1899

rvous. To be honest, at the start of our planning process the complaints about communication rang very true. However, that changed about 5 months out and it made a huge impact on our experience. Not going to dwell on people that don't work there anymore because they hired Karmen who is AMAZING. She was super flexible and quick to communicate and help with anything and everything. She was popped in and out as we set up and her positive vibes and attention to detail was exactly what we needed. I was there the next morning to pick up some things and Kamen was showing a couple around. The soon to be bride pulled me to the side to ask about the reviews on here. I without hesitation looked at her and said, "that's old news. Karmen and the crew at Reverie have been amazing. You have to get married here." As for the venue itself, it was better than I could have hoped. We opted to do our ceremony outside, arching the chairs to round the front of the venue in a half circle. We ended up renting chairs for outside from MPB to avoid having to flip the space or have guests bring in chairs. This did leave for an issue of "uh where do we stand before we go down the aisle. So, we borrowed a tent with walls from friends to put off to the side. This was a good call and gave us a space to gather before and after. I only have one suggestion for the crew at 1899. It would have been bomb if one of the rooms in the Mansion would have been up to be rented for the day/night. This would have served as a great place to get ready but also just been really convenient. Side note, some of our guests found an Airbnb option inside the Mansion. JEALOUS. Finally, this venue is very LGBTQ friendly. We kicked off Pride Month with a gay wedding.

d up the phones. I caved in and hired a wedding planner about a month before the date so she could deal with them instead of worrying about it. The day of my wedding at about 4:30pm (my ceremony started at 6:00pm) the woman from 1899 sent me a text to remind me that all the trash needed to be removed from the venue at the end of the night. I thought that was extremely rude to send to me at that time and she should have sent that text to my planner? My caterers had already agreed to do all the tear down and trash removal. Our day/night went off without a hitch but it was no thanks to anyone from the venue. They have no staff besides the girl trying to sell the place to brides. There are plenty of beautiful places that are a lot more accommodating around Indianapolis! Save yourself the stress!

ly improved. This is such a beautiful venue, and I wouldn't have changed a thing.

d we needed liability insurance - which we did get - but nobody ever asked for proof. Then we had someone ask us if we had rented any tables/chairs from them (I had already provided a layout of where everything needed to go, they knew what we needed-- so I thought). Then she told me that it was going to cost extra for the tables and chairs.... but we were told by sales person/coordinator #1 that those items were included. HUGE mess. BUT our wedding day was absolutely perfect and I could not have asked for anything better.

edding within 2 months, so far the kindness and patience Kate has bestowed on us is absolutely outstanding. She has taken our calls late in the evening when my fiancé was having a meltdown and even met us at 10pm so we could see the space at night. I don’t know how any bride couldn’t fall in love with Kate and her charismatic personality! We will forever be indebted. The venue speaks for itself with such amazing elegance. The chandeliers were what drew us to the venue. We’ll be taking a chance and doing a winter wedding outside, the staff has helped so much to accommodate for this possibly very cold and snowy ceremony. We will be recommending the venue to any and everyone. (Our only current concern is parking as the lot doesn’t look that big and there are no large bridal suites for getting ready)

because I was unable to contact Katie. It seems that simply filling up the dates is more important than cultivating relationships and keeping the trust of potential clients.

on we looked at was incredibly expensive and seemed really difficult to work with the planners, but it's been a total breeze from our first call to the booking. I can't wait to get married here!!!!!!

even reached out via Facebook and my message was read but not replied to. If they cannot even get back to someone now, how will it be when it is your wedding day?!? No thank you. I want a venue that communicates. Just a warning to all the other lovely ladies trying to plan a wedding.

ing me different things. Once I got to the last person she was very helpful and responsive. It was great after that!
