The best decision we made for our wedding was to have it at the Wichita Boathouse! Laura and her team are fantastic, responsive and helpful through the planning process. We had our ceremony on the grass by the river, which makes for a beautiful setting. The downtown vibe was awesome, walking distance to many hotels and restaurants, unlimited parking and a great highlight of downtown Wichita. We loved the freedom of bringing in our own vendors (except Alcohol Services) and felt the KSHOF gave us the flexibility to be creative with our decorations! Our 145 guests were comfortable and happy - photos turned out amazing of the space & I highly recommend this venue to anyone getting married in Wichita! Thank you, Laura!

Laura at the Wichita Boathouse was truly amazing. She was constantly helpful, and even though I felt like I was getting annoying with my multitude of emails asking her questions left and right, she was never bothered by it, and was happy to help all along the way. Her event staff was friendly, helpful, and careful to make sure everything was secure during the event.

We felt like the venue was a great value for everything they include, and it was a truly beautiful venue that required very little dressing up. We also enjoyed sneaking away to the balcony at the end of the night to just awe in the downtown lights and have a private romantic moment.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
