My brother just had his wedding here and we thought the venue was perfect. It's one of the only…read morespaces in the area that allows for their own catering and alcohol to be brought in. They literally let us do whatever we wanted with the food and bar, along with the decor... it's a simple "barn style" set up with a neat ceiling and lights, and enough to probably have between 100-150 seated guests comfortably. It was clean and new feeling. The owner, Theresa, is very responsive. She made everything we did so easy to work with. The costs are not outrageous and this is really the perfect venue for anyone who wants to create their own event on top of a great "base" like the W. The ONLY thing I would say is that the parking situation is a little odd, but it's close to downtown Lawrence so street parking is accessible and there is an old church lot across the street.

On Saturday evening, I attended a wedding here and was beyond impressed with the level of…read moreattentiveness, friendliness of staff, gorgeous decor and delicious food. The inside was elegant and tastefully decorated. They allowed the bride and groom to put their own touches on the wall by hanging engagement pictures and decorations. The ceremony was outside and I was surprised by how comfortable the chairs were. I also appreciated the shade tents they put up to block the sun for the guests. Dinner, drinks and appetizers were delicious. The staff came around to make sure you had everything you needed without being too pushy. This would be a great place to have an sort of event or wedding. I really enjoyed being a guest.
