Basic furniture such as tables and chairs will be supplied, setup, and cleaned-up by the team. With bar services provided by the venue, you will be given a list of trusted vendors to choose from for other aspects of the occasion.
We loved everything about our wedding at the Tinker House! The staff were detail oriented, kind, and knowledgeable. The venue itself is also extremely beautiful and perfect for our winter wedding! I cannot recommend this place enough, I wish I could relive that day again and again! Reviewed on 31-12-2023

We held our wedding at Tinker House Events, and had an absolutely amazing experience! Emma was incredibly professional, flexible, and communicative to ensure our day was everything we hoped for! The planning was detailed and extensive and all our questions we thought of Emma and Tinker House helped us. We never have planned anything as large as a Wedding and they made it as simple and easy as can be. The day of coordinating was perfect, Emma and her team minimized any anxieties we had. We will always remember this and how perfect it all was! The venue was absolutely gorgeous even with having minimal decor that we brought. The venue still looked romantic and put together and we have received so many compliments on how beautiful it looked. Thank you to Tinker House for making our day so perfect! Reviewed on 10-10-2023

I would recommend Tinker House to anyone hosting an event, especially a wedding. We had our best day there! Emma was our day of coordinator and was absolutely fabulous! She made the process so easy, fun and as stress free as possible! She took all of my inspo and helped make it a beautiful reality. The space is lovely on its own so minimal decorations were needed. And they were very accommodating with the vendors we wanted to use. Reviewed on 20-09-2023

The Tinker House was perfect in every way for our wedding! From the moment we met with their team, we were met with the highest level of professionalism. They helped bring our vision to life, and their event team made every part of the process as smooth as possible, especially the day of. If you have the chance to work with Emma B, she was particularly amazing! She had the highest level of professionalism and organization in every meeting leading to our wedding, taking care of the tiniest of details that we would have never thought of on our own. The venue itself is beautiful and versatile to meet any need or vision. All of our guests adored the venue, and we have not stopped hearing about how amazing the bar/drinks and bar staff were, even two months later. We really cannot recommend the Tinker House and their staff enough for your special event! Reviewed on 15-07-2023

Tinker House was the PERFECT place to host our wedding! Emma B., our venue coordinator, went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. She was incredibly organized and responded quickly to all of our questions. She is also just a joy to work with - kind, patient, and creative! The venue itself is beautiful - it truly doesn't need much to look spectacular and our photographer/videographer team had plenty of spaces to shoot inside on a very hot day. The size was perfect for our ~150 person wedding and our guests LOVED cocktail hour in Provider! Would recommend to anyone getting married in Indy! Reviewed on 12-06-2023

Julie Bowman(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-05-2022 Tinker House Events has a great aesthetic and is the perfect size for a 100-150 attendee wedding! Conveniently located near downtown but with a parking lot for all those guests afraid of city driving and parking ;) We chose Tinker in part because they have built-in projector screens and are affiliated with a great coordination business (one less vendor to find independently, for day-of coordination). Four stars seems generous otherwise, though: the venue rental fee is overpriced, and **beware**, they bait-and-switched us on the bar packages. We love craft beer, and one of the reasons that we signed with Tinker was their add-on bar option for partial kegs of draft beer. At the last venue meeting, the venue coordinator (Miranda) informed us that they no longer offer draft beer whatsoever. The saleswoman (Christine) acted like this was news to her, too, but she/Miranda could have at least communicated upfront about the change. Otherwise, Miranda was prompt in communication throughout, and Christine is very prompt during the sales period. Overall, I recommend Tinker House Events with some reservations.

Leanna Chan(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-05-2022 Working with Tinker House was a dream! When we were first looking at venues, it was very easy to set up a time to visit the space and later, when we were trying to figure out our date, our contact, Christine, was helpful through the whole process! Just 2 weeks after our wedding and we are still getting so many compliments about the space - it is above a coffee shop that my husband and I adore, has exposed brick and the most incredible lighting. It was exactly the vibe we were looking for! Reviewed on 25-05-2022
Bridget Merlina(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-03-2022 This is a one-of-a-kind venue. Its ambiance is eclectic and industrial, and allowed for us to design a beautiful wedding, while also keeping the beauty of the original building in tact. We opted to use Provider Coffee for our cocktail hour and our guests loved this added space! It was a unique opportunity for guests to continue the party in another space while the ceremony room was being turned into a beautiful reception space. Upstairs in Tinker House Events, the bridal suite is UNMATCHED. It's a gorgeous room for pictures and hanging out. The unique pieces in the space (light fixtures, artwork, and more) are so well accentuated that there is little need for decoration, although decoration just helps brighten the space. So much natural light and the use of farmhouse tables was wonderful. The bar choices were great and the staff were helpful throughout the planning process. This venue is a hidden gem that shouldn't be overlooked for a wedding or event! Reviewed on 28-03-2022
Sara Kramer(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-01-2022 We had our wedding here and it was wonderful! Everything went smoothly on the day and I felt taken care of by the staff. We did the ceremony upstairs in Tinker, then had a cocktail hour downstairs in Provider, they flipped the room for dinner and we came back up for the rest of the night. I definitely recommend using Provider for a cocktail hour! It's a beautiful and well-lit space that doesn't really need any additional decorating or furnishing. The sound and technical aspects of the event all went off without a hitch. The \"green room\" space was also beautiful and was the perfect home base for the wedding party to get out of the spotlight. All the wood, exposed brick, and twinkly lights were beautiful and gave us exactly the sort of vibe we were going for. I can't recommend it enough! Reviewed on 27-01-2022

The bar is large, so no concerns about long lines forming. The bridal suite was perfect for pictures with the velvet couch and fun bulbs.

Alex Holland(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-06-2021 Tinker House was an absolute dream wedding venue for us! When we were looking at venues, we wanted somewhere that was a little industrial but also felt cozy. We opted to have both the downstairs for our cocktail hour and upstairs for our ceremony so that the venue and our cater could flip the room for the reception. The first floor (by day, Provider Coffee Shop) was an incredible spot for the cocktail hour which included the patio space outside. We used Christine Kingery Events (Christine, Robin, and Michaela were a dream to work with!) and the team made our vision come to life with absolutely no hiccups.Every inch of space within Tinker House is meticulously thought through and there are multiple areas for photo ops. They were so easy to work with and even helped us to pick a spot to hang a neon sign we were using for a backdrop rather than having to rent a backdrop to hang it from. Additionally, when we wanted to do a signature drink that wasn't a part of our bar package they had great options for adding it on that didn't break our budget. The venue is an incredible value compared to other venues downtown. Our guests would not stop raving about how beautifully decorated and cool space was. They have multiple ceremony/reception backdrops on site you can add to your package for a minimal fee and really makes the space feel special. There is a ton of parking and a balcony that looks towards the downtown skyline! For your downtown, cool, hip, beautiful venue needs, put this venue on your list! Reviewed on 25-07-2021
Madeline Potter(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-06-2021 Renting the Tinker House Event space was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

Olivia Stoner(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-04-2021 TINKER HOUSE IS A MUST-USE VENDOR!!! We toured a lot of similarly styled venues for our April wedding, but we knew the second we walked in that this place was for us. The first floor (by day - Provider Coffee Shop) was the PERFECT spot for an cool, fresh, vibrant cocktail hour. We opted for the ceremony and reception to both take place here and did a full room swap and everything was done flawlessly. We also used Christine Kingery as the wedding coordinator (she partners with Tinker House) and she and her team made our vision come to life effortlessly. Every spot inside and out of Tinker House is photogenic, and they have very affordable packages for every couple. The vendor lists they provide are also incredible and made planning that much easier. Our guests RAVED about this gem downtown. Ample parking, great balcony, incredible decor and vibe, amazing team. Wish i could give more than 5 stars!!! Reviewed on 21-04-2021
Emma Jay(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-08-2020 I mean the space speaks for itself. Its beautiful and different from anywhere else around. You can have your ceremony, reception, and cocktail hour there comfortably, the location is convenient, and parking is free and ubers are cheap to downtown Indy. But what makes this place amazing is the people who run it! I was supposed to get married in May, but due to COVID postponed to August. They were so accommodating, were incredibly flexible working with me on setting a new date, and were super responsive and kind during such a crazy time. After hearing horror stories from other brides about venues upcharging them or not giving deposits back after postponing due to COVID, I was so happy I made the decision to book Tinker. I can't recommend them enough! Reviewed on 08-09-2020
Anna Laughlin(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-06-2019 The minute my husband (then fiancé) stepped into Tinker, we knew it was the perfect place for our reception - in fact this is the only place we looked at. We initially met with Mo, who gave us a tour of the beautiful building. The event space is gorgeous. The bar, light fixtures, bridal room, the natural light from the windows, the exposed brick and amazing view of the city from the balcony makes not only a great atmosphere to celebrate in, but also a great atmosphere to have photos taken. The added bonus to this space is the trendy, sweet, and fun coffee shop (Provider) on the first level. We rented that space out for our cocktail hour and it was perfect. Our guests loved having the outdoor patio space. Nevertheless, the team behind the scenes is what makes this place so special. We worked with several different people throughout our planning and every person was extremely responsive to questions we had and were always willing to meet in person. Our day-of-coordinator, Robin, had everything set-up just as we imagined, kept our timeline on schedule, and made day easy for us. Overall, the night was flawless. Having Tinker as our reception venue was one of the best and easiest decisions we made and we cannot give a higher recommendation! Reviewed on 15-05-2020
