YaYa's Euro Bistro is a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant in Overland Park, Kansas, with more than 20 years of history hosting private events and celebrations. The name YaYa means grandmother and honors the grandmother of co-founder Paul Khoury, who traveled through Europe as an ambassador's wife gathering recipes and culinary ideas that would shape the restaurant's identity. The menu draws from American, Greek, French, and Italian traditions, with a commitment to freshness and seasonal ingredients sourced from local farmers and purveyors. Four private dining rooms accommodate groups of all sizes — from intimate gatherings to full restaurant buyouts for up to 170 seated or 200 for a cocktail reception.

The Barn at Schwinn Produce Farm sits on a homestead in the Salt Creek Valley of Leavenworth County, Kansas, that has been in the Schwinn family since the late 1800s. The property spans more than 50 acres and is steeped in history — Buffalo Bill Cody's boyhood home stands nearby on the Santa Fe Trail, and the old Hund School, a one-room schoolhouse now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, sits to the south. The Barn itself is 4,500 square feet of traditional white oak Timber Frame construction, assembled with wooden pegs and wedges rather than nails. Inside, that craftsmanship is complemented by computer-controlled LED lighting and a Bose sound system, making the space well suited to weddings, receptions, reunions, corporate gatherings, and church events alike. Radiant heated floors and a full commercial kitchen with ice machine support year-round use. The rental includes 250 chairs, 12 round tables, and 21 rectangular tables, along with a separate bridal cottage.

The Union Pacific Depot is a restored 1888–89 railroad station at 402 North Second Street in downtown Lawrence, Kansas, owned by the City of Lawrence and operated by the Parks and Recreation Department. Union Pacific donated the building to the city in 1990 after rail service ended in 1984, and a full restoration completed in March 1996 preserved the original atmosphere of the depot — including its distinctive half-timbered gable, hipped roof, and 75-foot spire — while adapting it for community and private events. Active rail lines run past the building every 12–15 minutes, giving the setting a rare connection to the history it embodies. An outdoor French-themed flower garden, maintained by the Parks and Recreation staff, surrounds the grounds and serves as an additional gathering area. The facility offers two interior event spaces — the Community Room and the Arden Booth Free State Theatre Room — available together as a single rental. The venue is suited for weddings, receptions, reunions, meetings, and educational seminars, accommodating groups of varying sizes in a historically significant setting at the edge of downtown Lawrence.
