Why Minnetrista?

We’re convenient.

It’s easy to find us. We are located just minutes from accommodations for your out-of-town guests in the heart of Muncie, Indiana, along the banks of the White River. Parking is always free and plentiful, so no one has to wander around looking for a spot!

We make wedding planning easier.

We include all the venue essentials in our packages and we’ll take care of all the not-so-fun stuff like setting up tables, chairs and linens and cleaning up at the end of the night. This means you get to focus on the fun stuff like getting ready with your favorite people and taking photos across our 40-acre property full of beautiful gardens and historic homes. Schedule a tour and see it for yourself!

Our Chef is award-winning, literally!

You can have your reception catered by our award-winning Certified Executive Chef and professional catering team. Or if that’s not your style, you can choose an outside caterer we have thoroughly vetted for you. Contact us for more information.

We go above and beyond for our clients.

Our Hospitality team does more. We hand-serve you before releasing your guests so that you actually have time to eat. We jump in and help coordinate your big moments so no one misses them. We call a friend to bring a tool we need to take something apart for you. We’ll give you advice and help you with your seating chart, because we know you’re overwhelmed just thinking about it.

We give you more experiences.

Each couple receives a complimentary one-year Explorer Membership, which includes free admission to exhibits, Oakhurst Experience and Bob Ross Experience, as well as discounts on tickets to community events and programs. For a full list of Minnetrista Memberships and benefits, visit https://www.minnetrista.net/membership.

Best venue in Muncie

Our wedding at Minnetrista was more than we could have ever dreamed of! Kacie was so easy and fun to work with and helped nail down all of the details. The room was gorgeous, and everyone was so helpful. I highly recommend booking Minnetrista for your wedding!

Absolutely wonderful

From walking around deciding if this was the perfect place for us to our big day this place did not disappoint! Everyone was so nice and helpful, and even on our big day when we forgot a few things they were there to save the day!
