28 Event Space- The Kansas City Room & The Station

s, and the outdoor spaces, complete with heaters and a fire pit, created the perfect atmosphere for a cool fall evening. The space easily accommodated our 200+ guests while still leaving plenty of room for our photo booth, dance floor, and even a separate area for kids to play. We also appreciated that the venue was wheelchair accessible, making it easy for all of our guests to enjoy the event. The bridal suite, overnight rooms, and well-equipped catering kitchen made everything incredibly convenient and stress-free for us. The only minor inconvenience was that our contact person changed a few times in the months leading up to the wedding, which required some extra coordination. However, everything came together beautifully, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day!

s were PERFECTION! No hidden fees and excellent communication! Truly better than I could’ve ever imagined. So much respect and kindness and love! I will forever reminisce celebrating our wedding day at The Station!

e event staff did a great job on our wedding day and everything went exactly as planned from our end. Although everything was great the day of, the venue switched ownership in Spring 2024 and communication prior to the wedding got much more difficult. Overall we had a great experience with 28 Event Space but think communication leading up to wedding day could be improved.

ble to get ready there the day of the wedding, which was so fun. There was plenty of space for cocktail hour, lots of tables, and a dance floor. The gold curtains are so beautiful for a backdrop, and they have outdoor patios in the front and back that our guests loved. You can even open some of the big garage doors for an indoor-outdoor vibe. Highly recommend!

ld not have asked for a better experience with this venue. Taylor and Mackenzie were great to work with and make a great team.

ating with ideas we had and loved the bridal suites for getting ready and having somewhere to stay that night. We used The Station and it was perfect for our vision! Would highly recommend this event space to anyone!

ppy we did! We had our ceremony and reception here and both were perfect. The staff was responsive and professional throughout the entire process. 100% recommend checking out this venue!

ooked the Kansas City Room and had plenty of room for all of our guests to feel comfortable and really enjoyed the space.

t! Best choice for us with the bedrooms in the back and the kitchen for family to hang out in before the reception and watch College football in the back rooms and then the reception was just fantastic!! Great weather, opened the garage doors for the bagpiper to play and we used both porches, front and back! Just a fabulous evening!

e for everything that is included. A few of the main selling points for me were that our rental included a DJ, party bus, bride/groom getting ready suite, overnight access, use of your own vendors, and the ability to bring your own alcohol. They are the only venue in downtown KC (to my knowledge) to offer all of this, and at an incredibly fair price. In addition to all of this, the venue itself is absolutely stunning. We went with The Station which has an elegant marble backdrop as the centerpiece of the room. Everything is so updated and modern, which is exactly what we were looking for in a venue. The managers Mackenzie and Taylor are also incredibly responsive which is a must for wedding planning. They gave me a number to text with any questions and they almost always responded within ours. We mainly worked with Taylor, and she was so flexible with all of our requests. I can’t recommend 28 Event Space enough.

d they were so easy to work with during such a stressful season. The floor plan of The Station is INCREDIBLE, and having all of our events in one place was perfection. I love how understated and elegant the venue's decor is- also, the amount of amenities included in the package is unheard of- DJ services, bartending and a party bus? Amazing. PLEASE check them out if you want an easy stress-free spot to hold your special day!

are happy to help with changes. 28 event is not your run of the mill event space… it offers so much more. 28event is a one stop shop if you need it to be. We choose the plan that included dj, bar, party bus transportation and beautiful areas for guys and gals to get ready in. This event allows you to byob and bring your own catering. Don’t let the industrial neighborhood fool you… when dressed up the inside becomes very elegant. If you are looking for a venue that offers a lot for a reasonable price visiting 28 event space is a must. Our reception was 24 tables plus a head table of 17 people, we still had plenty of room for a large dance floor. Do your self a favor and go with Icon music, their in house DJ vendor they are amazing also.

th our Florist, Cake Lady, DJ, Band, Caterer, etc. brought our vision to life! Yes, planning a reception is stressful, but they were easy and fun to work with. 28 Event Space made it a smooth process! Thank you Doug for letting us come into 28 Event Space and have a great time! Guests are still talking about the reception!

cation with them from the beginning, and venue manager Taylor was incredibly helpful. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a wedding space in KC!

ickly answered all our questions. We booked the event space with help from our planner, who we later had some issues with, and 28 Event Space did an amazing job helping us find a new planner and stepping in to reassure us that our day would still be perfect! Our guests loved the gorgeous, big space. The surrounding parking was perfect. I had a blast hanging with my friends and getting ready in the huge bridal suite! The bar tenders were also absolutely incredible - fast, friendly, and made great drinks. The space makes it easy for vendors to load up everything that’s needed, with big garage doors and loading spaces. The lighting is also awesome! The only change I think I’d make to the space is not staying there overnight after our event. Due to the surrounding area having other event spaces and bars, it was very very loud until about 3:30 am in the couples’ suite and we didn’t sleep really at all. I would 1000% recommend 28 event space!

es dream with the stress of planning your wedding. I can’t say enough good things about the staff- absolutely AMAZING and so easy to work with! Our day was perfect thanks to 28 event space!

be 28 Event Space – between the tall ceilings, beautiful white marble wall and the amazing amenities that come with this space it was a no brainer to book them ASAP! – the communication, support and services provided to us kept us at ease throughout the pandemic and just basic planning. The venue came with tables, chairs, Icon Event Group (ill review them too), Bartenders, Parking attendants, party bus, bridal and groom suite and so much more! We are so pleased with 28 Event Space I would ONLY recommend them. I have never seen a negative review and doubt I ever will! They made our dream wedding a reality.

d requests. We primarily worked with Mackenzie. We highly recommend her and the venue. We can’t thank them enough for making our day perfect!

were some changes in staff that made me a little bit nervous. However- Taylor stepped in and did a phenomenal job! We had hired our own planners, and she worked seamlessly with them- including when we ran out of beer quicker than expected! She was extremely responsive through the weekend, and the venue was great. It worked for exactly what we wanted- a huge party with all of our loved ones.

orning, to the party bus, to the bartenders to set up/tear down. We also found our incredible DJ Deondre through 28 Event as he is a preferred vendor through ICON event which made everything so much easier for us. We also loved that the venue was a 22 hour rental so our friends from out of town could stay well past last call and hang with us in the bridal suite. Highly recommend!

he space were that it held our 215 count guest list comfortably, the bridal suite was huge and an amazing place to get ready before the big day, party bus was included, they have a discount deal with a local DJ company, you can bring your own alcohol to serve at the reception and they don't limit your catering options which both allowed us to save thousands on alcohol and food. One of the downsides is that in the 8 months between booking and having the wedding they went through 3 different venue managers so communication was kind of rocky for some of it, but the venue manager that we ended up working with the days before the wedding was amazing and super helpful. Since there was a lot of turnover we got different answers to all of our questions and it took a lot of reading through the contract to figure out what was right, which was frustrating. However, the positives totally outweigh the negatives and I would definitely book with them again if we had to do it all over!

elf is stunning, feels so big even when full, and doesn’t need a lot of extra details to make it look beautiful. The staff is incredible, so friendly, so flexible and helped make the day run so smoothly I forgot they were there at times. Whatever time of year you’re getting married, add this space to your must-tour list!

e getting ready. The venue AC was not working prior to the wedding. Thankfully, by the time guests arrived it was working for the reception.

hedule and they were super accommodating. There wasn't a wedding the day before ours so we were able to set up decor at the event space on Friday, which made our wedding day a breeze. Both the bride and groom suites were great for getting ready as well. They really went above and beyond to make our day perfect!

The space itself is very easy to transform with whatever vision you have. The packages they offer are awesome and they have connections with lots of vendors!

to work with the staff there. The owner, Doug, is very nice, easy to work with, and accommodating. Wedding planning during the COVID pandemic was not easy, but Doug and his team did all that they could to ensure we would still be able to have our dream day. For example - about a month before the wedding, we decided that we wanted to have an outdoor space for guests who didn't feel comfortable mingling inside because of COVID. Doug was very open to this and allowed us to set up tents and use two different outdoor areas at 28 Event Space. Some of the highlights of the venue for us were: the general flexibility of the staff; the DJ, bartenders, and transportation being included in the price; the bride and groom suites; and the ability to provide your own alcohol. The only downside of our experience working with 28 Event Space would be that there was a lot of staff turnover - so much so that every meeting we had was with a different person. Despite this, our questions were always answered by someone and our reception turned out beautifully!

of a hat. They include awesome services without being annoyingly 'our way or the highway'. They offer bar staffing but you can bring your own alcohol. We chose 'The Station', and the venue itself is big, classy, and beautiful! The groom and bridal suites are very nice and spacious. They also have very nice kitchen/prep area for the catering staff of your choice. The included party bus is actually super nice, and way better than a limousine. The Station was actually not our original choice in venue, but due to Covid-19, we had to change our venue. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as our family and guests all raved about how much better it was than the original venue and how beautiful it was. The with all the marble and upscale finishes, the space hardly needed any extra decor. We highly recommend booking The Station to anyone looking for an elegant venue with outstanding service and added benefits typically not provided by other venues!

look amazing. The suites are perfect for getting ready, and the bar tenders made sure everyone was severed. We 100% suggest this venue for any couple looking to get married in the KC area.

uch for proving a beautiful space and canvas for our big day!!

ns. First let me talk about the positives: The venue is beautiful -- the décor inside the Station is lovely and with the lights on at night, it is just the mood you want for a wedding. The size of the bridal suite is lovely and it's nice that they have a Groom's suite as well. The venue coordinators are good at allowing you sufficient time to set up and take down your decorations (this is probably my favorite part about this location). I like that they had a package that included their bartenders, transportation options and a DJ from Icon Event Group, those were convenient to not have to worry about on top of booking everything else. My mixed feelings about the venue are the shape/layout of the venue -- it can either work to your advantage and disadvantage. Also, if you have any elderly family that need a lower stimulus environment, the openness of the venue doesn't give them any area to temporarily retreat to -- especially because the upstairs isn't wheelchair accessible. My negative feelings about the venue is that they advertise it can hold up to 200 I believe. I fretted a lot prior to the wedding about it feeling too cramped, but everyone I've spoken with said it felt cozy and inviting (which made me feel so much better). Things to know if you book this venue: A room flip is not feasible at a certain guest count if you opt to have your ceremony and your reception there. There is nowhere for your guests to go if you decide to do this -- particularly if you have tables over near the bar section. I think our actual guest count including wedding party ended up being around 160, less than 170. I think they should tell you ahead of time that they sit 10 people at 60 inch rounds instead of 8 -- which wasn't terrible, but it's something to know -- it cramps the place settings if that is in your design.

the extra bedrooms and party bus options are a great touch. Every time I or my planner had a question, the girls were so easy to get a hold of and answered everything right away. We cannot thank you enough!

r my special day!

are so incredibly easy to work with, and are incredibly flexible with meeting your needs—from arranging any meetings you want leading up to the day of, to making sure the room is set up exactly how you want for your day. In addition, we utilized the bride's room for getting ready in the morning, and I would highly recommend renting it for the day of—not only will it make you feel like a princess with the absolutely stunning bathroom en-suite full of 360 degree mirrors and glamorous lighting, but it also made the morning run so smoothly, and allowed us to keep all of our belongings there while we went and had our wedding ceremony off-site, so that we could come back and have all of our belongings there for the reception. They were so helpful with working with all of our wedding vendors, and I cannot praise them enough! I HIGHLY recommend this event space!

om flip in the space, and it was such a unique and intimate experience 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!

es. So many people played a role in making me feel this way. I know 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

helpful to us in the planning and preparation of the day and answered 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!

, or worry! I wouldn’t have had it any other way! Thanks to 28 event space for a great wedding :)

breathtaking! Not only is it big and perfect to accommodate any 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!!!!
