Venue and staff were amazing!

Loved working with Kary Taylor and the team at Wichita Boathouse and Xclusive Events. Professional and responded quickly to all questions and requests. Bonus--when you book the Boathouse, you automatically book Xclusive for all of the bartending needs. Multiple packages and options to choose from--its like they really care about your event and are invested in making everything run smoothly. The venue is beautiful, so we were able to keep our decoration simple/elegant. Guests can explore the grounds and the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame museum on the first level, during the downtime between ceremony and reception.

This venue has it all. It is so beautiful on it's own that it requires very little decoration and has much needed amenities like multiple bathrooms, a kitchen, and ice maker, and an elevator. The wrap around porch was so fun so our guests could spread out. 5 stars!
