Why Couples Choose Us

Not Just a Venue.
A Story You'll Tell Forever.

Your guests will remember where they were. The 1898 brick walls, the Edison string lights casting a warm glow overhead, and the fact that the father of Hook's Drugs made beer in this building.

This is the only surviving pre-Prohibition brewery in Indianapolis. Every other one was demolished. This one became your wedding.

Libations Lounge Takes Over

Your guests move into the Libations Lounge for craft cocktails while the Edison Room flips for your reception. The bar is the centerpiece — and the bartenders become the life of the party.

Reception

Dinner, Dancing, Celebration

Seat 250 for dinner, clear the dance floor, or both — the Edison Room handles all of it. In-house bar service keeps drinks flowing, and the 24 Shelby Espresso Martini has become the unofficial wedding nightcap.

From Our Couples

If I could give this 10 stars I would. Sarah is absolutely amazing. She has spent so many dedicated hours on this space and it truly shows. She went above and beyond and her attention to detail is amazing.

Kaleigh Fitzgerald

Wedding

Sarah was truly the best to work with from beginning to end — it truly felt like things just fell into place. The bartenders were probably the most popular people there. And my grandma loved all 3 of her margaritas.

Marin Borst

Wedding Ceremony & Reception

My favorite event venue in Indiana now. Sarah is an absolute rock star from the initial info call to the last call of the party. This place is even better than the 5 star rating. Best kept secret in Indy… although not for long.
