Wichita Caterer & Reception Venue: Corporate Caterers

If you’ve lived in or near Wichita for any length of time, you’ve heard of Corporate Caterers. I can’t count how many times I’ve eaten their food at birthday parties, staff trainings, fundraisers and…wait for it…weddings! Soon to be celebrating their 10 year anniversary, the company has grown leaps and bounds boasting breakfast, lunch and dinner service as well as chocolate fountain rental and the recently opened Corporate Caterers Banquet Facility. Be sure to check out the 360° Tour to get a feel for the space . Having been there a few times, I think the slideshow offers a better idea of what the interior offers.

They will work with brides to create a menu that is pleasing to both your palate and your wallet, and can accommodate your shower, bridal brunch/luncheon, rehearsal dinner or wedding reception (minimum head count for the banquet facility is 20; maximum 225). Note that they will cater events held at other locations and you’re not bound to use their food service if you rent their facility.

Wichita KS Wedding Venue: The Grand Chapel

One of the newest wedding sites in Wichita is the Grand Chapel and Reception Hall. This is perfect for brides who desire a church wedding but have no church affiliation or perhaps their own church does not suit their needs. Centrally located in downtown Wichita, KS on Broadway, the Grand Chapel is minutes away from hotels and the airport – very easy for guests to find.

The sanctuary holds up to 750 people, and the basement is a reception hall (fully equipped with a kitchen, bar and dance floor). The say that catering is offered by Cibola - I don't know if they allow you to bring in a different caterer or not. The chapel offers multiple private dressing rooms, as well as a beautful brides' room where you can change and even have your make-up artist and hairstylist meet you for prep work. Perhaps my favorite thing about this wedding venue is all the natural light that floods the auditorium – there are large windows lining the perimiter. Watch out if you're planning a ceremony around sunset, though; you don't want to blind your guests!
