Planning a wedding should feel like freedom, not limitations—and that’s exactly why couples across Indiana are searching for an open vendor wedding venue in Carmel. At BASH, we believe your celebration should reflect your unique story, not someone else’s package. That’s why we proudly offer an open vendor policy: so you can bring in the team you trust to make your day unforgettable.
What is an Open Vendor Policy?
An open vendor policy means you are not required to select from a limited or exclusive list of vendors. Unlike all-inclusive venues or those with restrictive preferred lists, BASH allows you to choose the professionals that best align with your taste, culture, and budget.
Here’s what you can typically customize:
-
Caterer (from plated dinners to food trucks)
-
Florist or floral designer
-
Photographer or videographer
-
Wedding planner or coordinator
-
DJ or live band
-
Hair and makeup team
-
Cultural or religious specialists
This policy gives you the flexibility to design a wedding that’s truly your own.
Why Couples Love This Flexibility
The biggest perk? Control. Whether you’re planning a high-end celebration or keeping things intimate and personal, having vendor freedom means your wedding feels more like you.
It’s also a major benefit for multicultural weddings. Couples can bring in vendors who understand their traditions, religious customs, or specific culinary needs without having to jump through hoops or pay additional fees.

BASH’s Vendor Policy Explained
At BASH, our open vendor policy is designed to support you, not limit you. Here’s what that means in practice:
-
All licensed and insured vendors are welcome
-
Food trucks and specialty bars are allowed
-
Couples may bring their own alcohol with a licensed bartender
-
You can hire any caterer, planner, DJ, or florist you like
We do require vendors to provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI), and we ask that they follow our venue’s setup and breakdown guidelines to ensure a smooth event day.
