In your opinion, what makes Neidhammer unique? The culture. It’s unique, and it comes from the ownership down. We’re different than other venues and coffee shops. It’s more about family and community, and I feel like that’s how things should be! This is definitely my second home!
What is the best piece of advice you have for brides-to-be? Enjoy your day and don’t sweat the small stuff! Things will happen, but at the end of the day you’ll be married!
John Hobelman
General Manager
John has been with Neidhammer Indianapolis wedding and event venue since January 2017, he even worked at the opening event the very first night.
In your opinion, what makes Neidhammer unique? We are not a “bridal mill.” So many of our brides have told us that we feel like family. To this day, when one of my brides that I’ve worked with goes down the aisle, I cry. That care and depth of planning sets Neidhammer apart from other venues.
What is the best piece of advice you have for brides-to-be? Two things: 1.) Before you book your first vendor, know your “Oh HECK No” budget! 2.) Book your venue, your photographer, and your DJ in that order. Book them all within the first 90 days. Everything after that is cake!
