Testimonials
“Indiana Trust Wealth Management hosted an upscale reception with distinction in the Minnetrista Hackley Gallery. Minnetrista Catering prepared one of the finest selections of food items we've had at a reception of this caliber. Champagne was scheduled to be poured, to coincide with a special toast by our CEO, with the timing being perfectly executed by the bar and wait staff. Kacie, our event coordinator, showed great attention to detail. In addition, table arrangements were specifically prescribed via AllSeated.com, which provides an interactive, 3D overview of the space, to give you a feel for the layout as you try various options. Highly recommend this venue and plan to use again. It truly is a wonderful ‘gathering place.’”
