It is truly a one of a kind venue due to its multiple levels and all-inclusive elements that make planning and your wedding day a breeze. Not every wedding venue includes catering, an awesome outdoor ceremony space (as well as a beautiful interior ceremony space), a day of coordinator, and an entire team to set up the wedding of your dreams. Hands down the best part of our experience at the Mavris was our planner and confidant -- Aly. Aly and her staff are all EXPERTS in the wedding business. She is fantastic at her job. She is fun, caring, pays great attention to detail, so quick to respond to any emails, and above all knows how to get people to where they need to be with a smile on her face. We had a slight hiccup with some furniture pieces not being delivered the day of and Aly was immediately on the phone and with her magic was able to get everything in place before I arrived. I did not even know there was a problem. We were slightly behind schedule, but Aly and the rest of the Mavris team put me at ease and everything went perfectly. We had the most perfect outdoor fall wedding ceremony followed by a fun and love-filled reception. Everything was so magical and romantic and whimsical and authentic--totally out of a dream! Couldn't imagine a better space, or a better experience. THANK YOU, Mavris!

I have now been to two weddings and a formal event at Mavris this season and it is a great venue…read moreand hidden gem in Indy! 3 story building with an outdoor roof portion perfect for cocktail hour or ceremonies. The industry feel is breath taking! I have had both buffet style and plated at Mavris. The service was professional and efficient. My plated steak was by far better than the buffet due to the temperature but that is typical expectation for buffet style. But otherwise some of the better wedding food I have had in the city! Parking is down the road under the bridge and can be left overnight which is a nice perk for weddings or late night events. My only complaint is the train and helicopters can be heard during ceremonies and cocktail hour. So if noise is an issue for you I would stray away but otherwise great venue for your next event!

Nicole Britt with Brilliant Events is by far the most unprofessional individual I have ever worked…read morewith. The business Brilliant Events has unfortunatly catered to this terrible experience and for that reason I wish to share my unsettling experience so no other individuals have to go through similar events. To start off, I searched for a wedding planner on Thumbtack and Brilliant Events was one of many event planning business that touched base with me. Nicole Britt was the contact for them, and it was my understanding that she was also in part, the business owner. Things in the beginning went great. We met for coffee and just got to know one another, what we were looking for in a wedding/event planner, what we already had planned or what we were seeking to essentially figure out if Nicole Britt and her business Brilliant Events would be a good fit for the both of us. We determined very quickly that it was a perfect match up. We already had all of our venders in order, we already had the venue booked, the dress purchased; we really only needed a wedding planner to help set up and tear down day of, someone to ping pong design ideas off of, someone to keep our timeline on track, and possible some decor ideas/materials. Nicole let us know that any and all materials she had available from all the other events/weddings she has done was ready available at our discretion. She let us know that whatever she didn't have she would be willing to go half with us so she could keep them for future weddings/events for her business. We signed the contract and began the planning. We then quickly realized that things were not going as planned. We only met a few times, however Nicole never remembered any of our wedding details when we did meet. I continually had to keep e-mailing her back and forth things that we had already discussed or what we even wanted. She continually tried pressuring us into changing our vendors and even our venue. She let us know that she could get us a great discount if we used the people/places she recommended and even let is slip that she herself got a kickback for the referral. We had a face to face meeting and finally got to where we were on the same page again. We communicated back and forth and then hit another bump in the road with having additional people help her set up and tear down. Her idea was recruiting her family, her husband and her children to help with the wedding. I was uncomfortable with this and expressed that with Nicole. After this, our communication lines went cold. Weeks went by and I had heard nothing from Nicole. I reached out to Brilliant Events even, trying to reach Nicole Britt so we could continue our planning. But I got nothing. I then got a certified letter in the mail that she had canceled out contract and backed out of our arrangement. She of course kept our deposit and all the money we had given her upfront for any expenses she may have needed on behalf of us. The only reason I heard back from Nicole and Brilliant Events was because I threatened legal action. Her reason for canceling our contract was because "we broke her contract" yet we had our lawyer take a look at our contract and our e-mails back and forth and he said she and her business Brilliant Events unlawfully canceled our contract and essentially embezzled our money. She later said that she was too busy with "other events" and her feelings got hurt that we weren't considerate enough to allow her to not get away with not doing some of her services she initially offered up. She then tried to talk us into signing a new contract and even asked for more money in order for her to continue planning our wedding. Mind you this was only 2 months before our actual wedding. This whole experience has been a nightmare. Please DO NOT USE BRILLIANT EVENTS or NICOLE BRITT for any event planning. She is a scam and so is the business she owns/operates/works for.

Every team member I talked with who was working the event was genuinely kind and friendly. Yes, they were busy, but not too busy to help, give directions, and answer questions. I watched as they moved between set-up and tear-down. I watched them interact with the guests and each other, and what I saw was impressive. One team member in particular was taking charge and leading the others, so I decided to say hello. This team member happened to be Rich, the owner. I thanked him for his team's kindness and genuine desire to help his guests. I asked him to tell me more about his business and why I saw a VIP/Chik-Fil-A level of friendliness and service from his team. He shared the story of how Ivory Foundry came to be. He and his wife were former wedding photographers, and they started compiling a list of things they wanted in a venue from a guest experience standpoint and a photographer's wish list for a venue. They started Ivory Foundry to provide a great venue for Indy residents to hold special events. They are family-owned, not corporate, and are one of only two indoor and outdoor wedding event spaces in Indianapolis. Rich and his wife decided to focus on providing value to their guests. They wanted to eliminate the "Nickel and Dime" billing practices of the other venues and provide exceptional value for the clients who chose to share their great moments with them. It shows, from my experience. The facilities are beautiful, and the team was kind, friendly, and ready to help make the event we attended a great experience. If you are looking for a great venue and a great team to work with, I highly recommend Ivory Foundry. Support a local Indy business and host your next event with a great faclity and team.

Wow!! What a transformation!! I haven't seen this building since it was Jonathan Byrd's restaurant…read more The exterior is now black and white which is very classic and understated. The Nest Event Center is located in Greenwood just off I-65 at Main Street. The parking lot is quite large and will accommodate a large event. The interior is amazing and you'd never know it was a former restaurant. The lobby area is very attractive, decorated in beiges and cream, and I could see using this for cocktails, a reception line plus so much more. It worked well tonight for purchasing tickets plus an area to sit and relax while enjoying the fireplace. The versatile ballroom is quite large and can handle everything from a wedding, conference to special events. One of those special events is the Holiday Craft Show tonight. The Event Center has a neutral color scheme and can accomadate most bridal or conference color schemes. This proved to be true with all the colors associated with the Holiday Craft Show. Tonight all different color schemes were used and all the crafts looked wonderful. With this neutral backdrop any decor theme would work nicely allowing brides or companies a great deal of flexibility and creativity. The Holiday Craft Show was a huge draw. Many different types of vendors filled the ballroom carrying Christmas decor, wreaths, jewelry, clothing, wool mittens, woodworking projects, signs, candles, crocheted items, lap blankets, floral arrangements and much more. There truly was something for most anyone's interest and many gift ideas. In the future I would like to take an official tour and checkout pricing for a yearly event I'm involved with. This is a beautiful venue with endless potential.
