Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
Located in the heart of downtown Indianapolis Indiana, INDUSTRY is an industrial-chic, blank-canvas venue full of possibilities.
INDUSTRY can host up to 200 for a seated celebration, and many more for a cocktail-style reception. The combination of brick walls, unique angles, large windows and exposed elements, create a stunning ambiance that needs very little, if any, decor. However, we’ve seen clients take this flexibility and create some simply stunning weddings and events.
Outside, the patio is ideal for photos, cocktail hour, and your favorite food truck.
INDUSTRY offers 24 hour rentals so that you can have the venue from 10am on the day of your event to 10am the following day, allowing you plenty of time to set-up and celebrate.
Couples are invited to begin their day in the comfort of INDUSTRY’s client suite. You and your wedding party will have ample space to relax and enjoy a pampering session before walking down the aisle.
Once you have made your way down the aisle and your vows have been exchanged, the venue can be transformed for dinner and dancing.
INDUSTRY welcomes you to choose your own vendors and can provide you with a list of recommended partners. Couples can also choose from a range of decor and services to elevate their celebration – from a photo booth, draping, to a mylar dance floor and more.
Included with the space rental are tables and chairs for 200 of your favorite people, cocktail tables, an outdoor patio and a client ready room. And INDUSTRY is pet-friendly so your favorite fur friend can be part of the celebration as well.
The team at INDUSTRY understands how much work goes into a wedding and will strive to create a seamless experience in the lead-up to your big day.
You will be provided with a concierge to answer all of your questions about the venue. INDUSTRY also offers a range of planning packages, from month-of coordination to full service, to help ease the planning process.

We had such an amazing experience with INDUSTRY! The space is beautiful and the open vendor policy allows for full personalization. The staff was so easy to work with and all of our vendors raved about how great everyone was at the venue. Alisa was absolutely incredible. She supported us from the very beginning of the planning process and without a doubt exceeded our dreams/expectations of our big day. She was professional, attentive to detail, and organized-we loved working with her. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. We had so much fun planning with her at our meetings. Her passion for her job and genuine care for us as couple was so apparent in everything she did. We couldn't have pictured a more perfect wedding day!!

Our Experience at Industry 828
Industry 828 was truly the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we started planning, their team made the entire process smooth and stress-free. They offer both full and partial planning services, which helped us easily navigate all the decisions that go into making a wedding day special.
Our planner, Alisa, was incredible — professional, creative, and genuinely invested in bringing our vision to life. She and her team went above and beyond to ensure everything ran perfectly, and because of them, our wedding day was even more amazing than we could have imagined. We would recommend Industry 828 and Alisa’s team to anyone looking for a stunning venue and a planning experience that makes your dream wedding come true.

We had such a great experience from beginning to end. This venue is beautiful, and was more affordable than other venues we were looking at but with just as much charm and capability. The staff is great. Our coordinator Alisa made the months leading up to the wedding and the day of the wedding run so smoothly! We had the perfect day and our guests had so many good things to say. Highly recommend!

Our entire experience at INDUSTRY was seamless and extremely organized. There was regular communication to make sure we were on track. Although we loved the venue as-is, there were tons of options to customize the space. If we weren’t sure how to achieve the look we were going for, Alisa honed in on our vision and offered ideas that fit perfectly. There was also full flexibility to use vendors of our choice. And, although our wedding was fairly simple, we opted to hire Alisa as our planner and it was a life saver! She is an expert and we never could have executed it on our own, especially not while trying to remain relaxed and at ease as the day approached. We didn’t have to lift a finger—just made the decisions along the way and she took it from there and executed perfectly!

INDUSTRY was everything we wanted and more for our wedding day! It was the perfect venue and the team was so accommodating for our larger wedding size. The open concept of the space made for a beautiful ceremony and reception, and the ability to bring in our own vendors allowed us to be creative and have some fun with our wedding day itinerary. Alisa, our planner through INDUSTRY, supported us every step of the way and truly helped our vision come to life! She made the day of the wedding seamless and made sure we only had to focus on enjoying ourselves and all our guests. We cannot recommend INDUSTRY enough, and if you choose this venue, make sure to work with Alisa, she is the best :)

We had our wedding at INDUSTRY in January and it was the most magical day! We toured quite a few wedding venues but once we walked into INDUSTRY, we knew it was the one. The vibe was exactly what we were looking for - very close to downtown Indy, brick walls, string lights, moody aesthetic at night, it was perfect! Another perk was INDUSTRY was beautiful enough that we really didn’t need much decor. From the start, the entire staff was so helpful and welcoming. We decided to go with the “Month of Coordination” planning package and it was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding planning process! Alisa was our coordinator and I cannot say enough nice things about her. She fully stepped in 8 weeks prior to our wedding but if we had any questions before that, she was always available and so helpful. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without her! She had so many great ideas and really helped with relieving our stress, during one of the most stressful times! The decor set up/tear down and having multiple people there making sure everything was happening on schedule/dealing with any issues was so helpful so we could actually enjoy ourselves and not have to worry about anything! We also worked closely with Alisa’s assistant, Meg, and she was amazing as well!! Cannot recommend INDUSTRY’s planning services enough! Our wedding day was the most perfect day - 10/10 recommend INDUSTRY for anyone looking for the same. :)

We got married in July 2024 at INDUSTRY, and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for a better wedding experience. From start to finish, everything was perfect.
A huge thank you to our planner, Alisa—she was absolutely amazing! Choosing the partial planning package was single-handedly the best decision we made. Alisa was with us every step of the way. We met regularly, but she was always available to meet outside of those times whenever we needed to brainstorm, ask for advice, or just talk things through. She’s very detail-oriented and truly went above and beyond to make our day all that we envisioned.
We also loved the unique open vendor policy and beverage offerings.
If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with a team that’s there to support you throughout the entire process, we can’t recommend INDUSTRY enough. It truly made our wedding day unforgettable!

We got married in November 2024 & we couldn't have chosen a better venue than INDUSTRY for our wedding! The ambiance is absolutely perfect for any wedding or event theme, creating a magical atmosphere that made our special day unforgettable. The lighting is incredible, providing the ideal setting for professional photos that we'll cherish forever.
The staff at INDUSTRY are super nice and an absolute joy to work with. They made the entire wedding planning process feel effortless and stress-free. Their attention to detail and dedication to making our day perfect was evident in every interaction.
One of the best and most unique aspects of INDUSTRY is their pet-friendly policy. Our fur baby was able to be with us from hair and makeup all the way through our sparkler exit, making our day even more special.
We highly recommend INDUSTRY to anyone looking for a wedding venue that combines stunning ambiance, exceptional service, and a pet-friendly environment. Thank you, INDUSTRY, for making our dream wedding a reality!

We recently had our wedding ceremony and reception at INDUSTRY. We loved the aesthetic and the space doesn't require much decor as it is already so nice. Everyone was very helpful and responsive throughout the entire process and planning. Alisa was amazing at coordinating everything while also making sure things went smoothly and I had a great day as the bride. She was key in not having a stressful day! The entire staff and crew were so much fun and did whatever they could to help. And they didn't judge when the cardboard cutout T. Swift came out to the dance floor!

We cannot say enough great things about INDUSTRY! The entire team was welcoming and communicative. Our coordinator, Alisa, was so personable, knowledgeable, and fun to work with. She communicated with us through the entire planning process to answer our questions, give us advice, and turn our ideas into reality. She created incredible spreadsheets and checklists for all details so that planning was easy and stress free.
Alisa communicated with our vendors and took care of EVERYTHING so that we didn’t need to worry about anything the day of our wedding.
Our day was flawless and amazing because of her.
The venue itself was gorgeous. I didn’t feel the need to decorate a ton because of the character and lighting that it had already. The bridal party was able to get ready in a large and comfortable room right there at the venue so that we didn’t have to travel. We held our ceremony and our reception at INDUSTRY, and it was seamless.
You are able to stop in and talk to the team or look around every Wednesday leading up to your wedding. They also host events that help you see additional decor or find vendors.
The only thing we wished we would have looked into further when we booked was the few additional costs not included in the original quote.
We had the wedding of our dreams and would recommend INDUSTRY a million times over.

Alisa and the Industry team were fantastic - start to finish! Our daughter and now son-in-law chose Industry as their wedding venue for the beautiful urban vibe of exposed brick, black steel beams and warehouse windows. Alisa and fellow team members were flawless in planning and executing a spectacular day with no less than eight different food, service and décor vendors. The space worked brilliantly allowing the wedding party and guests to comfortably progress through the spaces, even outside, as the evening unfolded. Highly recommend!

In July 2023 we had our dream wedding at INDUSTRY! Everything was so perfect from the coordination to the actual celebration! Alisa was our client concierge, and she helped us so much throughout the planning process and made our wedding weekend so stress-free! INDUSTRY staff was overall incredible during our event as well because they set up decorations, coordinated with other vendors, tore down and packed up for us, provided the bar service, and we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. The space was also very clean and spacious! The cost of renting the space is in my opinion on the pricier side, but that is how the wedding industry is nowadays, so it would be hard to find a place with the same amenities at a better price. Overall, we have zero regrets or complaints and would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to get married in downtown Indianapolis!

We fell in love with Industry as soon as we saw it. We were beginning our search for a venue for our wedding and had no idea we would need not look any further than one place! It is stunning with its huge windows and doors, exposed brick everywhere, and large space. We have had endless comments from our wedding guests about how beautiful Industry is.
We also booked a month-of coordinator at Industry, Anjulie Farmer. She met with us several times throughout the year and then took over all coordination the month of the wedding. Anjulie made herself available to answer questions any time we had any, was extremely helpful during our planning, and had thoughtful, creative ideas. But what stands out the most was the work that she and her assistant did on the day of our wedding, which far exceeded our expectations!
Anjulie was outstanding at keeping everything organized and on track, and we are so very grateful for her decorating skills. She worked quickly and efficiently for almost 12 straight hours and was still smiling at the end of it!! We could not be any more pleased with the job she did; she is excellent.
For anyone in search of the perfect venue, look no further. Seriously.

We absolutely loved everything about Industry and our wedding coordinator, Alisa! We began planning the wedding a little over a year in advance with very little vision and Alisa guided us the whole way, making planning fun and bringing everything together perfectly. We loved the aesthetics and size of the building- beautiful industrial beams, large barn doors, garage doors that open to the patio, large wooden dining tables, etc. Having everything in one place made the day relaxing and stress free. Due to the natural decor of the building, we didn't have to do much else in terms of decorating. We brought some pictures, got minimal florals, and used Industry’s backdrops. The flexibility of choosing our own vendors was a huge benefit and allowed us to make our wedding uniquely ours. Every detail with our vendors was coordinated seamlessly by Alisa including the band, pizza truck, catering, bar, photography, photo booth, etc. I loved having access to the venue for 24 hrs; we were able to drop everything off in the morning and then Alisa and her team worked all day to set up while we relaxed and enjoyed hair/makeup/pictures before the ceremony. The day after the wedding, everything was boxed up neatly and ready for us to take home. Industry and their staff truly went above and beyond from the moment we booked through the entire event. Our friends and family loved the venue and pictures there turned out beautiful. During the event, there was plenty of space for people to spread out between the dance floor, bar area, and outdoor patio. 10/10 recommend Industry for anyone looking for a wedding venue, and Alisa if looking for a wedding coordinator!

I fell in love with this venue the moment I stepped inside. We first worked with Andrea for tours, pre-contract questions, and booking with Industry. She was very flexible, understanding, and always answered our questions. After looking at several other venues, we booked our wedding ceremony and reception with Industry. We loved the freedom they gave us with choosing our own vendors for food, flowers, hair, makeup, and photographer. The venue was the most affordable with a 200 guest count. They were very laid back and accommodating with all of our needs. We chose the partial planning package which came with the help of a Wedding Coordinator. We worked with Alisa Apple through Industry. For over a year, Alisa and I met about once a month virtually and in person. I felt as if Alisa was personally invested in my wedding day. She was kind, caring, passionate, professional, authentic, organized, and very flexible. She took care of any question or concern I had in less than 24 hours. Sometimes even late at night. Alisa also came to my rehearsal dinner that was offsite the day before my wedding.
The day of my wedding was a stress free and enjoyable day thanks to everyone at Industry. They set up all my decor and coordinated with all my vendors. I did not have to worry about ANYTHING. The venue was absolutely breathtaking. The natural beauty and light of the venue made for beautiful pictures. I cannot thank the staff enough for making my wedding day so easy and beautiful.

AMAZING. BEAUTIFUL. A DREAM COME TRUE.
I truly cannot say enough about the Industry. I had a very specific vision for our wedding and they were the last venue we toured—I was starting to feel down and a bit hopeless—and fell in love at first sight. Not only was the venue the perfect backdrop to our moody/boho chic October wedding... but at every step of the way the staff made the process easy, exciting, and fun. Cannot recommend them and this venue enough!

We couldn't recommend this venue enough! Not only was the venue itself just beautiful with the exposed brick and hanging lights, but everyone we worked with was so incredibly helpful! We opted to pay for the month of coordinator and it was easily the best money we spent on our wedding. Alisa was a pleasure to work with and did an amazing job of coordinating the entire event. It was such a big relief to know that she was in touch with our vendors and making sure everything ran smoothly. The build your own beverage package was a really unique and interesting feature that we highly recommend.

Picking Industry as our venue was one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding. The entire Industry staff is kind, responsive, flexible, and goes above and beyond. Our day of coordinator was Alisa, and we cannot say enough good things about her. She seamless facilitated our day and kept everything running smoothly. As for the space itself... it's beautiful! We loved the industrial look with the lights, and we were able to have the garage doors open for a lot of our evening which made it so nice for guests to spread out. We also loved that we got to pick all of our own vendors. We were able to save so much money by going with our own vendors than we would have if we picked a venue where you had to go with their pre-set things. Overall, we loved Industry. If you're on the fence about booking... just do it! You won't regret it.

We absolutely loved having our ceremony and reception at Industry! Two of our high priorities when searching for a venue was outside catering availability and guest size. They were able to work with my husband’s family providing food for the event and allow a guest size up to 300 people! I also absolutely loved the aesthetic of the place! Such great natural lighting, decor, and beautiful brick backdrops. I hired month of coordination and Alisa was wonderful! She was the point person for the day of the wedding and took care of every small detail. Our day ran so smoothly and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better day! Thanks so much to everyone at Industry for helping pull off our dream wedding!

We absolutely loved hosting our wedding at Industry! We toured Industry over 2 years ago and from the moment we stepped inside we knew it was the venue for us. Our wedding planning was a bit of a roller coaster due to Covid but Industry and our planning coordinator Alisa made the process completely stress-free. 2 years later we finally had our big day and it was absolutely perfect. Alisa helped us with all of the logistics and put my mind at ease so that we could enjoy our celebration! It was absolutely beautiful and we received so many compliments on the venue. Some of my favorite aspects of the venue were: having the venue for a full 24 hours, the coordination package, the bridal suite (stunning!), the industrial vibe, free parking, and being able to choose our own caterer if we wanted. I would definitely recommend Industry!

Can't say enough good things about this venue. I came prepared to put things together all day in between hair and makeup and Alisa and her team took care of EVERYTHING - laying out table cards, favors, putting the ceremony space together, etc. Our day went SO smoothly from getting ready to ceremony to reception to clean up. The venue was unique and beautiful and truly impressed all of our guests. As we booked way in advance and during the pandemic, there was some staff turnover between coordinators but everything was seamlessly transferred and communication between everyone was great. We also had the most stellar speciality cocktail (blood orange dark and stormy) and truly just had the most amazing, unforgettable night. We can't thank Alisa and the Industry team enough.

Let me just start of by saying WOW, just WOW! This place is so beautiful with from the red brick walls to the black I-beams, and wood beams in the ceiling. The tesla accent lights and the layout just brings it all together! I would call it rustic industrial! It's a nice little building located in the southwest quadrant of Indianapolis right off a main road. Plenty of parking and seating. I would say 5 out of 5 stars I would DEFINITELY do it over again here. And I also opted for the Day-of coordinator and Alisa and her assistant went above and beyond for my husband and I. And I will be forever grateful for them.

We were married on October 8, 2021 and we are so incredibly happy that we chose INDUSTRY as our venue. From the beginning, we felt like venue personnel communicated with us regularly and effectively and were clear on what to expect. Alisa Apple was our wedding planner and she was incredible. In fact, we were so well cared for that we essentially just showed up and enjoyed our day. She even returned some equipment for us the week following the wedding! She was kind and genuine and attended to every detail. The beverage staff was kind and efficient and helped us have an epic party that reflected who we are. Aside from all of the wonderful people, INDUSTRY is a gorgeous location with room for both a ceremony and reception. The windows provide amazing lighting (our photographer loved that!) and the exposed brick walls are beautiful. Our guests loved seeing the garage door raise to reveal an ice cream truck. INDUSTRY helped us incorporate all of the fun touches we wanted to have as part of our special day. We cannot thank them enough!

I had my wedding at Industry on 6/5/2021. Everything went smoothly and the venue was beautiful. We did both the ceremony and reception at Industry and having it all in one place while still having separate spaces for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception made for a great experience for our guests and us. We had great weather and were able to open the doors, which was an added bonus. I used the planning services as well and working with Andrea was so easy and seamless. She made our day perfect!

The venue was absolutely beautiful! Loved the industrial feel with exposed brick and open layout. The staff were all friendly and happy to help guests with any needs. Bathrooms were super clean and well stocked throughout the night. We loved attending our friends wedding at the Industry!

We got married at INDUSTRY on 7/17/21. INDUSTRY was incredibly easy to work with. I cannot recommend their planning services enough. Lauren and her team did all of the set-up and tear down. We swung back to the venue the next morning, and they had organized all of our left-over stuff by a door for us to pick up. The venue itself is beautiful, so we were able to save money on decor. Their recommended vendors (Epic Vendors) are great to work with, especially because they have such a great relationship with the venue staff. Having everything in one place was SO convenient. Getting ready, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception-- all at the venue. Absolutely would recommend INDUSTRY to anyone!

Seriously stay away. This venue made my wedding day a complete wreck. The bar manager searched through all of the bridal party bags and took things. Stole our wedding favors & god knows what else. Had tons of guests come up to me saying how rude the bartenders are. They were truly so rude. They also had us pay $150 for trash can rentals which are cardboard boxes with trash bags in them. Seriously for the price of this venue they need to do better. Stay away.

We got married at the INDUSTRY in May 2021 and it was absolutely perfect! The venue itself was so beautiful and the weather was so nice that we were able to open the garage doors and allow some fresh air in. Our guest were raving about how nice the venue was and how beautiful it looked. Andrea was our coordinator and she made things so easy. I didn't have to worry about how things were going to go the day of as she had it all under control! I HIGHLY recommend this venue

We just had our wedding at INDUSTRY on October 15th and the whole night was perfect! The venue itself with the exposed brick and market lights set the mood and made the need for decorating very minimal. This location was perfect since we could have our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all in one place and still be in separate areas of the building. The flexibility in picking our own vendors as well as them providing a list of "epic vendors" was unique to every other venue we looked into. We would highly recommend this venue for your wedding.

We loved everything about working with Abby at Industry and the others on staff as well. Every detail was covered, they made the process so easy and fun. The building is amazing, we received so many compliments! Abby set all of our decorations out and everything looked awesome. I've recommended Industry to so many people. They have events there all the time, so we continue to visit and say hello to the wonderful staff there!

We received nothing but praise from our wedding guests about INDUSTRY! The venue was stunning and very clean. The INDUSTRY team was spectacular to deal with, very flexible, and easy to reach. Our wedding day was seamless largely due to the work of the INDUSTRY team. We would highly recommend INDUSTRY to anyone looking for a wedding or event venue.

INDUSTRY was one of the best decisions we could have made when choosing a wedding venue. The flexibility to use your own vendors saved us thousands of dollars which we will be forever thankful for that! On top of that, the space is absolutely gorgeous. We are suckers for exposed brick and industrial sized windows. As soon as we saw the space, we knew our winter Christmas wedding would look perfect in the space. The space is big enough to host 135 guests for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception as well as keeping the bride and groom from seeing each other before the ceremony. The bridal suite was beautiful for getting ready and taking all pre ceremony photos. If we did it over again, we would choose INDUSTRY every time!

We had such a wonderful experience using INDUSTRY as our wedding venue and coordination! I was immediately drawn to the building's large windows and exposed brick. It's truly a beautiful venue. What really sold me is that we were able to to hold the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception all in the same building while each having their own separate spaces. Not to mention the "getting ready rooms" we used for hair and makeup. INDUSTRY was able to comfortably hold our 200 guests while still accommodating the 4-piece band and a large dance floor. The space looked beautiful, and I mean BEAUTIFUL, during our mid-December evening wedding.
The coordination service deserves its own paragraph. Wedding coordination was not something I had put much thought into before I began planning my own. I guess I'd always assumed that my wedding would be fairly simple and wouldn't require a ton of work the day-of. This is actually laughable now. Because of Andrea, our INDUSTRY coordinator, I was able to show up to the venue at 9am and remain totally and completely relaxed the entire day. My mom even got to do the same! Andrea completely handled the decor setup, vendor coordination (band, florist, catering, rentals), room flips, tear down and so much more. We had several meetings leading up to the wedding day where we planned the timeline, floor plan and answered all of my many questions along the way. I truly cannot recommend INDUSTRY's coordination enough.

Such a beautiful venue! I got married her on 12/1/2019. I loved that we had freedom and flexibility to plan and design our whole day for such an affordable price and you get the venue for 24 hours. We got married on a Sunday and there happened to be a colts game. They were great with navigating parking for us! 1000% recommend this place as a venue.

This venue is totally awesome! We just had a wedding here on 10/19/19. The staff was very flexible and patient with us during the whole process. Our coordinator was Abby and she definitely killed it! We waited and couldn’t decide if we wanted to pay for the coordinator until about 2 months out from our wedding. Let me say, it was so worth it! She relieved a tremendous amount of stress off of us and was able to hammer things out in a short period of time. I would recommend this venue and coordination to anyone!

Industry is a really cool venue. It's on trend and allows the freedom and flexibility to put together a beautiful ceremony and reception, courtesy of Hannah at Design the Day. The pricing is fair, the staff is easy to work with, and the bar options are terrific. Andrea was great to work with and Kristina Swearingen and I are really happy we chose to go the route with Industry.

INDUSTRY was everything we wanted in our venue and more. The venue itself is gorgeous and has plenty of natural light coming in for great pictures. The INDUSTRY team, specifically Abby, was great to work with. Always patient, willing to help and answer questions. Would recommend to any couple looking for a venue!

We loved INDUSTRY from the start. Their open rooms, rustic farm tables and huge windows were exactly what we wanted for our wedding. We worked with Abby, who was super helpful and gave great advice - not to mention completely saved the day when our cake delivery didn't arrive as planned. This venue is gorgeous, with friendly staff, and is the best way to make your day your own. Our day was unique and beautiful and I'm so glad we chose INDUSTRY as our venue for our wedding.

One of the fondest memories we have on our wedding day pertains to INDUSTRY. The venue was, for lack of a better term, perfect. From the beginning with booking with them to the actual day itself, INDUSTRY exceeded all of our wildest expectations. The different layouts and amenities offered by it, is unique in an Indianapolis landscape populated with venues. We loved the ability to choose OUR vendors. No preferred, no mandatory, nothing. We actually picked our own. The coordination was phenomenal (shout out to Miranda). Because of this, our big day of was stress free and relaxed. Our guests raved about the venue and the layout / fluidity of it all. In fact, we've been told from a few friends that they have family looking at the venue now because visiting in our wedding. Overall, it was the perfect venue for the perfect day. We couldn't be happier. We'll always look back on INDUSTRY with smiles and the best of memories. Professional, industry, beautiful, and wonderful to work with, my wife and I would recommend INDUSTRY to anyone.

I first reached out to Sean when I was living in Denver last December, 2017. He was more than helpful with any and all questions I had. We were just beginning to look at venues and INDUSTRY was one we saw online and thought it looked unique and fun. We visited for the first time December 30, 2017 (the same day we got engaged!) and I remember going home and telling Rex, my now husband, that we had to make this venue work. We loved that we were able to bring in our own caterer/vendors.
Another major perk for us was Walk Through Wednesdays. I think we attended 95% of these throughout the year we were engaged, ha! For many reasons. We loved just being able to see our venue and envision how we'd decorate, but also we loved seeing the staff. Abby was absolutely wonderful and went out of her way to make sure we were taken care of. Not to mention she is the sweetest to work with!
I recommend INDUSTRY to anyone looking for the most E P I C venue/staff/location. I tease my husband that we will visit during more Walk Through Wednesdays because I miss it so much!

Our experience with INDUSTRY was wonderful. We were actually one of the first 10 couples to book the venue, and did so before construction was even complete. In fact, I only saw the space via FaceTime while my parents did a walk-through because we live out of state.
I instantly fell in love with the industrial feel, and really liked the entire concept of making the space your own by bringing in your own vendors. I was having a hard time finding spaces in the Indy area that allowed for this flexibility, so this was a huge plus for us. It really is a blank canvas, and we took advantage of that. But I've also seen it look just as beautiful with really minimal decor.
We booked our wedding over a year out, and considering the space was not yet complete, I knew that we would encounter a few changes along the way. One of the biggest changes was that INDUSTRY became the required beverage vendor - after we had already booked our bar service through our caterer. I was a little nervous, but the team immediately put me at ease. They took care of the logistics, matched the price of our current contract and worked with the caterer to amend our previous beverage contract. They exceeded our expectations, and our open bar was a huge hit. The bar staff was AWESOME, too.
Because I was planning our wedding from Boston, I purchased the coordination services, and I never once regretted doing so. My coordinator Abby was amazing from the day we met up until hours past last call on the night of our wedding. She was responsive, helpful, organized, thorough and just everything you would want from a wedding coordinator. She worked on so many logistics that I will never even know about, and I didn't have ONE stressful moment on our wedding day. Seriously, not one. That would not have been the case without Abby.
All in all, our wedding was truly the best day of our lives. There is a long list of vendors who made that a reality, and INDUSTRY is undoubtedly one of them.

The actual venue itself is amazing, but that’s what you get, literally just the walls, tables, and chairs. They do not provide trash cans, moving of tables or chairs, a day of coordinator for vendors, cocktail tables, sound system, help setting up or tearing down. We had our groomsmen move the tables and chairs into the floor plan we wanted the morning of. They also had to decorate and tear down after the wedding. Our groomsmen were yelled at for not moving their tables correctly. They have one person on staff there for your day, but it is just to make sure the venue does not burn down. I did not see them at all our whole day. They only came out of their hole to make sure the groomsmen were not damaging their property.
They tote it as a “bring your own vendor” venue. However, after I had booked my bar vendor and INDUSTRY obtained a liquor license, they announced that we had to go with their bar package and cancel the contract with our original bar vendor. We were given the contact information to the bar manager and was to contact her with any questions/concerns we might have. Well, as our wedding day grew closer, my many emails to the bar contact went unanswered. Come to find out much later (right before our wedding) after I have finally emailed one of the director of venue operations, that the bar manager was no longer working for INDUSTRY and a new one was hired. INDUSTRY did not inform me of this change, nor did they apologize for not communicating with me. Additionally, I had to ask repeatedly for updated final beverage quote once final number of guests was given - this was finally given to me 1 business day prior to final payment meaning that my check would be late. If you pay online, they charge you an additional service fee. I had given updates to beverage service for their “notes” and had to ask multiple times for this to be updated to reflect correct information.
There was a wedding or other event the day before my wedding and therefore, we were unable to do a rehearsal at INDUSTRY unless we wanted to do it before 10 am.
We chose to do the Mylar tape. Again, I had to follow up with INDUSTRY multiple times regarding the correct design. The invoice was sent to me and payment due before a design was even approved. They were very poor at returning emails and getting the design correct.
Pros: they let you “create your own space”, let you bring in your own caterer and DJ
Cons: pretty pricey ($6,500) for literally only getting the space, tables, and chairs, management is very poor at customer service and communication, need to bring in a lot of other items that you will likely need (trash cans, cocktail tables, decorations)
*This venue is only for someone who is extremely well organized, a good planner, and can afford the much needed help of a day of coordinator
Response from INDUSTRY on 12/31/2018
Hi Kristyn,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are disappointed to hear ...
that your experience with INDUSTRY was less than ideal, and want to sincerely apologize. We completely understand your point of view on the beverage service, and the frustration of this change. Due to Indiana liquor laws, we chose to obtain a liquor license to ensure the legality of alcohol served at our events. We did have to work through some kinks, as well as hire on a new department to handle this process. This department is now fully staffed, locally at INDUSTRY. We realize that this was not the case for your event, and apologize for the lack of communication you received. We truly wish we had been able to make this right for your event. We do provide trash bins at the bars, and caterers typically provide them for any other needs. If the caterer does not provide them, it does become the responsibility of the client, however, we do house additional bins in case they are forgotten. Regarding additional services and rentals, you are correct in that cocktail tables, coordination, setup and tear down are not included in the venue rental. These services are available for additional charges. The reasoning behind this is that each event is different, and we choose to not make our clients pay for services that they may not need or want. This also allows for creativity and flexibility to thrive within our venues, as clients can truly create the event of their dreams, using the vendors they choose. Rehearsal guidelines are listed out in our contract to ensure the privacy of each client's event. Again, we understand your frustrations, and are sorry that this was your experience with us. If you would like to discuss this situation further, please email us at party@industry.828venues.com. We wish you all the best.
