Our Story
Kyle & Damien met on a now defunct dating app called Howlr in November 2021. They officially began dating in December 2021, and moved in together about 6 months later. While they did separate for a bit, the time apart made both of them realize just how much they care for each other and the impact both have made on each other's lives. Now, two apartments and a recent home purchase later, they are both ready to begin the next chapter in their lives!Kyle & Damien both work in the Hospitality industry and after work enjoy playing video games and board games (especially Monopoly.) During days off, they enjoy mall walking/window shopping, going to the movies, and going on weekend getaway trips around Indiana and surrounding states. When time and the season allows, they also enjoy going to conventions together, watching Pacers games, and going to waterparks!

Our wedding will take place at the fabulous Bottleworks Hotel in the revitalized Bottleworks District of downtown Indianapolis. Rated the 3rd best boutique hotel in the entire USA by USA Today, and housed in the former Coca-Cola Bottling Factory, this MICHELIN Key awarded hotel carries over many of the 1920s art-deco design and aesthetic choices that made the original structure famous and awe-inspiring, but still offers luxury features and amenities that you would expect from a modern 4-star boutique hotel.
Lodging
For Out-Of-State Attendees, we are covering your hotel stay at the nearby Hotel Indy, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel by Marriott. Built in 1969, this 90-room boutique property housed in the former State Life Insurance Co. building was renovated and transformed into a hotel in 2021, leaving many of the buildings original and unique 1960s Brutalist architecture vibes intact. The property pays many nods and tributes to the city of Indianapolis and the Indy 500, and features an on-site restaurant and roof-top cocktail lounge that overlooks portions of downtown Indianapolis. This property is located less than one mile from the Bottleworks Hotel, where our wedding is being held.If you are needing a room for our wedding at Hotel Indy, please reach out to us directly and we will get everything setup for you!
Alternatively, you can book a room at The Bottleworks Hotel where our wedding is being held if you would prefer. Do keep in mind we will be unable to cover the cost of your room if you choose to book at Bottleworks. You can access our discounted booking link for the Bottleworks Hotel HERE!
