What Does the Open Vendor Policy Mean at INDUSTRY?

July 1, 2025

Planning a wedding should be about freedom, not restrictions—and that’s why so many couples are seeking an open vendor wedding venue in Indianapolis. At INDUSTRY, we believe your wedding day should reflect your vision, not someone else’s list of rules. That’s why we proudly offer an open vendor policy: giving you the flexibility to bring in the team that fits your style, your culture, and your budget.

What is an Open Vendor Policy?

An open vendor policy means you aren’t limited to a venue’s preferred or exclusive vendors. Unlike all-inclusive venues that require you to use in-house services, INDUSTRY lets you hire professionals that best match your priorities—whether that’s creative vision, pricing, or personal connection.

Here’s what couples can typically customize:

  • Caterer (everything from food trucks to formal plated dinners)

  • Florist or floral designer

  • Photographer or videographer

  • Wedding planner or coordinator

  • DJ or live band

  • Hair and makeup team

  • Cultural or religious specialists

This approach offers you the freedom to fully personalize your day.

Why Couples Love This Flexibility

Control is everything. With an open vendor policy, you can build a team that fits your vibe, values, and price point. Whether you’re planning a luxe black-tie celebration or a casual, family-centered affair, the freedom to choose vendors means your wedding is a true reflection of you.

This policy is especially important for multicultural weddings. You can bring in vendors who are fluent in your traditions, dietary preferences, or religious customs—no approvals, no added fees.

INDUSTRY’s Vendor Policy Explained

INDUSTRY was built with flexibility in mind. Our open vendor policy is generous and clear.

  • All licensed and insured vendors are welcome

  • Food trucks and specialty beverage vendors (hello, coffee carts!) are allowed

  • Any planner, DJ, caterer, or florist is welcome

  • Need a suggestion? Our team has curated a list of vendors who are familiar with our space and we love working with. This is a great starting point, but you’re not restricted to only these vendors!

We do require all vendors to provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI), and we ask that they follow our guidelines for load-in, load-out, and cleanup to keep the event running smoothly.

Have a creative idea, like a late-night snack truck or a DIY dessert table? We’re all for it—just ask us how to make it happen.
