He's…read moredone a 6000-person Christmas party, a 100-person brunch bash, and a 50-person rooftop event. Not only is DJ Chad one of the nicest and friendliest people around, he's also incredibly professional - asking you music preferences for the event, hauling his equipment easily and quickly, placing speakers in the prime spots, and feeling out the room. Every time he's been at one of our events, I've told him to play whatever he thinks would be best. For the Christmas event, he played twists on a few classics in addition to fun, feel-good music and for the other two events, he played cool beats that really kept the party going. Chad recently DJed Carmel High School prom (big deal - that's 1000+ people), as well as any other type of local event - corporate, weddings, etc. He's one of my favorite vendors to work with, so definitely reach out to him!

Probably one of my favorite events in Indy. A contemporary arts & music festival for the common…read moreperson. The concept of the festival is to bring affordable art to the audience. Most of the artwork are priced less than the traditional art festivals. There is also an interactive element to Oranje. As you stroll through the different booths, you might be asked to draw or paint something and contribute to the artwork. One of the most memorable booths I came across was a mock music studio. You can put on some headphones, bop your head to a beat, spit a few rhymes, and they will upload a video for you! On the music side, there are multiple indoor/outdoor stages featuring DJs and bands that play original music. Over 30+ musical artists will be there. The director of Oranje is a DJ himself so he knows his stuff. In the outdoor area, attendees are encouraged to spray paint a tractor trailer as a form of public art. Just try not to get the paint on yourself! In addition to arts & music, there is a fashion & films lounge featuring craft cocktails. it's a nice segway from the hustle and bustle of the festival. And since PBR is a sponsor, your inner hipster will feel right at home walking around with a can. And of course local favorite Sun King will be there, and food will be available for purchase. Overall, i just like the underground industrial feel of Oranje. You will see people from all walks of life having a good time at this event. If you are looking to Indulge Your Senses, Oranje is the place to be!

A shame really, considering it was a great night to be outside.

The food was very great. Service: TERRIBLE . We had our event at the Indianapolis Zoo where there…read morepolicy is that you can't set up your event until a few hours before the wedding, so naturally we were cramped for time already. 1) the caterer agreed to have all our tables (aside from a select few) ready by 2:30 pm so my planner could come set up the reception site ( centerpieces, etc) and have time to get everything done before the ceremony (at 5:30 pm) and our photographer could take picture while it was empty. NOPE, didn't happen. They didn't have anything ready for us. In fact some of my family had to miss the ceremony because were still setting up the reception because Centerplate put the tables together so late. AND my photographer was not able to get any pictures of the reception site before people entered so I don't even know what everything looked like before people came in. 2) I gave them my seating chart, a diagram, and an excel sheet for the table arrangements, how many seats to each table, and what food goes where and they still set everything up wrong. Some of my guests, including my in-laws did not even have seats or food and had to argue with the event manager to get seats moved and food ordered!!!!! Not OK!! I was completely embarrassed. 3) The bartender was incredibly rude to my guests and at 1 point refused to serve my mother in law; not because she was drunk but because she didn't wait in line. The guests were so outraged by that blatant disrespect that they all started yelling at the bartender to serve her saying "she's the mother of the groom AND she's paying the bill!" Again NOT OK! 4) When the bar closed I met with the manager to discuss re-opening it. I asked can I do another 2 hours and she said "no, everything is by package so you would have to do another three hours for another $4500" But not 10 minutes later another girl comes out and quotes my husband $750 for 2 hours. I'd say that's a huge lack of communication. All in all for the money that we payed to have our event at the Zoo we got gypped. They were rude and ill prepared and I would not recommend them ever again. And the shame is when you want to have an event at the zoo, which is absolutely beautiful, you have no choice but to use them as a caterer. This sucks because now, I suspect, the Zoo's business will be affected. Its a crying shame really.

She showed up on time and was very good with the kids. She offers a lot of services for the party. She is a one stop shop. She offers a magic show, face painting, ballon animals and games. She has great communication. She called and confirmed the day before the party and made sure that coming dressed as a new style clown, without the white make-up, was appropriate. During the party she opened with a brief magic show, followed by face painting, and then she offered to do games like limbo. She was awesome. making the payment was as easy as making the reservation. She sent an invoice and I paid her electronically. She made featured the birthday boy during her show and made his day special. It is a birthday that he will not forget. I highly recommend checking her out for your next event with some little ones.

Also, the food was kind of meh, and half of the tables was not bussed after we finished our meals, so there were plates of food sitting out all evening.

Now, this space is called Dallara Experience Hub, and it mostly serves as a venue for events. That's how I ended up here! I visited Dallara for a media event. One of the things that initially struck me about the space is that it's so open and airy. There is a lot of natural light coming through the huge windows that face Main Street. That's definitely nice. The second thing that struck me is that it was incredibly loud in there! The floors are concrete and the ceilings are high, so the sound of people talking bounces all around. I had a hard time hearing the people right next to me. But the space itself is nice and minimalist. There was lots of room to move around, and there were even Indy cars displayed here and there. Plus, the location is nice and relatively central. (Well, more on the west side of Indianapolis, but still.)

Now closed to the public, you need an "open house" to be able to tour the facility. Today and…read moretomorrow are just that, an open house event with racing simulators available too. Plus they are selling "spare" parts. For example, you can buy the bottom of an IndyCar and make a table or buy a seat and make a video chair. These same chairs are used for their theater seating. I paid $15 for a tour. I saw a short film on the history of Mr. Dallara, from his start with Enzo Ferrari in Italy, to Lamborghini, then Maserati and F1, and eventually IRL and IndyCar. Everything in an IndyCar and IndyCar Lights except the engine and electronics is manufactured by them. The carbon fiber "tub" that the drivers sit in is so light you can pick it up with one hand. Did you know they are developing an autonomous car (driverless) for the IndyCar Lights? It is to be used for R & D purposes to test tires for instance and it goes 180 mph. It is planned to be showcased in Las Vegas soon. They have also worked with Raytheon Missile systems in Tucson to adapt their quick release system to missiles on planes and other military vehicles. Something else I learned was that paint is no longer used on today's race cars because it is too heavy. What you see on cars is basically a giant decal provided by a graphics company that also works inside this facility. And I did not know A.J. Foyt racing is located directly across the street. The tour was short but highly interesting for an IndyCar fan such as myself. Even some of the houses in Speedway near here are decorated with racing memorabilia and Indy 500 signs. See you this weekend at this year's 2nd IndyCar Road Course race along with the NASCAR double header.
