How to Host an Intimate Yet Luxurious Wedding at The Mint in Lenexa, KS

There’s something special about smaller weddings. They let you focus on connection, conversation, and the people who matter most. At The Mint, we love helping couples create that sense of closeness without giving up the beauty or energy of a grand celebration. Our Benjamin Hall is often where that magic happens.

Once the bank’s drive-thru lanes, it’s now a bright, modern hall with its own bar and patio. It’s large enough for a full ceremony and dinner yet intimate enough that every guest feels part of the story.

Start with a Ceremony That Feels Personal

Benjamin Hall’s flexible layout makes it easy to stage your ceremony with personality. Some couples line the aisle with candles to highlight its clean architectural lines. Others use soft uplighting that shifts as the music changes. With room for 250 guests, you can seat everyone comfortably without losing that sense of togetherness.

When the vows are over, the glass garage doors open to reveal the private patio. It’s a smooth, cinematic moment and one of our favorite transitions.

Turn the Patio into Your Own Cocktail Lounge

Once those doors open, the energy shifts instantly. Servers can greet guests with signature cocktails as the sun sets, and you can set up a few high-top tables or lounge furniture for conversation. The patio’s built-in flow lets you enjoy outdoor mingling without leaving the privacy of your event.

It’s also a perfect spot for first photos as a married couple while your guests enjoy drinks just a few steps away.

Dine and Dance in One Stylish Space

When it’s time for dinner, guests return inside to a transformed room. Benjamin Hall’s lighting can be adjusted to match your colors, warm amber for a romantic dinner, cooler tones for dancing later in the night. The hall’s private bar keeps service smooth, and the open layout means you can keep speeches, dinner, and dancing all in one place without reconfiguring the room mid-event.

For couples who love simplicity, this is the setup that feels effortless: one space, one flow, no interruptions.

Behind-the-scenes comfort That Makes the Day Easy

Getting ready is part of the experience, and our suites make it feel relaxed. Upstairs, the bridal lounge offers room for hair and makeup, a private sitting area, and a walk-in shower that always impresses during tours. Downstairs, the Groom Saloon feels more like a speakeasy lounge than a waiting room. It’s a comfortable hideaway for the wedding party and a fun spot for pre-ceremony photos.

When everything you need is under one roof, there’s less rushing and more breathing room, exactly what couples appreciate most on their wedding day.

Luxury That Works on Any Scale

Smaller weddings still deserve the same quality of service and design as large ones. Every wedding at The Mint includes twelve hours of access, tables, 350 gold Chiavari chairs, and our on-site team, which handles all setup and venue maintenance during the day.

For catering, we work with trusted partner caterers who know the space and deliver consistently high service. The bar is fully in-house, with flexible packages that let you design a menu that suits your celebration, from champagne towers to custom cocktails inspired by your story.

Create a Celebration That Feels Entirely Yours

An intimate wedding is about presence, the laughter across the table, the quiet conversations, the joy in having your favorite people all in one room. Benjamin Hall gives you space to do that with sophistication and ease. You can keep everything in one setting or pair the hall with our Main Hall for a grander dinner later in the evening.

Whatever your vision looks like, we’ll help you build a day that flows beautifully and feels like you.
