My wedding ceremony was held outdoors in the gazebo at Old Shawnee Town, and my reception was inside the Town Hall. The cost to rent both was extremely reasonable compared to other venues, and was just as beautiful. The Town Hall is very elegant inside, with wooden floors and white crown molding outlining burgandy walls, and a beautiful oak bar. If you're looking for a low cost venue without having to sacrifice decor, then Shawnee Town is a great option!

Classy and Reasonable

This location offers excellent options. There is an outdoor gazebo under the trees and a lovely large building with an elegant large antique bar. The people are wonderful to work with, and the cost of this venue is more affordable than several we looked at. We reserved the area for 11 hours total. Would recommend Shawnee Town in a minute!

This was the only place we found that was reasonably affordable and would also allow you to bring in your own alcohol and catering. The place is beautiful and we filled the place up with about 210 people, anymore and it would have felt crowded. (We only used this place for our reception.) The staff was very helpful and super easy to work with. They did require a off duty office be hired, which is completely understandable, he was a pretty chill and cool guy anyways. I highly recommend this place! Our theme was 1920's and the venue matched perfectly.
