Flint Hills Wedding Venues: Four Sourced Options
These four options near Manhattan have wedding use established on their own sites. They range from a downtown event center to a small-format ceremony venue. Use the published capacity as a starting point only when the source labels it for a comparable setup.
Flint Hills Discovery Center — downtown venue with indoor and outdoor spaces
The City of Manhattan’s Flint Hills Discovery Center lists weddings and receptions at 315 S. 3rd St. Its full-building package is published at 150 seated or 200 standing, $300 per hour, and includes a rooftop terrace, private rooms, exhibit spaces, theater, atrium and balconies. Private rooms hold 40 seated or 55 standing and are listed at $75 per hour or $400 for a full day. Tables and chairs with basic setup are included; events with 55 or more guests, or a cash bar, must use an approved caterer. Flint Hills Discovery Center weddings
