    We love working at the IU Auditorium! The staff is wonderful, very easy to work with, and very experienced in executing important events. We are quickly and easily able to hash out little details with the IU Auditorium without having to add more to the couples' to-do list (table size questions, arranging delivery times, access times, etc.). The space is beautiful, and we know that the IU Auditorium makes things easy for fellow vendors so we can all focus on making events perfect for our couples!
