Communications with the site were great all along the way. The site is exceptionally beautiful, inside and out. A great place for photographs at any time of the year. The kitchen, bathrooms, and dressing room were close and perfect for our use. I do wish there was a restroom in the basement close to the dressing room, however. Ease of unloading/loading our items was good. The covered patio was perfect for overflow. The only complaint I have for this site is that it's open to the public until later in the day. Therefore, we couldn't set up in public walkways until they were closed. That put us behind in some ways, even with one of our vendors. Seems like our fee should cover that they are closed for that day...or at least close to the public earlier in the day (i.e. Noon). Otherwise, definitely a 5-star location. Reviewed on 23-12-2023

Saige Peters(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-10-2022 ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH THIS VENUE. The day I laid eyes on this venue was the day I knew that I would be getting married here. My husband was adamant that we would not be getting married outside but when he saw this venue he decided as well that we needed to get married outside. The venue is stunning with fantastic lake side views, it was so incredibly clean, organized, and the whole team was extremely kind. The only issue I would mention is they were not able to get outside chairs for the wedding although we booked with them as soon as possible and were hoping that they would have them by the time of our wedding (they mentioned they were in the process of trying to buy a set) BUT with that being said I would still 100000% book with them again!

We also loved the option of the covered patio as a backup plan for inclement weather. The park across the street at the Olathe Community Center was great for doing bridesmaid photos as we did not do a first look before the ceremony. Susan was incredibly helpful and patient throughout the process, Lorna was helpful but not in a very expedient manner. There are some inefficiencies the site could easily workout by having a \"tip sheet\" of various questions that are commonly asked that would eliminate needing to contact their staff for clarification (i.e. table sizes and recommend table cloth sizes for floor length, etc.).

I had hoped the stagecoach would have been better because the reason being my tour of the venue was amazing. The experience was okay but I don't think I'd reccomend it. There's alot of miscommunication. First of all trying to get ahold of a rental coordinator to ask questions is hard. It would sometimes take Lorna a couple days and it seemed like nobody else knew rental questions and pricing..that's frustrating. My coordinator had to get a little firm because they wouldn't schedule our rehersal and when they finally did ANOTHER bride was there!! Yes, hers was a little earlier but they still ran into our time. At our final walk through I was told I could leave our stuff as long as it wasn't furniture in the bridal suite. Nobody communicated with the staff so when I tried to bring my stuff they almost didn't let me. Luckily I was able too because Lorna answered and said yes. It was just frustrating the communication. Not to mention when I went to pay my final amount I was trying to ask questions and the body language just made me feel like like I was bothering her. In wedding planning communication is a big thing and my expectations were just not met. Not to mention my family even felt like susan was rude while we were setting up. Reviewed on 07-12-2018

Rose Payne(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-04-2018 I got married at the Heritage Center at Mahaffie in April of 2018. My husband & I elected to have our ceremony under the covered porch attached to the Heritage Center & have our reception immediately after inside the Heritage Center. VENUE SPACE â The space is simple, spacious and gives you that rustic feel without being in an actual barn. Inside the Heritage Center makes a great space for a reception and there are a few options for a ceremony space on the grounds. My husband and I knew that we wanted to have our entire event (ceremony & reception) at the same location to make things easier for ourselves and our guests. The Heritage Center is an excellent option for this. PRICE â The price of the venue rental was very affordable, especially in comparison to many other venues in the greater Kansas City area. Additionally, we were not required to use any vendors off of a âpreferred vendor list,â which many other venues require. This alone saved my husband & I a great deal because we had the freedom to make fiscally responsible choices rather than being forced to choose an overpriced caterer, photographer, DJ, etc. STAFF - The rental coordinator assistant, Susan was very friendly, professional and very helpful. She was on the grounds and available to us during our event if we needed her and was very easy to work with. MISC - Throughout the months prior, there were a couple of situations that caused my husband and I some concern. Several months after we booked the venue, we received an email from the rental coordinator stating that there would be another event on the grounds at the same time as our wedding. We worried that the other event would interrupt or distract from our wedding because our ceremony was technically outside, under the covered porch attached to the Heritage Center. The other event was across the grounds of the farmstead & we were concerned that the other event's sound equipment might cause a distraction during our ceremony or that their guests might wander over into the backdrop of our ceremony. The rental coordinator was not very sympathetic to our questions or concerns, but thankfully there were no issues on our wedding day.Overall, my husband and I had a positive experience with the Venues at 061. The Heritage Center at Mahaffie Stagecoach Stop was a beautiful background for a day that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Reviewed on 22-05-2018

She also gave suggestions on the best lay out for the room, and helped me craft my dream wedding. I got married on the lawn next to the reception hall and it was perfect.

Corrie Gardner(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-10-2017 I could not praise the Mahaffie Stagecoach Stop and Farmstead enough for helping to make our wedding day so memorable! The entire process from beginning to the day of was super easy. Lorna, Susan, and Sarah at the Mahaffie Farmstead were there to answer any silly questions I had or ask me questions about things I'd forgotten about. They were incredibly prompt with their responses and so easy to work with. This venue is incredibly valuable considering all the different photo op landscapes and rustic buildings. We got a ton of different themed shots from our photographers and videographers (corn fields, shaded fenced areas, tree-lined pathways, etc...). They have an open catering policy which gave us so much freedom and they let us bring in our own alcohol. The venue and it's staff made our day perfect. Even our guests and vendors were amazed at how beautiful the venue and property was. I can't recommend this place enough! Reviewed on 24-10-2017

Lydia Webster(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-09-2017 Every little girl dreams about her wedding day and mine came true!! The Heritage Center at The Mahaffie was EVERYTHING and more I could've asked for in a venue. From the moment we walked in, the front office was kind and helpful and up to the very day when they helped to ensure a beautiful event space! One of the reason I loved the Heritage Center was not only for the ambiance but location and ease. I loved (and so did my soon to be mother-in-law ...) that we could visit any time to get a feel for the space and run through how we wanted the day to be. I also loved the fact that this venue allows you to have the ceremony AND reception all in one location! We had our ceremony on the south lawn and it was absolutely stunning followed by cocktail hour under the covered patio and reception inside! Lorna sat down with myself, my future in laws and our wedding coordinator to determine how we wanted everything set up for the day of. It was nice knowing the team at the Heritage Center sets up the tables and chairs for indoor reception and outdoor ceremony, all we had to do was bring in our imagination and decorations! They allowed us to bring in any and all decorations from lighting, centerpieces, eucalyptus chandeliers and evening a couch/chairs for sitting area outside! I loved the flexibility of this venue. I would highly recommend them, they helped my dream wedding to become reality and it will be a day we forever remember... Thank you to the amazing team at The Heritage Center!! Reviewed on 10-10-2017
Cait Sojka(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-01-2017 My husband and I had our wedding and reception at the Mahaffie in August of 2016. It was absolutely perfect! The patio was beautiful for our ceremony, and even in the middle of August it wasn't too hot and the fans helped keep our guests cool. The indoor space was great for the reception, and having tables and chairs provided by the venue made things a lot easier. It was just the right size to accommodate all of our guests--we had about 150. The venue was also great about letting us bring in our own food and drinks, which saved us a lot of money.

We loved having our wedding at Mahaffie. We had our rehearsal dinner on the covered patio, the ceremony in front of the historic house, and the reception in the Heritage Center.

Jennifer C(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-10-2016 We had a great experience with mahaffie. They had the tables and chair set up on time and offered advice on how to make set up easier, such on hanging up lights and how it has previously been done. Susan and her husband were specifically great on the night of my wedding. One thing though is that a few days before my wedding I called and left a message for Lorna about extra set up time and never heard anything back. Other wise everything was great and absolutely beautiful. Most helpful part was getting access to their golf cart, was very helpful on getting my grandparents out to the ceremony site in front of the historic house. Reviewed on 07-10-2016

Shannon Rangel(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-11-2015 We had our ceremony and reception at the Heritage Center at Mahaffie in mid-November. The sun goes down fairly early that time of year. Since we had our wedding on a Friday evening to save money, we had to have our ceremony after it was dark out. We were able to go onto the grounds to do photos before the sun went down, which was great. It was also amazing to have access during business hours to get everything set up. Everyone there was very helpful in answering any questions we had if we stopped by and offered tons of suggestions based on the weddings they've seen at the site. I was a little concerned that our reception photos would turn out dark since the room seemed dim at night. But the room does have lights, plus we added string lights and we had a good photographer, so our photos turned out perfectly lit. We had a great experience with Mahaffie!! Reviewed on 29-01-2016
Michelle Morris(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-10-2015 My now-husband and I had our wedding and reception at Mahaffie and it was perfect! We actually got married on a Friday night and saved some money, so we were able to splurge on some of the additions you can add. We got married in front of the old plantation house and I rode up in a horse-drawn carriage. We are still hearing from people about how cool it was to see me ride in with my dad on the carriage! Overall it was just a beautiful venue and everyone was great to work with. They were patient in answering my questions and humored my desire to have two meetings before the actual wedding day.

Kara Mills(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-09-2013 Everything went great and very smooth! We met with the coordinator weeks before the wedding and helped plan the layout. This venue provide all tables and chairs which was a huge help! They also set up and take down all the table and chairs for you. This place has great character, we really didn't even need much decoration! I'm so happy we found this venue for our wedding.\rThe only negatives I have are\r 1) the \"bridal suite\" is extremely small. They do tell you this when you are booking so it was no surprise for me, you just might want to get ready ate different location. I got did all of my \"getting ready\" pictures, as well as put on my dress, at a different location. Then I undressed for ride over and put my dress on real quick in the suite without pictures. \r 2) The staff was supposed to have all of our chairs and tables up before we got there at 10am to decorate. When we showed up nothing had been done, meaning we had to wait on them before we could start. It did to take them long to get someone in to setup though so we were still able to finish setting up on time! Reviewed on 13-10-2013
Katie Lenhausen(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-09-2013 Our wedding at Mahaffie was just beautiful. We did our ceremony in front of the house but they have several different places you can choose from. The nice thing about Mahaffie is that unlike a lot of other venues, they didn't make us pay an additional fee for having the ceremony on site. The dressing room is small but we set up one of their tables right outside the room since it is in the basement and still private that way my bridesmaids could all have space and we were all together away from everyone else. That was really nice. You have access starting in the morning which is great too. Leah and Shae were amazing. Shae was there during our whole day helping us out. Since it was early September the corn behind the house made a beautiful backdrop and gave it privacy from the road, which can be hard to find doing a wedding this close to the city. The outdoor patio worked well and we were able to seat all of our guests, (we had around 200). All of the tables were set up when we got there exactly as we had planned in a pre-wedding meetings. All in all it was a great time at a great price too! Reviewed on 09-09-2013

Lots of great places for portraits (red bard, stone house, white fence, green crops). The price was really good especially since we did a Monday wedding ($350!!). So for what we paid it was excellent. My only complaint is they just dropped off boxes for us to set up the chairs outside. Maybe it was a misunderstanding but I thought they were going to help set up. However, everything else was lovely! Highly recommend! Reviewed on 06-06-2013
