Be part of history

The Estuary offers something few Indianapolis event venues can: the character of a restored 1911 church, the convenience of hosting your entire celebration in one place, and four beautifully furnished overnight suites right on the property. Original stained glass, warm woodwork and distinctive architecture create a setting that feels deeply historic without sacrificing modern comfort.
