Tucked away off 38th street in the Newfields area, Woodstock Club is a private members’ owner country club and wedding venue in Indianapolis. Originally established in 1891 and later founded in 1915, the historic club has been the cornerstone of social life and athletics for over a century. Throughout its storied history, Woodstock Club has hosted prominent figures and became the biennial home of the Western Open, and later the U.S. Clay Court Championships in 1969. Today, the family-centered club focuses on providing its members with a backdrop for celebrating milestone occasions, such as weddings.
A Woodstock Club Wedding Provides an Atmosphere of Grandeur
The historic club exudes an atmosphere befitting a lavish celebration. Wedding receptions at Woodstock Club unfold in the venue’s grand ballroom. Here, arched doorways, grand chandeliers, and paneled walls offer an atmosphere of intimacy throughout your event. At the start of the evening, the wall of windows surrounding the space allows natural light to filter in, adding a glow of warmth to your dining experience. As the sun begins to set, the entertainment of your choice will get the party started. Guests will take to the hardwood dance floor, dancing the night away in your honor, creating celebrated memories that you will recall for years to come.

Is working with a wedding planner required for a Woodstock Club wedding?
It has become increasingly common for Indianapolis wedding venues to require that couples planning an event work with a knowledgeable wedding planner. The Woodstock Club does not explicitly require couples to hire a wedding planner; however, it is highly recommended. The wedding featured here came together through the couple’s vision, brought forth by Emily & Amber; a wedding planning team that serves DFW, Chicago, and Indianapolis. After working with this incredible team at Woodstock Club, I can attest to the level of knowledge and high standard of professionalism they bring to their couples’ weddings.
Spaces available at Woodstock Club for your wedding reception
The Woodstock wedding venue is centrally located in the club’s ballroom. This grand space is ideal for hosting a visionary wedding day imbued with creative design and decor that best suits your wedding day vision. Inside the club, you will also find two smaller private rooms, which may be accessed as breakout spaces for your event, depending on your needs. Outdoor wedding reception options at the Woodstock Club include The Woodstock Room and The Riverroom. These spaces are smaller in size and provide a more relaxed atmosphere, allowing you the flexibility to host your cocktail hour outdoors before heading inside for an evening of dining and dancing as newlyweds, joined by the friends and family you cherish the most.
Curating the menu for your wedding at the Woodstock Club
One of the many benefits of planning your wedding at Woodstock Club is that they provide their couples with an all-inclusive wedding day experience on site, including catering. Menu selections, bar packages, and signature cocktails are all offered by the culinary team at Woodstock Club. You’ll meet with the catering director, Laura Bonesteel, to help you navigate selections that are suited to your preferences. All in all, adding a personally tailored food and beverage experience to your wedding celebration.
