Raul Montalvo

Amazing place you have to be there to understand. If you like the 18 to 19 century this place is for you. I love it.

Taylor Knox

It's a beautiful venue for events. The food and drinks are always great. Pictures are of the desserts since I forgot to take pictures of the salad and entree.

As a wedding photographer we love working at the Indiana Roof Ballroom. The staff goes above and beyond to make every wedding a stunning success. The beautiful space is perfect for those wow factor weddings. - Danielle Harris Photography

Beautiful was head here it was fantastic, lots of room and the people were great help. It was handicap accessible and so nice to be able to get around without worring about falling.

Edward Vazquez

Excellent staff; very clean; nostalgic & classy!!! I left my cellphone in the restroom. They not only found it but made arrangements on a day they were closed, for someone to meet me to return it. I was impressed!!

Jan Smith

Stunning place. Being ballroom dancers, we stopped on a Friday morning just on the chance that we could see the place. Doors were unlocked, so we entered. Don't try the stairs... use the elevator. The facility is used mostly as a rental venue for weddings, and was being set up for one tomorrow. The manager, Craig, greeted us and not only welcomed us for photos, which he took, but gave us a tour which included the backstage door upon which two workers had recorded their ratings of musicians almost a century ago. The floor in this place is phenomenal. Rated by Lawrence Welk as the most comfortable dance floor in the world, due to its 1x6" boards (on side so the surface boards are 1" wide & 6" deep) twice suspended, the floor is circular. Unlike any I have ever seen. They have public big band dances 6 times yearly. We have put it on our bucket list. The ceiling has starlight optics and a moon. Check the photos on their website. Magnificent.

Wayne Hamilton

Great time at the Indiana Roof Ballroom during their Big Band Dance Series. Performing was Lonny Lynn Orchestra. Ballroom dancing included swing, rumba, waltz, tango, foxtrot and the cha cha. Band was very good, wish they were better at announcing what type of dance was next. Maybe 60-70% of the time there was an announcement. At times it was a bit crowded and chaotic. Beautiful location, definitely go if you enjoy Ballroom dancing!

Becky Bechtel

Best Wedding Reception Venue in Indiana, Hands Down! Look no further than the Indiana Roof Ballroom for top notch professionalism from the day you sign the contract until you pay the last bill. No other venue compares in the State of Indiana. Our guests have not stopped talking about our daughter's reception. The lighting, the food, the staff, the coordinator (ours was Kile Shaw), the bar, the set-up, etc. Your guests will tell you it is the nicest reception they have ever been to. We feel like our daughter and now son-in-law, were given a fabulous start to their new life together as a married couple!

Italia T

Such a beautiful place! Liz Murray was the key note speaker for this particular event held there. She is the one on stage. Author of the book "Homeless To Harvard."

Dennis Mungle

Our annual banquet is always done at the Roof. They are the best, our group averages 600 plus.

Ed Jurczak

Indiana roof ballroom was one of the best places In Indy We were there for a convention and one of the Sponsors had a private concert from Big & Rich....

Matthew Magner

This place is amazing. We had our State IMTA banquet here. It is great.

Melissa Warner

A wonderful place to go dancing. Love the live bands. Wonderful atmosphere.

Jon Wright

One of a kind venue! Beyond the wonderful ambiance, the service team is incredibly impressive. Attention to detail is A+!

Ben McCann

One of then most unique and beautiful venues around. Been to multiple events here and my daughters wedding will be here.

Frank Perez

The place is beautiful, service is awesome. Good for weddings, company parties.

Matt Haseman

The 3rd time we have attended a dance here. Loved it each time. If we lived closer we would go to all the dances. Appetizers and drinks available too.

Dan Fonnesbeck

I was blown away away how beautiful this facility was. Like it was out of a fairy tail ball. Incredible food and very attentive staff. Wonderful experience.

melissa majestic

Wow!!! Been to the IRB many times over the years. This is the first time that we planned an event there! My daughter recently was married and you all did an amazing job! Kile worked closely with my daughter and her now husband and everything ran perfectly. They are so professional and the evening was magical. So impressed with Kile and the entire staff at the IRB. We received so many comments from friends and family what an awesome job you all did! Thank you so much for making everything run so perfectly!!

Amanda P

The 18th National Philoptochos Children’s Medical Fund Luncheon-November 06, 2021. An absolutely beautiful venue to hold any special event! The atmosphere is incredible! An unforgettable experience I hope to have again!

Lady Warrior

I went to the Ymca passover breakfast friday. it was so full of energy. Matt from Sanctus real band was there with his family giving there testimony. Matt sang a song with his son Bowan. A song Bowan wrote and it was amazing. "No tear, No Fear" So beautiful of a time. Hope to go next year as well.

Robert Coleman

The food and the venue are absolutely stunning. The wait staff are great. At the event, my mom took a bit of a tumble. The head of security did such a great job taking care of her, cleaning her up, and making sure she was okay. It's an upscale place, so any event is going to be ritzy and not cheap. If you have the opportunity to come and experience it, though, you will NOT be disappointed. The only negative I can think of is that the bar staff were not entirely pleasant or put together. That didn't detract from the experience, however.

Ward Furniss

The staff were amazing. There for a wedding reception and they made it a very special day. Very professional and friendly. Overall just a wonderful day. If my sister-in-law gets married again I hope she does it here.

Jean Allaire

Attended a wedding reception here last night. What a beautiful venue! All of the employees were so kind, friendly, polite, and helpful. The food was amazing as well. Only downfall was the cost of parking.

Lauren Gardner

The IRB is hands down the best venue in Indy for any event but especially weddings. I worked with Kile mainly, but had a lot of interactions with Jeff and Craig as well. Everyone was SO helpful during our planning process and amazing the day of. There truly wasn’t a single hiccup the day of our wedding and they all work so well together. I had so many guests reach out to me after our wedding commenting on the wedding and venue. Can’t recommend The Ballroom enough!

Cari Bowersock

If you’re looking for a venue for your elegant wedding, this is an excellent option to consider. It’s great for events of any size & is SO beautiful! I always enjoy when my clients select this venue - I know they’re in great hands with the Roof’s wonderful staff and catering team. A true gem located in the heart of our city.

Alisha Estabrook

Beautiful ballroom with an amazing ceiling and awesome "thunderstorm" display.

Jackie Billy

Beautiful venue with a large stage and dance floor.

Ed Bailey

The bands I play in have performed at the ballroom several times. The staff operates the venue in a very professional manner. Their sound system well enhances what the bands play. Their food preparation staff creates good refreshment offerings. The band's gig last night was very enjoyable, and the paying clients seemed to enjoy the event as well.

Rob Cook

Great atmosphere and Wonderful accommodations

Darnell Spinks

Absolutely beauty! Classic venue with state of the art tech and modern ambience. Jeff, Kile, and the entire team are great to work with! This is highly recommended for your event!

Mary Cross

What an amazing experience we had for our daughter's wedding. Everything about this venue is done down to the detail. The managers were extremely attentive to our needs, very professional and wonderful to work with. The dinner presentation was outstanding, the food and drinks were delicious, and we cannot say enough about the entire staff of the Indiana Roof Ballroom.

Michael Dankert

Was there for an event put on by IMG. This is an amazing space. The event went very well, the food was excellent and the staff were very attentive. The building is beautiful with great character. The domed roof inside is stunning to look at. The whole building was a delight to look at.

hotglassmcnash

Beautiful establishment, and an awesome place to have a venue! Customer service was top notch, and the buffet was attended to throughout keeping food fresh, and filled. Bar staff were a delight. Can't wait till FDIC 2020. Thank you so much!

Nathaniel Edmunds Photography

There isn't another venue like it...anywhere! It is one of the most unique venues in the city. The lighting is unbelievable and can transform the room into ANYTHING. We've photographed wedding ceremonies, wedding receptions, non-profit galas, birthday celebrations, corporate meetings, etc. at the Indiana Roof Ballroom. The staff and ownership at the Roof are some of the very BEST. The food is delicious. We just love photographing here. It is one of our favorites for so many reasons.

Felicia Barner

loooove this place, I've worked here for 19yrs

George Landis

I've never experienced a formal event at the quality that the Indiana Roof Ballroom put forth. I've been to three events there and I would be hard pressed to pick which time was best. Staff were friendly and efficient, food was delicious, and the lighting was soft but well-balanced.

Drew Shumpert

Had the opportunity to DJ a wedding here and as it was my first time there, I was own away! This place is amazing!

Glenn Schwenk

Classy place. Great wait staff. Came for recognition ceremony. Great dancing venue but not today.

Kushal Shah

Very cool venue!

P Hill

I love this historical dance venue. Live big band made for a great evening of ballroom dancing on one of Central Indiana's floors.

Karen Dankert

It was very nice! The food was fantastic, the venue was unique. I just wish they would have continue to fill water glasses through the night.

Sally Myers-Gerth

Wonderful venue in Indy for special events, corporate or private. Antonia & Kile are fantastic to work with. They do everything they can to make events run smoothly and event planners keep cool. Love them and love the IRB.

Justin Lee

100% professional and engaged staff, the highest marks are not enough for this amazing venue. Truely a gem for Indianapolis to have this historic event hall. If you are reading this you are making a great decision.

J. E. Bennett

Gorgeous venue. Looks like an absolute dream

Aaron Cook

Came here for New Year's. Had a great time the food was amazing, the cocktails weren't great but were at least effective, and the DJ they had playing did a phenomenal job. Just don't let your friend drink whole bottle of gin playing drinking games in the hour before you come here. It's just going to end with them shouting randomly as "their song" comes on, but they'd had so much, every song is their song and then they grind on everyone in your group regardless of gender, orientation, or commitment, which will annoy their girlfriend who keeps rolling her eyes and saying, "Oh my god," at everything they do, including talking so much they annoy the uber driver into turning up the radio.

William Miller

Love the floors. Loved the balconies. My son was there to be sworn in to the Indiana bar association. Great place. The serving staff was very nice also.

Richard Grassmyer

Attended Big Band Series for a ballroom dance.. Gorgeous facility..nice, large floor. Dress up and dance! You will have a good time. Arrive early and choose from several local restaurants.

Bill Krueskamp

First time here. The venue is very cool architecturally and the staff was very nice. Excellent customer service. Feels like your somewhere else in the world.

William Bunch

Very spacious and nostalgic. Enjoyed the atmosphere.

Truthly Speaking

Really nice but parking isn't a breeze by far... Even though I think those gentlemen may had been valet .. That's the rating for time spent looking to park and walking the green mile to get right with Jesus on the way.. LoL

Sara Berghoff

Wonderful food, excellent staff and the decor can't be beat. Unlike so many other event spaces The Roof has character to make every event memorable.

Shirley Meade

This is healed as "The Granddaddy of all ballrooms" by bands and dancers and it is! Everyone is great!

Kareema Boykin

Here for the Prayers Breakfast......nice ballroom. Staff were professional. Not much of it but the food was good. Such a small portion or it was the actual......correct portion and I'm just used to more.....don't judge me. Lol
