The Brownstone is a rustic wedding and event venue in Topeka, KS. First built in 1927, this farm setting sports a blend of vintage architecture and elegant details for couples to enjoy. The onsite team offers their versatile grounds and all-inclusive packages to give each soon-to-be-wed a relaxing, stress-free planning process.
The Brownstone sits on five acres of private land, giving couples a tranquil, secluded setting to host their wedding day. Flourishing trees, manicured fields, and vibrant gardens surround the main event barn and make for a visually rich ceremony space. You will be welcome to place your altar within the Limestone Patio, which features a natural stone fireplace and staircase for photo-ready backdrops. You and your guests can then move into the barn's reception hall, which can host up to 200 people total. Inside features the original brick and wooden beams to give your big day an old-school touch. Its versatile floor plan allows you to create any seating arrangement you want, while the mezzanine floor provides extra seating space with a view. The large windows and detailed chandeliers will give your event a bright, airy feel. Get-ready lounges are also available onsite for you and your wedding party to prepare in comfort.
The Brownstone has a one-event-per-day policy, giving you exclusive access to the grounds during your celebration. Their in-house event coordinator will work with you throughout the planning process and help you make the most out of your venue space. They will also connect you with their list of recommended vendors, ensuring that you achieve your dream theme.
The brownstone was one of the most beautiful places my now husband and I had seen! As soon as we walked in we instantly knew that was where we were going to get married. All of the people who worked there were fantastic in making sure our vision came to life. Margarita- our even design coordinator helped put together exactly what we imagined! I’m so glad that we chose the Brownstone for our special day, and we recommend it to any one we know that is getting married! Reviewed on 21-11-2023

From our first viewing at The Brownstone I knew it was the venue for us! Not only is the venue itself gorgeous but the organization for the days leading up to our wedding was beyond measure. The weeks leading up to the wedding I was able to meet/text with Kelsey who finalized ALL small details, even some I hadn't thought of. She was there for the rehearsal and helped lead my large wedding party and family in the right direction for the big day. The day of the wedding she was there, along with a few other staff members, helping set up tables, chairs, linens, and helping coordinate to make sure we were all on time. We chose to do the all access rental package, which was by far the best decision we made! They had the exact decor I had envisioned and after the big day I didn't have a ton of extra pieces that I had to take home. From picking decor pieces, and ceremony and reception floor plans, to guiding the week of the wedding right up until I walked down the aisle to my husband, The Brownstone seriously made our wedding THE most memorable day of our lives.

The Brownstone did an amazing job!!! They made the planning process super easy and recommended several places that they use for things like catering, DJ, photos, flowers, etc…. They are super easy to work with! Kelsey with Brownstone was AMAZING!! She was very thorough when asking for anything we needed or wanted to request. She was always available when we had questions, by text or email, and very attentive to everything on the day of our wedding! Very pleased with everything they did for us on our big day and we definitely had a large wedding with lots of guests for this venue and they were so wonderful with accommodating all our guests! I actually changed up our original walk through at the last minute and they were very helpful with that process and all of the planning. I would 100% recommend The Brownstone to anyone planning a wedding! Reviewed on 25-10-2023

Wow! I couldn’t believe our experience getting married at The Brownstone. I got married this summer in between semesters of college. Wedding planning in the midst of college was hectic (as expected) and I never had thought my dream “Pinterest wedding” would be the outcome. Choosing the Brownstone also lifted TONS of weight off of my shoulders. After choosing this venue, I met with the staff, expressed my wishes, and wedding planning got much smaller and easier. Our day was absolutely beautiful and stress free!! When looking into prices, keep in mind that the staff are available with their own experience, knowledge, and amazing services — worth it!!!

The Brownstone is beautiful inside and out, I was really impressed with the landscape and flower beds. We also did the rentals and design team, which made our day so easy and relaxed. Margarita who is over the design/rentals is amazing and really went above and beyond for us!! She put her heart & soul into our design and made it so much better than I ever could have imagined! 10/10 recommend working with Margarita, she is the most genuine person. Cons:- We were really excited about our venue coordinator Mary since she came with great recommendations but we received an email a few weeks later notifying us that a schedule mix up happened and our venue coordinator would be Amy. Amy stopped responding to our emails the week of our wedding.. they were super simple questions an would have taken 10 seconds to respond to. She also stated that we would receive a gift at our rehearsal but we never received one. We hardly even saw her at our rehearsal or wedding. I heavily relied on my Day of Coordinator Lindsey with the Veil for any help with the venue. - You don’t receive a detailed invoice listing out everything you’re being charged for unless you personally ask for one. We found out that we were being overcharged and never would have caught it if we didn’t ask for a detailed invoice. - The venue put out more chairs during our ceremony than we needed so our ceremony had a ton of empty chairs in all of our photos. I highly recommend asking the staff to only put out enough chairs for the guest count you submitted. I would also subtract the chairs for the bridesmaids and groomsmen if they don’t plan on sitting during the ceremony. - Our signature drinks barely had any alcohol in them. I had about 6 drinks and still didn’t have a buzz. Keep in mind, I usually get tipsy off of 2 drinks! You are also required to include all children over the age of 3 in your alcohol package. Which seemed crazy. Overall the Brownstone was beautiful and we had a great time! Reviewed on 06-06-2023

Beverage packages were reasonably priced for the offerings and they nailed our signature cocktails.A venue coordinator is there to support with everything needed for wedding day. The venue called all our vendors prior to wedding day just to double check everything (a real blessing during the busy week leading up to the big day).

Kylie DesJardins(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-10-2019 I loved everything about The Brownstone! It was everything I have ever dreamed of. The minute I toured the Brownstone, I knew it was the place I was going to hold my wedding and reception. The ambiance of the venue is everything I have ever dreamed of. I've always wanted an outdoor wedding and a barn for the reception; the Brownstone met all of my expectations! The staff worked with me for 14 months, from booking the venue until my wedding, answering all my questions, helping me plan, and giving wonderful suggestions. Judy, my coordinator was AMAZING! She made the day perfect. The day of my wedding, I was stressed because the wedding was outside and it was raining. At 5:15 the rain stopped and her and the other staff rushed to dry everything off so that I could have the wedding outside; the fireplace and arbor on the patio were wonderful touches. We rented a tent to have our dance outside, and we were provided with heaters as well. It was the perfect place and gave guests a variety of spaces to move to! The whole day and night of my wedding went so smoothly. Abbey in the morning did wonderful setting up, answering questions, and helping me prepare. During the wedding, Judy helped release the wedding party for the precessional, directed us for pictures, helped us with our introductions and made everything go wonderful. My guests raved about the venue (many of my out of town friends kept commenting and couldn't believe Topeka had such a beautiful venue!) We had two different bars, and it was perfect. All the guests had a great time! It was truly such a dream, and I'm so thankful for this venue and staff. Thank you for making my day perfect. If you are looking for an elegant barn, with rustic touches, outdoor and inside spaces, a wonderful staff, and a great location then this is your place! Reviewed on 10-10-2019
Chelsea Gfeller(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-09-2019 My husband and I will recommend The Brownstone to everyone for any event. We were blown away by the venue and the staff.Our story:My wedding day came just three days after going through an emergency c-section and welcoming my first child into the world. The staff at The Brownstone helped set up for my wedding day, called all my vendors to verify arrival times, regularly checked in on me to make sure I was doing okay, offered to watch our baby if needed, and honestly went way above and beyond for us. I'm not recommending to have a baby three days before your wedding, but if you do, the staff at The Brownstone will make it as easy as possible for you.The staff/venue:The wedding itself was gorgeous, owing most of that to the natural beauty of the venue. The staff did everything they could to make the wedding go smoothly: keeping the buffet stocked, breaking down the buffet, cleaning the dance floor, taking down unused tables/chairs, cleaning up at the end of the evening. We worked with a variety of staff members throughout the booking/planning/event day timeline and each person was as friendly and helpful as the one before them. Our guests even commented multiple times about the beauty of the venue and the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. Also, two weeks after the wedding, one of the staff members saw us out at a restaurant and came to say hi and see the baby again. We thought that was nice!We highly recommend! Reviewed on 09-10-2019

Our Day-of-Coordinator was professional, prompt and always ready. She made sure everything happened just as I had dreamed it would. The whole staff at the Brownstone went out of their way to make the day as magical. The facilities are great with every little detail thought out. The Bride's room to get ready is pamper perfect.

Shelby Ebert(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-05-2019 I can't recommend The Brownstone and their staff enough! First off, the venue is breathtaking! All of my guests said they had never seen something quite like this place. Second of all, their staff went above and beyond for my day! I had planned our ceremony to be outside on the back patio, but there was a chance of rain. They set up the ceremony in BOTH inside the barn and out on the back patio so I didn't have to make the decision until about 10-15 minutes before ceremony time! About 30 minutes before my ceremony, it rained for a few minutes. The moment it stopped, they had leaf blowers and towels outside drying the seats so we could have our dream wedding outside! Everything was EXACTLY how I imagined it to be. They even worked with my mom to help fix our linen issue when the wrong linens got delivered. The bartenders we had were the life of the party, and our coordinator, Margarita, was absolutely incredible! She made sure everything went smoothly down to radio-ing her other staff to make sure the doors for my dad and I opened at the perfect time for us to walk down the back stairs and that everyone met at the aisle at the perfect time. If you are looking for a unique, rustic but elegant venue that is still close for guests to stay at a hotel, go visit this The Brownstone! You won't regret it. Reviewed on 18-06-2019
