Sumner Center

Sumner Center is a venue in historic downtown Wellington, Kansas, with an industrial-meets-mid-century-modern vibe, and capacity for up to 500 wedding guests. Most couples start their venue search thinking they only have two options: barn or ballroom. But there's a third option — and it's the one a lot of couples didn't know existed until they found it.

Services Offered

Here's what's included at Sumner Center — no inquiry required:

• Round tables and chairs, set up and broken down for you
• Full HVAC with advanced air quality (your guests will actually be comfortable)
• PA system, projection, and high-speed WiFi
• Accent lighting built in
• Professional event security
• Refrigeration and ice
• Flexible access — setup time the day before, your full event day, and cleanup the morning after

There are no hay bales, no barn doors, and no guessing what's included in the wedding package. Just a clean, beautiful, well-equipped space that can be styled to match exactly what you're envisioning — softened with art, fabric, and flowers, or left to speak for itself. If you've been scrolling through venues and feeling like nothing fits, this might be the one worth a closer look. You might also find that the Sumner Center has a second location, the Spanish Revival-style Edwin Smith House (listed on the National Register of Historic Places), a block and a half away, available as an outdoor venue as well as for engagement photos.
