Things To Do

Indiana State Museum

Newfields

We saw a super fun interactive Monet exhibit here in 2022. If you're an art lover, check out what exhibits are available! What's even more fun is they have winter lights on display for all to see! If you love art and you love twinkling lights, Newfield's is a must see!

Monument Circle

Over the winter holiday season they have a tree lighting ceremony. While you might miss it because it will have happened by the time our wedding rolls around, you should still check out the pretty Christmas lights!

Hamilton Town Center

Want to go shopping? Need some retail therapy? Maybe need an emergency change of clothes? We love Hamilton Town Center! Plus, it's only 15 minutes from the venue!

CM Korean Fried Chicken

Korean fried chicken is the best fried chicken, and CM Fried chicken is the BEST! Never had Korean fried chicken? Try it!

MOTW Coffee and Pastries

We frequent this coffee shop. They know Dee's face and that he always needs oat milk! They have locations in Fishers, Indianapolis, and Castleton, IN. The Carmel location is just our favorite!

RIVET Coffee Bar and Roastery

We love Rivet! They have the best food and coffee around! You MUST try the blueberry mascarpone waffle! It is TO DIEA FOR! Best part...it's only 15 minutes from our venue!

Carmel Christkindlmarkt

Dee is absolutely obsessed with the Kindl Market! Who can blame him? It's growing every year, and every year we never miss it! It's free entry with scrumptious food, hot drinks, live entertainment, and ice skating! It's a definite thing to add to the bucket list!

Indianapolis Zoo

Love the zoo? Love Christmas? The Indianapolis Zoo does Christmas at the Zoo every year! With animal encounters, Santa's Village, and wonderful Christmas lights, you won't want to miss it!
