Planning your dream wedding in Indianapolis? This city is filled with charm, history, and some seriously stunning wedding venues. As a wedding photographer who believes every couple deserves a setting as special as their love story, I keep an amazing list of venues I’d be honored to photograph or have photographed at and absolutely adore. Today, I’m sharing my top 10 Indianapolis wedding venues!

If you’re getting married at one of these dreamy spots—I’d love to hear from you!

1. Laurel Hall

A hidden gem tucked away in Indianapolis, Laurel Hall is the perfect blend of historic elegance and European romance. With ivy-covered walls, grand staircases, and that stunning solarium? It’s the kind of place that makes film-inspired photography shine.

Why it’s on my list: The architecture and grounds are breathtaking, and the soft, natural light is a photographer’s dream. However, the inside is just as gorgeous as the outside!

2. The Wilds

Just outside Indy, The Wilds offers modern-meets-rustic luxury. Clean white walls, sweeping views of nature, and timeless design make this venue ideal for couples who love an elevated aesthetic with a touch of organic charm.

Why it’s on my list: That reception space is the perfect blank canvas for romantic details, florals, and editorial-style portraits.

3. The Sixpence

This newer venue in Whitestown (a quick drive from Indy) has quickly become one of the most sought-after spots for stylish weddings. The barn is bright and airy, and the outdoor ceremony space is picture-perfect.

Why it’s on my list: I’m obsessed with the modern lines, beautiful bridal suite, and overall design-forward vibe. They also have a small house that the groom can use for getting ready too!

4. Lilly House Newfields

For couples who appreciate art, architecture, and beauty in every form, Newfields is magic. From the European gardens to the grand staircase inside, it’s a venue that offers endless opportunities for stunning wedding day imagery.

Why it’s on my list: It’s iconic. Creative. Elegant. And the light on the grounds at golden hour? Unreal.

5. Mustard Seed Gardens

This sweet venue in Noblesville feels like a romantic countryside escape. The historic barn, modern farmhouse vibes, and peaceful garden spaces offer so much versatility for photos and meaningful moments.

Why it’s on my list: I adore venues that feel intimate yet elevated—and this one is both. This venues hosts a house on property for getting ready, an outdoor ceremony space, a fireplace area for an amazing cocktail hour and so much more. This place really does have it all!

6. Iron and Ember

Chic, modern, and beautifully designed, Iron and Ember is perfect for the couple who wants a cool, contemporary vibe without sacrificing warmth or elegance. It’s filled with natural light and bold style.

Why it’s on my list: Those clean lines and massive windows are basically an editorial photo shoot waiting to happen.

Want to get married inside a historic train station? This venue is truly one of a kind, with grand architecture and vintage railcars that make it totally unforgettable.

Why it’s on my list: It’s dramatic and unique, with endless opportunities for creative portraits.

8. Scottish Rite Cathedral

An architectural masterpiece with old-world charm, this downtown Indianapolis cathedral is awe-inspiring. The stained glass, vaulted ceilings, and regal ballroom transport you to another time.

Located just outside of Indy, Daniel’s Vineyard brings an elegant yet laid-back vibe to your wedding day. With rows of lush vines, a gorgeous modern venue space, and dreamy sunsets—it’s a total win for couples who want a romantic vineyard setting without leaving the city.
