Vincennes, IN
  • Up to 400 guests
  • Raw space

  • Starts at $3,500

First of all, congratulations!!! We are so glad you are interested in our event center! We are now open in the American National Bank Building, 302 Main Street. The 12,000 square foot area will easily seat 400 guests {300 on main level + 100 upstairs}; however, it is easy to make the space seem more quaint for smaller parties. We have a private parking lot in the back and the corner lot allows for ample street parking. Our elegant + industrial look is complete with a grand staircase, a "U" shaped balcony that overlooks the dance floor, a bank vault converted to a ready room, and an additional large suite/ready room with plenty of mirrors and plug-ins! The strategically placed lighting {most of which are on dimmers} will create the most perfect ambiance and decorating can be minimal!

The Grand Bankquet Hall is a venue unlike any other in our area. It is an architectural beauty that the owners have meticulously curated into a gorgeous event space. It is nestled perfectly in a historic downtown setting, and can create such an elegant wedding experience. It has built in beautiful elements with the natural light that filters in from the windows, gorgeous chandeliers, and accents of retained elements from its days serving as a local bank. It comes with a complete bridal and groom suite to get ready in. It serves not only as a reception venue, but the perfect place for wedding photographs and can accommodate a wedding ceremony. Leah and her team are truly amazing and easy to work with. They continue to update and add new elements to the venue. It is such a versatile space, and can be transformed into any style of wedding that you desire. We were one of the first couples to use the space when it opened in 2019, and we could not recommend this venue more!

Awarded Best of Zola
White Pine Manor is an absolutely stunning wedding venue that exceeded every expectation we had. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this place is truly special. The breathtaking scenery, impeccable grounds, and beautifully designed spaces created the perfect backdrop for our celebration. What truly sets this venue apart, however, is the owner. Jo Ann is a remarkable host who goes above and beyond to ensure every detail is perfect. Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine care for her clients shines through in everything she does. She took the time to understand our vision and helped us execute it flawlessly, offering invaluable advice and support throughout the planning process. Every guest raved about how beautiful the venue was and how smoothly everything went, thanks to Jo Ann. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a grand affair, this venue and its owner will make your wedding’s day unforgettable. We cannot recommend White Pine Manor enough—it truly is a dream come true!
