State House Rotunda
The main level of the State House is used by many state agencies and outside organizations for various programs. During the legislative session, many groups schedule State House space for gatherings in which their members can meet with legislators. At other times, the facilities are used for awards ceremonies, simple receptions, rallies, and displays.
The Rotunda's soaring architecture, stained glass dome, and ornate columns and statues also make
it a popular location for weddings, and is generally booked over a year in advance. The facility is featured at bridal shows, in local magazines, and at photography studios. The Rotunda will comfortably accommodate 170 guests.
Directly north of the Rotunda is the North Atrium. Doric in style, the North Atrium boasts marble floors and brass chandeliers surrounded by an ornate balcony. Several hundred people can be accommodated in the North Atrium.
All events scheduled at the State House between 5 p.m. and 8 a.m. and on weekends and legal holidays are subject to a fee. The fee includes the use of the State House area and some equipment for your event. Food and beverages are permitted in the State House Rotunda and North Atrium if provided by an caterer. The State contracts with the C.A.F.E. Group for Indiana Government Center cafeteria operations. However, catering services provided by any licensed, IDOA-approved caterer are welcome. The Indiana State House is situated near many local restaurants and other reception venues.
