Hello, I’m Emily Inman. I was a very obsessive, detail-oriented bride. Here’s what I learned about Community Life Center, my ceremony & reception venue that provided bar, linens, lighting, and more. PROS: indoor and outdoor ceremony site with separate reception site, 9AM-11PM rental included, can decide if indoor or outdoor the day of, great execution of services on the day of the wedding CONS: confusing rhetoric bouncing between “we’re only a venue rental” and taking over tasks, great difficulty to communicate with if can not meet in person or communication styles differ, guest may be uncomfortable with the cemetery or the venue being owned by a funeral company. Tips to Make Your Life Easier: 1. Get everything in writing 2. Have as many meetings as possible and prep for them creating lists of topics/questions The Verdict: The Community Life Center gets a 3.5 for being a difficult to deal with vendor, the most stressful and flip-floppy of my vendors, and for pulling it together to get a great result on the day of the wedding. Unfortunately it is the only venue rental around Indy under $5,000 that can hold 150+ people and have the 3 needed sites. I DO NOT recommend this venue! If you are not the rare obsessive, compulsive planner, detail-oriented person willing to 1. meet in person anytime you need/want to talk or ask a question 2. spend countless hour talking to/thinking about how to talk to an easily stressed/ overwhelmed person 3. make long documents with every wedding detail on, then you are unprepared to behave in a way that will it easy to deal the Community Life Center! Save yourself the stress and pay more at another venue to save your sanity. Please think about if you can handle the stress before you consider this venue. I hope this helps! I wish you the best of luck brides- and grooms-to-be, may planning not be stressful!

My family has held two events here. Both went off without a hitch. They have a beautiful area for parties and such. Id give it another star but there is a man that works there that has rubbed me the wrong way when arranging my late grandfathers funeral. He was such a cold, uncompassionate, and rude individual.

Had a wedding back in 2012 where DJ King set it off for me and my wife. This venue was perfect for a party/wedding celebration of any kind. Had an outdoor wedding and the staff here was very accomodating. Family still talks about our wedding being one of the funnest the family has had in a long time.

Though it is a nice place and it is beautiful inside, I really dont think one would have a wedding there. To me it would be like having your wedding then planning your funeral. Its more of a funeral place than anything. I could see someones funeral but not a wedding.

Went to a reception here last night and it was amazing. The courtyard was beautiful, lots of parking, and the chandelier makes for great pictures. Spacious lobby and ballroom, and rooms of the second floor for small meetings or dressing rooms.

Gorgeous accommodating facility. Perfect courtyard. Easy access to dining area and servers did their job without interrupting the wedding event. Everything was excellent.
