A historic 1946 building reimagined as Manhattan, Kansas’ most versatile event venue — weddings, corporate events, live music & more
Once the home of the AG Press newspaper factory, The Press has been thoughtfully reimagined into one of the Flint Hills’ most distinctive event spaces. Exposed brick, soaring ceilings, and a state-of-the-art sound system meet the warmth of a building with real Manhattan, Kansas history — creating a backdrop unlike anything else in the Little Apple. Whether you’re planning a wedding, a corporate gathering, a community fundraiser, or a night of live music, The Press adapts to your vision.
Located at 1531 Yuma St., just minutes from downtown Manhattan and Kansas State University, The Press comfortably hosts up to 250 guests with the flexibility to scale for smaller, more intimate gatherings.
Say “I do” surrounded by exposed brick, natural light, and a century of Manhattan history. The Press’s reception hall gives your wedding day room to breathe — from ceremony to reception to the last dance — without ever feeling like a rented ballroom.
