Abe & Jake's Landing

Abe & Jake's Landing is a privately bookable event venue in downtown Lawrence, Kansas, set in a renovated historic industrial building beside the Kansas River. Its distinctive character comes from exposed beams, finished wood, natural stone and tall windows overlooking the water, giving organisers a memorable setting for weddings, receptions, corporate events, fundraisers and other celebrations.

The venue offers a large main event space with a stage, dance floor and custom bar, as well as a second room with its own stage and fireplace. Two private suites give guests space to prepare or take a break, while a patio provides an outdoor area beside the river. Layouts can be adapted to suit different gatherings, and the team can discuss room arrangements and prepare a floor plan with organisers.

Couples can hold both their ceremony and reception at the venue. Ceremony seating can be arranged in front of the stage or along the north-facing window wall, with garden chairs provided. For business events and other occasions, in-house sound equipment, screens and projectors are available. Bar packages, linens and selected decor rentals can also be arranged.

Food is supplied by an organiser's chosen licensed, insured catering company rather than by the venue. Abe & Jake's provides bar staff and supports practical event-day arrangements, including setting out tables and chairs and welcoming vendors. Organisers can book the space for one event per day and contact the venue to discuss a tour, availability and event requirements.
