Wedding Reception at Tinker House Events

We had our wedding reception at Tinker House Events and we could not have been happier we chose them! The space is beautiful and we received so many compliments from our guests on how cool of a venue it is. Emma, our day of coordinator, was an absolute dream to work with!!! She was with us every step of the way for planning and coordination, and was invaluable on the day of our reception with setting everything up and making sure things ran smoothly. Not only is she extremely gifted at what she does, but she made the whole process less stressful and more fun :) Thank you Tinker House Events and Emma for an unforgettable time!!

Dream Venue!

Tinker House was our dream wedding venue! It was so lovely to have our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one space. We had 98 guests and Tinker was the perfect size to feel like we filled the space but weren't cramped at all. But the star of the show was our day of coordinator, Emma- we couldn't have done any of the amazing things we did without her! She was totally worth the extra cost, especially since we didn't have a traditional planner. I would recommend Tinker to anyone having a smallish wedding in Indiana. If we could go back, we would choose Tinker House every time!

Perfect Venue for a Perfect Day

Lauren and I got married there on June 8th and we're so happy we chose Tinker House. We ended up also booking the Provider space for our cocktail hour, which was a great transition between ceremony and reception. The space has so much character that we kept decor simple but it's also neutral enough that you could make it your own and really go big on decor if you wanted. 

Emma and her team were so helpful the day of and clearly had a lot of experience working weddings and large events.  Emma was our day of coordinator and she was so helpful throughout the whole process that we felt that it was almost too easy. The bartenders were also amazing - we had so many people come up to us throughout the night commenting on the quality of the drinks and service. 

I can't wait to get our photos back from the photographer because the space was such a great backdrop from the brick to the greenery wall to the coffeeshop space and all the natural lighting. Located right next to the Monon, we were able to take some nature-y photos as well!

The balcony was a big hit for many of our guests to get some fresh air after hitting the dancefloor. The bar is a legit bar - not a moveable dinky cooler box - which made it its own moment for our guests. 

They have an elevator which was necessary for some of our guests, handicapped and elderly. 

I cannot recommend Tinker House enough - the venue was amazing.
