1311 W 13th St, Kansas City“I currently see Ash (AshArtistry) as she now works here! Amazing atmosphere, all the stylist seem to be super bubbly and friendly, absolutely love the vibe and they have such a wide variety of services here! Absolutely adored Ash and the work she did with my hair. So happy I finally found someone who can give me the look I'm looking for without me having to come in for multiple sessions or just work with what I received. Highly recommend!”
“We rented the entire facility for our son’s 11th birthday. We had 16 kids and the staff and place was incredible! The kids absolutely loved it and it was such a unique experience! The two staff members went absolutely above and beyond in every way! We will definitely be back again!”
“I’ve been here multiple times and have enjoyed each visit! The staff are friendly and helpful, the prices of the pieces are reasonable and it is usually a pretty quick turn around for receiving finished projects.”
“The Firehouse KC was our DREAM venue. It is so unique and it has several fun spaces to utilize! We had our ceremony outside in their gorgeous courtyard, and our reception inside. However they also have a GORGEOUS upstairs small ballroom for more intimate, indoor weddings. Firehouse KC was super helpful with helping us pick vendors too (we live several states away from KC and had a hard time picking vendors). They have a list of their "friendors," their favorite vendors that they've worked with in the past. That was really helpful for us to narrow down our vendors! Katie was our venue manager and she was a GEM to work with. She made everything so easy, she anticipated our needs and was able to make our wedding stress free because of how hard she worked. Thank you FireHouse KC for our memorable, unique, AMAZING wedding!”
“Our experience at Union was an absolute dream from start to finish. There were so many things about this venue that put it head and shoulders above all the other options we looked at: the DTKC location (especially the proximity to the Kauffman Center); the aesthetic and layout of the space itself; the amazing rooftop views; the BYOB package; and most importantly, the 24-hour rental. We are a Latino American couple and knew we would want to keep celebrating deep into the night; Union was the only venue we looked at that would allow us to do that without worrying about getting people out of the venue/cleaning everything up—it was SO nice not to think about that on the wedding night, knowing we could come back to clean up the next morning.
Even better than all of that was the quality of service we received from the Union staff. Clay went above and beyond in putting together our beverage package, even doing his own mixology experiments to help us perfect one of our signature cocktails. Shannon stayed up with us the entire wedding night, taking care of everything until we left the venue at 3 am. But the realest of them all was Allison, our day-of coordinator. She was so friendly, helpful, and easy to work with; we could tell that she really cared about making our day special. On the wedding day, she made everything run so smoothly that my husband and I did not have to do anything but show up and get married! We could not have asked for better support throughout the entire process of planning this event, up to and including the wedding day itself.
One last thing I really liked about this venue is that they offer so many great additional services (e.g. photobooth, ceremony arch, etc.), but they never tried to upsell us on them. We always had the option of adding stuff on, but we never felt pressured to do so, which allowed us to create the event we wanted at the price point we were comfortable with. Ultimately, we felt like Union’s goal was to use their extensive resources and expertise to help us create the experience we wanted. And that’s exactly what we got! I wholeheartedly recommend this venue on every level. Get married here! You won’t regret it.”
“Nice venue.My sister got married there on May 24th it was a beautiful service and she made a stunning bride.My brothers,my dad and I had an amazing time. I'll never forget that. My only complaint is that the lighting was minimal. Very dark in there.There were tealights in places.You couldn't take great pictures,unless you were there in midday. I have on the royal blue straw hat. I'm the shortest man in the family. ?”
“Nice variety of artists and crafters. Food trucks, bounce house and even a chance to get a reading! I hope this venue continues to grow! Great Mo River back drop with a nice walking trail. Leashed pets are welcome. A very nice way to spend time on a Sunday afternoon.”
“We booked 2016 Main for our wedding reception in October 2023 and can’t recommend this place enough for your event. The space is beautiful with a fun and unique atmosphere, meaning you don’t have to put a lot of effort into your own decor. Both the previous owner Pat and the new owner Nico were fantastic to work with. I felt they both truly went above and beyond during our wedding planning process to answer all of our questions and provide a lot of recommendations for us. And the actual day went perfectly thanks to Nico’s attentiveness and preparedness, reducing a lot of stress on our part. Thank you so much!!”
“What a gem in KC this place is! Worth a stop in to see some gorgeous artwork.
I am partial to the pottery work. They offer space for artists and kiln firing.”

8581 N Green Hills Rd, Kansas City“I love going to Mid-Continent library. They have a great selection of books, magazines and DVDs and they have awesome programs available. This branch's cafe is also delicious!”
“I own KC Mobility Scooter Rentals, a mobility device rental business. Last week I had four of my mobility Scooters rented out during the recent writer's conference. The security staff were extremely friendly and helpful both when dropping off and picking up mobility Scooters. I just wanted to take a few minutes to thank a occupation who doesn't always get the recognition they deserve. Thank you for making it super easy to conduct business at the convention center.”
9:30AM - 11:30PM
13440 Holmes Rd, Kansas City“This venue is adorable!! You could host any type of event here and be well taken care of by them. Prices are also amazing! One possible con would be the space only holds 200 people.”
“We absolutley loved working with Dom and Mallory at The Grand Hall. The meetings leading up to it and then day of all went very smooth. We couldnt have asked for a better staff.- Kiewit Lenexa KIWE group.”
“We had a great experience using the Monarch Room for our wedding/reception venue. The owner, Megan, is very easy to work with and was helpful with our planning process. Shout out for being one of the only venues in downtown KC with the option to BYOB! There is a required charge to use the venue’s bartenders, but still well worth it. Venue is beautiful and was easy to decorate. Also she allowed us to bring our dog (best boy in our wedding party) so he could celebrate with us as well! Wedding was a great time!”
Open 24 hours
200 W 12th St, Kansas City“Paige in valet is truly amazing, It was so wonderful to have someone so knowledgeable and helpful not only of the hotel but the city as well! I was slightly displeased with the hotel it’s but she honestly made up for anything they did wrong!”

160 S Main St, Kansas City“My niece booked this venue for her wedding and it did not disappoint! It's almost like you get a coordinator included. They have very reasonable packages that include decorations and bartender. I cannot say enough about the owner/coordinator Brittney. She was absolutely fabulous. Highly recommend.”

2101 Central St, Kansas City“Had a great experience at the Crossroads Hotel. The character is hard to beat, rooms are spacious and staff were friendly. Would stay here again if given the opportunity.”
“Just took my son to a concert at another venue out of town. Had a horrible experience. Made me realize how spoiled KCMO is to have such an awesome venue in our hometown. Thank you to all who make every effort to give your attendees a great experience!!”
“Absolutely beautiful theatre, fantastic sights and a real old timey theatre vibe. Now the seats were not very comfortable for a 2 hour show , the seats at the front next to the stage were the fold up type and the leg room was non existent.”
“Wonderful place to host or attend a meeting. Make sure you leave extra time to visit the beautiful gardens across the street from the conference center. Easy to schedule meetings, the staff are great, and there are a variety of meeting spaces so you can find something that works for your group.”
“There may be volleyball courts in the area but we go for the Kansas City Current matches. It's a tribute to what can be accomplished with private funding.Great venue and a great team!”
“MOD is always a destination for me when I'm in KC. The gallery provides an insightful interactive experience with its openings and first Friday events. The live DJ compliments the art and exuberant patrons of this special place.”
“Still needs some time for the fairways to grow in, will be spectacular in just a few short weeks. Plays really long from the tips, with many ups and downs from tee to green”
“Simple and easy planning process, and perfect spot for a wedding!! We loved the cozy loft vibe paired with the sweeping views of our favorite city ? the bridal/groom rooms, elevator, parlor, alley, and venue itself were all the perfect backdrop for so many special moments!!!”
“It's great having a theater nearby that has comfortable seating. Not even the AMC has good seats in all of it's rooms. My only complaint is the bathrooms. They are in dire need of an overhaul. They smell absolutely awful.”
“I’ve been coming here for years. Sometimes for events and other times to sit and meditate in the main hall. It’s so peaceful and inclusive. Lovely temple, I always stop by anytime I’m in KC!”
“The Harlow was the perfect venue for our winter wedding! My husband and I visited countless venues, and The Harlow was the one we both walked out of saying we wanted to get married at. The historic industrial vibe with wood floors, beams, brick walls, and the amazing freight elevator were exactly what we wanted. We of course had plenty of decor for the ceremony and reception, but we didn't need much since the venue was so beautiful! It truly was the perfect backdrop for our dream wedding, and we can't wait to see all the pictures of just how perfect the space looked. We absolutely loved having our wedding there and would highly recommend to anyone searching for a venue in the downtown KC area!”
“Beautiful venue great place to see a concert. great sound. The staff is friendly and helpful.
the concert I went was Dave Mason's Traffic Jam they performed a fantastic show.”
“My daughter and I attended the Donny Osmond concert last night and she has a disability and is afraid of heights. I thought I had chosen good seats where all she would have to do is come in, go over 3 chairs and sit down but that was not the case. The ushers in our section went above and beyond to help us out and try to accommodate. I can't thank them enough.”
