Cellar 222

I could not recommend Cellar 222 more. After our original venue fell through we had to find a new location. I wish I had found Cellar 222 from the beginning. Steve was very responsive anytime I had questions. He was so easy to work with. I could not have asked for a better ceremony and reception. Everything turned out beautiful and better than I could have asked for.

Steve was so helpful and prepared for any questions I had. He also has vendors lined up in case you forget something (like we did) it was an beautiful venue and made for an amazing night!

Cellar 222 was the most perfect venue for us! We have both the ceremony and reception there and got many compliments about how beautiful it was. Steve was so easy to deal with and very responsive. I cannot recommend Cellar 222 enough!

This venue really is one of the best kept secrets in Kansas City! While we had never heard of it, we knew the moment we saw it that it was perfect for our intimate ceremony. Steve is not only extremely accommodating but also a great resource when planning your perfect wedding day! Most importantly he is a kind individual who is very easy to work with along with all the staff he recommended. If you choose this upscale cozy venue for your special day, you will not be disappointed!

The venue was so beautiful! Everything went smoothly, and Steven was very responsive and answered every silly question I had! It truly was a great experience! Thank you Steven!

Loved this place!!! Steve was amazing he let us tour the place twice. Second time with our family. He had a list of vendors that was very helpful. Our family and friends loved the venue. We had an absolute amazing experience here!!! I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone I know that is planning a wedding. Thank you so much!!!

Cellar 222 was absolutely wonderful. Steve went above and beyond in helping make sure we had an amazing reception. From providing a vendors list for food and drinks, to a beautiful venue. Highly recommend using Cellar 222 for any amazing celebration.

Steve was great in helping us set up our wedding! The Cellar 222 team makes it super easy to coordinate all the details of a wedding with vetted vendors, hiring security and coordinating with other vendors. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a beautiful indoor setting for a wedding Kansas City!

This place is wonderful. Steve took the time to walk us through the venue multiple times and provided a lot of helpful information. The location is beautiful and the staff is amazing. I highly recommend Cellar 222.

Cellar 222 was the BEST venue for our wedding! We held the ceremony and reception there and it was beautiful. As the bride, it was such a fun moment to walk down the stairs into our crowd of guests and towards my groom. Being married in front of a fireplace was gorgeous. The venue have two floors made for super easy day-of-flow. Guests were able to see the ceremony, then head upstairs for cocktail hour, and then back downstairs for dinner. We comfortably had 95 guests and the space felt intimate and cozy. Steve was incredible to work with. He was always easy to get ahold of during the planning process. He was upfront with all of the services he offered and there were no hidden fees. Cellar 222 was truly the best place we could have gotten married!! I highly recommend it.

We loved our wedding and reception here. It was important to us that it feel intimate and that we would not have to do much to decorate the venue and Cellar 222 provides exactly that! Many of our guests have told us how lovely the venue was and that the intimacy made the wedding feel very special. Steve was great and it was very low stress. Thoroughly recommend.

Absolutely perfect venue! We had our reception here and it was perfect. Steve was very helpful when we had any questions. The space is lovely and has two floors that is perfect for dancing on one floor and dinner on the other. Would highly recommend!

Cellar222 is magical! It's such a beautiful venue!! Steve was more than helpful and went above and beyond to make our wedding day very special. I am so happy we chose this place and would recommend Cellar222 to anyone!!

Wonderful venue all around! Steve is amazingly helpful and responsive. The venue is gorgeous and I loved having the option of upstairs and downstairs for those that don’t want the loud music. Being able to have real candles was great and really added to our vibe for the night. Definitely would reccomend to anyone looking for a beautiful wedding space

We decided to book our wedding & reception at Cellar 222 in early 2023 and held the event in the fall of 2023. The venue is absolutely beautiful. We saved a ton of money because the venue decorates itself. The location is fantastic with beautiful hotels nearby. Almost all of our vendors had hosted there several times before, which made setup for them all very easy. Steven was one of the perks of the package. He was always available for questions, helped us organized the big day, and was there to help us get it started on the right foot. He helped make our special day even more special. Thank you Cellar 222!!!

This venue is perfect. Steven was so easy to work with and the venue was surprisingly affordable, especially when you consider what all you're getting for your money. I will definitely be recommending cellar 222 to anyone I know getting married in the future.

Cellar 222 is a truly beautiful venue! It provided the perfect backdrop for a magical evening. The charming architecture was highlighted by its quality furnishings and decor. Owner Steven Bell made the experience that much better! Easy communication, guidance for clients who really needed it, and his help during set up were invaluable. He made the conversion from ceremony to reception appear quick and easy. All of our guests were talking about what a wonderful venue it was! I am so happy that Cellar 222 was the choice of my son and daughter-in-law for their wedding and reception!

I fell in love with the space the first time I saw it. Steve was an amazing host and walked me through everything. Our day was completely perfect and I had zero stress on wedding day. I am so happy we went with this venue for our ceremony and reception. We had the best day celebrating and I couldn't have asked for more. Steve, thank you for your kindness and for being a genuine good human being. Our day was perfect! Love, Erin and Steve

100/10 When we walked into tour this venue, I knew it was where I wanted to get married. From selecting the date, making payments and coordinating vendors, Steve made the process very easy. He was always accommodating any time I wanted to come and re-walk the venue. He reached out to confirm vendors and timelines the week leading up to the day. He was also on site the entire day to help with any set up as well as to answer any questions. All of my family and friends that worked with him told me I made a great choice and that Steve was great. Everyone also commented on the beauty of the venue! I would 100% recommend the venue and would not change a thing.

We could not have possibly been happier with this venue! It was the perfect size for our 80-guest wedding. Steve made sure all of our questions were answered and encouraged us to visit the space often to make sure we knew exactly what we were working with. Very little decor was needed, as the building has wonderful urban charm with exposed brick and stone. And the bridal suite was the perfect spot to sit and recharge if sensory overload started to hit. I cannot recommend Cellar 222 enough to give it justice.

Cellar 222 is a great intimate venue with very favorable rates compared to other venues we researched. We just had our wedding there a week ago. The stone architecture of the bottom level creates a sort of medieval time atmosphere. It felt like we were a king and queen in our castle. We held the ceremony and dinner downstairs and the reception upstairs. That provided a great flow for the evening. After the ceremony, everyone headed upstairs for the cocktail hour while the downstairs was flipped for dinner. Once dinner was over, everyone went back upstairs where our DJ and phot booth was ready to go! Steve was very easy to work with and very accommodating. Steve was always very responsive to any questions we had through the whole process. If you're looking to have a smaller intimate wedding, we'd strongly recommend Cellar 222. 

Cellar 222 is a beautiful space, perfect for a small to medium sized wedding. We had our wedding reception at Cellar 222 on 9/29/23. We reserved the ground floor and the bottom floor; the bottom floor being used for the dinner portion and the ground floor being used for our cocktail hour, bartender and dance floor. Steve (venue owner) was an absolute joy to work with throughout our planning process, all the way to wedding day. He made sure that we were coordinating with vendors and keeping all parties informed of the timeline. Additionally, he helped set up the space on the big day, and made himself available to address any questions/concerns that we had. Would gladly recommend Cellar 222 as a venue for any event.

Cellar222 was the most beautiful venue that provided a unique experience for our guests. The split level space made it possible to have two distinct experiences: partying on the top floor and intimate conversations on the bottom floor! Steve did a wonderful job explaining the typical flow of the space with previous weddings and is open to just about any idea. I appreciated his vast experience and honesty with how the wedding industry can gouge young couples. Steve makes a point to provide couples a wonderful space at an incredibly reasonable price. He offered assistance when we had issues with other vendors and even dealt with it for us. Our wedding season wouldn’t have gone as smoothly if it weren’t for him. Not to mention the venue hardly needs decorations because it already has unique furniture pieces that sets the vibe! I cannot recommend this space enough especially with the unbelievable service that comes with it.

Beautiful space. All my guests raved about it. Steve was incredibly helpful through the whole process. Made everything super easy.

We cannot say enough great things about this venue and is owner, Steve. The venue itself is beautiful and requires very little as far as decorating. Our guests loved this place. Steve provided up front pricing and communicated clearly every step of the way. We ended up having our rehearsal here the night before and he accommodated every request we made. The day of, we literally worried about nothing. It was handled! Pro tip: use vendors from his preferred vendor list and you will have a hassle free event. They know their stuff!!

Cellar 222 is such a beautiful venue, perfect for our wedding. Steven was easy to work with, always available, and happy to walk us through any detail, no matter how small. You can definitely tell that he enjoys what he does and genuinely wants to help make your wedding an unforgettable special experience! Huge thank you to Steven for helping to make our wedding a day that we will never forget!!

Cellar 222 was the perfect event space for our Night Before/Rehearsal dinner for 70 people. Steve was a fantastic host and was always available to answer questions and help in any way he could. We used the bar upstairs and had dinner in the lower level and our guest were amazed at the beautiful venue. We are from out of town, and Steve made it all so easy. Real candles on the tables made the entire place shine all night. Highly recommend this beautiful event space- lots of room, beautiful look, plenty of free parking and a great location downtown.

I had my wedding at Cellar 222 and loved it. Steve did a great job answering all my questions. He had amazing recommendations that I went with and it was the best day of my life. When I texted or emailed Steve he was quick to answer and made me feel at ease. I highly recommend using Cellar 222 for your event space!

Cinco de mayo/Star Wars wedding. It was easy to book, very friendly, amazing bridal suite, awesome kitchen for the caterers and spectacular set up for the bartenders. A stage for the bar and a beautiful fireplace for ceremony. Nothing but an awesome experience, the owner will help with any questions and even called the linen company for me because they couldn't get it together! We had an unforgettable experience here with Steve (:

Steve (the owner) was so great to work with. He was quick to respond to my initial emails asking for details about the venue and all my questions throughout the planning process. He provided so many good tips and made us feel very relaxed about the wedding process. We visited the venue several times before the day of our wedding and Steve was great at answering our questions and helping to plan everything out. On the day of the wedding, he sent me a text letting me know everything was set up and ready to go and it was a relief. Our wedding was great and we got so many compliments on Cellar 222. It is so naturally beautiful so there wasnt much extra decorating for us to do. Overall, a beautiful and great venue. Such a great experience and I will continue to recommend to those looking for wedding venues.

We had a smaller wedding (50ish people) and this venue was everything we needed and more! Steve was great to work with and was super calm during the entire process. I toured the venue a few different times with friends and family and he was always so patient with me. The venue looked incredible for our actual wedding and they did a great job of flipping the space between the ceremony and reception. If you are looking for a laid back space that has incredible preferred vendors (catering, bar, and linens) look no further than Cellar 222.

We used Cellar 222 for our wedding reception in March of 2023. We hosted a cocktail style reception with a full bar, heavy hors d'oeuvres, and a 6 piece band for slightly over 150 guests. We had a lot of people in the space, yet it never seemed too crowded. The two floors allowed our guests to spread out and created some separation for those that wanted to dance the night away with the band upstairs (shout out to KC All-Stars) and those who wanted to spend the time talking in the more subdued downstairs. It was an amazing evening and we could not be happier with Cellar 222. Steve did a great job of supporting us and giving us advice along the way. The venue is beautiful and needs no decoration, although we added a few just make it extra special...including lots of candles! From the moment we walked through the space for our initial tour we knew it was the right spot for our event. Aside from the venue being turnkey ready some of the definite benefits of this venue is the flexibility you have to use outside vendors. We opted to use several of the preferred vendors that Steve provided us and they too were awesome to work with (shout out to Top Shelf Bartending, Dutzel Catering, and Sugar Beats Bake Shop). Additionally, as a gay couple we are always attuned to how welcoming the vendors we worked with seemed in the process. Not all businesses are as open minded as we would hope and it was import to us to work with people who are supportive of our tribe. From the start Steve was awesome to work with and it was definitely apparent he was a supportive ally. We honestly have not one concern, complaint, or issue and highly recommend Cellar 222! Cellar 222 is beautiful, affordance, flexible, and in a great location with lots of parking for guests. You will not be disappointed!

Cellar 222 is an absolutely beautiful space. For our small wedding of only 15 guests, we wanted a venue that didn't feel cavernous, but was large and elegant enough to fit the special occasion. While this venue can hold a lot more people, its layout and Tuscan wine cellar decor made it feel cozy and intimate for our ceremony and reception. In fact, the furniture and decor along the walls are so beautiful that we didn't need to bring many decorations of our own, which was perfect since we were trying to keep our day as easy and low-stress as possible. The owner, Steve, is AMAZING. He is so kind and easygoing, and we knew the moment we met him and saw the venue that Cellar 222 was the way to go. He recommended great vendors that frequently work with the venue so the planning process was a breeze, but we also appreciated the flexibility of choosing our own bakery for the cake. Overall, I am SO glad that we chose Cellar 222 for our wedding. I felt so pretty coming down the staircase in my dress to walk down the aisle, and everyone loved the reception that followed and kept talking about how beautiful and unique the venue is. Thank you, Cellar 222!

Cellar 222 was such a elegant and intimate venue for our wedding. I felt like a princess. We did not have to use alot of decor because the venue was such a beautiful space. Steve is such an amazing person to work with and he made sure that all my needs were met. He gave me great ideas and he was so easy to communicate with. I received so many compliments about the venue choice and how beautiful our wedding was.

We couldn’t be more grateful for Steve and Cellar 222 for making our 4-week, whirlwind wedding planning process a reality! My husband and I are expecting a baby boy in the spring, and decided after many years together that we would, in fact, like to get married and throw together a wedding prior to the birth of our son. A quick Google search connected me with Steve and Cellar 222, and within a week of being engaged we secured the venue and got to planning. Steve was communicative and helpful throughout. His recommendations and preferred vendor list made the process easy and affordable. We had an intimate ceremony and dinner by the fireplace, followed by a larger party upstairs complete with DJ and open bar. We could never have imagined how well, beautiful, and FUN it would have turned out, and would not have been able to pull it off without Steve. Would recommend again and again, especially for a cozy, winter party like the one we had. Thank you, Steven and Cellar 222!

The first thing that I would tell you about Cellar 222, is that when you walk in you will be captured by its absolute, intimate beauty. The second thing that will catch your attention is the kindness and as well as the charm of its proprietor, Steven Bell. It is his goal to make your day perfect, truly. On the day of your event, he has it down to a well oiled machine. Everything just flows easily, it is beautiful, and he is correct about candles, at night it is just magical. Don’t pass up this gem. The price is AMAZING! It’s not just a giant dull round ballroom. This has elegant and beautiful little nooks for you and your guests to sit down and feel comfortable. Absolute PERFECTION.

My wife and I utilized Cellar 222 for a rehearsal dinner/welcome party the evening before our wedding, and could not have asked for a better experience. Steven was great to work with and extremely accommodating, while making sure our event was perfect! Additionally, it was an absolutely beautiful space and never felt crowded with our group of roughly 100 individuals. I HIGHLY recommend Cellar 222 for any event!!
