Unique Indianapolis area wedding spot?

A friend just asked us for suggestions on where to have a wedding for no more than 200 people, preferably indoors, not a church, and that doesn't cost a boatload of cash. Tall order, right? We recommended checking out the following (although we have no idea about the prices) the ACD Museum (it's in Auburn but it is the one place that we wish that we had known about for our wedding- how slick would it be to have your ceremony around all of those great cars?), IMA, Conner Prairie, the Indiana Historical Society, and the BEAUTIFUL Paramount Theatre in Anderson, IN. However, we are putting it out to the blog readers, any thoughts?

Believe it or not, the Canterbury Hotel can be done fairly inexpensively. My wife and I were married there and had the reception upstairs over six years ago.

Good luck to your friends...

We married in the Old Centrum, which is unfortunately no longer available. But our reception site - the Normandy Barn at the Indiana State Fairgrounds was lovely. Not sure if it's available either...

The Harrison Center rents rooms and has several lovely (and disparate) options for affordable prices.

Thanks and thanks- we'll pass those great ideas along.

And, Kirsten, your mention of a barn made us think of Trader's Point Creamery and it looks like they do events there.

I noticed that they do weddings at the new Central Library. Might be a fun place to get married.

The library- what a great idea!! Once again you all are proving that WYA readers are the coolest people with the very best taste.

There is a great spot off the Whiteriver Canal - it is at a church...and they have a beautiful courtyard full of water fountains that leads toward the canal. Not sure what the church is called though - it is off MLK and New York - kind of.
