When we were looking for our wedding venue, we wanted a place that showcased downtown Indianapolis and had a day-of coordinator – we didn’t know when we booked how lucky we were to... work with JPS Events for our big day.
JPS Events was not only our ceremony site and reception venue, they were also our decorator, caterer, florist, and all-around problem solvers for the months (year+ for us) leading up to the wedding, as well as for the big day. Jess, Patti, and Cassidy were absolute pleasures to work with and made our dreams (and then some) come true. Our family and friends can’t stop raving about how incredible of a night it ended up being.
TERRACE – The indoor space is lovely with all of the windows and great views of the city, but the terrace is where it’s at! Thank goodness we ended up getting a lovely evening for the ceremony outside and it cooled off nicely for us to use the terrace as our dance floor, as well. For those that didn’t want to dance, there were cabanas with couches so people could still be a part of the action. We were also able to do a sparkler dance, which JPS Events helped us coordinate.
DECORATIONS – We had a 3.5 hour meeting with Patti and Cassidy about 6 months before the wedding where we went through a Pinterest board that we had created (to give them an idea of our style), picked out all of our linens (all colors that they had in-stock were INCLUDED), set up our centerpieces, talked through our floral, discussed the setup, etc. If you can dream it, they can probably make it happen!
GETTING READY SUITES – There was a bridal suite (complete with a bathroom) and a groom’s suite on-site so we could be at the venue as set-up was taking place. Mama Leaner was there all day to set up the tables and help us with whatever we needed and if something didn’t look quite right, we could tell her right then.
FOOD – we had three tastings in the months leading up to the wedding where we tried appetizers, salads, entrees, sides, and wine. We were pleased with the options and, of all things, everyone RAVED about our salad option (bibb lettuce and arugula, candied pecans, peaches, strawberries, goat cheese, and champagne-tarragon dressing). While most of the wedding was on the terrace, we were able to eat inside to keep cool.
Patti, Cassidy, and the whole crew - THANK YOU for making our wedding day so incredibly perfect!
