The Flint Hills Discovery Center, in downtown Manhattan, states on its Rentals & Parties page that it hosts weddings, describing itself as suitable “from small and simple to large and formal.” The site lists both indoor and outdoor spaces for meetings, parties and events, though it does not state an exact guest capacity for either.

Events with 55 or more guests, or any event with a cash bar, must use a caterer from the center’s approved list; the center charges no separate catering fee. Alcohol is permitted under the center’s guidelines and applicable law, with a $100 non-refundable alcohol fee. Full rental pricing is referenced on a separate amenities-and-pricing page not shown here. Inquiries go through event supervisor Jonathan Mertz or a rental inquiry form, by phone at (785) 587-2726.

Ask the Flint Hills Discovery Center for its exact reception-space capacity, weather-backup plan for outdoor space, and current rental pricing.
