The BEST place to have your wedding reception!

Kruse Plaza is a beautiful and great venue for your wedding reception! One of the nicest spaces in Northeast Indiana, and located right off I-69! The value here is great, one of the most reasonable places around. The best part about it is the first class service. A special thanks to John, Kate and Haley for all of their hard work in advance and for going above and beyond on the night of our wedding to make sure everything ran smoothly. These people are the best and will make sure your night is as perfect as possible. Top notch service and venue!

Absolutely Amazing!

They say you can not put a price on marrying off your daughter. I would definitely give this venue a full 5 star review! Our experience was so amazing and it made our daughters big day the day she has always dreamed about. Kruse Plaza made this a top notch event for us and our loved ones. The food was amazing, the timeline created was spot on and made the event flawless and the staff that helped put this all together was there for us through the whole thing to make sure of that! They offered so many options to choose from with having three different sized reception halls so no matter if you have a large event or a small they can handle it. We have had so many compliments from family and friends on how nice the wedding was!!

Beautiful Venue

We are so happy with Kruse Plaza for my daughter’s wedding! Everything was perfect! From the bridal suite/groom’s area to the beautiful ceremony and reception, every single detail was covered. Kate and Patrick were amazing to work with prior to the big day, helping with any questions we had. Peter was great to work with the day of the wedding & reception. He went above & beyond with any issues we encountered. Our food was catered by Mission BBQ, and it was delicious! Our stunning flowers were from Ruby Moon. Anna Pierson was the photographer and captured so many priceless moments. Our DJ, through Alomar Entertainment, did a wonderful job too! The wedding was a year ago, and we still talk about how happy we are that we chose Kruse Plaza for this memorable day!

Loved Kruse Plaza

My daughter had her wedding and reception at Kruse Plaza in Auburn. The whole process from start to finish was honestly issue-free. Kate an Patrick were great to work with in the months leading up to the wedding. They helped with question we had, and they assisted us with the last final details. Our event coordinator for the evening was Peter, and he was amazing too! He helped in so many aspects that day/evening to make sure things ran smoothly, and they did. My daughter was married in the ballroom, which was so beautiful, and then our guests went to The Hangar for drinks and a charcuterie board while we did photos. Our buffet was done by Mission BBQ, and the cake was made by Courtney’s Bakery. We got so many compliments on the food and cake! The bridesmaids, bride, and moms enjoyed the beautiful bridal suite with the relaxing salt room, while the groom, groomsmen, and dads loved the guys loft with the pool table. If you are wavering, don’t think twice about this venue. They do anything and everything to help. My daughter’s dream wedding was a reality because of Kate, Patrick, and Peter…and the beautiful venue.

Venue, Staff, Service, Food = Incredible

Kruse Plaza was everything I dreamed of and more for my wedding day. After touring a number of places in and around Fort Wayne it was easy to see that The Kruse was an easy front runner. I appreciated their attention to detail, excellent service, and the friendly demeanor of the staff from my first visit. The entire facility was beautiful and I so appreciated the attention to detail and the fabulously crafted Bridal and Groom suites that made getting ready feel like going to the spa. The staff handled every detail and orchestrated the entire day wonderfully. Every minute of our wedding day was perfect and looking back my husband and I wouldn't change a thing.
