We had an amazing experience with the Palomino for our wedding in October! They were so flexible. One of the reasons we went with them was because we wanted a venue with flexible catering so we wouldn't be limited to an in-house caterer. Thats hard to find in larger venues! We were originally anticipating about 300 guests but wound up with a good bit less. They were so helpful the whole time. The place was beautiful and easy to decorate. So many photogenic spots including an amazing bar area, cute brides room, stunning outdoor patio, and a great main window where we had our sweetheart table set up. It was also nice that the basics were included in the price, like tables/chairs, sweetheart table, etc. So we didn't have to worry about a million a-la-cart pieces adding up in price. We had a great time and our guests loved the location!
The Palomino truly exceeded our expectations. We were supposed to get married June 20, 2020 but chose to postpone to keep ourselves and our families safe during the pandemic. The process of changing the date was smooth and effortless. We were able to choose a different date, transfer all our original payments, and keep our vendors. We were kept in the loop for any and all government mandated restrictions leading up to our new date. We decided to wait almost a year to have our wedding and we are so glad we did. Most of the restrictions were lifted and we were able to have a “normal” wedding during a not so normal time.
Jaelah truly went above and beyond to make sure the day was perfect. I was so glad she was able to be there on the actual wedding day to make us feel comfortable and make sure the day went as planned. The food was wonderful and we received many compliments on how beautiful the venue was. Jaelah always answered any question I had and responded promptly.
I truly could go on and on about how great the Palomino was. You can’t beat the price and everything was absolutely perfect.
Jaelah did a wonderful job coordinating our wedding! She helped us through every step of the process and worked with our budget. We heard great things from our other vendors about how easy it was to work with them. Our wedding was in October, and we weren't sure if we wanted to use the outside space due to weather. We were able to add on the space the week before the wedding, no problems! We also received many compliments on the food-our guests claimed it was the best wedding food they've ever had! I highly recommend The Palomino for anyone planning a wedding or other special event!
We absolutely LOVED our reception at the Palomino! Deanna was our coordinator, and was very organized and responsive to our needs. The venue was beautiful with the unique candlelit windows and the gorgeous grounds with open fields and horses! All the guests loved the patio for getting fresh air and playing corn hole! We wouldn't do anything differently- it was perfect for what we needed!
We really enjoyed working with the Palomino. Deanna & Jaelah were awesome! They made you feel calm and relaxed and comfortable about all of the details of your reception! They wrote out a very detailed day-of timeline that helped reassure me of what exactly was going to be happening. We met both in person and over the phone. The bride and groom get to attend a tasting event for free so you can try out multiple different foods that they cater. There are so many options for decorating, table decor, lighting, colors, and more - you can make the venue look like however you want! We received multiple compliments about the reception venue. We loved the bar area as well as the outdoor patio - it was so nice for guests to be able to go outside for some fresh air! Overall, we were just so thankful for how flexible the Palomino was and how adaptable they were to our requests! Would definitely recommend them!
The Palomino was everything I wanted and more. Deanna was our wedding coordinator through the venue and she was amazing. She helped make the day a zero stress day beyond the day of jitters! They make sure the day is everything you want and more. Food was delicious, decor was great, and everything ran so smoothly. I don't have one bad thing to say. They offer a variety of packages and are very affordable. I recommend them with 100% confidence.
We loved the Palomino. They treated us well, listened to what we wanted, and gave us a wonderful wedding reception. I still dream about the food and the cake. My groom and I were really able to enjoy our reception. The Palomino was wonderful! I highly recommend it!
We had searched far and wide for venues in the Indianapolis area before finding and falling in love with the Palomino Ballroom and I am so glad we did! The venue is beautiful, food is delicious, and the staff is wonderful. We worked specifically with Jenny who helped our vision for the day become a reality. Throughout the planning process Jenny was super helpful. I plan events in my career, so I had a lot of questions and Jenny was always patient and willing to answer and offer advice. On the day of the wedding, she and the staff made sure the decor was perfect and missed no details in the set up or execution of the day. In addition to our reception, we had our ceremony at the Palomino and Jenny was so helpful in the timing of everything and making sure all transitions were seamless. We have heard nothing but compliments about how wonderful our food was and how beautiful the venue looked. Jenny and the rest of the staff at the Palomino made our wedding day stress free and for that we cannot thank them enough. You will not regret holding any part of your wedding day in the Palomino Ballroom!
Jasmine was incredible. She helped us with every detail and every step of the way from the day we started thinking about the Palomino. We highly recommend this venue.
I cannot say enough about how great Palomino is! All of the people that say planning a wedding is hard did not go to Palomino! The process was so easy and made the day stress free. Jenny was amazing! When the day finally came everything was perfect. Jenny was there the entire time making sure of that and there to hand me drinks through the night! And the food was amazing, we are still getting compliments. If you're in the area Palomino is the way to go!
We had our wedding and reception at Palomino Ballroom. They catered all of the food and we had cheesecake and apple pie from their in house caterer for dessert. WE LOVED HAVING OUR WEDDING HERE!
Jasmine is an incredible coordinator. I didn't worry about a thing the entire weekend and we didn't even have to pay for a wedding planner. :)
Beautiful and convenient venue!
Jasmine here did the best job helping us get everything we wanted mostly within budget. Even when it rained, the backup plan inside was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! Perfect place for a wedding of about 235
The Palomino staff were wonderful to work with! They know how to do weddings and came up with ways to reduce cost, but still have the experience we wanted.
Their recommended DJ - Copper Moon Entertainment was great!
The food was INCREDIBLE! Our guests still talk about it, especially the ravioli.
They used our flowers and decorated the altar so beautifully.
The ballroom at night, with all the lights and candles was fairytale gorgeous.
They went above and beyond every expectation we had.
We really enjoyed having our reception at the Palomino Ballroom. We worked with Jasmine and had a great experience. They had great communication with us and were very flexible in working with us. My husband lived out of state at the time and I lived about an hour away so Jasmine worked with us to schedule meetings that worked for one or both of us. They have lots of options for food and decor and we were able to bring our own decor as well. So many details went into planning our time there so I was nervous that something might go wrong. Once we got there with the wedding party, we were so pleased to see how perfect everything was and how much fun our guests were having. Everything was flawless. It's a beautiful location and they provide great service.
Working with Jenny at the Palomino made all of the planning for our wedding reception a breeze! Her and her staff were so friendly and eager to help, and they answered any and all questions we asked...and some we didn't think to ask but needed to know! They were so professional and knew all of the ins and outs of planning a great wedding reception. I was completely stress free going into our reception because I knew that they had everything covered and that it would be amazing. I was more than right! It is now three months after our wedding and I still get so many comments from our wedding guests about how nice everything was and what a great venue we had for our reception. They are still ranting and raving about how good the food was, and how nice all of the serving staff were! We could not have asked for more from the team at the Palomino, they exceeded our expectations in every way. You will not regret choosing this venue as the site for your wedding reception!
Palomino Ballroom was a PERFECT place for our wedding! I can't say enough good things, Jasmine was a wonderful coordinator, the food was AMAZING, and their attention to detail was impeccable. You can't beat the service, quality, and price!! Thanks so much, PB, Jasmine, and staff for helping to make our day perfect :)
My Daughter was married this summer and her reception was held at the Palomino Ballroom. As the Mother of the Bride I cannot express enough the gratitude I feel towards Debbie and her whole staff! They were so easy to work with and extremely professional. Her professional guidance was so appreciated. They were so detailed, organized and gave me the peace I needed for such a special day! I was complimented all evening on the handling of the meals for the children, the DELICIOUS food and the very friendly wait staff!! It was a magical evening and we owe a very special "Thanks" to the beautiful Palomino Ballroom and the entire staff!!
The Palomino Ballroom was a beautiful venue for our wedding reception. I wanted an indoor location that was classy and romantic and I found that at the Palomino. Along with its beauty, it has a wonderful staff that helps make your day all that you want it to be with none of the stress falling on you. My reception was all that I wanted it to be, because my planner at the Palomino saw my vision and brought it to life. I am so thankful for the Palomino and all their help in making my wedding reception all that I wanted it to be.
We stumbled upon the Palomino Ballroom when searching for venues and could not have been more pleased with the quality of service. It's family owned, so they truly care about what YOU want. Our guests raved about the food, decor and professionalism of the staff. Our coordinator was so excited about our "Alice in Wonderland" theme that she, along with our other vendors, raved to surrounding vendors that they got to be involved and were so excited when the day finally came for us.
I recently got married August 10th and used the Palomino Ballroom as my venue. We had Jenny as our coordinator and she was GREAT! The staff was very helpful and made sure my husband and I were taken care of as well as our guests. So far, we have gotten a ton of compliments from our guests with how beautiful the venue was and how much fun they had! The coordinators are typically very busy with other weddings so there was a little bit of a communication at a small point and I live out of state, but Jenny worked extremely well with my husband and I! The decorations were absolutely beautiful and exactly what we wanted! The staff made it possible for my husband and I to have a stress-free evening, which was awesome!
> The Palomino Ballroom and staff made our special day was made even more special. A huge thank you so much to all of them for helping us plan and celebrate our big day. We couldn't have done it without you.

> Dinner was delicious, and our guests are still raving about the appetizers. We have received so many compliments about how beautiful the room was and how impressed our guests were with the ambiance. An amazing experience.
We were able to have rehearsal the evening prior to the wedding and held our rehearsal dinner at the Palomino also. With my fiance being Italian, we naturally chose the Italian Themed Buffet. The food was delicious, a good variety, our guests had a wonderful time and remarked how wonderful the food tasted.

> We knew by choosing The Palomino Ballroom for our wedding we were making the right decision to ensure exceptional service and attention to detail. Everything was perfect and beyond our expectations. Thank you to Debbie Head for making it so memorable.
We had our wedding reception at the Palomino in September and we couldn't have asked for a better! Jenny and the crew did an amazing job and didn't miss one detail :) we had so many compliments on the food, venue, ect. We would recommend the palomino to anyone!
I'd rather not give any stars on this venue. Jenny Burger is an absolute nightmare to work with. She started out decent when we were discussing price and she was up-selling us on tiny details such as adding more votive candles to the tables. As the months progressed, however, she got even more condescending and rude. About 2 months before the big day, I emailed her with a list of questions since I had not heard from her. She responded 2 weeks later, stating that I had emailed the "incorrect mailbox," even though I had not been given an email address in the first place and had to search for one. Our second to last meeting was a nightmare. We had not received many of our RSVP's and she said that we did not meet the "person minimum" that was required per our contract, so we had to do everything ala carte instead of the package chosen. My fiancee and I didn't think that sounded right, so we questioned it, and she said, "Oh I guess there's this other package we could do." As we got closer, we inquired about the rehearsal, since I had assumed it was standard to rehearse the night before the wedding. She said that at Palomino Ballroom we could either pay $250 in coordinator fees per hour of rehearsal or we could deduct an hour off of our wedding day in order to rehearse for 10 minutes. I asked if she could work with us on this matter, she said absolutely not. On the wedding day itself, she was the most rude and condescending person I've ever met in my life, and I am anything but a "bride-zilla." As nerves started creeping in, I asked her if I could have a glass of wine (since we paid enough to have a completely open bar at the wedding). She stated, in front of me and my bridesmaids, "no, you cannot have a glass of wine, remember we talked about this earlier in the planning." We had not discussed this matter and not only was it not a big deal, but she made a scene in front of the entire bridal party just to be as rude as possible. Also, my officiant asked her if he could have a podium to deliver, and she said, "usually we have one but not tonight." As the night progressed, the bar area got shut down as guests were being seated, and my cousin walked through the bar looking for something, even though she was told she was not allowed. As they shooed her out she saw the bartenders and other various workers eating the hors d'oeuvres that we had paid for. As we sat for dinner, our chicken came cold and the portion size was absolutely unacceptable for what we paid for it. Our late night station that we purchased extra was chips and cheese, and the cheese dispenser was broken. The best part of the night was the fact that she made herself not visible for a majority of the night, until she kicked us out at the end of the evening not saying thank you or goodbye. Your wedding coordinator should be the easiest part of your wedding, not the hardest. Spare your sanity and look elsewhere.
Palomino was absolutely wonderful!! Initially I was a little nervous about overall cost but the day of my wedding was perfectly organized, the service was impecable and I would reccommend Palomino 100%
Our reception was seamless. Jenny and her team were wonderful. The food was amazing! Everyone was able to relax and have a great time.
