Prairiewood is a wedding venue west of Manhattan, Kansas. Its website describes the Blue Sage Barn as its wedding event space, with a covered wraparound veranda and a catering kitchen that includes warming shelves, double ovens and refrigeration. The site states a reception capacity of up to 125 seated guests, with a maximum capacity of 175. Table and chair layout and setup are included, along with built-in audio and lighting.

On-site lodging options listed are the HomePlace Cottonwood Suite, HomePlace Willow Suite, Kingfisher Cottage, RetreatHouse and StoneHouse; the site does not state a guest count for each building. The site does not address alcohol rules, a weather-backup plan for outdoor space, or accessibility. No rental prices are published; a separate wedding-packages document is referenced but not shown on the pages reviewed. Inquiries go by phone or the site’s contact form.

Ask about lodging capacity per building, alcohol and bar policy, weather-backup plans, and current package pricing.
