  • Located in the 1 America tower: Views of Monument Circle - looks amazing at night.


  • Located on Monument Circle: Views of Monument Circle and great central location. You must be a member to host an event here but the process is very simple.


  • European style food with a focus on French Pastries. Approachable to those in the mid-west

  • Experience white glove, synchronized dinner service. The hospitality and service are impeccable. This will be a real treat for you and your guests. Choose from chef-curated menus or use their expertise to help create something just for you.

  • Tapas style, European vibes. Rent the full space for an intimate gathering or make a large reservation. Customizable menus available. Located on Massachusettes Ave, this is a great location if you'd like to bop around have some pre or post dinner cocktail snacks.


  • The brunch of our dreams! Milktooth is a real treat. You will likely need to buy out this space as they are not normally open for dinner.

  • Private dining in lower ballroom . German food. Open air beer garden where concerts are hosted in the summer.


  • Revolving Rooftop eatery located in the Hyatt hotel downtown[

  • St Elmo's sister restaurant - more private dining room options available

  • The upstairs cocktail lounge to the iconic local Indianapolis steakhouse

  • Bright and vibrant interior. Taco and cocktail focused. Located near Circle Center Mall.

  • Seasonally influenced, locally sourced food with great coffee and good cocktails


  • A locally owned steakhouse located in Fountain Square. Private upstairs dining available with the possibility of renting the downstairs. Owned by Fat Dan's.

  • Located on East Street just off Massachusetts Avenue, a vibrant walkable street of mainly local restaurants, bars and shops.. Semi private dining available. Great for apps, cocktails and a shareable experience.

  • Contemporary upscale casual dining. Private upstairs dining available.


  • Restaurant located in the Alexander Hotel available for buyout for private events.

  • Fresh, full flavored Mexican food in a casual environment. Family friendly.

  • Located on Massachusetts Avenue: Modern decor with a southern influenced menu.

  • If you're familiar with the Dugout in Foutain Square, this may seem like an odd suggestion. However, they purchased what used to be the gelato shop next door and have turned it into an event space. This would be for couples looking for a more laid back rehearsal dinner.


  • Located in Keystone area. Upstairs private dining and patio available for rental. Fine dining with great pricing for private events. Would be a great location to host both rehearsal dinner and welcome party
