Venues allowing outside food??

HippieMommy

Does anyone know of venues that allow outside food?  My future brother-in-law is the executive chef at a well-known hotel in downtown Indy and is making our food.  However, we need to find a venue that will allow us to bring it in.  Any suggestions?
Thanks!

We are looking @ the Harrison Center for the Arts on N Delaware. They allow outside catering. The event planner there was about to have a baby but she said someone would be checking her messages.

Also, the Community Life Center allows outside catering but they were out of our budget for the site rental.

We are having our wedding and reception at Avon Gardens. They let you bring your own Catering. They also let you bring your own bartendar as long as you provide insurance which we got through our homeowners insurance.

We booked Community Life Center,  the rental is a bit pricey we are getting married in the "off season" so it was a little less than their normal price.  Although it was a lot more expensive to rent the facility, it was still cheaper to be able to use the caterer we wanted, rather than have to use an in house caterer at another location.  We ended up saving about $3000 when comparing the cost of CLC plus our chosen caterer, rather than using The Hawthorns and their in house catering which, based on our research seemed like it would be the least expensive yet nice location.  CLC is beautiful and has a lot of 'extras' that area already built in to the price!

We are using the Delaware Township Community Center in Fishers.  They allow outside food and alcohol.  They are also very reasonably priced. If you are a Delaware Township resident it is $500 and $600 for a non-resident.  There is a $400 refundable damage deposit if you want to have alcohol.  However, from everyone that I have talked to they have all received the deposit back.  It is a gorgeous facility and just a little over a year old.

trkrunner -- Just wondering how you like the Community Center... we are thinking of having our reception there and would love to hear if you have any thoughts of what you liked/didn't like.
