Aleksa Sent on 03/07/2021Wonderful Venue
My husband and I booked the Rathskeller before Covid hit and had met with the staff there a few times to tour/plan/taste food. Unfortunately we never got to have our big wedding due to covid (our decision to cancel and not postpone), but I wanted to write a review on here anyway because the Rathskeller was so wonderful to work with during that difficult time. The staff there was patient, understanding, and accommodating. The people that work there are good people and it was a huge weight off our shoulders knowing we could trust them. Even though we did not go through with our big wedding, they are first on our list to call if we ever host any type of event. -

We got to pick our menu and when we arrived they were personalized for us including our wedding colors. The meal was amazing and the service was great. I'm sure having the actual wedding reception there would be just as good as they did a fabulous job on our rehearsal dinner. -
User1598935 Sent on 04/27/2014I LOVED our wedding at the Rathskeller. It turned out to be a perfect choice and I couldn't recommend it enough! It allowed us to have a downtown elegant wedding without completely busting our budget. I loved the flexibility the Rathskeller allowed and the fact that they didn't seem to nickel and dime us on every little thing. We loved working with Josh and the fact that he was a straight shooter. Because it is a restaurant, the food was delicious! Everything was handled so professionally and I'm so glad we chose the Rathskeller. We did a cost analysis of some of the top downtown venues and this was by far the best bang for the buck. I was worried that might be reflected on our wedding day, but I almost cried when we came into the reception - it was perfect! I couldn't have been happier with our choice of reception location! -

Melinda Sent on 11/08/2012The Rathskeller was by far my favorite location we looked at and it happened to be the most inexpensive (for the size venue we needed). The wedding coordinators were very on top of everything both in the planning of our event as well as the night of. I had a vision and they helped me plan it out. Food was also INCREDIBLE!!! If you're wanting an open or partial open bar at your wedding, you can't get any better bang for your buck than the Rathskeller!!! Highly recommend to anyone!! -

Kara Sent on 07/12/2012I had my reception at the Rathskeller, and they also catered. The food was incredible! We had a very large menu to choose from, and we got to come in and sample for free. We had so many compliments at the reception on how wonderful the food was. They were very easy to communicate with and very well priced, especially compared to the other venues in Indy! I definitely recommend it! -

Lindsey Sent on 07/08/2011We got married at the Athanaeum Theater next door to the Rathskeller, but they were in charge of all the planning and food service so we dealt entirely with the Rathskeller. The theater is technically a foundation separate from the restaurant. We had both our ceremony and reception here and it was beautiful. The food was delicious (everyone commented) and the cheapest I could find in the downtown area. There is a minimum for the room-- 175 people. It was around 18.50-19.00 a person. We had many planning times and emails back and forth and Mary Yoder was great about answering all my questions and changing around the proposal for the wedding. Although we had to pay a hefty deposit for the room (all up front because it is a separate foundation), I thought it was totally worth it. It was a unique, huge, absolutely beautiful venue. And it is so large and gorgeous by itself that there wasn't even that much decorating to do! All in all, loved it. -
User1799695 Sent on 09/08/2014I LOVE this place! I worked with Tiffany S. who helped coordinate our reception. She was very helpful and always responded to my emails in a timely manner. She was always friendly about it too, even if I sent her 10 emails a day!
ROOM: The reception room was amazing! We rented the Kellersaal ballroom, and while it was a little pricey to rent, it is so nice itself that you don't need much décor. Everyone complimented the venue.
FOOD: The food was hands down the best wedding food I have ever had; and I'm not just saying that because it was my wedding. I did not hear one bad comment about it; only great things! We even used cheesecake as our dessert instead of wedding cake, which was included in our dinner. Price was great too! We only spent $20 pp and had 2 entrees, 2 sides, rolls and dessert.
SERVICE: The service was exceptional! The bartender personally made sure that my husband and I had something to drink at all times (if we wanted). The coordinator was on top of things as well, asking me questions when necessary and just keeping me in the loop with the events throughout the night.
Overall, I am so happy we choose The Rathskeller. We wanted a downtown wedding/reception without the expensive price tag. Our reception for 200 guests with food, 2 kegs and bottles of wine ended up around $8,500. Most places downtown require you to spend $10,000 on food alone, so it was very affordable and the service could not be beat! -

Brittany Sent on 03/29/2011We booked the upper ballroom for our wedding and reception. We had about 80 guest and it was almost the perfect size for our wedding. I wouldn't recommend wedding larger than 100 guests for that particular room, but they have other rooms available that are also very nice.
The food was delicious, our wedding coordinator was very responsive and helpful, and the service staff was professional and didn't get in the way. The upper ballroom is all hardwood and they arrange the room so there is space in the middle for a dance floor if you want. You need to bring in your own decorations, but I think that makes the space much more personal for your wedding (but a little stressful when you're setting up). They include the sound system in the room rental and the prices are incredibly reasonable.
I would absolutely recommend the Rathskeller for any event.
