About this venue
Ritz Charles was established over 30 years ago with a vision of a high-quality venue focusing on social gatherings, fundraisers, corporate meetings, and of course, weddings. The beautiful 15,000 square foot facility on Meridian Street was the catalyst to additional, unique venues and offsite catering. Over the years, Ritz Charles has acquired a renowned culinary staff, professional servers, dedicated managers, and a talented Design Team. With 7+ unique venues, Ritz Charles Catering is one of the largest caterers in Indianapolis. Our experience assures you the best event possible.

The team at Ritz Charles was so easy to work with! Communication was great throughout the entire wedding planning process. Everything was top notch - the venue was clean and well-maintained, and there were plenty of staff working our event to ensure everything went smoothly. Their ceremony coordinator and reception coordinator were incredibly helpful, making sure I didn't have to worry about a thing on the day of our wedding. I would highly recommend Ritz Charles to any couple looking for a beautiful, stress-free wedding venue.
Previous bride
The Ritz Charles was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was organized and effective, making the planning process a breeze. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, and all of our guests raved about the incredible food. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our day was special and stress-free. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we highly recommend the Ritz Charles to any couple looking for a stunning wedding venue with top-notch service.
Made Planning My Wedding East
We had such a positive experience using the Ritz Charles as our reception venue! They coordinated everything regarding the set up of the reception, food, and cake which was a huge weight off of wedding planning. It was absolutely worth the money. Our event coordinator Emily Y was absolutely amazing and a pleasure to work with too. Our reception was so beautiful and I could not have been happier with the whole experience. If you are looking for a location for your wedding and/or reception, I highly recommend!
Great Experience
My wedding coordinator Maddie was amazing and made sure I knew everything I needed to know for the day. The space was also beautiful and functional. It’s expensive, but I would choose them again!
