I would 10000% recommend the Eiteljorg Museum! If you are looking for an outdoor venue for the ceremony and pictures but also want indoor amenities all in the downtown area of Indianapolis, the Eiteljorg is GOLD.
I am a wedding photographer and every time my bride and groom tells me the venue is the Eiteljorg, I am extremely happy! The property is private and hidden from the general public, but it is so close to downtown that you can have photos both with the city sky lines and in the gardens. The property is BEAUTIFUL and has lots of plants, trees, flowers- perfect for photos.
The staff goes above and beyond to help and are extremely professional. The indoor space has a very natural feel to it and has a beautiful view of the city. The location is extremely convenient- right on the canal and within walking distance of many hotels. Guests could walk from the JW to the venue with no problem.
If you want beautiful ceremony photos in nature and then party it up in an amazing inside venue, this place has it all!
The Eiteljorg was the perfect spot, both in terms of venue size and feel, to host our wedding reception. The event staff and catering staff were seamless to work with, and were very helpful throughout the planning process.
We had a live band, and they happily utilized the existing stage in the ballroom. The ballroom was the perfect size for our wedding - we had 150 in attendance, and we could have fit more tables, if needed. This allowed for plenty of room on the dance floor, which was busy all night!
We had the perfect evening at the Eiteljorg, and I would recommend for any classy wedding. We even opened some of the first floor galleries for guests to visit during the cocktail hour, and we're still receiving positive feedback from our guests about their experiences at the venue!
We booked the Eiteljorg as the venue for our wedding. Everything was perfect, even the weather. I had initially met and booked with one person, she ended up leaving so our event was turned over to another coordinator. Once I was made aware of this things were handled beyond my expectations. The venue is beautiful, along the canal, outdoor and indoor space to use. We held our wedding ceremony in the round garden area, small enough for intimacy but large enough to hold all our guests (112) comfortably. Eiteljorg along with Kahn's catering will work to make your day all you want it to be. Great venue, great service, perfect night.
The Eiteljorg was an absolutely wonderful place to get married, the event coordinators were easy to work with and flexible with requests, and Kahn's Catering was wonderful! A beautiful venue with people who will work with you to have your dream day.
After looking into a lot of downtown Indy venues and not finding one we loved, my husband and I decided to look into the Eiteljorg. I had never been to the Eiteljorg before and did not realize that it could be used as a wedding venue, but I am so glad that a friend mentioned it to me! We had our ceremony in a church and used the Eiteljorg for the reception, and it was perfect! Kelsey and Grace were our contacts and were very responsive and helpful throughout the process. They allowed us to come look at the space whenever we needed to and helped us to figure out a table setup that worked for us! The Eiteljorg is such a unique venue and I immediately loved clean look of the building and the option of indoor and outdoor spaces. We held our cocktail hour outside and our reception in the ballroom and used the common area for our bar and photobooth. I loved that the ballroom is round because it allowed the guests to be close, but never felt crowded. The day was perfect and we received so many complaints on the venue from guests!
As father of the bride - my only daughter - I was very picky with what I wanted for her wedding. I could not have been happier that we chose the Eiteljorg. Grace was fantastic to work with throughout - responsive to our needs and she took a personal interest in the wedding. I recommend the Eiteljorg to anyone planning a wedding and looking for a beautiful and elegant venue
Eiteljorg is an excellent wedding venue! My bride and I worked with Grace and Kelsey who did a phenomenal job! The event was in their gardens, which were gorgeous on the day of our wedding! Cocktail hour was down near the canal, which was great and provided plenty of room for guests. The canal worked great for us to get wedding photos during cocktail hour. The reception was inside, and was setup beautifully and just as we had requested! The staff is great, and the whole experience was perfect!
The Eiteljorg Museum was the perfect venue for our son's rehearsal dinner. The outdoor pavilion is spacious, comfortable and perfect. Kelsey was fantastic to work with, so responsive and accommodating. Kahn's catering is so outstanding that I limited my search to those venues that they cater. I couldn't have been happier, start to finish!
Kelsey helped my husband and I have the wedding of our dreams. She was very attentive and kind. The Eiteljorg is a beautiful facility.
There was some construction of the parking garage during our wedding that was unexpected, which made parking difficult for guests.
Overall, I would definitely recommend to couples.
The Eiteljorg Museum far exceeded our expectations for our wedding reception! The staff was wonderful to work with, but Kelsey Priday-Donson went above and beyond to make sure that it was everything we wanted, especially after the weather caused some last minute changes! The Museum is so unique and different on it's own, but when you add in the flowers and decorations, the result was beautiful and even better than we had imagined! I would recommend this venue and staff to anyone who is looking for unique and beautiful venue!
As the mother of the Bride, I was involved with planning our daughter's wedding from beginning to end. I could not have been more pleased her choice of the Eiteljorg for the wedding reception. The vibe was formal and chic yet comfortable and fun for the wedding party and our guests.
Our guests enjoyed both the indoor and outdoor spaces. The shape of the Ballroom is difficult to find. The photos before and during the reception are amazing!
I cannot emphasize enough how pleased we were with our event planner. She was always responsive and professional and gave us the "you are the customer" experience we were hoping for.
We were also very pleased with the exclusive caterer who did a great job as well. Top notch, delicious food, and great service were among the comments we received.
Regarding value, I think we could have spent an equal amount of money at another venue with much lower standards and a reception that was far less exceptional.
If you are looking for a wedding venue with an elegant and classy undertone, choose Eiteljorg!
The Eiteljorg was the perfect venue for our wedding and reception. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate for us and made our day unforgettable! We couldn't have asked for a better place to begin our lives as husband and wife!!
What a great experience from start to finish of our wedding planning and wedding day. Received emails back from coordinator extremely timely and felt like I was the only bride she was working with. Venue was so versatile and gorgeous. You can set your wedding ceremony, cocktail hr, and reception up however you want. You get the venue all to your self and there is free parking for your guests.
The Eiteljorg was the perfect choice for my daughter's fall wedding. The downtown location, close to several hotels and restaurants, was a plus for the many out of town guests that visited for the weekend.
Not only is the Eiteljorg a unique and beautiful venue but the staff provided excellent service. Sarah Bean, the event manager at the Eiteljorg is simply the best! She has great ideas that helped in the planning process and is always responsive and organized. All of our outside vendors, (wedding planner, photographer, florist, lighting and sound rep., and DJ), found Sarah to be helpful and supportive.
Kahn's Catering, the exclusive caterer for the Eiteljorg, provided delicious food and service at a good value. With Kahn's there is something for everyone
and they helped us put together a wonderful celebration. We would definitely choose Kahn's again!
The Eiteljorg Museum is a BEAUTIFUL venue that speaks for itself. It has beautiful spaces - both indoor and outdoor. We originally booked the Eiteljorg because we loved their outdoor space on the canal, but due to rain our wedding had to be moved inside. Thankfully they don't double book events (as many other venues do) so there aren't any other weddings or events going on at the same time, which gives you the flexibility to use both the indoor and outdoor spaces. The event planning team at the Eiteljorg was just as impressive as the venue. Heather and Sarah were wonderful to work with to plan our wedding from start to finish. They were always very prompt with a response to any questions or concerns we had, kept us updated on any issues or concerns, and did anything within their power to help our wedding go off smoothly and as we envisioned. As our event coordinator, Heather was extremely organized - from the setup of all the decorations and layout of the rooms, to making suggestions on things we weren't sure of, to keeping track and communicating with all of our outside vendors - her organization no doubt took a lot of stress off of our shoulders. From the first meeting with Heather to our sendoff after our reception, we had/have the utmost confidence in her and the Eiteljorg team to put on a wonderful event.
We had the wedding in the upper gardens, cocktails in the lower gardens and reception in the ballroom - it was a fantatic location and the service was wonderful.
This Venue was fantastic! It was beautiful, Rachel the facility coordiantor made everything run flawlessly. All of the guest enjoyed the menu and having the cermony and cocktail hour outside was wonderful!
One of my clients recently used the Eitlejorg for their wedding ceremony and reception. The inside and outsides spaces are unique yet will work with almost any wedding style. We received top notch service from the staff and highly recommend this venue.
As a wedding planner, I have had the pleasure of working weddings on the Canal in White River State Park for several years and can say that you will not find a more incredible venue for a wedding than the Eiteljorg Museum.
The museum's unique beauty and space on the Canal make it the perfect location for a wedding ceremony and reception. The outdoor spaces are secluded and spacious with views to die for, and the ballroom needs very little to create the 'wow' factor most brides are looking for. All of that plus a pleasant and professional staff to help you with the details.
Each wedding I have worked there has gone off without a hitch, the food was fabulous and guests were amazed. I can't wait for the next one!
I have happy childhood memories from the Eiteljorg Museum and was thrilled to come back home and celebrate our marriage there. The wedding staff at the museum was so helpful -- terrific communication all the way -- and of course the space is beautiful.
The required catering company was a bit expensive and difficult to communicate with and get clear answers from, but the food was delicious and we felt like royalty at our private tasting session.
