Debbie Sent on 07/19/2023Great venue, great location, great staff, & great food!
The Wellington is a hidden gem off of I69 and 96th Street. The fee to rent the space is extremely reasonable. We chose this venue because of our budget, and we had a few out of town guests. The Hilton Garden is right next door to the venue, which made it convenient for our guests. Cami and Savannah were wonderful and helped us through all the details from start to finish. We signed our contract in June of 2021, and Cami let us pay what we could afford. Since my husband and I had to pay for everything, we would pay a little each month to reduce our balance. We appreciated the flexibility to "pay as you go." Cami also allowed us to use the hexagon arch for our ceremony, which saved us a rental fee and delivery fee. The transition from the ceremony to the reception was seamless. The food was wonderful, and the staff was friendly. One of my guests knocked over the centerpiece at their table and water went everywhere! Staff cleaned up the mess, and replaced the linen. Their quick response and helpful attitude saved our guest some embarrassment. Overall, I would definitely recommend this venue to family and friends. -

Best day ever!!
My husband and I had a wonderful experience at The Wellington. Holly made the whole planning process so easy for us - she thought of everything! While many wedding venues treat your day as just another one of the many other weddings they have, Holly made us feel like it was truly our day and nothing else mattered. She was very accommodating to all of our requests and her knowledge and experience were so helpful. We received so many compliments from our guests on the food and on the venue itself. Highly recommend! -

Perfect day
We had the most perfect day with Holly at the Wellington. We loved the venue, but we really booked because we just loved Holly. She helped us every step of the way and she is a perfectionist when it comes to the details of your special day. The room flip was seamless and our decor was perfect. We also really appreciated the price was straightforward and there was no feelings of being nickeled and dimed. I just can’t say enough good things about our whole experience from start to finish. We highly recommend!!! -

Amazing Vendor
I do not even know where to begin. I visited The Wellington years ago and knew I wanted my wedding to be held here. When I told my fiancé now husband I wanted to get married here he asked why. I stated because I love this placed. Not knowing after meeting the staff I really feel in love
and knew I made the right decision. Holly Green was so awesome, she listened to every detail I wanted and made it happen with no issue. Very good with communication, was on time with everything, very sweet person. With Holly she made being a bride and wedding planning a piece of cake. The food was amazing. -

The Wellington truly was the perfect place to hold our wedding! Holly made the planning process uncomplicated and stress-free. The communication was amazing, I cannot express how quick and easy it was to exchange ideas, emails and concerns. Everything came out amazing and everyone was raving about the friendliness of all the staff. The venue itself is beautiful with plenty of opportunity to decorate and make your own, which is just what I
wanted! Most of all, we were just blessed to have Holly guiding us and giving us advice along the way. Finding a venue that includes that in the rental fee was everything we needed; she thought of things I never would have thought of. Her knowledge and experience is something that every bride needs. I will never forget how perfect my wedding turned out with the support of Holly, Cami and all the staff at the Wellington. Hands down the best venue in town! -

Perfect venue, perfect day!
The Wellington was amazing and helpful from the first day we met them. Holly, the wedding director, sold us on the space and her services within minutes of meeting her. She took care of all vendor communication and timeline organization to deliver us the PERFECT day! We had a lot of family from out of town and The Wellington is located between multiple hotels which offered us room rates for our guests. The venue is beautiful and everything we ever imagined for our day! -

The Wellington truly was the perfect place to hold our wedding! In light of it being the year of the pandemic, our planning process was uncomplicated and stress-free. Holly and her team have my complete trust and did everything in their power to make our wedding day absolutely perfect. The venue itself is beautiful with plenty of opportunity to decorate and make your own. Most of all, we were just blessed to have Holly and her WONDERFUL planning skills at our disposal. Finding a venue that includes that in the rental fee was everything we needed; she thought of things I never would have thought of. I will forever remember my perfect wedding at the Wellington. -

Holly and her crew made my daughters wedding looking and feel like a fairy tale. It was so perfect and as for weddings go it was perfect. If you want someone that cares and takes the time to listen Holly and Wellington is where you want to stop.

No need to look further for a venue to have on your special day! Holly and Cami are AMAZING and helped make our day sooo special. Our day was small due to COVID, but it was beautiful and exactly what we wanted. We are still receiving compliments on the food we chose (definitely chose the chicken satay for an app) and how friendly and responsive Holly and her team were during the ceremony. We recommend them without hesitation! -

My experience with the Wellington from beginning to end was phenomenal. I planned my wedding over the course of a year and the first thing I looked for was a venue. Most of the venues I came upon were well outside of my budget. Until I found the Wellington Of Fishers, which is reasonably priced and they cater your event too!!! The food is delicious and the chef is accommodating to any dietary restrictions and preferences. My wedding coordinator was Holly and she is AMAZING. My guest count was over 100 people and she and her WHOLE TEAM handled my event with grace and high standards. Every single person that attended truly enjoyed themselves. Holly is organized, knowledgeable about the wedding industry and will go over and beyond to make sure your event is just the way you want it. She is like a one stop shop when it comes to weddings and she has relationships with other vendors that accommodated some of my other needs (DJ, Hotels, Florist, Photographers, etc). Major shoutout to Holli, Cami and the whole Wellington staff for making my wedding day unforgettable. There is no other venue I will choose in the future for any event but the Wellington! -

Shalynn Sent on 08/28/2019Fantastic Venue for Larger Weddings
Our experience with the Wellington started with a recommendation from a coworker who knew the owner. We had been struggling to find somewhere that could fit 200 people comfortably (the Wellington can hold more) without completely blowing our budget out of the water. While it didn't immediately stand out as being as aesthetically pleasing as other venues, it was clear from the first visit the space is very functional. In the end, we were glad we booked this venue. Once the drapery, canopy, flowers, etc. were added, it looked just as wonderful as some of the other venues we had visited. The walking distance hotels were a huge added bonus, since both families and many friends were from out of town. Our coordinator was VERY helpful and made some really great value-add suggestions for how to set up the room. She was very organized and did a wonderful job with setup, coordinating with our vendors and ensuring our vision came to life. -

Luke Sent on 01/22/2026A Venue That Turned Our Wedding Into a Regret
It took me two full years after our wedding to cool down enough to write this review. I do not write negative reviews lightly, especially about small businesses. I only do so when I feel that I have been disrespected on a human level.
At first, Cami appeared warm and promising. She emphasized that she was Catholic, just like my wife and me, which felt meaningful given that we were having a Catholic wedding. That sense of shared values helped build trust. That façade ended the moment we signed the venue agreement. From that point on, her demeanor changed completely. Whatever image she claims through religion is not reflected in her actions. She is not the Catholic person she presents herself to be, and in our experience, that claim served only as a veil for behavior that was cruel, dismissive, and deeply unkind.
Her behavior was ugly not only toward me, but toward my wife and our wedding planner as well. Throughout the planning process and during the events themselves, her temperament was consistently nasty, hostile, and confrontational. There was a complete absence of empathy or basic human decency, which is especially shocking given the importance and emotional weight of the occasion she was entrusted to support.
If you are a person of color or come from a different culture, I strongly urge you to stay away from this establishment. The fair pricing may seem appealing at first, but it is not worth the disrespect that comes with it. The treatment you will receive from the owner will undo months or even years of careful planning, intention, and emotional investment.
Our wedding was a two-day event: a cultural ceremony on the first day and a traditional reception on the second. Well in advance, I clearly explained which actions would be considered deeply disrespectful in my culture. Despite explicit conversations and agreements, Cami proceeded to do the opposite.
In the middle of our cultural ceremony, she began bringing out trash bags to collect a few used plastic cups, an action that is deeply disrespectful in my culture, entirely unnecessary, and profoundly disruptive. As the groom, I had to leave my seat during the ceremony to confront her. She was unapologetic and dismissed my concerns, stating she needed to “get ready for the next day,” even though we still had two full hours remaining in the event we had paid for.
Unprovoked, she used vulgar and inappropriate language when speaking to members of my family—people who had traveled thousands of miles to attend our wedding.
The second day was no better. The open bar was shut down two hours early, we were served significantly less food than contracted, and the alcohol brands provided were not what we had agreed upon.
At the end of the reception, I asked a server if my guests or I had done anything to offend the owner. Her response was simple and chilling: “No, it’s not you. That’s just who Cami is. I’m sorry.”
The most lasting memory of my wedding is not the music, the dancing, or the celebration—it is the nastiness of the venue owner. Even now, when my wife brings it up, I try to minimize it, not because it didn’t matter, but because I don’t want to further tarnish her memory of our wedding.
I will never forgive myself for choosing this venue, and I sincerely hope no one else is left with the same regret.

Anthony Sent on 07/18/2023Not what you hope for in planning your wedding.
I want to preface this review by encouraging you to do your research and read all the Google reviews on this business, and read this one in its entirety. Working with Cami and The Wellington pushed us over the edge and this was the worst service industry experience ever making a trip to the BMV look like a dream vacation in comparison. This review is our 100% honest recap of our experiences. We share so others may not fall victim to these horrific and unethical business practices. We also want to share that we would not be writing this review had Cami, the owner of The Wellington, taken ownership for her mistakes, tried to make them right or apologized to us at all during the process.
We had our wedding reception at The Ambassador House in Fishers. This venue is owned by the City of Fishers. Cami and The Wellington have a contract with the city to manage and execute events at the venue. As a result of choosing this venue, we had to work with The Wellington catering and Cami as our event coordinator. Working with Cami was an absolute nightmare from day 1 and if we had to do it all over again we wouldn’t go near anything associated with The Wellington. Its unfortunate because The Ambassador House is a BEAUTIFUL venue and event space. If the City of Fishers continues their contract with The Wellington we would not recommend this venue.
Once planning started, all of our meetings we had to setup ourselves. The first meeting in the fall of 2022 was supposed to be a linen meeting. We arrived at The Wellington and Cami wasn’t prepared and had zero linens to show us. She insisted that we would want to see our linens under the tent at The Ambassador House to get a better idea and that it would happen in the spring before our June wedding. She went on to state that this meeting was solely to pick out the linens we wanted to see at the meeting in the spring. In February 2023 at our group food tasting, Cami mentions to us that we need to have a linen meeting at The Wellington. We mentioned that she originally insisted on our meeting be held at The Ambassador House and she acted as if she hadn’t heard that before but agreed that it was a good idea. A few weeks after the tasting, we still hadn’t heard from Cami regarding the linen meeting, so we had to reach out to her to schedule ourselves. We reached out to confirm the day prior and heard nothing back. She ended up cancelling the day-of citing it was too cold outside and she “wore the wrong shoes for the conditions today”. My wife called her after receiving the email stating the cancelation to inquire why as she had taken off work to attend and Cami brought my wife to tears interrupting her and berating her for even questioning her last minute cancelation. In the service industry, you would think the event coordinator would look at the weather/prepare prior to the day-of. After we had some time to cool down from that experience, we reached out again to schedule a linen meeting for a third time expecting to see full linens of what we picked out at the first meeting back in the fall of 2022. We had to reach out twice via email to confirm this meeting. Of course, come to find out Cami shows up to The Ambassador house with none of what we originally picked out. When questioned about why she didn’t have the linens for us to see, she blamed us, stating that we changed our linens multiple times and she didn’t know what to bring. This is an absolute lie. We NEVER changed our linens or color scheme. When we tried to defend ourselves with this, we again, were met with hostility, her interrupting us and berating us. When this started to happen, the father of the groom stepped in to mediate as she interrupted the bride and mother of the groom already. Cami refused to answer simple questions or take ownership for her mistake and engaged in a shouting match with us, her customers. We ended up picking out linens from a small book with tiny swatches, never seeing the full linens until the day-of our wedding. Looking at them, we wouldn’t have chosen a couple had we had the opportunity to have an actual linen meeting.
During ALL of our meetings Cami was incredibly disorganized. It seemed as if she was taking notes, but when we would receive our proposals, nothing we talked about in the meetings was ever reflected. Because of her lack of detail, we were tasked to track it all ourselves, as we could not trust her to pay attention and make sure things would be taken care of. As a result, over a period of several months, it took 7 proposals for Cami to get everything correct. We can assure you, this was not because we changed our minds so many times.
It got to the point where Cami suggested we come in to hash everything out. We were skeptical of this initially as we wanted to keep all communication via email. Again, Cami exhibited her lack of communication skills by not replying for days and sometimes even weeks. She would create multiple email chains, not ‘reply all’ and not answer all of our questions, which in turn would cause confusion, leaving us no choice but to meet in person to work everything out. We requested one email chain and her to ‘reply all’ so that all parties could be kept in the loop, but she could not follow these simple requests.
The requested meeting was somewhat productive. At her request, we showed her inspiration photos of the way we wanted cocktail sashes to be tied and the way we wanted napkins to be folded. We discussed food options for the bride, as she has dietary restrictions, and discussed tables and bar pricing. Come wedding day, our setup team inquired about the napkins being set up incorrectly and Cami refused to fix them. Once she saw our friends fixing them, she finally jumped in to help. Additionally, our cocktail sashes were not tied the way we showed her either. Also, we were charged for Mediterranean chicken for our guests with dietary restrictions and day-of they were served chicken with no sauce even though at our previous meeting, we specifically stated we did not want that.
In the weeks leading up to our wedding after multiple requests, Cami finally sent us our venue layout with tables. We wrote in the table numbers for dietary and high chair references, but we also had to draw in our cards and gift table and guest book table as she left these off. After drawing these in, we emailed her the layout, our day-of timeline and certificate of insurance. She even confirmed receipt of these items. However, come the day-of the wedding it was apparent that she did not open or review these items as she had no idea where our cards and gifts table or guest tables went or what time anything was happening. By not reviewing or printing off these items, she asked our set up team multiple questions throughout the day, our DJ could never find her to ensure the buffet was ready for him to release tables for dinner, our cutting cake wasn’t put on the floor and our bridal party had to run it out right before grand entrances, and we had to personally find her to get the bottle of champagne we purchased for our toast. Because she could never be found, our timeline was delayed as a result. Had she prepared and printed the documents beforehand, this could all have been avoided.
After the wedding, several of our guests mentioned that the servers were extremely rude. We witnessed one of the servers walking by a guest, bumping into her and knocking her water glass out of her hand. The server did not stop to apologize, clearing knowing what she had done, even after we yelled out.
At the end of the day, our wedding reception went okay. However, reflecting on the last several months, we feel as though we were robbed of the joy of planning our wedding due to Cami. She is untrustworthy, unethical, defensive, and unapologetic to her customers. It’s unfortunate we write this review, but this is our story and we hope by sharing it in detail we can spare others from being robbed of the joys that come with planning for their special day.
