I had the privilege of attending an event at VisionLoft Events, a three-location Indiana…read more(technically, I think Stutz is considered one location that includes event center/Stutz Car Museum) center weaving together strong personality, high-tech capabilities, and a nice personalization of atmosphere. Started by Julie and Dan Johnston, VisionLoft is a beautiful space that is ideal for business events, wedding receptions, and a number of other special events that would benefit from a comfortable atmosphere and strong tech (You'd be amazed how hard that combination is to find). This is located in downtown Indy, of course, and is adjacent to Wheeler Mission (It works. Let your biases go.). You enter through a two-sided glass doorway. There's a beautiful fireplace and bar area, wood floors, a greenery area, modern seating (clear, quietly dignified), and as someone who was a speaker during the event I liked that I didn't have to go up on a stage. VisionLoft utilizes several caterers as options including some right from Mass Avenue. The event I attended utilizes Nameless Catering, a caterer I've been familiar with and a caterer I've long appreciated. People were friendly, the atmosphere was comfortable, and service was strong throughout. Parking can be along nearby streets or parking garages (it's all paid). For those getting married in nearby churches or on Monument Circle, this would be an amazing reception option. I did not try the restrooms, though they are labeled as accessible and there's an obvious effort at accessibility at both front and back entrances (odds are the back entrance is ramped also for the caterers). Where I feel obligated to drop what would definitely be a 5-star review is in that area of accessibility. Even upon arrival (before the crowd), moving around was a tad difficult given the table layout. Once people arrived? It was close to impossible - this created the inability to really enjoy the food (or even get to it) and the bar. By the end of the event, I was starved and hit Mass Avenue (fortunately, a close journey of 1-2 blocks). As someone who deals with accessibility on a daily basis, I saw easy tweaks that could have been done to ensure everyone could enjoy the space. It seems like the intention was there, however, in terms of accessibility it definitely fell a bit short (I don't have this experience at Stutz, by the way. It's clear this company cares about access because they went way above and beyond at Stutz). Overall, this is a beautiful space that I definitely recommend. The atmosphere is modern yet also personal and and warm. The high-tech features are great. The acoustics worked quite well for speakers. The proximity to major downtown attractions is for sure awesome. I would definitely return, however, I might shy away from a sold-out or I might simply encourage some advanced planning to improve accessibility.

Bathrooms were tidy, coffee was plentiful as were sodas and waters throughout the day, and it's walkable to the City Market which makes taking a tasty lunch break easy to do. Not just a work space either. I could see this place being the perfect location for a lovely cocktail party or catered gathering as well.

Happy #ThankYouThursday Yelp friends! If you've ever been curious about the nicely redone building…read moreslightly off of 46th Street and Keystone, this is it. It's a co-working space for driven local businesses, many of them being home services businesses. The owner of the space also owns Homesense Heating & Cooling (also loved on Yelp) and is an incredible person. He also lets The District Church use the space on Sundays. I love how multi-purpose and helpful the space is. Black Circle Brewing and Elena Ruz Cuban Cuisine are also located in the building, but on the back of the co-working space. CO-WORKING SPACE: The co-working space is nice and recently renovated. They offer 24/7 access, a complimentary mailbox, local coffee, networking events, business improvement seminars, conference rooms, and secure shipping/receiving for members of the space. You can rent anything from a local to a small or large office, to an entire floor. Their different packages are on their website! EVENT SPACE: The great space is also open to non-members to rent as well. We had a cocktail and painting class event here and loved using the multiple spaces. We had the cocktail class and catering set up in the beautiful kitchen, and used the multi-purpose room for the painting class. The owner Brian was super nice and helped us set up a few extra tables. They also have their different event space prices on their website too. The owner is so awesome, so this is definitely a place I love to support! They also do so much good for local businesses and the community, so def. check it out if you're looking for a space!

The breakout rooms and conference room are handy. Knocked off a point because: a couple of members have long loud video chats in the common space (not cool), and they seem oblivious to those around them (and as far as I can tell, mgmt does not clue them in to go move their calls to a room). Also, too many days where the space is completely closed to members.

This facility has a great rustic/industrial vibe, and is perfect for small to midsized events. Thoughtful consideration has been given to the design and the space is both roomy and intimate. The wood tables, comfortable variety of seating, and design accents just WORK. There's a really cute loft that could be used for a VIP area, staging space, or simply expanded space for event guests. The bar area is perfectly sized, and the conference room space makes a perfect prep kitchen. Overall score 12/10, would recommend

It was nice to go to a nice venue without having to go way out from Indy. Most venues I have been traveling either far west or far east or downtown from me which means a 20-30 minute drive. With the recent snow and cold, I appreciated The Spotlight Event Center being ultra convenient. The is a raised stage area made of one step with spotlight and in the daytime sunlight comes through nicely. There seems to be plenty of space for it seems up to 100 people. The event that I was at had about 50 people and we were not crowded in. There is one bathroom with a changing table, a bar sink area but I didn't see a refrigerator or stove if you need to keep food/beverages cold or heat food up. I can see the space being used for an intimate wedding, engagement party, bridal or baby shower easily. Since The Spotlight Event Center is in the shopping strip where Blind Owl brewery, Peak Performance, etc there is plenty of space for parking. I cannot review pricing since I didn't book this event, or other contractual details. I am definitely going to keep The Spotlight Event Center in mind as a venue if I need a space for an event.

With the lighting features and design of the space, you can easily customize it to make it your own with flowers, color additions, bars in different spaces and a variety of table layouts. All of the staff that we encountered were friendly and on top of it. I can only speak for the space as an attendee versus the actual event planner. In summary, this place is a beaut and probably one of my favorite venues I've encountered in the Circle City.

It's no secret that I'm a fan of CoHatch, a 30+ location network of co-working, community spaces…read morethat has been in existence for just under 10 years since its start by six friends in Columbus, Ohio. CoHatch, which has hosted at least a couple Yelp events that I can remember, currently has five locations in Central Indiana (a sixth, Circle Centre, I believe has closed). The locations include Polk Stables, Zionsville, Carmel, Noblesville, and this location in Broad Ripple. This location is housed in a former church (I know it used to be Common Grounds and I'm pretty certain it was at least one church before that). There's still some of the stained glass windows present. Managed by Jenna, whom I met during a Polk Stables Yelp event, this location seems to be quite busy. While I didn't get a chance to go around it as much as I'd have liked as I was here for an actual meeting, I was impressed with the decor, amenities, the people I met, and the efforts to make it accessible. Let's start there. Not every CoHatch location is truly accessible - they tend to locate in unique and often historic buildings. This can create challenges to true accessibility. This location has accessible parking in the back along with a ramp that goes up to one of the doorways. If you're not a member, you'll have to be let in. I wasn't completely thrilled with the end of the ramp - it's got a bit of a lip to it, however, the effort is obvious and it definitely works. The parking is also truly ADA compliant. I didn't notice all the businesses here, however, I did note that the Sagamore Institute maintains offices here. This location has the usual coworking spaces, a large event space, an outdoor area with a patio and kitchen, a sports simulator, and private offices. They have high-speed Wifi, coffee/tea options, meeting rooms (we used one to record an interview), 24/7 access, phone booths, office supplies, mailbox service, printing/copying, workshops for members, a kitchen, and an onsite manager. The neighborhood feels safe and is a pretty easy jaunt over to Broad Ripple's main strip. I like the decor, though found it a bit more plain than some of the locations. I think Polk Stables remains my favorite of the Central Indiana locations. This location is probably the closest to my home and it's definitely someplace I could see myself working. As someone who does a lot of social outreach/charity work, I definitely saw spaces I could bring to life here. I also did notice the restroom offered nice accessibility and there were some personal supplies in the restrooms - nice touch. I'd wanted to stop into this place and was pleased when I found out a meeting was going to be here. I finally got to check it out and was definitely impressed.

I liked that they had maintained the structure and tried to continue the architectural flairs and quiet spaces yet allowing for new design inside. It is used for various offices and you can either rent out an office space (small cubicle) or just work in one of the many co-work spaces. It was tasteful and expansive but also had several little nooks for a quieter space. There were outside spaces and even a Barbeque space that could be rented for parties or business outings. My meeting was a fun way to be exposed to this location and will definitely be returning to try out some of the other spots for meetings or work.
