We got married in August 2010 and selected Scottish Rite for both the ceremony and the reception. I had attended a meeting at Scottish Rite years before and fell in love with the building! I had joked with friends then (when I was, in fact, si...ngle and had no prospects for marriage on the horizon) that when and if I got married it would be at Scottish Rite.
So when the time to decide on a venue came, I naturally looked at Scottish Rite first. I looked at a lot of other places but nothing else compared!! Scottish Rite is (in my opinion) the most elegant building in Indianapolis. We had our ceremony in the Theater and our reception in the Grand Ball Room. Our guests would later tell us that it was the most beautiful ceremony and reception they had ever attended!
The Event Coordinator, Ashley was amazing! She was easy to work with and made our day seamless. She answered all of our questions and made sure our day was how we wanted it. We made some last minute changes that went off without a hitch thanks to her patience and understanding....
Also, the CATERER is outstanding. That was easily the best wedding dinner I have ever had -- our guests agreed!
Certainly there are places that are less expensive than Scottish Rite. However, if you want to have perfect wedding -- right out of a magazine, I recommend that you spend the extra money.....
If I could go back and do it all over, there is nothing I would change about the site, the food, the atmosphere....It was wonderful!!
