Travel, Lodging, and Weather Planning for Indianapolis Wedding Venues

As the Indiana state capital, Indianapolis has considerable lodging infrastructure to accommodate wedding parties large and small. If you plan on having your wedding in one of the region's many outlying towns and destinations, search for the closest possible lodging accommodations to make things easy for your guests. Investing in rental cars or shuttle services for family and friends may also be a good idea. Most hotels near downtown will run over $100 per night, but prices tend to decrease the further things get from the city center. As far as the weddings themselves go, recent estimates indicate that the average Indianapolis wedding costs couples just over $15,000.

Many Indianapolis wedding parties make use of the city's outdoor attractions for their weddings, either during the ceremonies or in the days before and after the wedding itself. The city's many sporting events and outdoor features such as the Canal Walk and City Market are perfect for outdoor activities spent with family and friends - provided that the weather cooperates. Thankfully, Indianapolis is known for its relatively mild weather through the spring, fall and summer. For these seasons, light rain and humidity are often the biggest concerns. If you're planning a winter wedding, be prepared for snow. Though some years are milder than others, Indianapolis still averages an excess of two feet of snow annually. Consider booking a wedding venue in Indianapolis with both outdoor and indoor accommodations to handle any weather that comes your way.
