A Luxury Wedding Experience Under $10K? Here’s What It Looks Like at InterContinental Indianapolis
A smaller guest list can open the door to a different kind of wedding experience at InterContinental Indianapolis, one that feels both intimate and elevated.
Bigger isn’t always better, especially when it comes to weddings.
More couples are rethinking what their wedding day looks like, choosing guest lists that allow them to spend more of the night enjoying the people, the food, and the details they spent months planning.
Because with fewer guests, there is more time to enjoy the dinner, conversations, and little moments happening throughout the night.
That’s the idea behind Closer Moments by InterContinental Indianapolis, a wedding offering created for couples who want a more intimate guest list while still enjoying the feel of an InterContinental wedding experience.
With options for 25, 50, and 75 guests, Closer Moments allows couples to gather their favorite people while keeping their reception investment under $10,000.

- Sweetheart table
- Dance floor
- Tables and chairs
- House linens
- House china, glassware, and silverware
- Place settings
- Champagne linens
- Table votives
- Signage
- Dining utensils
- Napkins
With many of the reception essentials already included, couples can focus their attention on the details that make the space feel like their own, from florals and draping to additional table décor and bringing in their own wedding cake.
Less About Scaling Back, More About Choosing What Matters

An intimate wedding does not have to feel like a scaled-back version of the day you imagined.
Instead, many couples are choosing a wedding centered around the things they are most excited about: a beautiful meal, a room filled with their favorite people, and more time to actually enjoy it all.
With a more intimate guest count, couples have more time to take in the food, the atmosphere, and the people around them.
A Dining Experience Worth Slowing Down For

With fewer guests, dinner becomes more than just another part of the timeline.
Guests have the chance to sit down, enjoy the meal, and make dinner one of the moments they actually get to experience together.
The experience includes plated dining with synchronized service, giving the meal the same attention and care as the rest of the night.
Couples can choose from a variety of catering menu options, including salads like burrata with heirloom tomato, roasted golden and red beet, Caesar, house, wedge, and vegan options. Entrée selections include options such as wild mushroom risotto, roasted Amish chicken, pan-roasted pork shank, and vegetarian entrées.
The experience continues with dessert options like La Bête Noire, cheesecake with seasonal garnishes, carrot cake, seasonal fruit crostata, and opera cake.
Paired with a beer and wine package, Closer Moments brings together dinner, drinks, and the pieces that help the night feel complete.

A Different Way to Celebrate
Your wedding does not have to be measured by the size of your guest list.
For some couples, the perfect celebration means bringing everyone together. For others, it means a smaller gathering where they can spend the night surrounded by the people closest to them.
Closer Moments by InterContinental Indianapolis was created with this kind of wedding in mind: fewer guests, more time to enjoy the night, and a wedding day centered around the people sharing it with you.
