We’re not even sure how to start this review for the cardinal room & Aubrey along with her staff because it exceeded every expectation that we had going into our big day.
For starters, we booked the venue over a year in advance. Leading up to the day Aubrey would occasionally email me to see how wedding planning was going & if I had any questions. She promptly answered each question and made sure to also provide the same amount of amazing communication to my vendors before the event.
The bridal suites were a huge pro on our list when looking at various venues. The groomsmen can’t stop talking about how much fun they had with their own little driving range area. & my makeup artist and hair ladies were loving how much natural light filled our space to get ready. I have some amazing detail photos & group photos because of the bridal suite.
The team helped set up & tear down our ceremony & reception areas, making everything a breeze for our parents and families that agreed to help with those areas.
Overall, we’re literally so thankful to have found the Cardinal Room. So if you want the best wedding day, I can’t suggest the Cardinal Room enough. You won’t be disappointed!!

Our wedding at The Cardinal Room was amazing! Right away, Joe was incredibly helpful and easy to communicate with for my initial inquiry and subsequent questions. We also met with Karin for our first tour, she was so informative and gave us additional recommendations for vendors that worked out so well. Aubrey was the event coordinator and she made everything seem so easy and smooth. Her helpers the day of took all the worry off of us so we could just enjoy the day! I can't put into words how incredible this team was. They listened to us, they worked with all of our special requests and dietary needs, they always made us feel special and not once did I feel like a burden (which is an experience we had with some vendors we did not go with). All in all, we have had so many compliments on our wedding day and it wouldn't have been possible without the fantastic staff at The Cardinal Room! Not only that, but this venue was so beautiful with the natural light and golf course background. We have amazing pictures too!! Highly recommend.

Everyone went above and beyond to make my niece's special day perfect. Amazing that they provide a wedding coordinator....Aubrey is the best. Really makes everything worry-free for the bride. She was detail oriented and took no time at all to see the bride's vision. The bridal suite provided on-site makes for less stress and so much fun for the bridal party and family to spend memorable time together. If you are looking for a location for ceremony and reception, I would highly recommend The Cardinal Room. Amenities are top notch.

This venue made our day so completely magical! The bridal suite, the groom's area, Aubrey for a day of coordinator, and so much more were wonderful. Joe and Aubrey were so helpful in planning and always had great communication anytime we had questions. We got compliments all night from our guests about what a beautiful venue it was. My husband and I highly recommend them!

My husband and I got married at The Cardinal Room in June of 2021, and it was absolutely perfect! We couldn’t have asked for anything more from a venue. We had our ceremony outside on the covered deck, and it was exactly what we were looking for! It allowed for an outdoor ceremony while providing shade for every guest and wedding party member. We used the wrap around porch with the gorgeous tree for our cocktail hour and many guests spent time out there after dinner. The reception space has lots of great, natural light and can be decorated to fit any style, which is hard to find in the area!
The bridal suite was recently renovated and was a perfect place for the girls to get ready. The guys were able to use the driving range on the wedding day which made for a nice place to relax before the ceremony. There is also plenty of parking on site which was perfect for our out of town guests who didn’t know the area well.
Joe and Aubrey were incredible to work with and made sure that our every need was met during the wedding planning and the wedding day. They both gave great suggestions and vendor recommendations, and they were always open to our ideas. The rest of their staff was professional and very helpful to all of our guests on the wedding day. Joe and Aubrey alone make the venue worth it!
We would recommend The Cardinal Room to anyone and can’t imagine getting married anywhere else!

I couldn’t have asked for a better venue for my wedding. My husband and I got married on September 26th. As you can imagine, it was a stressful time due to planning a wedding during a pandemic. The staff at The Cardinal Room was there for every step of the way. We specifically worked with Joe and Aubrey, and they are both absolutely amazing. Aubrey made all of my Pinterest wedding inspo come to life on my big day! I HIGHLY recommend getting married at the cardinal room. It’s a beautiful venue and everyone there truly cares about your big day! Not to mention the guys get a golf bay during the day and the girls have a beautiful modern area to get ready in.

We were married here last year and the staff was amazing. All of our guests still talk about the wonderful time they had and so did the wedding party. The guys loved being able to golf at the driving range. The bridal suite was so cute and was a good little hideaway for us. For some reason I did not think about needing audio at the ceremony and the coordinators did a phenomenal job figuring out what we should do and getting with my DJ to make it all work out. I am extremely grateful to this venue for making our day so easy and painless.

My daughter got married here May 30th 2020, in the middle of the COVID craziness. Joe and Aubrey, the staff coordinators, there were absolutely outstanding to work with. They worked with us thru the ever changing allowable guest numbers, service guidelines and even helped us scramble to find a new caterer when our planned one seemingly shut down and disappeared.
The venue is BEAUTIFUL and allowed my daughter to plan an outdoor wedding without weather fears. We were able to have cocktails on the wrap around porch before going inside for the reception. Joe was especially helpful in providing a wide range of additional vendor ideas, but open to our thoughts and requests. This is a venue that would support as simple or as fancy of a wedding as you'd like and we thought, comparatively, they were very reasonable in price.

We had such an amazing experience with the Golf Club of Indiana! We were recently married (6/27/20), and were fortunate to be able to proceed with our wedding despite the pandemic. Given that our wedding date fell under Stage 4 of the 5 Stage plan to reopen the state, the Golf Club of Indiana did such an amazing job to ensure we were in accordance with the CDC guidelines with minimal disruption to our special day. They truly went above and beyond to help make our day perfect, and we couldn’t be more grateful!
The space is gorgeous and the staff are all super helpful, flexible, and on top of everything! We would highly recommend this venue for any event!
Overall, the venue exceeded our expectations for our wedding!

My wife and I got married here in September 2019. We are so happy we chose The Cardinal Room. The planning process was a breeze because the staff is so professional and efficient. There are no hidden fees in the contract which is rare to find nowadays. Joe was our Venue Manager and was a pleasure to work with. He goes above and beyond to make your day run smoothly. Jen was our Wedding Coordinator and we were so thankful to have her. She made sure all the little details got handled while my wife got to relax day of. The venue itself is like none other. The covered deck for our ceremony was perfect! We never had to stress about bad weather because the covered deck can become an enclosed room with clear sidings. So regardless of weather we would still get our outdoor wedding. The exposed deck is the perfect location for an outdoor cocktail hour. Your guest will have plenty of room to mingle, grab drinks and enjoy appetizers! We received so many compliments from our wedding guest on how beautiful and unique the venue was. I can not say enough good things about The Cardinal Room venue and their staff!

We were married at the Cardinal Room this fall. The venue was the perfect location! The indoor and outdoor options were beautiful and allowed us to host the ceremony and reception at the same location. The Cardinal Room is close to the airport, which was ideal for out of town guests. There was a large parking area, which is tough to find in the Indianapolis area! The venue offered a spacious and newly remodeled bridal suite, which was included in the venue cost. The groomsmen were able to use the driving range on wedding day!
Perhaps the most valuable part about the venue is the staff. Joe and Aubrey are incredibly hard workers. Throughout the entire planning process, they were very responsive and quick to help in any way they could. Wedding day was seamless – Joe and Aubrey made sure every detail was perfect!

We used the Cardinal Room for our wedding in September. Cannot say enough good things about the facility and their staff. Joe and Susie were outstanding and so professional and took care of EVERYTHING on our big day. There was literally no worrying on our end because they made sure things were handled. They blew off the ceremony space just an hour before the start, even helped filling up champagne glasses for the bridal party and were very much present during the reception. If we could get married again we would 1000% go back to the Cardinal Room.

We just got married here yesterday and the entire experience was so wonderful. Our day-of coordinator made sure things went smoothly, incredibly accommodating, and they even made sure my now-husband was able to play golf the morning of our wedding! It was the perfect day and I can't imagine getting married anywhere else. I recommend it to anyone looking for a outdoor feeling with plenty of space! We went with the covered porch instead of inside of outside and an indoor reception because anything can and will happen.

We had our wedding at The Cardinal Room in July and I could not be happier with how our special day turned out! The venue is beautiful for both the ceremony and reception. There is an option for a full outdoor wedding or on the covered deck where we had ours! The covered deck was perfect for a day with a chance of rain. It kept the guest dry and cool with ceiling fans and shaded from the sun. The reception hall indoors is the perfect size for a 150-200 person wedding. Bright sunlight is let in with the abundance of windows and shades that allow you to keep it out when dancing begins. The staff was wonderful to us all night! Joe was our first impression of the venue. He was so professional and open to all of our questions. He allowed us to call, text, or email at any time. Quick responses and willing to work with all of our requests. Joe made us feel important and personalized everything for our day! Aubrey was our day of coordinator, which was included with the venue! She was so sweet and accommodated all of our needs day of and leading up to the wedding. I felt comfortable leaving day of decisions up to her, knowing the day would still be perfect. My husband and I were in several weddings leading up to ours and this was by far the most smoothly run wedding , thanks to Aubrey and Joe!I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone! This is the most perfect place for your wedding!

We had our July wedding at The Cardinal Room and could not be happier with how our day turned out! The venue is GORGEOUS, we loved the covered deck for our ceremony and the spacious reception hall was perfect for hosting our 150 guests. The guys had a blast having access to the golf academy and indoor driving range the morning of the wedding, and the girls enjoyed the newly renovated bridal suite complete with mimosas and snacks! The staff was incredibly accommodating in listening to our wants and needs to bring our vision to life, which was a huge help as most venues have heavy restrictions on food, decorations, etc. We mainly worked with Joe and Aubrey, and we were super impressed by their attention to detail. They went above and beyond by checking in with us regularly leading up to the wedding, and even contacted the vendors the week before the wedding to make sure everyone was on the same page. Having Aubrey as our day-of event coordinator (which is included with the price of the venue) was an absolute life saver. She was so sweet, and it was a relief to be able to relax and enjoy the wedding day knowing that the small details were being taken care of. The day turned our absolutely perfect and we wouldn't change a thing!

We chose The Cardinal Room as the venue for our May wedding. We had about 100 total guests plus vendors, which was perfect. Bo, Joe, Jen, and Audrey all made us feel so special leading up to and on our wedding day. They were on top of every detail! We liked that there was a cool space for the groom and groomsmen to get ready in the morning (the golf academy, complete with indoor driving range bays)....it seems like this is often overlooked by other venues. The ladies got ready in the newly-renovated Bridal Suite, which is upstairs in the clubhouse and was perfect for our group of 6 to get hair and makeup professionally done. The Cardinal Room itself has a wrap-around deck, most of which is covered which meant we could have an outdoor ceremony regardless of the weather. Everything we asked of the venue staff, they agreed to. They even handled details we hadn’t even considered! The only thing we feel that they could improve was the clarity of their contract and pricing. We had a couple of rounds of questions before we fully understood all of the details, as compared to other venue’s quotes. Despite this relatively minor thing, we would HIGHLY recommend The Cardinal Room for any large event where you want to impress your guests and you need things to go flawlessly.

We absolutely loved this venue! We had our ceremony and reception here. It was such a nasty, rainy day, but we had the best time! The covered porch was perfect for the ceremony and we had a blast in the reception room! The people are amazing too. Everything went off without a problem!

The Cardinal Room was the perfect venue for our wedding! Bo and the staff were so helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process. We were able to customize so many aspects (linens, decor, outdoor furniture, food, etc.) with their network of vendors. Oh, and our favorite part - the big, beautiful outdoor deck! Our wedding reception was everything we wanted and more... and our guests were wowed! I would highly recommend The Cardinal Room!

The Cardinal Room was the perfect venue for our wedding ceremony and reception on 10/21/17. Bo, Susie and Staff felt like family. They made the planning process smooth and brought great ideas to us that only true professionals could think of. We loved having the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception at one location, but in three distinct areas. The flexibility of the covered deck for the ceremony was stress free and beautiful. I cannot thank The Cardinal Room enough for everything they did to make the whole planning process and day of wonderful!

All I can say is THANK YOU! My husband and I had our wedding reception at The Cardinal Room on 9.30.17 and it was the best decision we could’ve made! The space is gorgeous and well maintained, the staff is wonderful, and I will never forget the feeling of warmth we felt that night in that room! From the first visit through the entire wedding weekend, Bo and Bev truly took care of us. The process of finding a wedding venue can be so daunting and I am confident we couldn’t have made a better decision! The bride and groom suites were perfect, the decorating was all taken care of for me and I didn’t worry about a thing, and the reception went off without a hitch! Bo and Bev are genuinely kind and thoughtful people who will make your day perfect. They took care of our guests from the moment they arrived, the timeline moved along even better than we could’ve planned and every single person was RAVING about the night even weeks after. Bo and Bev, from the bottom of our hearts – Thank you thank you thank you – you made our day incredible from beginning to end.

The Cardinal Room was hands down the best choice in the wedding planning process! It was easy, the staff is friendly, helpful and the space is great for any size party! It is a beautiful setting with indoor and outdoor options! Bo, Bev and Susie walked us through every step, gave advice on other vendors, made contact with local hotels and just went above and beyond. The facility is gorgeous for any season and has a bridal suite and groomsmen suite so all festivities can take place on site. .

I just recently had my wedding reception at the Cardinal Room at The Golf Club of Indiana and I was 100% pleased. Bo, the General Manager and the rest of the staff were amazing to work with. They were easy and fast to contact with any questions and they made sure everything ran smoothly for your big day! The venue itself is breathtaking. The outside deck where the coctail hour was held was a huge hit with my guests! The inside is just as beautiful. If I could do it all over again, I would in a heartbeat. The bridal suite was perfect for my size bridal party. I cannot thank the Cardinal Room Staff enough for their kindness and helpfulness. I definitely recommend The Cardinal Room to host any event. I have zero regrets! Thank you again!

Bo and his staff at The Cardinal Room have made the process so easy. From the initial site visit through the contract signing, the staff has been amazing. Bo worked hand in hand with us on every aspect of our big day. We took his recommendations and appreciated the flexibility. I couldn't imagine going through this process without The Cardinal Room staff. Amazing place and great people!

I had the pleasure of being married at The Cardinal Room this fall. Everything was perfect- Bo and Bev went above and beyond to make sure my day was over the top. They are both great planners, organizers, and all around great people. Bo even took time to take my grandparents back to the hotel when it was getting late. The venue is gorgeous and accommodating- no matter the weather. The staff was on the ball all night long. I couldn't possibly thank them enough and now have the best wedding memories because of them.
