I personally designed VisionLoft with my own style and vision. I felt that there was a need for something different in the event industry. This space is incredibly unique and I am having so much fun meeting brides and hearing their stories. I would say I am incredibly customer driven and want to personalize the day. I know how important this day is and VisionLoft is ready to make that day amazing and special!

Luke and I could not be more thrilled to have had our special day at VisionLofts Stutz building. The venue itself allows for such a great flow of the wedding day, spaces to mix and mingle, the courtyard, the dance floor, and the museum. We had a bigger wedding and wanted to have a large enough space for people to be able to dance but also move about the space, vision lofts was perfect. Sarah, Bar Manager, absolutely crushed it at the reception with the specialty drinks and managing the lines, very professional. We had a bit of a hiccup in communication in the months leading up to the wedding but it was sorted out quickly and effectively. I would recommend visionlofts for anyone wanting to bring their wedding vision to life with vendors of their choosing and fresh and clean slate the Visionloft Stutz provides.

Gorgeous historic venue! They were fabulous - I had to meet in person to visualize the layout and format of the space properly and Heather was fantastic to work with.
The bartenders they provided the day of were FABULOUS! I got so many compliments on them & the drinks they made.
Everything was fantastic :)

Had ceremony and reception at Visionloft Stutz and it was everything we imagined! Sarah was easy and great to work with! The venue is perfect, lots of options. Everyone loved the unique space. LGBTQ+ friendly which was huge for us in picking our vendors.
Recommend booking the Car Museum next door whom they work closely alongside with for cocktail hour! Such a fun space!

WOW! We had our wedding at the Visionloft Stutz in September and it was better than we could have imagined! We secured the venue without ever seeing it and it was the most perfect venue and staff for our day. Not only was it extremely beautiful, but we loved how the doors opened to the courtyard and our guests could hang out in that space as well! Honestly, our wedding was the best day ever and a big part of that was our Visionloft day of coordinator, Brittany. Brittany was extremely helpful, easy to work with, and made our wedding go smoothly and completely stress free. She really cared about us having the best day ever and embraced our vibe of a happy, fun, and chill day! Many of our guests told us afterwards how much they enjoyed Brittany and how helpful she was. We really can't recommend Visionloft Stutz and Brittany enough!

Beautiful space. Staff is very helpful. Wood tables are gorgeous and acrylic ghost chairs are great. We had seating for 170 and it allowed room for a dance floor. More seating would have made dancing a challenge.

I cannot say enough about this venue! Our wedding day was perfect, largely in part to VisionLoft’s amazing coordinator, Heather. She made the entire day run smoothly and we couldn’t have done it without her. The venue is beautiful and perfectly located downtown. It’s within walking distance of so many restaurants, bars, and hotels. They are also extremely affordable and include all their tables, chairs, and other furniture in their rental. We had both ceremony and reception there.
We wouldn’t change one thing about our day. 10/10 recommend booking here and book Heather for a smooth and stress free day!

Going with VisionLoft to host our wedding and reception was one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process! From start to finish, Julie (owner) and Heather (venue coordinator) were amazing to work with. Throughout the year long planning process, there was consistent communication and they were always extremely fast to reply anytime I had a question or needed information. The space was beautiful and clean and the location downtown is unmatched. I’m so glad we went with VisionLoft and would recommend it to any couple looking for a venue in Indianapolis!

I fell in love with the space and we decided to book it for our wedding. Two weeks before our wedding, COVID hit and we were in full lockdown. They offered to have it moved which we did, thinking it would be a short illness and not something that lasted months (and now over a year). The government executive order would not even allow us to have our wedding on our original date even if we wanted too. After changing the date, we decided to cancel completely after a month of changing the date because we did not feel safe in the venue or the lack of precautions they were taking. We realized this was going to be longer than we had expected and could not have the day that we thought and planned for. They did not care one bit about the stress or heartache that planning a wedding in a pandemic causes. They only cared about themselves and the money they were making off of people who were making extremely tough decisions about the most important day of their lives. They are the ONLY vendor we had that did not offer any type of concession due to COVID. Out of dozens of vendors and companies that I worked with, they are the only ones who were not understanding and did not care about their clients. We did not expect a full refund as that is not what we received from other vendors but we received almost half of the amount of all non refundable deposits from other vendors. I’m very sad that they did not care about anything other than money. It was such a difficult and sad time. We would have loved to have our wedding there but could not for the safety of us and our guests. I wish they would have done right by their clients. Truly a shame and sad experience.

Our wedding couldn’t be held because of Governor Holcomb’s Executive Order 20-08 which explicitly forbid the event. Vision Loft refused to offer a refund. Out of a handful of vendors who did offer partial and full refunds, Dan and Julie refused to offer any refund. It says a lot about Dan and Julie. They are ruthless and only care about your money at the end of the day. Please don’t waste your money for this mediocre space with such poor management. If you didn’t reschedule your wedding and Vision Loft has not provided a refund maybe consult someone to speak about it because it seems that the executive order would supersede their contract. Congrats Dan and Julie on screwing us over for $2,250. I hope you feel good about it!

Our wedding was on 12/5/2020, so we’ve obviously been through a lot of ups and downs because of COVID-19, but through it all, VisionLoft was absolutely amazing. We booked with them because of the beautiful space and because of the great vibes we got from our first meeting. And it’s really that good energy that kept us going when we weren’t sure if our wedding could still happen. Julie was always there to respond to my panic emails with reassurance that they were keeping up with every health department update, and the day (really the hour) she found out we needed to apply for health department approval, she was on top of it! Heather and the team set up the space according to my plan, but also spread everything out and were imaginative about how to make it safe AND beautiful. The space is so beautiful and modern on its own, and so romantic when you add your decor. The bartenders were great and Dan even worked with us to accommodate craft beer requests. I can’t say enough good things about these people and their space, and I’m so grateful we did 2020 with them!

Absolutely phenomenal! You couldn't ask for better people to do your reception. Their location is clean, industrial and fun! The staff is even better! We had made requests for specialty cocktails and they were happy to oblige! They made everything perfect!

VisionLoft was a dream for us! We couldn't believe all the options for vendors, layout, and location. The owners and event planner were so amazing and offered so many flexible options for our day. The location is right at the start of Mass Ave and walking distance to everything downtown Indy has to offer. We had both our ceremony and reception in the spot and everyone working our wedding was in such a great mood, which must have been so hard since we were the 3rd wedding of the weekend, but they did not let the tired show at all! The bar packages are great and everyone complimented the glassware and options VisionLoft used. Dan, Julie, and Heather, we couldn't thank you enough for making our day so perfect!

My now-husband and I had our rehearsal dinner here, and it was amazing! Seriously - every detail in this space is gorgeous. The long wooden tables, clear chairs, tile work on the bar, moss wall, exposed brick, and even the wine glasses are all incredible. It's like being inside your dream home on HGTV.
This place is stacked with technology as well. There was a projector on the floor when you walk in the venue with a photo of us, we were able to play our own Spotify playlist through the speaker system the whole time, and there were large screens that dropped down to play a video slideshow after dinner.
Finally, we loved the flexibility to cater in from where we preferred and the wine and beer package was reasonably priced with really great choices. The bartender was super sweet and accommodating as well.
Thank you so much for hosting us!!

this happy event. Your pictures were amazing! Thank you for saying that our space looks like HGTV. I guess all of those hours working numerous episodes paid off!

My husband and I got married in June, and having our ceremony and reception at VisionLoft was truly the best decision we could have made about our day. Julie, Dan, and Heather made sure our day would be perfect MONTHS ahead of time.
Julie asked all the right questions, always replied super fast to emails, and was so supportive with all the right suggestions on how to use the space. She even organized a reserved parking spot for us right outside the front door. Heather was on top of all the organization and handled all of the drop offs and pick ups onsite. Dan took care of setting things up perfectly & crafted a signature cocktail themed to our love! We felt downright spoiled. We seriously could not have pulled it altogether without them.
To top it off, the space is over the top gorgeous! We intentionally chose to keep our decorations minimal to highlight the space for what it already is. If you are looking for the perfect wedding venue, you found it.

We had our wedding at VisionLoft Events and it turned out absolutely beautiful! The space is gorgeous with tons of cool tech options to play with. We had both our ceremony and reception in the space and the staff at VisionLoft performed the entire flip from ceremony to reception in one hour while our guests explored Mass Ave. We had so many compliments on the look of the space and our guests enjoyed the quick break without any problems! I did struggle with communication with the owners and had to hire a separate wedding coordinator to help with that. In the end everything went fairly smoothly I just wish it would have been communicated up front that the owners were hands off regarding planning details along the way. If you plan to hire a coordinator everything should work out well!

Love, love, love! Everything from the venue to the owners to the coordinator. I could not have asked for a better group of people to work with. Of course, I fell in love with the venue from the beginning but Dan, Julie, and Olivia really made the experience. They were so responsive to all of my crazy questions leading into the wedding and especially on the big day. They are really there to help bring your vision to life and are so invested in making sure it is perfect.

My husband and I were just recently married here and had literally the most perfect day. Julie and Dan were so responsive to emails and everything came through perfectly for our big day. We were successfully able to have both the ceremony and reception here for about 140 people. They were both so flexible during our planning process and I could not have asked for a better experience. Not to mention that the venue is absolutely beautiful, I did very little decorating because I didn't need to. It was a gorgeous backdrop for our ceremony and reception, and we have many beautiful photos taken there. Highly recommend!
