Love this place. Love Jessie and Ava. So many great points to share, we don’t know where to start. They made us feel so welcome and allowed our planning team (AKA My mom, her best friend, and the day-of coordinator) to ask a million questions without ever seeming impatient. It has exactly the look we wanted. I personally was worried the brick and concrete would mess with the acoustics like I’ve seen at other similar venues but everyone heard the toasts and music just fine! Plus my husband loved that we could play some football for our guests while we were off taking pictures during cocktail hour. This place is a dream, it’s no wonder we picked it immediately after our first tour! We made the right choice!

Cannot say enough good things about The Hudson. It will always hold a very special place in my heart. Hands down, some of the kindest people I have ever worked with. It's not often that you experience people who genuinely care about their clients in the way the girls at The Hudson do. Ava, thank you so much for helping make our day so incredibly special. It wouldn't have been as beautiful as it was without your guidance and support. Y'all helps our wedding dreams come true!

Jessie was a great coordinator. She was very helpful and willing to work with us on whatever we needed. Venue was fabulous and decorated great. I plan on having our event there again next year.

This place has an amazing vibe! It's classy, but not too stuffy - reminiscent of The Great Gatsby and that era. The bar area and the other rooms have lots of fun small details. It feels like a venue you would find in Chicago or Nashville. I'd definitely choose this over Abode or other venues I've been to locally. The private parking for the event was an added bonus!

If you want to work with true professionals in Wichita event planning and have a beautiful, fun, and positive experience, contact The Hudson. The venue is absolutely 2nd to none in Wichita. The individuals you are honored to partner with when you choose this establishment will put others to shame. From the professionals at The Hudson, to the Caterers, Lighting, Bar, Linens and so many others that they coordinate with - the team will make your event so memorable and flawless.
