Industry Spotlight: Topeka Social

January 20, 2025

There is a new venue in the heart of Topeka. It is a modern & industrial wedding venue located near the century old Topeka train station, called Topeka Social. I scheduled a tour to see their incredible space with owner, Nicolle. It is always so fun getting to meet and collaborate with other amazing industry professionals. Topeka Social has 25,000 square feet of rentable space, incorporating three specific buildings: Whitehall; Jordan’s and Venue 518.

Whitehall

Whitehall is a large space and an expansive event space with white walls, a tall black ceiling, and large windows that allow for an abundance of natural light.  Those windows are gorgeous! This event venue also features an 18-foot LED wall, a large stage, and high-end audio and lighting systems.  There is a kitchen right off this large room, making it a wonderful space for cocktail hour or dinner.

Venue 518

This space incorporates big city vibes with the historic brick warehouse. It is the perfect blend of industrial chic and historic charm. The iconic Airstream bar is insanely cute. The exposed and painted ductwork along with huge garage doors make this a special spot in the heart of Topeka.

It is a historical space, but refurbished for the modern wedding. This space holds 150 guests and is the perfect place for small receptions with cocktails, appetizers and desserts.

We interviewed our Industry Spotlight: Topeka Social, and owner Nicolle.

What makes Topeka Social special ?

We love our 100 year old historic brick warehouses.  When my husband, purchased them, his vision was to preserve their character while adapting them for modern use. 

We started our project with Topeka Vendors Market, which opened in 2020 and once that was off the ground, we moved to restoring the rest of the block. 

Those who appreciate a modern edgy aesthetic will appreciate the charm of Topeka Social. Our industrial chic warehouse space is a blank canvas, customizable to match your style.

We are a high capacity venue and if you’re hosting a large-scale event, we even offer discounts when you book multiple spaces. 

Our venue is located in downtown Topeka, so it’s close to hotels, restaurants, and just a quick drive from Lawrence, Kansas City, and Manhattan – plus we’ve got plenty of parking for your guests.

We offer a lot of flexibility in planning your event. You can bring your own alcohol and catering, or go with one of our tailored packages—it’s totally up to you. And you’ll love our iconic Airstream bar. 

Our 40-foot stage and 18-foot LED wall are the perfect addition to anything from epic parties to polished corporate presentations. If you have a band, keynote speaker or DJ, they can take your event to the next level. 

We can provide add-ons like lounge areas, game rooms, or cocktail spaces to really make your event unforgettable.  And our high ceilings and ample space make it easy to accommodate inflatables and other big rentals.
