feeling less stressed as each day went by leading up to our event. They were the most transparent venue with pricing and helped navigate costs and savings with some of the upgrades we wanted to apply.

    Very few venues will help the week of your wedding the way The Mavris does. Maddie and the team coordinated all the micro details with my vendors, setup all of my decor for me, and coordinated/managed the timing of the entire day. The entire reason our day went as smoothly as it did can be attributed to the Mavris team. We had a HOT June day and the staff kept our guests cool, comfortable, and happy. Three months after, we are still receiving compliments on how beautiful the venue was, how delicious the food was, and how helpful the staff was. Choosing The Mavris was the best decision we made in our wedding planning and I could not recommend them enough to anyone considering hosting their big day here.

    An absolute dream!

    In all honestly, Mavris deserves 100/100 star review. Hands down the best decision I made regarding my wedding. Planning a wedding during a pandemic was no easy feat. But the staff at Mavris made it so flawlessly easy, and executed everything so perfectly. And I truly can't say enough good things about Maddie, our coordinator! She was an absolute Rockstar and made being a Bride so enjoyable! If you're thinking about booking an event at Mavris, there is no doubt Mavris and their staff can make you event an absolute dream.

    Absolutely Incredible!

    I can’t recommend the Mavris enough! Our guests had an amazing time at our wedding and so many people have complimented the team at Mavris. They are all incredibly professional and hospitable. We worked with Olivia for about a year and we were constantly impressed. She is so good at her job and has a wonderful personality! On our wedding day, she made sure that everything went off without a hitch, so we could truly enjoy the day and spend time with our guests.

    We booked the venue before COVID-19 and then had to make many adjustments, but their team was flexible and accommodating as much as possible. The space is beautiful and is perfect for social distancing. Everyone enjoyed the night safely and no one got sick from our wedding. We also lost our DJ due to COVID, but were able to use the venue’s sound system and microphones for music and toasts. They honored my requests to use different sizes of tables for the reception to seat guests only with their household and space out everything. Their food service is well thought out. Dinner plates are served with covers, condiments are in individual servings for each guest, and all employees wear masks and change gloves frequently. The food is also amazing and the chef even makes his own gluten-free bread. That is unheard of!

    You should feel confident booking your event at Mavris. You will be in good hands and love the experience!

    Definitely recommend!

    Mavris has been exceptional so far! We decided to book this venue bc it has amazing views of the city in their outdoor spaces as well as very cool industrial chic indoor spaces! The wood, brick, and piping is all gorgeous. The individuals we have worked with have been quick with correspondence and so incredibly helpful in all of our planning and many questions. Would definitely recommend!

    There are not enough good words....

    Most people say that wedding planning is stressful, but I'm here to say that with the help of Maddie and the Mavris, I never got stressed throughout the entire process and I was able to enjoy the weekend from beginning to end.

    The venue is easily the first decision, the most expensive, and the most impact decision you make for your wedding or event. After narrowing it down to two venues we picked the Mavris. I was not 100% sure on it because they were the more expensive option. However, after having our wedding there I can say without a doubt that it was absolutely the right choice. Maddie, our day of coordinator and planner, guided us through everything, every detail we didn't even think of. With a steady hand she made sure the day of went off without a hitch. We walked in the day before expecting to have to do a lot of work to prep the space, Maddie cast all that aside, asked us what we wanted and handled it on her own with her team. She insisted we did not lift a finger except to relax at the hotel with a drink in hand. After the wedding they took the time to breakdown all of our decorations and prepare them for us to pick up the next day. I cannot tell you how huge this was! On top of that, I have a very restricted diet, gluten free and dairy free, and the chef was amazingly accommodating. There was nothing we asked for that they came close to saying no to. I cannot recommend them enough. Thanks Maddie and the Mavris for making the event perfect!

    Perfect Memory of Wedding Day

    Where do I even begin with how magical working with the team at the Mavris was? I was initially planning a wedding from DC and wasn't even able to see their venue in person. My sister and mother in law toured it for me and Facetimed me while they were there. Even through a phone video, the romantic brick and wood décor was breathtaking and the planning/event team women were so friendly that I immediately knew I was in good hands. I was instantly sold with knowing the Mavris could help me take the guesswork out of venue planning, catering, and day of coordination. They are multiple "super vendors" rolled into one - which I loved!! Halfway through wedding planning, our wedding planner took a new job elsewhere. I was a little scared at first, but the Mavris immediately assigned a new coordinator. So, I wanted to extend A HUUUGGEEE thank you to Olivia, who stepped in as our final wedding coordinator. She was always efficient in answering emails, taking facetimes with my fiance and I, helping with any last minute changes, and led the charge on wedding day to make sure every little detail was taken care of! I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect and seamless experience. I tried to think of one thing that went wrong on my wedding day and couldn't even think of one, that's how you know the investment was worth it. I'm still hearing from guests on how beautiful the venue was, how delicious the food was, and how much fun they had! Also, guests loved being able to mingle in different areas of the Mavris - they could go out in the garden or up on the rooftop balcony that overlooks downtown Indy to take a break from dancing. Overall, my entire wedding preparation with the Mavris was a magical experience. I would not hesitate to whole-heartedly recommend this venue to any couple looking to make their big day a perfect memory.

    The most incredible wedding venue you could imagine!

    Getting married at the Mavris was an incredible experience!! Our wedding was July 5 2019 and we couldn't have asked for a better venue and staff to work with. Not only is the venue absolutely stunning in and of itself, the staff made planning fun and easy and they took care of so many things for us. You have the entire three-story building starting at 10am on your wedding day and the bridal suite and mancave (where groom/groomsmen get ready) are amazing. They are spacious and beautiful and you can order pre-ceremony food and drinks to be delivered to the suites by Mavris staff throughout the day. Also, the food is all done in-house and is outstanding! Our guests RAVED about our food. Thank you Mavris for making our special day so easy and fun!!

    Our Dream Wedding

    We loved having our wedding at the Mavris. We fell in love with the venue as soon as we stepped through the front door and immediately knew that we wanted to have our special day there. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but having Maddie and the Mavris team help us with every step made it fun and a lot less stressful. It was easy to communicate with the staff, and they truly helped our dream become a reality. Maybe we are biased, but the Mavris is by far the best wedding venue! 4-6-2019 will forever be our favorite day!

    Absolutely Amazing Staff & Venue

    Held our wedding on New Year's Eve (12/31/18) and can't say enough about how amazing the staff was, how many compliments I received about the food, and the overall venue was gorgeous! We worked with Maddie (and a little with Ana) and their entire team from start to finish was perfect!

    Best Day Ever

    This venue is utterly amazing! It is a great price for being downtown. The unique industrial look and the fact everything in one place really drew us in. Pictures do not do it justice!! The staff was also fun to work with and very professional and timely!
