Amenities

The Kruse Plaza was a true pleasure to work with! Their staff is absolutely phenomenal each and every time we went to visit from meetings, tastings, and other events. We booked with 11 months until our big day and they were very informative and quick to respond to any questions. They helped walk us through our different options or if needed, alternative options. On our wedding day it was truly perfect, besides the weather. The in house catering was amazing! I would definitely recommend the lemon rosemary chicken! Thank you to the Kruse staff for taking a part in our perfect day and a big thank you to Annaliese and Presley!

We were absolutely blown away by all the accommodations and services that were provided. Any ideas or concerns we had we had were dealt with or accommodated to. Our ceremony had to be moved inside due to weather and it was even more beautiful than we could have ever imagined!!! Annaliese was our day of coordinator and she was just amazing. From keeping everything flowing and on track, to helping get everything cleaned up and loaded. All the staff was incredible and kind from the tour to the day of. There is also so many amazing places (indoors and outdoors) on site for pictures! I couldn’t have imagined a better venue to start our marriage!!!! We wish we could go back and do it all over again! We cannot recommend the Kruse Plaza enough.

The Kruse Plaza location was great for our Welcome Party because of its proximity to the Early V8 Ford Foundation & Museum, the headquarters for our 2024 Central National Meet. The staff we worked with, both Tim and Analiese, and the caterer, Jackie Henderson, could not have been more helpful. The Hangar looked fabulous for our evening and everyone raved about the food. Thanks for all your support!

Barbara K

I had the greatest experience with this venue. We worked specifically with Annaliese Kruse, and she was incredible!! Super responsive, answered my MANY questions, very kind and considerate. The day of the wedding was so incredibly smooth because of her and all her help. We used their caterer, and food was amazing. The entire staff made us feel so special and taken care of. I would highly recommend for your wedding day!

Alivia J

Our day was PERFECT all thanks to the amazing staff at Kruse Plaza. From the beginning, everyone was so helpful and easy to work with. The event planners and day of coordinators helped bring my vision to life. They helped me out so much and I appreciated every single person who helped me from day one, and all of those who were there the day of to make my dream wedding come true. The catering crew at Kruse was also amazing! They were able to accommodate for our guests with severe allergies and I truly felt like they listened to me about what I needed, You will not regret booking this venue!

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 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!

My Husband and I got married at Kruse Plaza in July 2022 and I truly cannot say enough good things about Kruse Plaza! Every expectation was beyond exceeded. There are truly no other venues in the Fort Wayne area that could have met our needs like Kruse. Everyone we encountered was super friendly, experienced, and professional. Kate, Spencer, and Michael were absolutely on it, and eliminated so much stress for us as we planned our special day. I would recommend Kruse to absolutely anyone.
