From the reviews
The Highlands was the perfect all inclusive venue for our December 2024 wedding! With a bridal and groom suite, four bathrooms, two bar areas, a private drive/entrance to the kitchen for the caterers, a decoration closet we had full access to and a great wedding coordinator and team!
OK!!! I can not say enough positive stuff about this venue!! Its a new venue right outside of Wichita in Valley Center, 22 minutes from our church ceremony! The owner, Jean, is A M A Z I N G to work with!! Plus, open vendors!! We did not have to worry about being limited on what we wanted for food/alcohol/anything!
This place is absolutely amazing! We had our wedding here in September, and I am so happy we did. The building, and land are just perfect. Jean is so amazing and answers any questions you have. If you’re looking for a venue—look no further. You will not regret picking this place.
We have nothing but positive things to say about The Highlands! Jean, Aubrey, Kaitlyn, and the entire staff were amazing to work with and helped make our day run smoothly.
Getting married at The Highlands
The Highlands comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at The Highlands
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at The Highlands — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
