The Cider Gallery is an amazing event space. It is perfect for so many types of gatherings, including the final rehearsals of our summer music camps! It has a great stage, plenty of room for all of us, and its pretty cool that it is also a beautiful art gallery. Jennifer and the wonderful staff have been a joy to work with over the years. Cant say enough!!
My husband and I had our wedding at the Cider Gallery this summer (2019), and I cannot put into words how great everyone was to work with! Jennifer answered probably a million emails from me in the 10 months between booking the gallery and leading up to the day of our wedding. Any question I had, I emailed her (sometimes multiple times in one day, oops!) and she always responded with helpful information.The venue itself is GORGEOUS, and required very few decorations aside from table decor. The space is also very well-suited for a wedding, as there is a great dance floor area and plenty of room for lots of guests plus tables for food. The outdoor area is also beautiful, and the buildings location in downtown Lawrence is just picture perfect!I researched several wedding venues in Lawrence, but I only visited one--the Cider Gallery--and I knew right away that I wanted to get married here. Absolutely no regrets! Thank you Jennifer and your team for everything--I cannot recommend this venue highly enough!
Fabulous place, super friendly staff. Great to watch the Supernatural final series premiere! #spnfamily
Fantastic location for hosting a formal dinner event. Great Christmas party LEMA!
Had the privilege of hosting a musical performance at Cider and it was more perfect than I ever could have hoped, thanks to Jennifers generosity and accommodations. The space is lovely and set the scene wonderfully for our intimate performance. They allowed us ample time to set up beforehand, which was much appreciated. Everyone on staff is kind and accommodating. I will certainly take future event plans their way!
Best place to hold an event. Great atmosphere and lovely people to work with.
Beautiful artwork cozy little venue
Amazing place to view art. Jen and AJ are amazing. Above the gallery there is also a coworking space that is free on Wednesdays. It is called Million Cups because there is a presentation early in the morning and coffee is provided. I encourage everyone to check it out.
The Cider Gallery was a wonderful location for our May wedding and reception. We had the ceremony outside on the stage with chairs on the lawn. Our reception was inside the gallery, where we had a dance floor, round tables for about 150 guests, and a head table for 16. Jennifer was incredibly helpful and responsive to our questions throughout the preparations. She helped tie the whole event together and communicated well with our caterer, band, decorator, and florist to make the whole day run smoothly. The Cider Galleryorganized the bar, provided bartenders, and did a specialty cocktail that our guests still mention! Our whole day had a wonderful ambience and was perfect for our photos. All in all, it was a wonderful venue that I absolutely recommend to anyone who is looking for their wedding spot!
Great event space!
Great workspace - and the technology all works seamlessly together, which is VERY important. The printer billing was always accurate, another important point. I found the wireless speed to be some of the best in Lawrence. Its also nice to have the shredding on-site. You will want to bring good headphones, though - the area around the drop in table can get a bit noisy, because theres simply more people on that side of the office. The artwork is wonderful.
We had an INCREDIBLE spring wedding reception at the Cider Gallery, and Jennifer was so wonderful to work with! The decor, lighting, and ambiance was just perfect. The dance floor was fantastic - located directly next to the open garage door allowing the cool night air to flow in as we grooved!! The only factor that I wish we had planned a bit better was the placement of the speeches. Id recommend having your speeches during the cocktail hour on the outside patio. All guests will be able to see the speaker more easily there. I LOVE this space (and the neat art exhibitions - the one that happened to be up for our wedding was so colorful and went beautifully with our centerpieces!), highly recommend it, and would definitely use it again for future events!!! Thank you, Jennifer and team!!!
The Cider Gallery was the perfect mix of elegant and casual and I cant imagine having had our big day anywhere else! We got married in the courtyard and had our reception inside. We received several compliments on the venue and the space is so beautiful it really takes the pressure off as far as decorating and ambience. Jennifer and her team were extremely accommodating, professional, and flexible every step of the way from the seating chart to the bar menu. I couldnt recommend it enough and it was one of the easiest and best decisions we made when planning our wedding.
Its a great workspace for someone like me. I use the shared conference room to meet with clients. They have a great scheduling system for booking it, space is always clean and on site printing is wonderful when I forget to bring something.As a DJ, Ive also done a couple of events downstairs in the event space Its a great space for a wedding reception, corporate party, or any similar function. Staff has always been great to work with and very helpful!
Wonderfully eclectic space, perfect for easy conversations and crowd mingling. Truly enjoyed working with Jennifer as she reduced my work because of her expertise and sound advice. Highly suggest the location and atmosphere for any event.
A great space to work. Many options for leases and great services, amenities, and on site support staff. Tenants are friendly but respectful of a work environment. Great neighborhood with lots of energy.
Fantastic environment and usually curated with some of the best local artists work. Small bar available, clean restrooms and open outdoor space to relax. Near great food (Bon Bon) and drink (The Lawrence Brewing Co).
Amazing beautiful place very placent
We used Cider Gallery as the venue for our wedding reception and could not have been more pleased. Jennifer was super easy to work with, and was very attentive and flexible to any of our questions or requests throughout the entire planning process.The venue looks great on its own, let alone decorated for the wedding, and drew very positive feedback from all of our guests. We had an outdoor cocktail hour in the grassy area adjacent to the building, and then moved indoors for dinner and dancing.We underestimated the amount of alcohol need to serve all of our guests, but the Cider Gallery team jumped into action and helped provide additional stock from reserves they had, so none of the guests ever noticed.Everything was simple from the set-up to break down, and we would certainly recommend the Cider Gallery to anyone in Lawrence who was looking for a unique and romantic location to set your wedding apart. Their team was incredible helpful and attentive, the location is easy for guests to get in and out, and the set-up lends itself very well to make your wedding be whatever you want it to be.
So pretty inside!
Great art works. Enough room (possible fund raising, wedding-smaller sized), Nice leisurely lawn.
Ive been a Tenant for several years now. The facilities are alway clean, bright, and vibrant. Vibrant from my fellow Tenants. Ive watched them grow their businesses. Its new energy every day. Everyone is always respectful of one another. Yes, some late Friday afternoons a lot of social interaction bubbles up, we like each other.
A little confusing but the lady I found was super helpful and friendly.
We hosted a school event at The Cider Gallery and it went great! Jennifer and her team are professional and do a great job of helping plan and execute events. The setting along with featured artwork is such a fabulous combination! I definitely recommend them for your next event.
Exactly the workspace I was looking for! Perfect for meetings with clients and the occasional break from my home office. Gorgeous gallery and office space with character!
Fun place, great venue.
Its a beautiful location with a highly talented and helpful staff. They made sure our wedding day was flawless as well as fun.
TL;DR: great space for a wedding - noisy coworking space with immature management(see owners response below)Updated Response to Owner: Adam, you are the office manager, it is *literally* your only job to maintain a professional and productive environment for your clients up to and including noise policing. You accusing me of lacking a spine because I didnt confront your tenants is amazingly childish and petulant. I wear noise cancelling headphones because my clients and I value my time and I my work(software engineering) requires deep focus. The fact that youre suggesting confrontation between tenants rather than addressing issues brought to you should send a clear warning to any prospective tenants reading this that you are essentially just there to take their money without managing the space. Thanks for the smarmy response attacking my personality instead of actually addressing the issue like an adult.Original: Ive been renting a space at the farm table in Cider Gallerys coworking space for the past few months and I consider it a waste of money. The tenants currently occupying the offices adjacent to the farm table are incredibly noisy and disrespectful - they literally shout at each other through the walls of their closed door offices. Ive started working from a coffee shop downtown and its been much quieter than Cider Gallery, surprisingly. When I brought up the issue of noisy tenants to the office manager, Adam, he never addressed it. Even with noise-cancelling headphones I found the other tenants to be accosting. Your mileage may vary, but I found Cider Gallery offices difficult to work from.
Their art installations are always very well done, and feature really cool artists. The space is also really neat...exposed brick and wood.
Beautiful building! Great for any function.
I have an office at Cider Gallery. It might be the best office that I have every had. The atmosphere is great. The management is 1st class.
Cider Gallery is a fantastic local event venue and art gallery. Its a revitalized old warehouse and the interior is just beautiful. Great staff and ownership group with small office space located on the 2nd floor.
Great workspace. Well managed and maintained. Its more fun than your current office.
I attended a wedding here. It is a beautiful venue and the wedding was managed very well
Cool space! Great feel to the building. Was here for a memorial.
Great office space...love the location.Dont like noise? Bring your headphones!
So roomy! Loved the decor for our 40th high school reunion! Friendly staff!
Beautiful co-working space with fun energy. Nice conference room to meet with clients.
Great space, great people. If youre looking for a place to work out of the home on your own business, you could do a lot worse.
Beautiful venue and loved the Roman Bull paintings they had up.
Great place, they were nice enough to let the River City Rock Camp students practice there.
Awesome space.

Great venue for a get together. The space does get a little loud with all of the hard surfaces though.
