Carly and Alex’s wedding day at Mill Top Banquet and Event Center was absolutely perfect.
Mill Top is a restored historic building with an industrial chic vibe located in downtown Noblesville, Indiana. The space beautifully blends rustic brick walls, exposed wood beams, iron finishes, and modern industrial details, making it sophisticated yet approachable. The venue stands out for its versatile multi-level layout and high-end amenities that make the entire wedding day feel seamless. Mill Top is known for its award-winning coordination team, 5-star amenities, and full-service experience. It’s à la carte, so you can customize packages to fit your needs (catering, bar, decor, etc.) The size of the venue allows for more than one wedding to take place on any given day, but for Carly and Alex, we had the whole building to ourselves.
I started in the bridal suite on the second floor with hair, makeup, and the details while Brian went downstairs to one of the first-floor man caves to cover some of the groom getting ready and get started on the groomsmen photos. The man caves are seriously so fun! There are a few of these relaxed spaces to choose from where the guys can hang out, play games, and get ready in comfort while the girls are in hair and make-up.
The groom’s mom brought Carly the cutest little wedding mice as a gift.
The couple chose to wait to see each other until the aisle, but did have a first touch and prayer with their wedding party before the ceremony. Milltop doesn’t have an outdoor ceremony space, but Seminary Park is just a 5-minute walk from the venue.
The moment Alex and Carly saw each other for the first time was nothing short of magical, and the blusher on Carly’s veil only added to it.
During the ceremony, the couple chose to have worship music played, followed by communion. The ceremony was beautiful, and more than a few happy tears were shed by Carly and Alex, their loved ones, and even this photographer.
We always love a dip at the end of the aisle!
After the ceremony, we completed the family formal list and wedding party photos. Because the couple didn’t have a first look, this was our first opportunity to capture the couple’s photos.
Cocktail hour was held on the venue’s first floor, while the reception was held in the Great Room on the third floor. The wedding party made their entrances, and it was time for dinner, buffet style, and delicious, served by Jacqui’s Gourmet Catering.
Right after dinner, we went up to the rooftop for sunset photos.
Carly and Alex wanted photos with all of their guests, so we called everyone up, table by table, for quick group shots before the speeches started. It was such a fast and fun way to include everyone!
The couple had an espresso bar to help keep guests caffeinated. They even had personalized coffee cups #loveyoumoore411
It was time for speeches by the two matrons of honor and best men. The bride’s sister and the groom’s brother as well as each of their childhood best friends.
The couple’s first dance was to Memory Lane by Old Dominion. Parent dances were shared by the bride, who danced with her dad and her stepdad, as well as the groom and his mom.
The Blue Water Kings started the party with an anniversary dance, a game where all the married couples share a dance until the band calls out how long they have been married. The last couple standing wins!
Our photo booth was enjoyed by all.
Carly and Alex are amazing humans surrounded by absolutely lovely family and friends, and it was such an honor to document their wedding day. We wish them a lifetime of love and adventure!
