Mavris Cultural Center - Indianapolis

As I've mentioned before I try to stay away from the bigger cities, because cool places tend to be so much more accessible in them. But I couldn't resist this one, featured on Bobbi + Mike.

Initially Hillary and I wanted our wedding to be in an industrial, warehouse-ish venue, but just couldn't find the right thing in our general location area. The Mavris Cultural Center would have been perfect!

I love the exposed brick and duct work. And you can't beat those wood floors. Such a cool place!

All photos were taken by the marvelous Bobbi + Mike. Go to their blog to see more of this amazing wedding and that gorgeous bride...seriously, stunning!

The Ohio Building - Terre Haute

I came across this cool venue in Terre Haute, IN while browsing The Knot, which I do occasionally, but I'm knot (harhar) the biggest fan. This one seems like a great find though. I love the cool brick exterior, kind of warehouse-ish. 

They do have a banquet hall that can accommodate up to 300, but with the dropped ceiling and the generic carpet, I think this venue is much more suited for a more intimate group on the second floor...

...which they call Casa Urbana. It's a private residence and can seat 80 for dinner. 

They also have a rooftop that can hold 50 guests and has a fireplace. Seems like the perfect rooftop ceremony/indoor reception scenario to me. 

I really like the mid-century decor this place has. It's modern and slick while still feeling warm and homey. And is that a fish tank in the wall behind the bar? Fun!
