Eagles Landing at Lake Olathe was the perfect place for our wedding. The option of outdoor or indoor ceremony at one location is very convenient. The view is absolutely beautiful. So many great photo ops. Bride and groom dressing rooms are very nice. Spacious kitchen area. There are lots of lighting options. We used the audio/vision option and played our own downloaded music to save on a DJ. We received numerous compliments on the venue.
The people from the venue were very easy to work with. They were helpful and able to answer all of our questions.
We originally rented for the full day (Saturday) but since we would not be able to get in until 10:00am that day, we rented Friday evening for rehearsal and set up. Tables and chairs are provided. However, if you have your ceremony outside you have to bring your own chairs as the ones they have are for indoor only. They do not provide linens.

There were so many things that I liked about this venue, but a couple things that I would have liked to know prior to booking with them.
The things that I really liked were, being able to bring your own drinks/food, the venue is very flexible with the amount of people you can have, it was very affordable to pay by the hour and you can start decorating the venue as early as 10am!
With all of that being said, the communication was not the best. To start off, I had a really hard time getting ahold of the person to book the venue. Then there was not a lot of communication between booking and the wedding day. She has told me that a week prior to the wedding we would do a final "walk through" to make sure everything was squared away, but I had to reach out to her in order for that to happen. Even after the final walkthrough (which was just a phone conversation), there was still a misunderstanding of when last call was. The security guard tried to close the bar down 30 minutes prior to the time we has discussed. The last thing that I wish they would have made clear was that last call meant all drinks needed to be finished. My interpretation of last call is that it is when you can get your last drink and have time to finish drinking it. Since there was this confusion, I had a lot of guest have to throw away their mostly full drinks.
Overall, I would recommend this venue as long as you are aware of the last call situation and the understanding that they do not communicate a whole lot.
Any questions?

We held our wedding here and loved the experience. Working with everyone at Mahaffie was great, especially Lorna, the Rental Manager, and our rental assistant, Paige. We held an outdoor wedding ceremony and an indoor reception on the South Lawn. Having everything at one location made it all so easy for our guests. We also rented the horse-drawn wedding carriage, making the day extra special for my bride. If you're looking for an affordable and historic venue, then we can't recommend The Heritage Center at Mahaffie highly enough.

Communications with the site were great all along the way. The site is exceptionally beautiful, inside and out. A great place for photographs at any time of the year. The kitchen, bathrooms, and dressing room were close and perfect for our use. I do wish there was a restroom in the basement close to the dressing room, however. Ease of unloading/loading our items was good. The covered patio was perfect for overflow. The only complaint I have for this site is that it's open to the public until later in the day. Therefore, we couldn't set up in public walkways until they were closed. That put us behind in some ways, even with one of our vendors. Seems like our fee should cover that they are closed for that day...or at least close to the public earlier in the day (i.e. Noon). Otherwise, definitely a 5-star location.

ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH THIS VENUE. The day I laid eyes on this venue was the day I knew that I would be getting married here. My husband was adamant that we would not be getting married outside but when he saw this venue he decided as well that we needed to get married outside. The venue is stunning with fantastic lake side views, it was so incredibly clean, organized, and the whole team was extremely kind. The only issue I would mention is they were not able to get outside chairs for the wedding although we booked with them as soon as possible and were hoping that they would have them by the time of our wedding (they mentioned they were in the process of trying to buy a set) BUT with that being said I would still 100000% book with them again! I have recommended them countless times and will continue to do so

Beautiful location, great parking, easy loading and unloading. We had our wedding and reception at The Heritage Center. The day of our wedding it poured and poured we were to have the wedding in the covered porch area. The staff was so helpful in making sure the weather played no part in our big day! Even with the rain our day was perfect. We also loved the signage they had at the front desk with our names! Lorna and Paige are the best and very easy to work with!! Lorna helped us to find all of our vendors and we can't recommend Hyvee and Victoria enough. Paige was just the sweetest and was very helpful with the heaters and garage doors for pictures and during the ceremony.

We loved working with Mahaffie and honestly very little complaint at all whatsoever. The only thing that really could’ve been improved for me at times was the communication. Some times we would email and receive a response in one or two days and more often than not we would email and never receive a response. Everything ended up perfect but this did cause a little bit of extra worry leading into the day.

We had planned for the ceremony to be outside on the lawn, but the weather did not play nice. The staff worked with us to rearrange the tables so we could have the ceremony and reception in the same space. I appreciated the professionalism of the staff.

We booked with Eagles Landing at Lake Olathe, and we're glad we did! There are several reasons why we picked it—we could get ready onsite (small bridal party) while decorating that morning, beautiful outdoor area for a ceremony next to the lake, new and modern construction with floor-to-ceiling windows for a reception, plenty of walkable locations for photos (there are waterfalls!), and an open catering and alcohol policy. It was the most affordable and most efficient wedding location for our guest count (about 120) in the Kansas City area (trust me, we hunted!) My only criticism—and why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5—is that if you're a planner and like to get ahead on things like me, the vendor lead can be hard to get in touch with. Once it was the month-of for us, she was more responsive, but any earlier than that, I had to send multiple emails or call the front office to track her down. Overall, though, we had a great experience! If you have a mid-size guest count (no bigger than 150) and a small bridal party (no bigger than 3 on each side), you might consider this venue as your one-stop-shop—you won't regret it!

We got married at Eagles Landing. It was absolutely beautiful. All our guests thought the space was fantastic. Worth the money and then some especially with the view of the water. Many remarked that you don’t feel like you’re in the city. Our guests also really loved being able to use the outside space and being able to spread out. We didn’t feel we had to do much decorating as the windows provide a fabulous backdrop all day and night.
Lorna was so easy to work with leading up to our big day! And also very kind.

We got married on 09/2021 at Eagle's Landing. We received so many compliments on it. It is the PERFECT place for an indoor-outdoor celebration. We also used the beaver creek shelter on the park property for the rehearsal dinner/family picnic the day before. One thing to note: they do not provide chairs for outdoor ceremonies.
Pros: Affordable considering venue size/beauty, open vendor policies (allowed us to self-cater and bring in our own alcohol), plenty of places for scenic wedding photos
Cons: No opportunity to do a wedding rehearsal the day before, nothing is provided other than tables and indoor chairs (though perfect for DIY brides like me)

Olathe Community Center is nice venue for the wedding. The price is affordable and the staff is nice and helpful. The process for renting is easy and the staff will help you whenever you need. Our wedding was at the park and it is a nice place for marriage ceremony and the reception was inside. We recommend to rent this place if you want to have a nice and affordable place in Olathe.

I am so late in writing this review! Last September in the midst of all the Covid craziness, we had our wedding at Eagles Landing at Lake Olathe. The venue and the grounds were stunning! Our special day, which had been postponed from an earlier date, was spectacular. We had the ceremony at the atrium with the lake as our backdrop, then a cocktail reception on the deck and the wedding reception inside the venue. The staff at Eagle's Landing was awesome and so easy to work with! This was the perfect venue and we had the perfect day!

Venue 061 and the Eagles Landing was an amazing venue for our wedding. Not only is the venue absolutely beautiful; it is also right off of the water. The venue coordinator, Lorna, was wonderful to work with. Especially, during COVID-19, I ended up having to change wedding plans about 3 times. They were more than flexible with me each time with changing the date, time of the wedding, number of guests and table arrangements, and more. We were so grateful that we chose the Eagles Landing for our wedding.

We were the second couple to book our wedding at Eagles Landing when it's construction was announced. Being the bride, I was a little nervous planning a wedding without it even being built. I am so happy that we did! We got married in early November and we absolutely loved the venue for both our ceremony and reception . The venue itself, along with the lake, patio, windows, and fireplace offered great opportunities for pictures. We have gotten so many compliments from our guests about the venue and how perfect it was. The rooms where the bridal party got ready were very roomy. The staff through Venues at 061 were pretty helpful. Lorna was a little difficult to communicate with but I loved working with Heather. She was so helpful and nice.

We were in a unique, and difficult spot, recently when our original venue closed unexpectedly. After some extensive research and a referral from our caterer, we settled on Eagles Landing in Olathe (Venues at 061).
It was Colleen at Ambrosia Cafe in Overland Park that referred us. We were very pleased with the staff as well as the pricing. In all it was an ideal ending to quite the wedding process.
From the outdoor ceremony to the deck overlooking the lake, it was just perfect for what we needed. We're happy to refer anyone to this venue and can't wait to see more memories enjoyed there in the future.

We had such a wonderful experience with the Heritage Center at the Mahaffie! The Venues at 061 have multiple spaces to offer, and we're glad we chose the Heritage Center! It was perfect for our reception. We wanted a laid back reception that was still fun and beautiful. They got the job done and then some. We had a basketball-themed wedding, so aside from our themed decor, we only added some string lights and florals and it was perfect. Guests can be inside or out, which makes it great for all weather. It's also great in the daytime and night - what more could you want? We could not be happier with our venue choice and the team there - thank you for helping make our day wonderful!

The heritage center at mahaffie was a fantastic wedding reception space. I did not have the ceremony at this space, but all of my guests loved the reception area.

The grounds are so beautiful and the centers reception hall and patio were exactly the rustic look we were wanting! Not to mention it is very budget friendly!

The Heritage Center at Mahaffie is a one stop shop. When my fiance and I were looking at venues we loved that the Heritage Center could accommodate having the ceremony, reception, and our pictures all on site without having to move locations. We also loved the option of the covered patio as a backup plan for inclement weather. The park across the street at the Olathe Community Center was great for doing bridesmaid photos as we did not do a first look before the ceremony. Susan was incredibly helpful and patient throughout the process, Lorna was helpful but not in a very expedient manner. There are some inefficiencies the site could easily workout by having a "tip sheet" of various questions that are commonly asked that would eliminate needing to contact their staff for clarification (i.e. table sizes and recommend table cloth sizes for floor length, etc.). I would highly recommend the Heritage Center for a cost effective and gorgeous spot to host your wedding.

The Heritage Center at Mahaffie was the perfect venue for the start of our forever! Lorna was a great help through the whole process and made sure all our needs and wants were met. The venue itself is beautiful!! We got married outside in front of the farmhouse, but they made sure we had a backup plan (the covered patio) in case it rained. We didn’t end up needing it but felt very taken care of! We were able to bring in our own caterers, tables and chairs were provided. All at an incredibly reasonable price for our wedding of about 180 but ended with around 150.

We could not have picked a better venue for our wedding day. Having our ceremony on the patio was a dream with the sunlight glowing through the trees behind us and the beautiful greenery outside. The reception space has a rustic charm, and it's great that we had the freedom to decorate it the way we wanted to. The staff were very helpful and accommodating throughout the wedding planning process and especially the day of the wedding. All of the chairs and tables were set up for us, which was incredibly convenient. We highly recommend the Mahaffie Heritage Center to anyone looking for a charming, convenient, and affordable event space.

My husband and I had our wedding and reception at Heritage Center at Mahaffie in August 2017. We couldn’t ask for a better place to celebrate!! I am originally from Olathe, KS and both my husband and I live in NJ (where he is from) and we have friends from all over the states. Olathe provided the perfect location for our friends and family to come together and celebrate. The planning of the wedding went seamlessly considering I was in NJ and my mom and both of my sisters and my cousin did a lot of setting up, and confirming the wedding process for us! We couldn’t ask for a better day - not one hiccup or drama that needed to be resolved. My in-laws and family and friends from out of state were in awe in how beautiful the location was. Especially that we could all walk over to the reception within few steps! Thank you for letting us celebrate our special moment at Heritage Center!

I loved the team they had at venues 061! They were very responsive and helpful when booking my event, any questions I had, and the setup was whatever we wanted. It was also a great price if you’re looking for a medium sized wedding because they have all types of venues. Mahaffie has been a great help and I would highly recommend. Hopefully my guest feel the same!

We got married at the heritage center this May! Our ceremony was on the south lawn and we used the patio and indoor space for a reception! It was absolutely perfect and exactly what we wanted!!! So many places to take great photos. They do not allow alcohol to be consumed prior to having security present, so make sure to tell your wedding party to avoid conflict. Lorna was awesome to work with and so accommodating! Highly recommend!

We had our wedding at the Heritage Center at Mahaffie in November of 2017. This place was easy to decorate into our dream wedding. The wood beams and the fire place inside made the perfect setting. There was plenty of room for dancing and hanging out. We had our ceremony on the patio outside and the fire pits going to help bring in a little heat. We couldn’t have been happier with how our wedding turned out. The scenery made it beautiful for sunset pictures and we got to walk around and take pictures by the barn. The bridal party was able to get ready downstairs during the entire day. They provided the tables, chairs and bar tables. It fit perfectly within our budget and it was such a magical night and we couldn’t have been happier with the venue.

The staff at the Mahaffie Center was fabulous. Everything was setup exactly like we agreed to. Attendees said how beautiful the venue was and easy to find. I was 100% happy with the venue choice. There are many different options available and they were flexible as I made changes.

The venue was a blank canvas and the carriage rides were a huge hit! It was a little expensive for the amount of time you got the venue (set up starting at 10am, out by 1230 am). The staff were great and accommodating though!!

Overall the wedding was great but we had some bumpy patches along the road. I had hoped the stagecoach would have been better because the reason being my tour of the venue was amazing. The experience was okay but I don't think I'd reccomend it. There's alot of miscommunication. First of all trying to get ahold of a rental coordinator to ask questions is hard. It would sometimes take Lorna a couple days and it seemed like nobody else knew rental questions and pricing..that's frustrating. My coordinator had to get a little firm because they wouldn't schedule our rehersal and when they finally did ANOTHER bride was there!! Yes, hers was a little earlier but they still ran into our time. At our final walk through I was told I could leave our stuff as long as it wasn't furniture in the bridal suite. Nobody communicated with the staff so when I tried to bring my stuff they almost didn't let me. Luckily I was able too because Lorna answered and said yes. It was just frustrating the communication. Not to mention when I went to pay my final amount I was trying to ask questions and the body language just made me feel like like I was bothering her. In wedding planning communication is a big thing and my expectations were just not met. Not to mention my family even felt like susan was rude while we were setting up.
