The Canal in Indianapolis is a fantastic location. It’s a public space, so the best part is that it’s free to use!
Since it’s a public area, decorations, tables, and chairs are not allowed. However, the spot I recommend for elopements already has benches and concrete seating for your guests.
This specific spot also features a lovely water feature, making it a perfect backdrop for pictures.
“The spot she chose on the canal was perfect! Open but still intimate”
You can choose from many other spots on the canal in front of waterfalls or bridges. Consider taking a ride or getting married on the gondola. (Beautiful boat service they offer, as an additional service with their fees) Not only is it a beautiful Gondola, but they sing! Serenade in Venice, anyone? Not technically, but don’t tell your imagination that. Please check their website for more information. Mention you already have an officiant in mind. Gondola rides on the canal
Best of all, you are already in downtown INDY! Many options include horse carriage rides, our famous MASS Ave., and Fountain Square. There are so many more unique places to visit. Celebrate your marriage out on the town!
