This is a lovely modern venue in the City Market area of downtown Kansas City. It is an open, multi-level space with beautiful wooden walls, several floor to ceiling garage doors that open when needed and a great looking, working fireplace.
The space is open with several levels which is nice to look at but is also conducive to a ceremony/reception set up. For instance, you could stage the ceremony in front of the fireplace. Then, afterwards, you could invite the guests to the mezzanine area for cocktails and receiving line while the room is "flipped" (the chairs are moved and the tables and buffet are set up for dinner).
They can comfortably seat 175 guests inside or 225 inside with mixed seating or outdoor tent on the parking area in front. The space is available 7 days a week for events.
Excellent view of the beautiful windows, wooden slat wall and versatile mezzanine level up the steps.
The mezzanine level without any decoration, flowers or linens is already simple and elegant.
Just perfect for an after ceremony cocktail and passed appetizers!
Modern benches seat several guests. Very inviting especially when the fire is going strong at the end of the evening at a cozy fall wedding.
I love this picture from INK KC because it really shows the versatility of the space. The multiple levels allow for these guests to both watch and participate by showering the new couple with petals or confetti. The wood is also a beautiful backdrop that needs little or no additional decoration.
