Lucas Event Center

I'm planning a graduation party for my twins who graduate high school next year & since I'm wanting to have the party on a specific date..6/16/2018 (my twins 18th bday) I figured I needed to be proactive & get the party venue booked now & I'm so glad I came across Lucas Event Center!!!!Having called MANY other venues before I found Lucas Event Center it was REALLY FRUSTRATING how every single venue that I called & even went to look at in person would NOT budge on the fee at all..NO negotiation..like really!!! Do these venues not know negotiation equals great customer service!!! BUT the owner(Gloria) of Lucas Event Center must know this since she was totally open to negotiation because yes, I want my kids to have an awesome & of course bad-a$$ graduation party BUT I am on a budget & senior year is costly so having Gloria be open to negotiating on the cost is 5+++++++++Stars in my book all day, every day!!!Since sharing is caring :) read below for ALL the reasons why Lucas Event Center is the venue that you'll want to use for your special event or to even use as a work training space....-Budget Friendly: Open to negotiating on the price & working w/ your budget..THANK YOU Lucas Event Center!!-The venue is very pretty w/ a built in stone bar, wood flooring, & has a built in projector on the ceiling to use for a slideshow or presentation, built in colorful party lights (sorry don't know the correct names of those darn pretty lights), has a built in stage for the DJ, you can also have another stage built if needed. -When you rent the venue this does include tables, chairs, & clean up services after your event (awesome I know) & you have the option of renting the venue only & you doing your own decor, setup, etc but if you don't want to do your own decor, setup, etc Lucas Event Center also does decor..table linens, chair covers, balloon arches, fabric draping on the ceiling & on walls, etc so together w/ Gloria the owner you decide on what your vision is for your event & she will execute it for you..again all budget friendly because you have the option of deciding on what you can do & what you want the venue to do.-Lucas Event Center has 2 spaces you can rent depending on your event size..a smaller room that fits up to 100 people or the bigger space that fits up to 350 OR both spaces can be combined & rented out to have a whole lotttttttttttt of space :), which is what I decided to do even though my party size is for 125 people (at least for now it is ;) -The other event services offered by Lucas Event Center are photography, cakes, balloon arches, balloon columns, etc.....I hope this info is helpful to you the next time you're needing to plan an event because believe me I know the stress of looking for a venue that is nice & pretty but also doesn't cost a whole arm, leg, & even some toes ;)!! So to sum it up I 100%%%%%% recommend Lucas Event Center & can't wait to party like a rockstar come 6/16/2018! -Rebecca out

This is one of the best event centers in town, I love it here the have a nice place and also have some cool attachments to the place

Having our wedding at the Lucus Event Center was one of the best decisions we made. They believe in making their customers happy. I will recommend this venue for whatever. Plenty of space for big or small parties, they supply the decor and catering if needed. Lots of parking.

I attended a wedding here and it was really nice so we are interested in looking into it for our wedding next summer. The issue is that I'm worried about our wedding being cancelled like this wedding (link below) because Lucas Event Center has received negative news recently for not actually being zoned to hold events - it's in a residential area and neighbors are complaining. I worry about whether it will be available long term so I am hesitant to make any specific plans. Does any have any insight into this?Article: https://www.indystar.com/story/news/fox59/2018/07/26/carmel-wedding-wrecked-venues-zoning-status-neighbor-complaints/841055002/https://www.ibj.com/articles/65934-lucases-plan-to-keep-hosting-parties-despite-carmel-zoning-decision

DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS. They promised me a date for an event, but they did not show up at the agreed upon time to sign the contract. We arranged another time to sign the contract, and when I sent a message to confirm the meeting, I was told that they booked an event with someone else on the day I requested. They are not to be trusted and they are completely unprofessional.
