Question

When and where is the wedding?

Answer

Our wedding will take place on June 28, 2025, at Newfields (The Indianapolis Museum of Art), located at 4000 N Michigan Rd, Indianapolis, IN 46208. The ceremony will begin at 4:30pm, on Lilly Terrace, surrounded by the Newfields gardens. Cocktails, dinner, and dancing will follow inside the museum. Please allow 20-25 minutes to walk from the parking lot or garage to Lilly Terrace, or take the complimentary golf cart valet to the ceremony.
