About The Prologue

The Prologue is a restored historic venue in downtown New Albany, originally built in 1855 as the city’s first riverfront commercial building.

The spaces can be reserved individually or together, and the courtyard can be tented. Wedding rentals include access from 10 a.m. to midnight, tables, chairs, black linens, floor-plan guidance, setup and strike of venue items, and a week-of rehearsal subject to scheduling. Full-service catering is required, with a preferred caterer list and a catering buyout option; The Prologue provides licensed bar service with package and cash-bar options. The venue has a prep kitchen, commercial ice maker, and countertops for food preparation and presentation. Parking is available at nearby public facilities, and valet service is an additional option. An Airbnb overlooking Jardin is listed as an extra rental option.
