Compare this venue side by side

The Press is a renovated 1946 building in downtown Manhattan with a stage and flexible configurations for ceremonies and receptions. The site states a maximum of 250 guests, without distinguishing a seated reception count from a general capacity figure, and lists the rental fee as including round tables, folding chairs, rectangle tables and cocktail tables, with optional setup/teardown and bartending staff.

Ask whether the 250-guest figure applies to your proposed layout, and about catering and alcohol rules, accessibility, and outdoor or weather-backup options, since the site describes only indoor space. Daily rental starts at $4,000 and a weekend package at $6,000; contact The Press at events@thepressvenuemhk.com, by phone at (785) 251-3322, or through its website contact form.
