We're looking for a place downtown Indianapolis to have a rehersal dinner....any suggestions?

Question

We're looking for something with some charm and character. Not anything TOO exspensive i.e. St. Elmos, Oceanaire, ect...THANKS:)

Answer 1

I went to a rehearsal dinner at the Yellow Rose Inn. It's a lovely bed & breakfast with lots of character that is located downtown. The dinner I attended was held outside in the garden but, they have a really nice dining room inside.

Another nice location downtown is another b&b called The Villa. They have a restaurant upstairs.

The Easley Winery is a charming location that's quite unique.

Iron skillet is close to downtown  & would be reasonably priced.

A great downtown location that can be fun & has a nice banquet room for parties is Buca Di Beppo's...also very reasonable.

If you are having a more casual rehearsal dinner, Iaria's is always fun & more economical.

St. Elmo's is a great spot for a rehearsal dinner but, will be quite expensive depending on the number of people on your list. Oceanaire is a nice idea too but, remember not everyone likes seafood. Sometimes it's better to go with a more standard menu to accommodate all tastes.

Hope these locations are helpful. Congrats & good luck on your upcoming wedding!
