Pottorf Hall is on the Riley County Fairgrounds at 1710 Avery Ave, Manhattan. Riley County’s page for the facility does not use the word “wedding”; it describes general room and facility rental. Rooms are rented by the hour, and the outdoor barns are charged by the day, with separate rates for nonprofit and for-profit use. Normal operating hours are 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., and events can be scheduled up to a year in advance.

The page states that no alcoholic beverages are allowed on the fairgrounds or in its facilities, and that a 20% down payment is required to hold a reservation. It does not give room capacity, square footage, ceiling height, flooring, restroom, or accessibility details. Scheduling is handled through the Riley County Extension Office at the courthouse in Manhattan.

Ask the Riley County Extension Office for current room dimensions and capacity, rental rates, and whether the no-alcohol rule applies to private events.
