With original brick walls, large garage doors, tall ceilings, and stunning market lights, INDUSTRY is a beautiful blank canvas that transforms beautifully for any occasion—from weddings and quinceañeras to corporate events, galas, mitzvahs, and more. With 24-hour rental access, a flexible vendor policy, and optional in-house services, you have the creative freedom to bring your vision to life. We can’t wait to hear about your event!

What People Are Saying

Featured In & Awards

Our Location

Built in 1908, INDUSTRY was a machine shop for ball bearings and metal fabrication. INDUSTRY underwent renovations in 2014 where the brick was restored, concrete redone, interior beams exposed and windows placed along all 5 sides of the building creating stellar natural light throughout the space. INDUSTRY is located just two blocks from Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the Indianapolis Colts, and three minutes from the center of Indianapolis. The location is considered to be in the industrial district of the city, hence the name.

Frequently Asked Questions

INDUSTRY has a flexible vendor policy so that you are able to customize your event to your liking! 

Are there any In-House/Exclusive partnerships?

INDUSTRY Beverage is our in-house, customizable beverage provider, and we have to say, it’s pretty epic. We also offer planning as an optional add-on service

What are vendor load-in and load-out times?

If you have a 24-hour rental, vendors can load in at 10AM the day of your event, and can load out until 10AM the following day. For hourly rentals, your vendors will need to load-in and out within your contracted time. Just let your Client Concierge know if you need more time.

What are the vendor’s insurance requirements?

We require proof of liability insurance, which any licensed vendor will have anyway

INDUSTRY can accommodate 300 guests for a seated event and much more for a cocktail style reception with limited seating.

When you book INDUSTRY you get the venue, tables and chairs, a beautiful industrial bar, your very own personal Client Concierge and access to Walk Through Wednesdays every week. Our other amenities, including our photo booth, draping and planning are optional add-ons for an additional cost. Click here to see our full list of our extra services.

We offer flexible rental windows – anywhere from hourly, to 24 hours, to multi-day depending on your needs. Hourly rentals may not be available on prime weekend days.

24 hours? 24 Hours. If you book your rental for 24 hours, you get the venue from 10 AM the day of your event, until 10 AM the following day. Yes, you read that right. The 24-hour rental gives you more than enough time to set-up, party, and tear down.

Is there a curfew? There is no curfew inside. Party as long as you want but we do have to stop the service and consumption of alcohol at the locally mandated time.

Can my vendors and I come back in the morning to get our belongings? Can my vendors come back in the morning and get theirs? If you book a 24-hour rental, then yes and yes. We do suggest you appoint someone to take gifts and any personal items home the night-of.

Our Client Concierge team will be your venue representative from the moment you book and throughout the planning process, and will be there on event day to ensure the venue functions perfectly for your event.

The Event Manager arrives once alcohol starts flowing, to ensure we have a dedicated person for facility needs.

Our Planning services are additional fee, and are 110% worth it. Our planners give you your life back, and ensure that your event goes off perfectly. They will stay the entire evening, and handle everything from your setup and flip, to vendor logistics, to getting you down the aisle — even if your ceremony is offsite.

INDUSTRY has onsite parking that accommodates most parties with guest counts of 200 or less. With a 24-hour space rental, cars may be left in the lot overnight provided that they are picked up before 10am. Overflow parking is available in a paid lot directly South of the building. Parking attendants are available pending your event details – ask your Client concierge for more information! Generally events that expect fewer than 100 vehicles will not necessitate usage of a parking attendant.

You and your vendors will handle set-up and remove what they brought into the venue. We include clean-up (sweeping, mopping, bathrooms) in your rental. All personal or event items must be removed by the end of your rental.

If you book planning services through INDUSTRY, your planner will handle your personal items and manage all your vendor expectations.

Your Client Concierge/Planner will advise you on any do’s/don’ts for your floor plan.

What if I am not going to have my event at INDUSTRY? We love to plan and work events throughout the Indianapolis area. Just shoot us a message and we can chat about the details.

Will I be surprised with any ‘hidden fees’ if I book INDUSTRY?

We strive to be as transparent as possible when it comes to any charges related to our venue rental fees and any fees associated with our amenities and services that we offer. For weddings, we do not include a separate fee for ceremonies. All potential additional costs are outlined in your venue rental agreement, such as deviating from the catering vendor list, event insurance, etc.

Do I have to get insurance for me and my vendors?

As standard in the industry, the client is only responsible for purchasing their event insurance policy; all vendors provide a copy of their business insurance policies when they are hired for events, and often we are able to keep these on file if the vendor has been to INDUSTRY before.

How will I know what is included in my rental?

While INDUSTRY is the perfect blank canvas for your event, we do include a large portable bar, tables & chairs, cocktail tables, market lighting, and more in the venue rental fee. These inclusions will be outlined on your venue proposal and attached to your rental agreement. We also offer a range of decor (such as lawn games, pipe & drape, mylar tape dance floor designs and many other fun items), planning and other venue services that you can opt to add to your event experience based on your style, budget, and needs and only then would be charged accordingly. These items and add-on services are not required. Our extensive offerings allow for you to pick and choose what works best for your event without the worry of being charged for things you will not use or that may be provided by one of your vendors. You can see the range of decor and services we offer here.

Are there any fees I should be aware of for Beverage Services?

Our in-house beverage program is required for anyone wanting to serve alcohol at your event. This experience is customizable based on budget and needs, and added services such as specialty cocktails, dinner wine service, water stations, etc. are not required. As is standard in the hospitality industry, the final beverage order will include sales tax, a gratuity for the beverage staff, and an operations fee (similar to a service or admin fee on other vendor proposals). These charges all appear as separate line items on your INDUSTRY beverage proposal for increased transparency.

Are there any fees I should be aware of for Planning Services?

We offer planning services to all of our clients. Each of these packages include different services, and may have added fees if you would like to include an additional planner, more hours, meetings with vendors, etc. Our planners would walk you through the contract for the package selected and outline what is included in the service. Gratuity is not included and is not mandatory, though it is always appreciated if exceptional service is provided.

Are there any fees associated with how we pay?

We can take credit card, check and ACH payments toward open invoices for the venue rental and any additional services that you may choose to add on. There is a small convenience fee if a credit card is used, but this can be avoided by using a check or paying by ACH transfer.

What if I still have questions?

We welcome all of our clients to reach out to their Client Concierge to ask any questions regarding what amenities and services are included, and those that may be additional. We never want our clients to feel surprised!
