Review from a satisfied customer for an April 2022 wedding - "My niece had her wedding here and it was just beautiful!!! The amount of room you have in this place is so amazing!!! It allowed her wedding decor to shine just as beautiful as she did!!!

Review from a satisfied customer for her December 2021 wedding - "We had our wedding at the Riverfront Community Center on October 30, 2021 and I’m so excited to post this review! Tammy was a joy to work with! She made this experience so easy and fun. The venue is an old train depot that has been converted into a community center. The main floor is the event space with three beautiful rooms as options. The venue looks out over a train track and the Kansas river. There is a walking trail a little bit down the street that takes you to awesome photo ops. As well as the event space being super beautiful and cost efficient, it comes with use of tables and chairs. There is also a team of guys who help set your event up exactly how you want it so all you have to do is show up and decorate! There are also a ton of add-on options such as lighted back drop, projector, lighted ceiling decorations and more! We would definitely use this space again for another event! It is a hidden gem and we loved every part of it!" - Halyn Massey
