Thompson Barn

on barn was great at setting up the tables and chair seating arrangement as we requested, even when we changed it only a week prior to the day. The kegerators offered for free use were an added bonus. Would definitely recommend this venue for your wedding!

d a LOT of extra decorating to look amazing for wedding day. We simply rented some string lights and tied them back and forth across the side beams, added some white tablecloths and very simple centerpieces, and we turned it into a real wedding venue! The fact that you can bring your own bartender and your own catering made it very flexible. The staff was very helpful and always available. Thompson Barn really met our expectations and helped us stay in budget. We'd recommend it to anyone!

The concierge on the day of helped a lot and we were always treated nicely. We totally recommend having your weeding there. AND, it is just a beautiful and elegant place. You don't need many decorations to make it look good. We loved the place since the first day we saw it.

they were happy to accommodate our requests. The day of the event, everything was set up exactly as we requested prior to our reservation start time. Also, the A/V equipment is included in the rental, and is SO EASY to use!!!

nues. The only con is you somewhat have to do everything yourself and if you are having a ceremony and reception both there you have to flip the room yourselves (it took us 15 minutes to flip for 200 people). Would totally have our wedding here again and again!

!!!), beautiful architecture, very modern, and nice staff to work with! My wedding was very small (less than 100 people attended) so if you want a small venue, but don't want to pay a fortune - this is the venue for you! Couple of things I want to mention if you're thinking about booking this place. They don't do rehearsal the night before (you would have to rent the barn, minimum of 4 hours) so I ended up skipping that and straight to do dinner at a restaurant with the wedding party and family members. I would advise that you either hire a wedding coordinator and/or have a dedicated team to do the decoration on the day of the wedding. The venue staff will set up the basics (chairs, tables, mics, and other amenities they provide) but things like linens, ribbons, flowers, extra lights, and wedding decorations you will have to do it yourself. (You also have to do the breakdown after the wedding) I ended up doing both the ceremony and reception inside the main hall. (I was afraid of the summer shower rains if I went with the outdoor ceremony...which I did hear horror stories from my wedding coordinator) My coordinator came to the barn at 8am to start the decoration process and she was done way before noon. Other wedding vendors got to the venue with no problem and set up their stuff. Very smooth process. If you're looking for places to take your first look or wedding pictures in general, the outside had this cute little vintage Victorian house right next to the barn and so much natural green and beautiful flowers surrounded - I loved how my wedding photos turned out! The staff at the venue was very nice and answered all of our questions! During the day of my wedding, the on-site staff actually gave me a complimentary macaroons as a congratulations. She was so nice, haha. All in all, this was the perfect venue for my wedding. 100% recommend Thompson Barn!!

h, but most of all the Victorian House and the redone barn made me feel like I was in a movie, yet I also felt really relaxed. We didn't have to do much with decor because it was naturally aesthetically pleasing & my photographer said it was one of her favorite spots to shoot! It was the most beautiful venue & it made our day even more special!

d more tables they were on top of it. The space is a very beautiful space and does not need much decorating. Everyone complemented us on how beautiful the venue was. It was the perfect size for our smaller wedding with 120 guests. The magnetic wall downstairs makes for some awesome decorating ideas. The stairs are beautiful and it was fun to incorporate them into the ceremony and picture taking. Overall the staff was wonderful and we really enjoyed our time there.

ling helps. We always got our questions answered quickly and with no stress. I have already recommended them to friends. On top of everything else, pictures turned out incredibly. Beautiful place

mbers from the City of Lenexa were great to work with and the space was very easy to decorate. We can't wait to see how our photos turn out with all the natural light and the staircase and Thompson Lackman Estate as the backdrop. There was plenty of space for both mine and my husband's sides of the bridal party to get ready. It would have been nice to have a mirror in the Bride's side of the space to get ready, but that is my only complaint. The restrooms were very clean. As the bride, it was nice knowing the ladies room had two large stalls so there was plenty of room for my dress. Overall, we had a great time and would absolutely recommend it to our friends.

dding venue it was!

o camp out if you want a Saturday in a peak month. My fiance and I slept in the parking lot for 14 hours to get our date- but it was SO worth it. You do not get rehearsal time the night before- you only get the day that you book. That also means you have to do all the decorating on the day of. This worked out totally fine for us- we got there at 8 when the barn opened and decorated and were done by lunch to begin getting ready. You can get married outside, but trains and I-35 are right there so we got married inside. I heard horror stories of trains going by right as the processional began outside. Other than that, the staff is all very easy to work with, the venue is gorgeous and it is SO affordable. It's perfect for the modern-rustic feel! Would definitely pick this place again- it was worth the camp-out and every penny!

t with the natural beauty of the barn you won't need much! All of my guests loved this venue! It may be a little difficult for guests to picture where the location is if they aren't familiar with the area but it's really easy to get too off of I 435. We printed little direction cards for people to get from the church to the barn. I would 100% recommend this venue!! Please be aware though like I said earlier that you have to set this venue up yourself, they do not have a staff to set up decorations, bar, etc. this venue provided the most amazing back drop to my wedding day!

to the staff to the actual barn itself was incredible. I would tell anyone to get this venue because it will make all your wedding dreams come true-however make sure you get there super early in the morning to book it because it's VERY popular & books up fast. This venue will not disappoint.
