Wedding Receptions

Indianapolis’ Best Wedding Reception Venue

The Crane Bay Event Center is an amazing location for wedding receptions. We have a complimentary in-house draping system that allows our clients the ability to divide the venue into separate areas for the cocktail reception, dinner, and dancing revealing each space along the way. The feedback that we receive from our brides, grooms and their families is how impressed they were with how they were able to sit back, relax and enjoy the day while we make sure everything else is taken care of. Plus there is a lot that is included with the venue including furniture, lighting and an in-house sound system that travels through the entire building. The convenience of these inclusions paired with the personalized “one stop shop” service allows for a planning to completion process that is easy for our clients.

You focus on your special day, we’ll focus on the food, beverage, layout, timeline, set-up, service and AV!

The Food Was Superb!!


I just wanted to thank everyone that helped make Annie and Joe’s wedding/reception such a happy, fun event. We and the bride and groom cannot stop talking about it… The staff at Crane Bay was fantastic, so helpful, professional, friendly, accommodating, just made us feel like we were the only ones to have a reception there. The set up was better than I imagined. The food was superb!! We could not be happier with everything. Thanks again for a great time.

It was decorated absolutely beautifully and literally EVERY single person on staff at Crane Bay was absolutely amazing!!! Thank you so much for not only ensuring Kevin and I were happy but for also taking such amazing care of my parents.

Phenomenal from Start to Finish


Amy Keemer was phenomenal to work with from start to finish! When we walked in to tour for our wedding, we knew this was the place. The atmosphere is so fun with the lighted columns. The food was delicious and our guests loved that we did a “non traditional” sit down meal. We opted for sliders and mac n’ cheese, our favorite foods! We were able to drop off our decor early in the week and pick up the Monday after our wedding so we didn’t feel rushed to pick up. The wait staff was wonderful and really took care of my husband and I and our parent tables! I highly recommend The Crane Bay for anyone looking to host an event!
