Years of experience and undisputed expertise lead to value-added efficiencies and optimal outcomes.
Start by sharing your vision. How you want your guests to feel. The kind of memories you hope to make. Whether intimate or grand, relaxed or formal, our best-in-the-region event planning makes yours an affair to remember. Greeting guests as they walk in the door. Managing flow. Keeping glasses full, buffets stocked and tables cleared. A professional DJ/master of ceremonies and highest-quality lighting and sound systems will have you dancing the night away.
You simply get more with The Petroleum Club. Resources such as our set and decoration room come at no added cost. We can achieve your fantasy – be it a winter wonderland or tropical fiesta, a study in white or vibrant color theme. Tell us your dream. It helps that our venue is so beautiful already: hand-plastered walls, wood-beamed ceilings, linen-covered tables. Skylights pull in natural light. Walls of windows deliver dramatic views. The Kansas sky and surrounding cityscape become part of the decor.
OVERVIEW
The Petroleum Club occupies the top floor of one of Wichita’s most iconic buildings, the Ruffin Building (formerly the Bank of America Financial Center). This massive glass-and-block complex commands the northeast corner of Douglas and Broadway. An interior open atrium stretches nine stories high. A glass-walled pedestrian skybridge protects guests from wind or weather. It connects to a covered, six-story parking garage across the street at 123 North Broadway. Elevators provide convenient, easy access, both in the parking garage and in the Ruffin Building.
TESTIMONIALS
We hosted our wedding reception at The Petroleum Club and it was outstanding. Superlatives can't describe the feeling we had when we walked into the room to greet our guests. The entire staff, led by Kathy Latham, was professional. Mark Mazur, DJ and master of ceremony skills, was wonderful and handled the special events with style and class. That was the theme for the evening – Style and Class. Thank you from my wife and me. We feel fortunate to have used this spectacular venue.

The Petroleum Club was absolutely perfect for our wedding reception. I always envisioned an atmosphere that was intimate and romantic, and The Petroleum Club was all of that and more. I wanted white drapes lined with white string lights softly draping the ceiling; the event planner, Kathy, made this possible. There were lit candles everywhere, lovely linens on the tables, soft lighting along the walls, and many special details that created a romantic setting overlooking downtown Wichita. It was beautiful!

As a little girl, my daughter dreamed of having her wedding reception, dinner and dance at The Petroleum Club. So, booking the club was an emotional decision. But it proved to be a very wise choice. The venue comes with a wedding planner, Kathy Latham, and her expertise is invaluable. Our planning sessions were relaxing, informative and productive. Her excellent vendor recommendations gave us confidence and made the event run smoothly.
