food and service. We will gladly offer a custom menu consultation upon request.
Catering Contr act
A signed copy of the Catering Contract is required and must be returned to the event coordinator ten business days
prior to your event. A deposit of 50 percent of the estimated total is required for all social events.

reimbursed 75 percent of the pre-payment. Any cancellation between nine days and four days prior to the event
will be reimbursed 25 percent of the pre-payment. Cancellation within three days of an event will forfeit the total

Frequently Asked Questions
For Events at Minnetrista
How late can our event go?
All events must end by 11 p.m. This allows you and
your guests one hour to clean up and leave Minnetrista
by midnight.
For how long do we get the space?
The rental of space for ceremonies is three hours. All
other prices are quoted for six hours of use or until
11p.m., whichever comes first. The Orchard Court
Yard and Oakhurst Gardens are available after 5:30
p.m. until 11 p.m.
Are other guests allowed in the gardens
while we’re having our event?
All spaces, except for the indoor meeting rooms,
are open to the public during Minnetrista’s regular
business hours (8 a.m.–5:30 p.m.). If you are hosting
a wedding and plan to start your pictures prior to
5:30 p.m., you will need to share the gardens with all
Minnetrista visitors.
Do you require a deposit?
Two deposits are required to hold your event at
Minnetrista. The first deposit holds the space and is
due with the signed contract. The amount required
is 50% of the total rental fee and is non-refundable.
The second deposit is a damage deposit and is due no
later than ten days prior to the event. This deposit is a
flat fee of $250 and will be refunded in approximately
two weeks following the event, provided there are no
damages to the property.
When can we set up for our event?
Indoor spaces need to be set up on the day of the
event. Outdoor events should also be set up on the
day of your event. However, tents will be set up the
day before. If you choose to decorate in the tent earlier
than the day of your event, we are not responsible for
damaged or missing decorations.
Can we get dressed for our wedding inside
Minnetrista Cultural Center?
Weddings in Oakhurst Gardens do include the use of
the Carriage House, which has two bathrooms and a
large activity room that can be used for getting ready.
Alternative plans for dressing need to be made if your
wedding is scheduled to take place in any other part of
the campus. Our public facilities will remain available
for all guests.
Can we bring in our own food?
All events at Minnetrista need to be catered from an
approved caterer. A list of those caterers is included in
this information packet.
Can we bring in our own cake?
Cakes do not have to be from an approved bakery.
Cakes can be brought in from family members or a
bakery. Our staff will not set up or move wedding
cakes. Please ask if you need advice on where to find a
great cake! If you choose Minnetrista Catering, there
is a $1.25 cake cutting fee for the cutting and serving of
your cake.
minnetrista.net/PlanYourEvent
Are candles allowed?
We do allow candles that are completely enclosed in a
container including the wick, flame, and bottom of the
candle. Containers need to be large enough to contain
the candle and melting wax when it is lit. Taper candles
are NOT allowed.
Are there any decorations you do not allow?
We do not allow birdseed, rice, fake flowers, or
sparklers anywhere on our facility. Bubbles are allowed
only when wedding ceremonies and receptions are
outside. If any part of your event is held indoors,
bubbles are not allowed.
We’ve attended events at Minnetrista where
there are candles in the gardens, do you do
that for weddings and is there a fee?
Yes! We do offer luminaries for garden weddings
held after dusk. We have about 70 candles with
candleholders that we can arrange along the edge of the
Formal Garden and paths. We also have lights on the
arbor in Oakhurst from May to the end of December.
Are there bathroom facilities for
outdoor events?
Yes, we have two unisex restrooms available in
Oakhurst Gardens. We also have one men’s and one
women’s restroom available in the Wishing Well
Garden and Orchard Court Yards. Port-A-Lets and
Port-A-Sinks are available to rent for outdoor events.
Please ask the Sales and Events Coordinator when
finalizing the details of your event about renting them.
What happens if it rains?
We advise that all outdoor events have a back-up
plan in the event of rain. We do not refund money on
events cancelled due to rain, thunderstorms, hail or
lightening.
If I have my wedding ceremony at Minnetrista,
can we have a rehearsal? Is there an extra
fee for it?
If you are holding your wedding ceremony at
Minnetrista, we do offer you use of the space the
night before, based on availability, for no extra charge.
Rehearsals may last up to two hours and must end
prior to 7 p.m.
Does Minnetrista require security?
Minnetrista requires security for ALL events that
serve alcohol and for all events that extend beyond
or occur after business hours. The current rate is
$20 per hour and subject to change. We work with a
contracted Muncie police officer and require that you
use him.
We hope this information helps you in your planning!
Thank you for considering Minnetrista for your
upcoming event.
