The Columbian Theatre — Attraction in Wamego

I am getting married at the Colombian on September 17th. I just went there today to talk wedding stuff and felt compelled to speak my mind. The theater is an beautiful beautiful, spacious, and elegant place to get married in but honesty what has made me so happy with my choice of wedding venue is the Event Coordinator, Tara. From the moment I walked in there to meet her she was friendly, helpful, and very kind. Her personality and willingness to be so helpful for my wedding is what sold me on the Colombian. I could get married in a shack if the people who are renting me the shack are as helpful as Tara has been.

She has been upfront and honest with me about the timeline of the day for the wedding, the bar, the alcohol, champagne, costs and over all just everything.

I go in there as often as I can to get a feel for it and everytime I go in there and talk to Tara about an idea either A. She knows how to make my idea come to life or B. She says hey I have that! (I wanted easels to Hang signs on and she said she had them which saves me money, yay!) overall just incredibly helpful.

When I have questions she answers them in a timely manner and always makes time to work with her brides. I have brought a lot of my family and friends to meet her and see the theater and they all feel the same way I do. And the gal up front at the desk. She's always helpful as well. Everytime I come in there I say "I have another mom with me." She is very good about asking me if I need to meet with Tara or if Id like an official tour to take my family on. Thank you woman up front who's name I cannot remember :) I can't imagine a better person to help me on my wedding day and a more beautiful venue than the Colombian in our small town of Wamego. I get excited when I have to go meet with her because I just absolutely adore her! I mean if I had known her before my wedding Id make her be in my wedding party because she's got it all together, and I am proud to call her not only my event coordinator and trust her to make my day special and care free, but my newly found friend. (Thanks for helping us meet Colombian Theater)

I will obviously update this review after this wedding but I can just say that I picture my fairy tale wedding coming true thanks to the wonderful staff at the Colombian and...

Each year I say "Hoo Haw" can't get better! Each year I am wrong. "Hoo Haw" is without a doubt the funniest production you will ever see. The audience literally roared with laughter during the entire show - the only time we were quiet was when the musical numbers were featured by extremely talented vocalists and the Pott Counte Posse. Our smiles or tears replaced the noise depending on the song. Well, OK. Maybe we were a little rowdy at times then too. Thank you Columbian Theatre for providing this and all the other entertainment you present throuhout the year. After leaving "Hoo Haw" I felt like I had just had a great therapy session. Thanks again for providing the area with such worthy entertainment while promoting all the other great venues...

The Columbian Theatre is an absolute treasure in Wamego! They put on amazing shows featuring local talent, offer workshops where kids can learn about theatre and perform, and have recently been bringing in live music acts—which I love! It’s also a fantastic event space, and their gallery showcases incredible work from local artists. One of the most unique aspects of the theatre is that it houses the last remaining artwork from the 1894 World’s Fair in Chicago, adding a rich historical touch to this vibrant arts hub. Whether you’re looking for top-notch entertainment, arts education, or a truly special venue, the Columbian Theatre is a must-visit. Highly recommend supporting this incredible...
