About this venue
Just the Place is a wedding venue in Ozawkie, Kansas. It features a large red barn, built in 1900, and has a very rustic and authentic look and feel. You can still see the hand-hewn beams and tree trunks supporting the structure. The west side of the barn opens out to a large patio and a big view of the Delaware River Valley. A beautiful backdrop for your ceremony is surrounded by 40 acres of natural Kansas prairie. Perry Lake is only one mile away to the south, with a boat ramp and campgrounds less than 2 miles away.
The fully furnished farmhouse was built in the 1920's and has a bathroom, kitchen, deep freeze, and a large Bridal Suite in the loft.
We only host one event at a time, so your needs will be our only focus during your event. Our wedding families have access to the barn venue, groom room, cottage, public restrooms, and gaming corral for the entirety of the event.

The BEST wedding venue and catering experience ever!
From start to finish, our experience with Just the Place and their catering services was nothing short of phenomenal. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but they made everything seamless, stress-free, and truly unforgettable.
The venue itself was stunning—beautifully maintained, and full of charm. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, and the owners went above and beyond to make sure the space looked perfect for our big day.
But what truly blew us (and our guests!) away was the catering. The food was exceptional—fresh, flavorful, beautifully presented, and served right on time. So many of our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was. Everything was absolutely top-tier.
The service was warm, professional, and incredibly attentive. We felt genuinely cared for, not just like another client. They took the time to understand our unique vision, and they delivered beyond our expectations in every possible way. Let’s not forget our affordable this place is. Their prices for both the venue and catering are by FAR better than other places in the area.
If you're looking for a venue and catering that will treat your event like it's their own, and is absolutely affordable, stop your search now—you’ve found them. We’re so grateful and honestly wish we could do it all over again just to experience it one more time!
Thank you to you both at Just the Place for helping create memories we’ll cherish forever.

Perfect (all in one place) venue for when city meets country!
We couldn’t have imagined a better place for our daughter’s wedding! This venue truly has it all — a beautiful home for the wedding party to stay in, a stunning outdoor ceremony space, a gorgeous barn for the dinner and reception, and a fun outdoor area that kept everyone dancing all night. We got all of that for TWO FULL DAYS for less than some venues charge for mere hours!
Erin and Justin were incredible to work with — kind, professional, and so helpful every step of the way. Their “borrowing closet” was such a wonderful bonus and saved us so much time and effort. Justin, who doubled as the caterer, did an amazing job — the food was absolutely delicious and beautifully served.
From set-up to clean-up and everything in between, the team went above and beyond to make sure the day ran smoothly. They truly cared about making it a special day for our daughter and her new husband, and it showed in every detail.
We can’t say enough good things about this venue or the people who run it. If you’re looking for a beautiful, all-in-one location with wonderful hosts who go the extra mile, this is the place!
