About this vendor
Hollywood in Hutchinson
Crystal Ballroom at The Burt is a ballroom venue hosting weddings in Hutchinson, KS. This downtown gem has been renovated with care and respect, and now once again offers couples the chance to dance the night away. The property seamlessly blends the old and the new and will delight couples searching for a fully-equipped venue with lots of character.
The Burt Building has stood guard on its corner of historic downtown Hutchinson since its foundation in 1901. Its current owner Lucinda Piligian acquired the building after coming home from Los Angeles, where she had spent time as an actress. Leaving the silver-screen and palm trees of LA, she returned to her beloved Hutchinson and pursued a career in real-estate renovation with her sister Kathy. Their company, Flying Dog Properties, has worked hard to return the Crystal Ballroom to its former glory. Guests will marvel at the elegance of its designer chandeliers sparkling in the space’s ample natural light. The ballroom has retained its exposed brick walls and maple-wood floors, which create a tasteful and rugged tone. The wedding party can unwind in the Foxtrot Longue, and enjoy a quiet moment at its bar with its vintage feel and warm decor. There is a separate get-ready space in the Tango Parlor which provides a cozy atmosphere in which to gather before the ceremony.
Crystal Ballroom at The Burt offers everything needed for a magical celebration that your guests will never forget. Lucinda and her team invite couples to put their personal touch to the venue and offer a variety of furniture and decor rentals. The staff can assist in the setup and cleanup of events, and the ballroom comes ready for a night-long celebration with cutting-edge audiovisual equipment. The management welcome outside vendors and there is even a catering kitchen on-site.

We absolutely loved the Crystal Ballroom at the Burt for our wedding festivities! They were easy to work with and the venue is stunning. Not a ton of decorating needs to be done due to it's natural beauty. Great team, great space. We had a blast!

We were lucky enough to celebrate our sons wedding reception at the beautiful Crystal Ballroom in Hutchinson. I can not emphasize enough how breathtaking this venue is. The pictures are gorgeous but to really understand the beauty of this venue, you need to see it in person. The staff is equally amazing!! They were on site to answer and handled any questions or concerns we had IMMEDIATELY. They were there to see to it that this evening was perfect in every way. The tables, linens and chairs (provided by the venue) were elegant and gave the perfect touch to the ballroom. The separate bridal suite and grooms room is the perfect space for the bridal party to get ready and just be together to talk and laugh and make those once in a lifetime memories. I just can’t say enough about this venue and staff. So, if you want a magical, breathtaking venue for your dream wedding/reception ( or any special event) the Crystal Ballroom at the Burt in Hutchinson is where you need to go!!

Lucinda Piligian was born and raised in Hutchinson. The fourth of the five Henninger girls, she literally grew up in her mother’s dance studio, Judy’s School of Dance. Crowned Miss Hutchinson in 1978, she studied dance for two years at K-State then packed up and headed to Hollywood! Lucinda performed in television commercials, TV shows and movies, but her role as Kelly (Special K) in the blockbuster cult classics Breakin’ and Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo, are her claim to fame. After meeting her husband, Craig, Lucinda left the Hollywood scene to stay home and raise their two children and menagerie of animals.
In 2008, Lucinda bought a home on Main Street in Hutchinson. “I’ve lived in Los Angeles since 1980 – now that my kids are grown, I wanted to reconnect with my family.” Lucinda hired her sister, Kathy Bourell, to help her renovate the historic home. “Working with Kathy sparked a love of renovation in both of us! We are soul sisters. We think alike, talk alike, and share the same love of design, decor, food, family and dogs!”
Starting Flying Dog Properties in 2011, they bought a handful of small homes to fix up and rent. Kathy’s daughter-in-law, Brook Bourell, came on board to help out. “Hutchinson was still suffering from the economy crash and many people had lost their homes to foreclosure. We wanted to provide clean, respectable homes with affordable rent.”
Winwood’s Enchanted Playground, a universally accessible playground built in the River Banks Orchard Park in 2014, was Lucinda’s ultimate way of giving back to the community. “I love Hutchinson. I wanted to do something with real meaning to show how much this town means to me.” Working with the city to plan and build the Shane’s Inspiration Playground further influenced Lucinda to want to do more for Hutchinson.
In March of 2017, Lucinda and Craig bought the building on the SW corner of Avenue B and Main, now known as The Burt. “Ou
