28 Event Space

rience for us and our guests. Their staff was a dream to work with and was so kind to answer all of my crazy bride questions throughout it all. The day-of was nothing short of perfection. Karly and Maura worked with our coordinator for all of the behind-the-scenes magic and I can honestly say the day went off without a hitch. Can't say enough good things about the space, the staff and the amenities included in the package. They made it all so easy, which is no small feat for soon-to-be brides. Would recommend them to anyone looking to get married in the KC area!

now for my wife, she loved all the amenities that 28 Event Space offered. It was so easy getting ready for the wedding and absolutely had a blast once the reception started. The space was perfect, It wasn't too big but wasn't too small for the number of guests we had. If I could do it all over again, I'd still use 28 Event Space. Cheers! ~Addison

wered all of our questions! They did a room flip since we did both the wedding ceremony and reception in the same room and it could not have gone smoother. We chose one of the cheaper packages but they still allowed us to use the back room throughout the evening which was so helpful. The 28 Event staff had bar tenders and parking staff available to help too. I honestly didn't have to worry about a thing the entire night because anytime there was a problem the girls took care of it! I would highly recommend having your wedding or reception (or both) at 28!

vent space for a great wedding :)

number of guests (we had 250), but the mural of the skyline is just so different and unique than any other venue! It was fun for our guests and is a great way to remember 28 Event Space! The staff is extremely accommodating. I felt Maura was extremely personable, even calming when I was stress crying (LOL- thank you!). Everything we had talked about and planned was perfect and went smoothly! The tables arrangements and decor looked amazing! We used their suggested DJ package, Icon Event Space. My parents, husband and I are so glad we picked this beautiful spot. Our guests had a blast, as did we! Everyone had such nice things to say! The only complaint we have is it was a little warm in the room before we opened the garage doors. We understand though because what room wouldn’t be with 250 people? Ha! However, it was totally OK! We highly recommend this space! Thank you, again!!!!

he Kansas City Room in May and we were able to bring the garage doors up once the sun had gone down after dinner. Everyone LOVED that!! We also got to reveal the mural of Kansas City after dinner which was so cool! We reserved both the bridal suite and the grooms suite that come with the venue. My whole bridal party (6 total girls) were able to come the morning of the reception and get their hair and makeup done at the venue with me! Some of the girls even stayed overnight with me the night before. Time and time again I will recommend this venue. It's 100% worth it's cost. We were also able to reserve a bus to take our wedding party around for pictures before the ceremony and then everyone and their significant others from the ceremony to the reception through 28! It was so convenient! We worked with Karly and then with Maura the day before the reception and they were both so sweet and helpful with all my small requests. They helped me stay calm during the planning process. There was not a single hiccup at the reception thanks to 28 Event Space and their staff for being amazing!!!

already so it made things easy instantly. We received so many compliments from our guest about this great spot. I could go on and on about all of the additional inclusions and perks to renting The Station (but I won’t), so I HIGHLY encourage that you reach out to the 28 Event Group if you’re looking for a kick ass venue for your wedding (or any other event)!

& transportation which took a load off during planning.

he groom suite is a bit smaller but enough for the guys. We initially met with Karly for the tour but Chey helped with everything else after that. They were easy to get a hold of and answered all my questions in a timely manner. I knew I was in good hands and my wedding day went perfectly! Could not have asked for a better group to work with!

check that we were still on for the tour, nobody would email me back. I called, and nobody answered the phone. It came down to me having to leave a voicemail to the venue an hour before our appointment asking if we were still supposed to drive downtown to meet them. After four days of not hearing from them and leaving them a message the day of the appointment, they didn’t even have the decency to call and apologize for missing the appointment THEY scheduled with me. It was a waste of my time as I could have booked other venues that morning who were actually willing to communicate with me as a business should. If you’re looking for a venue to truly work with you on your big day, save your time and don’t look here.

rofessional in our meeting, but also treated us like old friends she was celebrating alongside. The whole team was awesome throughout the night from the bus driver to the bartenders & we could not be more grateful. Thank you for helping us throw an incredible party!

ation on November 24, 2018 - it fit our guest list wonderfully and our bridal parties had plenty of space to hang out in the suites the day of. The girls at 28 are also amazing to work with - I had zero concerns going into the day-of knowing Karly & Chey had it completely under control. They met the vendors, so we didn't have to. I have already recommended this venue to my friends! Loved it so much!

hold our huge guest list. It was so nice to have a venue that allows you the opportunity to bring outside vendors and to bring in your own alcohol. However, the best part about this venue is the staff, especially Karly and Chey! They are AMAZING to work with! Karly was SO helpful in answering any and all questions or concerns we had leading up to our big our day! Chey was so sweet and so much fun to work with! She was willing to help wherever necessary and definitely went above and beyond to make sure everything went perfectly! We can't thank them enough for helping make our day so amazing! They're the best!

erything 28 Event Space offered made my daughter say that she had her dream wedding. We also rented the suites and this made the preparation for the wedding perfect! There is plenty of space for the bridal party and groomsmen to hang out in their suites. Thank you, Chey and everyone at 28 Event Space, for everything you did for us! We'll never forget our experience with you!

much fun planning our big day! Our 230 guests at the wedding can’t stop talking about how amazing the wedding was! From the beautiful lights and the garage doors allowing access to the outside patio all night our guests fell in love with the venue as much as we did! Icon kept us dancing all night and the bridal suite and grooms suite are gorgeous! My wedding party was able to eat breakfast together, get ready in the individual suites and our family enjoyed the suites during the reception when the younger guests needed a break from all the dancing! Thank you 28 for such a magical wedding!!

anything that popped up the day of the wedding and can't imagine not having such attentive staff to help coordinate that! The space was so beautiful and we received many compliments. It was amazing that we could select our own vendors and the option to bring your own alcohol was such a cost savings (from what I could find, there's only a few places in KC that allow that.) We also chose an overnight package and it was great to have that space as well. I cannot recommend this venue enough! Huge thanks to Chey and all the team there.

lly loved that we could stay the night in the on-site suite and not have to go across town to a hotel room. It was just amazing!

dy set up so beautifully with the lights, gold backdrops, tables and tablecloths, etc. We decided to rent the groom and bridal suites and I am so glad we did. We each had 8 groomsmen/bridesmaids and the rooms were perfect for getting ready that morning and having time to relax with our bridal party. We also stayed there the night of which was super fun and convenient. There was no event the night before so we were allowed to come in and set up on Friday which helped make everything so much easier for us on the day-of. We worked with Karly throughout our wedding planning process and she was AWESOME. She kept everything very organized and was so easy to communicate and work with. She made everything so smooth for us and definitely helped take a lot of stress out of the wedding planning process. The decision to have our wedding at this event space was one of the best decisions we made and I can't say enough good things!

orried that The Station would be too small. (150 people) It was the perfect size. It wasn't too big and made the ceremony intimate. The space at The Station is gorgeous-- the marble wall and white walls were perfect for our minimalist & greenery theme. We loved that the venue provided the tables, linens, bridal/groom suites, transportation, bartenders, and parking attendants! All of the staff was amazing. I didn't have to worry about a thing-- which is saying a lot coming from me. =) I wish I could do the day over and over again. Thanks again!

the overhead lights. Maura made our lives easy multiple times during the planning process and especially during the event.

quick and smooth process. We worked with Karly to plan our event. She was always available to answer questions and made the planning process an easy one. Chey was our day of coordinator and was so accommodating, friendly, and organized. She made sure our wedding was perfect and made it a stress-free night for us. Both Chey and Karly were amazing to work with, and we definitely recommend the venue!

n the package)! Their staff is very friendly and helpful. We really didn’t have to worry about anything and everything was so laid back! The other wonderful thing about our package was, my husband and I stayed there as well and didn’t have to be completely out until Saturday at 9:00 AM! Their bridal suite is AMAZING and HUGE which is so nice for getting ready!! I would definitely recommend this place for the price and what all is included!!

n alcohol and our own vendors! My favorite part of 28 Event Space was how beautiful it is. Our pictures turned out amazing! It was such a perfect day, thank you 28 Event Space!

d a date, we gave the check and were reviewing the contract. NEVER returned the contract. Cancelled the Wedding and I have been trying to get my deposit back for 60 days. They have been awful, as if it hasn't been stressful enough. They have made the experience terrible, I will never recommend this venue to anyone.

e had around 130 guests and the place felt full. We were able to schedule one of the shuttles to go back-and-forth between the downtown hotel for pick-up and drop-off at the end of the night and our guests loved it and it kept the party going. Being able to spend the night is a huge benefit and made for an easier clean-up the next day. Clean-up was the hardest part but grab a few family members/wedding party and you can back your car up and load out easily. We added the extra hour and it was totally worth it, wish it could've lasted longer.

as so awesome for the girls to get ready in and made for a more than comfortable place for the bride and groom to spend their first night as man and wife together! Karly and Chey were amazing to work with!! They were not just helpful, but really fun too! They showed that they really cared for us and wanted to help give us the wedding of our dreams. I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone.

ices and we purchased the basic one because we were on a budget. The level of service we received was no different than if we would have committed to the most expensive. The site is close to downtown which was important to us. They didn’t have an event scheduled the day before so we were allowed to decorate early, which made the wedding day so much more relaxed and as the mother of the bride, I was able to really enjoy the celebration. I was worried about parking but since the contract includes parking attendants this was not an issue. We did not serve alcohol but the contract includes bartenders. I was worried that the bartenders would be upset about the loss of tip money due to no alcohol, but they served soda, maintained the water and coffee dispensers perfectly and with a great attitude. Christine, our day-of coordinator was excellent as well; making sure everything was ready prior to guest arrival; lighting candles, pouring the toasting drinks, etc. My daughter and her fiancée live out of state and Maura and her staff allowed us to visit whenever they were in town, they answered phone calls and text messages almost always the same day. We had the best day ever and 28 Event Space and its staff was absolutely instrumental! I would highly recommend.

and made sure that everything was perfect on our big day! They were so gracious and accommodating and helped make sure that my vision for the day came to life. I can’t thank Karly and all the staff at 28 Even space for making our day so special! There not one thing I would change and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!

the staff at the beginning and some miscommunication along the way, but as soon as we met Chey and she was made our Day of Coordinator everything changed! Chey was accommodating, attentive, so great to work with and answered all of our emails and phone calls promptly. She listened to everything we needed during the entire weekend and was so easy to talk to. Although there were extremely stressful times, she always had a game plan and was truly a delight to work with. She went above and beyond which made the day flow so much easier, as she was always one step ahead, making sure we had everything we needed! We had a Day of Coordinator through our catering company and Chey and her worked so well together it made everything so much easier. I would definitely recommend this beautiful venue and would absolutely recommend Chey as a coordinator! She truly went above and beyond!!!

lanning on having 75-100 wedding guests so the KC room was going to be a bit too large for our needs. The Station being a smaller space, was more accommodating to the smaller wedding guest count. Now since we got word of this new event space before it was built, they were not quite accepting deposits for dates at that time. Once we were alerted to put our money down, there were a few hiccups but nothing to really mention now since everything worked out in the end AND you always have to expect with a new event space there are going to be a few things to sort out in the beginning. We didn’t really have an assigned main point of contact (as far as I know) leading up to the big day which seemed like maybe a downfall but honestly it was never an issue because any questions we had you could send in through the online portal and get a fairly quick response. I think the majority of the responses came from Karly and she was always extremely helpful. We decided to do the largest package with The Station which included, but not limited to, two overnight suites (takes care of 2 hotel rooms!), linens (even ones in my color theme), tables/chairs, bartenders, parking lot attendants, the limo/party bus for 4hrs-ish, photo booth, car racing game, pool table, day of coordinator... I am sure I am forgetting something- We had to find our own DJ, caterers, photographer and liquor provider but this was nothing considering all that was involved with the venue itself. We had a meeting with Courtney about a month before and she took very detailed notes about our wants and needs for the day of- made us feel very confident for the upcoming big day! Fast forward- wedding day we ended up getting Courtney for our day of coordinator and she was fantastic! The scheduled bartender ended up not being able to come in, so Courtney manned the bar! And if there was anything that went wrong throughout the evening, we had no idea- she really was wonderful. (we had many compliments from our guests as well about her!) I highly recommend this venue space regardless of if you pick the KC room or The Station. We had the best time and would do it all over again if we could!

was picture perfect and we got to wake up in the beautiful space after staying the night in the bridal suite. It was a dream come true. A special thanks to Karly for all her hard work.

e to be able to choose all our own vendors.

family that was helping us the day of the wedding. Completely unacceptable actions by the staff and unprofessional. I would hate for another Bride to have to experience the unprofessionalism and disrespect that we encountered.

id no I have you today for 1:30 (already changed time in one email?). I then forwarded the email and she was not helpful and didn't attempt to make another appointment. Lost our business

and on the day of the event they made sure everything went smoothly and we had any/everything we needed. We would highly recommend 28 Event Space!

with Karly, we decided on a Friday wedding because of the availability. There are many perks to a Friday wedding at 28 Event Space – the biggest and most helpful was having Thursday access to the venue. The all-inclusive price included Friday night in the lofts, but a Friday wedding included an extra night (Thurs). It kept my mind at ease knowing we had a full day for set-up and to get acquainted with the space. We had our ceremony at a church near by, but a room flip would have been great in the space too. All our vendors had experience working at and with 28 Event Space and there was a sense of familiarity for them when we would go over the details of our day. There was only one snafu and it was that we had a couple of different coordinators in our 9 months. Karly was a constant so that helped, and for our day-of, we worked with Courtney. Courtney was AWESOME to work with. She was new-ish on our wedding day but Karly being there was super helpful and kept me at ease. Courtney has a great energy and enthusiasm about her….just what we needed nearing the end of our engagement! On the day-of, we spent it getting ready in the suites. It was so helpful literally being in the next room as our vendors. It was great having a front-row seat to seeing the magic happen. Being type-A, it was great to just have my hands in everything! Everything and everyone that was part of 28 Event Space was highly personable, approachable and patient (perfect for brides to deal with!). We used one of the suites during the reception as a “Child’s Suite” and had a babysitter come in and watch the young kiddos as their parents had fun on the dance floor. My parents and in-laws were extremely impressed at the ease of having it in that location! So many things I didn’t have to tend to because of 28 Event Space: accommodations for the night before/night-of, shuttle services for our guests, party bus for the bridal party, a place to get ready (the vanity is picture-perfect) and so much more. Parking was great for the guests and the space was so open that no matter where anyone sat, they were able to see everything! We used the stage for our cake cutting and it was great to look out into the crowd and see our reception in front of us. 28 Event Space is a one-stop shop for a great wedding.

se of everything that our package came with and because I was able to use food and beverage vendors from elsewhere. Courtney and Karly both did an awesome job with coordinations and the wedding went off without a hitch! - Sarah

tenders, plenty of restrooms and of course, day of coordination. I LOVED that the venue provided so many decor & set up items and that it was beautifully decorated so I didn't feel like I had to spend a bunch of money on making the place look presentable. They are very organized, kind, and helpful, from the moment we contacted them for a tour Karly and her team set us as ease. You won't be disappointed if you book with 28 Event Space.

contacted the space to request pricing information and to ensure the date I needed was available, Courtney (28 Event Space Coordinator as of May 2017), responded by emailing two prospective customers at the same time and failing to bcc us. The other customer and myself then went through a week of irritating miscommunication before we realized neither of the other was the coordinator (Courtney did not respond to emails within days of receiving them to clear this up). She then did not apologize or even acknowledge that she had made an error. I could have gotten over that initial communication error if when I finally was able to schedule a time to tour the space, Courtney had taken the time to re-confirm that the date I needed was available. Instead, I made a special trip to see the space only to arrive (and wait for her to show up for another 10 minutes), for her to tell me the date I requested wasn't available. Are you kidding me!? How difficult is it to re-confirm a date prior to making a prospective customer waste their time?! In summary, the space is pretty. There are better investments scattered through the city, and beware Courtney's planning abilities.

ide were answered with a friendly response and quickly. hey went above and beyond all my expectations and even ran an important errand for the wedding party the day of when a two year old needed pull-ups! I cannot say enough great things about this venue and if you are lucky to get a date there you will be in great hands and your wedding will be amazing! We did reserve the back room and it was the perfect place to get ready and have our hair and makeup done as well.

ption to drive around while everyone left. Overall my wedding was picture perfect and a lot was thanks to Courtney and the 28 event space.

bove and beyond to make our wedding day so special. The event space itself was breathtaking! Lights on the ceiling and kc skyline on the back wall! This place is a must! It is so clean and the bridal room was spacious and bright! I can't thank them again for making our day so special!

enough for making our wedding so perfect!

bar, lighting... all were amazing. Thank you! Highly Recommend this amazing venue & staff .

bridal last minute questions! They are truly there to help! The bartenders they provide were also great! No complaints here!

ding. Literally the coolest photo booth I have ever seen, and beautiful finishes. We couldn't have asked for a better venue.

ng down from the ceiling. So many of my guests came up to me that night saying how much they loved the venue. It has a really cool outdoor space where the non-dancers were able to relax and have fun as well. Sylvia and Karly were a dream team. They answered all my silly questions leading up to the big day and were awesome the day of in making it look incredible. Everyone said that this was the best wedding they have ever been to and I think that the venue had a huge part in that!

ppy to help. Our wedding went off without a hitch and we could not have done it without 28 Event Space and specifically Karly and Sylvia. The venue is also BEAUTIFUL. We received SO many compliments on the venue and the staff. Book this venue - you will not regret it!

l!

ce low to mid 80s that day and they opened the garage doors the whole night to help give our wedding the summer night feel that we dreamed of. The only little blip with the venue would have been the photobooth. Unless you held really still for a few seconds after the photos were taken, they came out blurry. But otherwise, everything was great, the rooms were amazing and allowed us to stay and keep a small party going with our wedding party after. Couldn't say enough great things about this venue!

the modern look and ample space, but because the staff was so accommodating and helpful from the day we booked the event space until the very last minute of our wedding. Thank you 28 Event Space!!

ithout ever setting foot in the space! It turns out that was a great decision! We worked with Maura from the beginning of the planning process and she was always accommodating to my many questions and scheduling meetings around our visits to Kansas City. Planning from afar can be a daunting task and having a coordinator to contact directly really put me at ease. Maura left shortly before our wedding which definitely made me nervous, but I was relieved to be placed in Karly's very capable hands! Our wedding day could not have been more wonderful. Everything from the bridal suite to the ceremony set up to the reception, was amazing! The seamless transition from ceremony space to cocktail hour and then the room flip for the reception made it very easy for our guests and kept the evening flowing smoothly. I have heard from multiple people how much they loved the venue and the staff. Thank you 28 Event Space for helping to give us one unforgettable Wedding! Can we do it all over again now, please?? :)

fabulous! The rooms for wedding party to get ready in were beautiful and had plenty of room to spread out. The bartenders were so accommodating and kind to everyone. I can't say enough nice things about this venue and the coordinators (especially Sylvia who helped calm my nerves before walking down the isle). Thank you 28 Event Space for making my wedding perfect!

e option to stay the night as well. That was awesome since we had to leave at 5AM for our honeymoon. I don't like how the website isn't diverse

in awe. We personally loved the mural. And getting to stay there overnight was the perfect ending to our perfect day. Thank you!

tely recommend this space, and Maura and her crew especially, to anyone!

rfect wedding!

was the only person. They are very detailed and get exact information on how you would like everything. It went off without a hitch...well not any MAJOR ones at least. Thanks alot ladies!
