Coming Together for Treasured Moments
Host an event to remember at a venue you and your guests will never forget. Laurel Hall, in all of its opulence and splendor, was built as a family home with an emphasis on being a place for them to entertain. Every foot of the space was designed and constructed to fill its visitors with awe – an effect that is just as prevalent today as it was in 1916 when it was constructed. In the early 1900s Laurel Hall stood as a source of grandeur and gossip – with the stories of the extravagant parties thrown and rumors of the owner’s scandalous antics the talk of Indianapolis. Over a century later, the mansion still stands as a landmark of entertaining in Central Indiana.
Entertaining your guests with a social event at Laurel Hall is the perfect way to add a wow factor to any event. Whether you’re hosting a sweet 16, a baby shower, a 50th anniversary, or looking for a reason to get dressed up and celebrate life, Laurel Hall can elevate your event. The venue offers enough space to host a group of two hundred guests, but the design and spaces are cozy enough to make even the smallest groups feel at home. Our versatile venue spaces and large list of preferred caterers allow you to mix and match options to create a plan that best fits your event.
