A Serenade on the Indianapolis Canal: Meet Old World Gondoliers

"For our 30th wedding anniversary, we dressed in our finest gothic wedding bride and groom attire, invited all our gothic friends, boarded everyone onto Halloween decorated boats at Old World Gondoliers, and renewed our vows – vows we each personally wrote – sharing our love story and cruising on the beautiful Indianapolis Canal."

-Teresa Graham

There's nothing more romantic than a soulful serenade and scenic boat ride on the shores of the Indianapolis canal. Old World Gondoliers provides a lovely evening or afternoon boat ride for you and your significant other to enjoy. Whether you've just gotten engaged, or it's your special night out, the staff at Old World Gondoliers is committed to transporting you into your own magical world on the Indianapolis riverfront. Read on to hear from owner Jeff Hutson himself! 

Please tell us a little more about your business.

"Come experience a journey into the past on our Venetian gondolas. Your gondolier will serenade you as you glide down the Indianapolis canal. Experience the beauty, mystique and charm of downtown Indianapolis with spectacular views. We are the number one proposal destination in the Midwest and many of our couples end up getting married at one of six wedding locations on the canal, or even on the gondolas themselves."

What sets you apart from others? Why should a bride choose you?

"Each wedding is unique and different catering to the needs of the celebrated couple. Many brides arrive at their wedding on a gondola or sail away at the end of their festivities around 11pm. Some couples even have gondola service for all of their guests during the entire evening festivities, at any one of the museums or event locations on the canal."

Do you have anything exciting that you would like to share?

"This is the 20th season of Old World Gondoliers and we are honored to spend the most precious moments of people's lives celebrating weddings, proposals, anniversaries and birthdays with our guests. We are in the business of creating special memories with our guests and we are available daily May-October."

What inspires you to be in the wedding industry?

"What inspires me to be in the wedding industry is bringing joy into the lives of all we touch and turning our couples' dreams into reality."

What do you love most about working with couples?

"We love working with couples to create a one-of-a-kind experience for their event, making the event enchanted and magical. Our gondoliers have the best voices in the industry and they choose the perfect gem to sing for each moment of any occasion."
