The Archive 101

When we were searching for a venue for my daughter’s quinceañera, I wanted a space that felt beautiful, welcoming, and one that we could customize and make our own.  The Archive 101 was exactly that.

From the very beginning, Kelly was wonderful to work with. She was easy to communicate with, answered all of our questions promptly and genuinely cared about making sure everything came together. Planning a big event is stressful, but she made the process feel so much easier.

The venue speaks for itself. It’s located inside of a historic building, and once you walk in, it’s like stepping into another world. Between the gorgeous chandeliers, historic charm, and elegant ballroom staircase, every detail feels magical as well as detailed.   My daughter made her entrance down the staircase, and it was a moment that left everyone, including herself, in awe of.  She felt like a princess and expressed to me that that was the moment she had always wanted to feel, beautiful and special coming down a ballroom staircase.  For myself as her mother, that’s what every parent wants for their daughter and The Archive gave us that opportunity and moment to happen.  

There is a bridal suite behind a secret door for the girls to get ready in that was another favorite. It was absolutely beautiful and such a fun surprise for everyone seeing it for the first time.

One of the biggest surprises for our guests was the free arcade. It was an absolute hit with the kids and gave them their own space to have fun throughout the night, while the adults were able to enjoy the celebration too.

The venue photographs beautifully, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how gorgeous it was. Even months later, my family and friends are still mentioning how beautiful the venue was, and I think that says a lot.

As a business owner and someone who works in the wedding industry myself, I pay attention to communication, organization, and how a venue actually functions on event day. The Archive 101 exceeded my expectations, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a venue that’s not only beautiful but also unforgettable.

Thank you, Kelly, for helping make Natalie’s Quinceañera a day we will truly never forget.

Our family had the privilege of hosting our celebration at Archive 101, and the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish. The booking process, tour, setup, and cleanup were all seamless—thanks to the owners, who clearly take great pride in their beautiful venue.
What truly stood out were the thoughtful, extra touches that made our event feel so special and memorable. Their attention to detail did not go unnoticed.
I would highly recommend Archive 101 for any special occasion—whether it’s a birthday, wedding, business event, or family gathering. The possibilities are endless, and we will absolutely be back again. Thank you, Archive 101!

We used the Archive 101 to celebrate a bridal shower. The team was amazing! From the first moment I contacted them they were extremely helpful and were just as warm in person. The venue was gorgeous and easily accommodated our 40 guests in the main salon and felt intimate, even though the area could easily accommodate double the number. Our celebration was a huge success and I would recommend the Archive team and venue wholeheartedly!

I attended the wedding showcase at the Archive 101 and was very impressed! The space is beautiful, elegant and truly stunning in person. You can tell a lot of care went into every detail.
I have already booked an event for this April and am really looking forward to it!
Such a gem in Hutchinson!

This location is beautiful and can accommodate so many different events! We will be booking soon!!
