Jordan Retzlaff(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-11-2022 The Historic Post Office was amazing. It has the perfect elegant, vintage, classy vibe we were looking for when looking at vendors. Our favorite part was the speakeasy. We also loved the flow of how the wedding guests would get to see the whole venue by starting in the garden area, then going to the speakeasy for cocktail hour and lastly up to the ballroom for the reception. It was also the perfect size for our 60 ish wedding. Lastly, we really enjoyed the getting ready suites that are also at the venue. You literally have everything there so you don’t have to travel anywhere else on your wedding day. Next, Brooke and her team were amazing. She always answered my many questions within a good timeframe. She also made us feel very confident that we were in good hands on our wedding day. We trusted her with a lot and she did not disappoint. Lastly, the venue itself was just absolutely amazing. Our photos and video we received came out extraordinary. We had an incredible photographer but the venue speaks for itself. Our photographer had so many options/locations to take photos of us. Also, we didn’t need to decorate a lot because of what the venue already offers. You will not be disappointed with this venue and team. They are extremely organized and they communicate so well. They made our day amazing and we couldn’t ask for anything else. Reviewed on 08-01-2023
Abigail White(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 29-10-2022 The Historic Post Office was one of the best decisions we could have made when planning our wedding. We loved everything about having them as our venue. Everyone who works there is so helpful, professional and kind. Our guests were raving about how unique and classy it is! As an Ottawa local, I was so happy to have my wedding in my hometown. Every time I think about HPO it's hard to pick my favorite part. We got married in the garden area and it was absolutely gorgeous. The ballroom is the most beautiful and open space. And the speakeasy speaks for itself with the coolest and classiest vibes. If you're considering booking with them - just do it! Reviewed on 13-11-2022
MIRANDA HOPKINS(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-09-2022 If I could give HPO a 10-star review I would! We got married at the HPO on 9/24 and it was by far one of the best days of our lives. With a husband that is not impressed by much, he was floored by how beautiful it was. The vendor lists they offer, to the Ă la carte list for packages, to the staff, you could not ask for better. I worked with Madeline and let me tell you, SHE IS THE BEST!! She was always responsive, thoughtful and willing to do whatever we needed to make our day special. I can't express enough how much she took off my plate. I know for sure without her, our day would not have been as amazing as it was. I would absolutely recommend HPO for any events :) Reviewed on 05-10-2022

It is a gorgeous venue with a group of amazing professionals who were more than helpful. I was the MOB with lots of questions…….and every text and email was answered promptly with perfect detail.

Wedding day I was full of peace knowing that everything was taken care of thanks to Brooke! Everyone I spoke with and worked with at the Historic Post Office was incredibly kind and had great wisdom to offer as I put the event together. On top of incredible staff, the venue itself is truly a hidden gem of Kansas. This venue space has wonderful tall ceilings, which gives the space an open feeling that a lot of other indoor venues lack. It is very modern and has minimalist art deco details that decorate all throughout! There is also a beautiful outdoor garden that could be used for your main space or a private first look.

JESSICA ALLEN(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-10-2020 The Historic Post Office was absolutely amazing! The venue is gorgeous and elegant. The speakeasy is sophisticated and hip. The combination of the two made for the perfect wedding day. We received so many compliments from our guests on the choice of venue. The day flowed seamlessly between ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Our main contact, Tony Fisher, always made himself available to answer all our questions. He was so vital to success of our wedding planning, especially during covid. The venue coordinator, Brooke Fearka, walked us through everything the week of the wedding and then did an amazing job coordinating the day of with her partner Sage. The day could not have gone smoother and thats all thanks to the fantastic staff at the Historic Post Office. I recommend the Historic Post Office to anyone considering choosing them. It was possibly the best decision of our wedding planning. Reviewed on 24-12-2020
Emily Gentle(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-09-2020 First off, the Venue itself is STUNNING!! As for the staff, I cannot say enough good things! Andrea, Brooke & Sage were hands on from the moment the bridal party and I arrived. Making sure all the little details were taken care of and us girls had all we needed!! I had many detailed & pleasant conversations with Tony as we navigated through rescheduling and restrictions with a Covid wedding. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend this venue and staff to every engaged couple. There isn’t a detail we would or could have changed to make the day any better!! :) Emily Ginavan Reviewed on 17-11-2020

Sam Johnson(bride)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-04-2021 Unfortunately, The Historic Post Office was our dream wedding for our wedding on NYE. After sudden and suspicious change of ownership, the original staff was changed and the price of the venue skyrocketed \"due to 2021 price changes.\" The new management was unwilling to work with us and attempted to change our original contract and charge us almost $6000 more than our original contractual agreement. Due to their unforeseen \"new 2021 charges\" in the middle of a pandemic, my partner and I were forced to completely change the date of our wedding. Disappointment is an understatement. Beautiful space, but untrustworthy new management. Reviewed on 10-07-2020
Mercedes Jones(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-12-2019 The venue was great for our wedding. Communication was frustrating at times leading up to the actual day. However, the execution by the staff was exceptional. They really made our dreams become a reality. Reviewed on 19-01-2020
Carrie King(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-09-2019 Having our wedding here was the best decision we made! TJ (and the staff) made it effortless and everyone was so quick to help us with anything we needed. My husband and I weren't stressed (which I was worried we would be) and we were completely taken care of from the moment we arrived for the day to the moment we left. We still have family and friends telling us it was one of the most beautiful venues they've been to for a wedding. (PS definitely take advantage of the honeymoon suite right across the street! So perfect!) Reviewed on 16-12-2019
Courtney Inlow(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-10-2019 My husband and I just held our wedding ceremony and reception at The Historic Post Office on 10-5-19. This was the best decision we made during our wedding planning. For starters, the venue is absolutely beautiful and unique. Everywhere you look, you notice a new piece of detail. We did very little decorating, because the space truly speaks for itself. We had several guests throughout the night rave to us about how amazing the venue was. My husband was very excited about the groom's room with a large tv so they could watch college football while getting ready. The bridal suite was beautiful and elegant, came with mimosas and even an emergency kit should we have forgotten anything. What made this venue all the more special was the staff. I cannot say enough good things about TJ, the event coordinator who worked with us since day one. We owe everything to him honestly. He was available whenever we needed him, even a year in advance. For the entirety of our rehearsal and our wedding day, TJ was the most helpful person. He met every request any of us could have made with a \"we'll make it happen\" attitude and made sure everything was exactly as my husband and I had hoped. He was there to make sure everything ran smoothly and that nobody in my family so much as had to lift a finger. He completed all the decorating of the space and met us the following morning with all of our belongings packed up and helped us load them into our car. The Post Office also provided a one on one assistant for the day, Jamie. She was amazing and by our side all day to make our plates, get us drinks and to help me carry my bouquet or dress. All night, we had guests approach us with how impressed they were with the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff here. I am so truly grateful that we were able to host our wedding at The Historic Post Office! Reviewed on 16-10-2019
Bailey Mcgowan(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-07-2019 I honestly don't even know where to start. This was the absolute BEST venue. TJ the event coordinator truly goes out of his way to make every detail perfect. He never one time made me feel like I was bothering him with all of my calls and text messages for a year of planning! He made himself available whenever I needed him. He even took time out of his day the next day after the wedding to DELIVER all of our decorations to our house because we couldn't come back to the venue to get them. Also this venue is so incredibly beautiful! It has every amenity you could ask for and then some. We had a day of attendant that helped us out SO much! She had our drinks and food at the table before we came in, held my dress and bouquet multiple times and even got my flip flops for me when my feet hurt! She was truly amazing. All of my guests raved all night about how perfect the space was. I think I will be back for some other occasions if not for me than some friends getting married!!! I will recommend them to everyone!

I'll never forget the night a dream was put on my heart to build my first venue in Louisburg, The Haven Event Space. The Haven Event Space became a reality and was quickly an award winning top Kansas City venue! The immediate success of my first venue made it clear I HAD to open another one! I found the incredible Historic Post Office in Ottawa, and the moment I saw it, I knew... this is it! After a small renovation to freshen up this already amazing space, we rebranded and opened as The Lincoln Event Space. I can't wait to meet you and show you around this amazing space.
