I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding in Spring 2019 at Cornerstone Center for the Arts. The venue is absolutely breathtaking, with all the gorgeous architecture and natural light. The bride and groom experienced a bit of rain after their church wedding ceremony, so we headed over to Cornerstone and they accommodated the change in plans and were so happy to allow us to use one of the ballet studios to finish up their couples portraits before starting the reception.The couple had a large number of guests, yet the ballroom never felt crowded. Their dance floor was the perfect size to accommodate all the wonderful, fun guests they had invited to celebrate their wedding, and the staff was amazing to work with at Cornerstone and ensure the couple had the best time.Id highly recommend couples looking to get married in Muncie to consider Cornerstone for its rich history and beautiful architecture. Its definitely a dream for a photographer to photograph, too, with so many incredible options inside and out!
Cornoerstone is a wonderful building Nd organization. The organization allows many to explore the worlds of different arts.
We love coming here for Scarevania. It is always a blast. The building is beautiful! I do not know how they manage to cram so much of the haunt in upstairs but it is impressive. I hope they continue doing holiday haunts throughout the year as well. I definitely appreciate Cornerstone for hosting this event. While the partially outdoors haunt was great, it is really nice to get out of the weather.
Theres a lot nice about the venue, and they have good activities there. However, I have to give a low rating because they refused to honor a published price to rent a room. Its totally unethical--possibly illegal, but I dont have the time or gumption to get the law involved. Im more of a warn people on Google Maps kind of consumer. Buyer beware!
We held our wedding reception at Cornerstone Center for the Arts in Summer 2019. The space is absolutely beautiful! Our reception ran incredibly smoothly and the staff is extremely helpful. They were always willing to answer and questions we had (and we had a lot!), cater to our wishes, and accommodate our requests. We highly recommend them!
Sad they cancelled Halloween event with no announcing...
Majestic architecture of one of the largest Masonic temples and one with a long history. The organizations have moved to smaller facilities and leave behind a castle of rooms, arches, double doors, and alcoves.. beautiful settings for special events from Renaissance dinners to modern proms and weddings complete with a huge kitchen.The facilities have been quite upgraded with new lighting and restrooms. Now the home of community arts organizations, the Halls are lined with artwork and filled with music. It is quite alive and worth a visit.
Excellent fine arts programming for all ages. Weve taken many classes and are always pleased!
Went to a CHRISTIAN Event!! Seating area was adequate. Acoustics were Decent.
I pretty much grew up in Cornerstone. Its an amazing place with great people, all the dance instructors are excellent at what they do.
Beautiful venue. Lots of room in the building and Ive only seen three main spaces, but theres more to discover. Excellent space for weddings/dances/parties.
Id never been inside before just drove passed it but its pretty nice inside. Theres a stage (auditorium) and a huge gathering room on the first floor (I think its the 1st floor). They also offer art classes and theres a few rooms for teaching dance and a martial arts room. The employees are extremely friendly and helpful.
Cornerstone is a beautiful historic building that really provides a place for community members to come together for workshops and other events.
Great location for a wedding reception. Only problem is parking if more than one event is taking place.
Every time I work with Cornerstone for events, they go above and beyond! If I have forgotten to ask for something, they notice and anticipate my need and the item is there for me. They are easy to work with and they always answer my long, complicated emails (sorry, Morgan) with exactly what I want!My company does 3+ events on their premises a year and they are NEVER the factor I worry about while planning!The building is huge and ornate and historical - so fun to bring new people into.USE THEM FOR ANYTHING!
Great wedding venue for anyone who wants something that isnt a barn or a church. Very nice staff and very attractive pricing.
Watched kids sing. Not bad setup
A genuinely great experience working with Cornerstone. They work with you to perfect every detail of your event and ensure the customer is pleased throughout their experience. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for beautiful venues and great service!
Wasnt visiting for any college business, but everyone was polite and nice
I went to the monthly dance hosted by Harmony Dance Studio and was impressed with the size of the room and how clean Cornerstone was. The room in which the dance was held had plenty of built in chairs, a great dance floor and a nice area for refreshments.
Really cool place, I do a camp there every summer and its really fun
Great class options and prices. My kids really love coming here Very grateful for everyone who works so hard to make this happen.
This place is a great destination for a family with children
Amazing place for youngsters to grow in the Art program.
Good, clean, and friendly atmosphere. Attended a friends wedding here.
We love the Cornerstone. But please ask your teachers to let their students know WHERE the class is. The 3rd floor is clearly not enough information. We walked all around, and then sat near the studios waiting. The Teacher did not care enough to look for us. This is the only complaint we have ever had with Cornerstone. But we wont be back for trumpet lessons!
Sons wedding other than the elevator breaking down its a great place to have banquets
This building is gorgeous and can hold any event you think of. The staff was kind and very helpful is scheduling our event. 10/10 book again with them.
Great venue, incredible staff and very accommodating for any size or type of event. Easy to find, free parking, a lot of catering options, great spaces and staff make it easy for you prior to and during your event.
Ive lived in Muncie forever and its been fun to see Cornerstone grow into something quite amazing.I had my senior Prom here in 2006. And the worst thing about it was the neighborhood (that and I had to walk the long way around in the rain and in prom dressed because someone wouldnt let me in the back, common use door). Just the kind of place you didnt want to be after dark. But thats been addressed by larger measures and now its a place I feel very safe and comfortable.Ive taken several classes, both art and dance here. The instructors are nice and skilled. Kayla, who is the dance teacher, never fails to impress me with her skills at both teaching and managing all the tiny dancers they throw at her.Ive also worked events here as a Photographer (for performances, events, Proms and weddings) and Im always meet with respect, workers asking if there is anything that I need, and inviting me to eat (which is a HUGELY considerate thing in my field).My sister and her best friend runs the Haunted House located on the upper floors in the Fall. Cornerstone has given them endless support and help with making the place better. Ive never meet or had interaction with someone at this place.My one issue is the parking situation. Its gotten better over the years with addition of additional lots, but if you are going to a prom or a wedding or another high traffic event you could be walking a ways to get there. Even in spite of that its an amazing place.
Itss a great place to go
Its just a really neat place.
Chairs in auditorium in need of repair / recovering due to holes in upholstery.
Beautiful, historical building with a passionate staff! Flexible events team happy to assist in planning your wedding or special event!Huge catalog of classes and programs for all ages.
So much nicer than you think from the outside
Awesome facility to visit and to work. A variety of events constantly flowing in and out of the doors. Courteous staff that treats all people with kindness, and a huge respect for the arts. Large facility with endless possibilities for ideas.
Multiple venues for performance, clases, or gaterings
A hidden gem for weddings or other big events.
Great place to gather.
Cornerstone is a wonderful pillar of our community! Many art classes, performances, and other community events happen here!
This building is full of beauty, something to see around every corner. The courses offered vary, and are always worth it. Great space for any event.
Love this place! Been to several dances at the hall, very cute and classy. Love the upper section of the room, a balcony-type of thing.
I love this place and what they have to offer
Nice but muddy trail easily fixed
This is a very old building got a lot of history old Masonic temple
Such a fantastic venue!
Great place to support our local ARTS. You can also rent here for special venues.
Super helpful staff, beautiful and clean facilities with tons of options, plenty of parking and a great cause.
Neat old building
Great venue for weddings, parties, corporate events, and musical performances. Built in the 20s, this historical building has lots of character and grand rooms to show off. Cornerstone is very competitive in rental prices and offer lots of support when planning your event. You should just stop in for a tour one day.The staff are wonderful to work with and they all care about their mission to provide and support arts education in the community. They also offer classes for kids to adults (i.e. ceramics, dance, martial arts, painting, and much more).On top of their event rental spaces and classes, Cornerstone also hosts many annual events throughout the year. Taste of Muncie, Brewfest, Wedding Showcase, and the Haunt are all great to check out!!
Very beautiful and grand loved it very nice opposition for a wedding or party
Great place I have been taking class here for years
VERY unprofessional and rude when I called and asked if they had my wedding date available. They had poor communication skills & I felt like I was talking to someone in high school! Would not recommend to none of my friends & family.
It was a great place for a wedding and the reception dinner.The food was good and the staff was accommodating.
Lovely place for many activities.
Great staff - made event planning a breeze.
Had a great time at the father daughter dance
Really nice venue my great niece got married here
Beautiful building, great community and environment for the arts

Beautiful building, they do have elevators, but you can take the stairs for a challenge and a workout. Parking is in back and limited, so arrive early.
Beautiful venue!
Lots to do here! For kids adult or anything else
Its time to reinvest in the down stairs. Look forward to my future grandkids seeing the sight
Excellent place with great programs. Its always a nice time.

Great historic building. Kim and her staff are the best.
What I saw of the building is beautiful, but I only passed quickly through on my way to the Majestic Room for a rehearsal of A Christmas Carol.
Wonderful place for the arts! Great classes and events!

A truly one of a kind community center. While parts of the building are outdated most communities would love to have such a place in their town.
