The Temple

The Temple is a historic century-old building in downtown Salina that has been repurposed as a multiuse venue for weddings, events, and creative businesses. Originally constructed in 1927—when composer John Philip Sousa himself played at its dedication—the building spans 160,000 square feet across seven floors and features iconic architectural details including bronze front doors, 122 hand-hammered copper gargoyles adorning the roof, and 104 hand-painted backdrops housed in the third-floor theater. Listed on both the Kansas and National Register of Historic Places, The Temple embodies Salina’s cultural heritage and architectural significance.

For celebrations, couples can rent dedicated event spaces within this one-of-a-kind venue, combining historic grandeur with modern event flexibility. The building’s theatrical roots and distinctive character create a memorable backdrop for ceremonies and receptions. The Temple is also home to the Salina Innovation Foundation, which manages both event rentals and office leasing, supporting a creative community. Couples interested in celebrating within a truly unique, historically significant space in downtown Salina can contact The Temple to explore their event offerings and available dates.
