The Indiana Roof Ballroom, one of Indianapolis’ most iconic venues, just completed a $3.5 million renovation — its first major update in nearly 40 years. The refresh restored the venue’s historic charm while modernizing lighting, chandeliers, and finishes. Local outlets, including WTHR, covered the grand reveal, spotlighting how the Ballroom blends timeless architecture with fresh event-ready features.
As part of the unveiling, Markey’s, the Indianapolis-based event production company, incorporated our stained glass rosette backdrop into the event design. Suspended against the newly updated stage area, the rosette complemented the Ballroom’s Spanish Revival architecture and stunning new chandelier centerpiece. The effect was dramatic yet elegant, creating a layered focal point for guests and press in attendance.
Why does this capture our attention:
Versatility in historic spaces. The Ballroom’s architecture is irreplaceable, which means permanent set construction isn’t an option. Our lightweight panels delivered large-scale visual impact without altering or obscuring the building’s design.
Lighting synergy. With upgraded chandeliers and new lighting systems, the Ballroom was built to shine — and our rosette backdrop was designed to respond beautifully to washes, spotlights, and dynamic color changes.
Customizable for any event. Unlike static, built-out sets, our panels can be reprinted, rearranged, or adapted to different event themes — giving venues and event partners like Markey’s the flexibility to evolve looks quickly and cost-effectively.
The Indiana Roof Ballroom renovation is a reminder of how historic venues and modern design tools can work together to create unforgettable experiences. For this reveal, our stained glass rosette brought color, scale, and adaptability to the spotlight — and we’re excited to see how it inspires future event designs.
A big thank you to our friends at Markey's who trusted our product for such a beautiful reveal.
