We booked the Tudor Ballroom at Hotel Kansas City, and it was truly the perfect venue for our Halloween wedding! Having the suite as our getting-ready space, doing our first looks in the Starlight Ballroom, and hosting both our ceremony and reception in the Tudor Ballroom made the entire day feel seamless and special. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how gorgeous Hotel Kansas City is, from the incredible food and drinks to the convenience of having everything in one place. Every corner of the building is stunning, and I couldn’t have imagined a more perfect place to get married. We will treasure our photos from this venue forever!

We booked The Starlight Terrace (ceremony space with outdoor views and great picture opportunities of the city), The Presidents Ballroom for the dinner and party, the Library for the girls' breakfast and getting ready space. We also had two suites - one bridal and one groom - and they were lovely, so relaxing, perfect for 'getting ready shots'. I highly recommend staying in them as the bride!
Lois was an absolute DREAM to work with, as she truly MADE the experience. She was patient, timely, exact with what she did, professional and we are aware she did FAR more than what was intended. We have spoken out on numerous occasions, letting the hotel know that Lois is the reason for the positive reviews and a wedding deserving of the high price.
We blocked rooms for guests and those filled as soon as we opened them to everyone. The only downfall was the limit, so some of our guests who couldn't get into the black had to pay over $1k/night as Mon night football and ESPN were in the hotel/staying the same weekend, so prices were exacerbated. The guests all did enjoy the rooms and amenities, which is always lovely to hear when hosting.
Having the bar downstairs, a relaxing lobby, nice restaurant all contained in the same building was a positive for us, as well. We had a few small issues. One was due to a theft of a vehicle of a guest who had their car taken by the hotel vallet service to their 'secured' area. It was 6 months of headache after assuming the hotel had a more secure area than just behind the hotel where anyone can easily access the vehicles. Not only this, but the police couldn't obtain clear video as the hotel didn't have that available. The second issue was the cake not being served. We had guests inquiring, which prompted the staff to cut and place out for everyone, which was strange. The third small issue was the nickel and diming that occurred even a month after the event for vendors wanting to be reimbursed for their valet service or a coke from a room. It seemed a bit unnecessary after you've paid around $60k for the wedding venue.
I will say, the staff were all lovely. One of the other hotel planners was being pushed by her bride (wedding the same day in a different room) wanting to take photos in our rented spaces. Instead of just sneaking them in or allowing it, she came directly to me to inquire. These small touches are the kind of classy, trusting environment we experienced throughout. Thank you, Hotel KC, for a beautiful wedding. You'll always be a part of our special day and core life memories.

Our wedding reception in the Tudor Ballroom was an absolute dream! Hotel KC is a timeless, elegant venue. We did the eternal package and it was perfect. The suites are beautiful ge...
tting ready spaces and there are so many great spots in the hotel for photos. Our cocktail hour was on the Tudor balcony with the dinner and reception in the ballroom. It was stunning and the food was amazing! The day of staff were amazing as well, even despite some chaotic weather. Bethany and the room reservations team were also amazing and super responsive/accommodating to our requests. We used the Starlight ballroom for our farewell brunch and it was also perfect.
The reason I knocked down a star is because the Events Team at Hotel KC was a bit of a mess. We had a great initial tour and contract finalization with Tressa. However, when we went to book a space for the welcome drinks the night before, we were told the room was ours, and then after chasing for a contact, were told the corporate sales team actually gave it to someone else. We did get some concessions for this but it was stressful. There was also a lot of turnover on the event management team and our event manager changed three times within the two months leading up to our wedding. With each new event manager, my planner and I had to re-spell out every detail related to our wedding and chase for responses frequently. The billing team also completely missed one of our deposits on the final invoice, which they did correct after I flagged a few times. Once we got to the day of the wedding, everything was fine but you need to be a Type A bride or have a Type A wedding planning to stay on top the coordination, payments, and details. In my opinion, it’s worth it for a stunning space and amazing food. We had the best time and our guests loved the hotel as well.
Any questions?

HotelKC is an extraordinary venue as far as the beauty of the hotel and rooms...but, we had problems with the front desk keeping track of our guests room charges at the front desk-...
which meant the MOB was dealing with the front desk issues 2 hrs before our daughters wedding-which took a month after the wedding to finally get things straightened out. AND we also had issues with the dinner reception service...no rolls were served until I asked and most importantly our daughter's 4 tier wedding cake was not served during the wedding...only a 1/2 sheet was served which was supposed to be only served if the 4 tier cake was out-so most of our guests did NOT receive any of the McClains wedding cake-they also did not keep the dessert table stocked with the cake. Another issue was our wedding planner, Composure, did not pay attention to this matter either so bottom line...as the MOB...everything still falls on YOU...even with the best well laid plans & a wedding planner who should of been on top of it.

There are so many beautiful venues in Kansas City and beyond, but choosing Hotel KC ended up being one of the easiest, and best, decisions I made while planning our wedding. I orig...
inally toured the space thinking it might be out of reach, but I just had to see it in person. After visiting and chatting with their team, I was genuinely surprised by how attainable it was for our guest count. What really sealed the deal was the value of having so much included in-house catering, full bar service, tables, linens, chairs, even the suites. When I compared the cost of piecing it all together through separate vendors, Hotel KC just made so much sense. It took a huge weight off my shoulders and made the entire planning process feel smoother. If you're looking for a venue that’s not only gorgeous but also thoughtfully run, Hotel KC is it. I couldn’t recommend it more.
The venue itself is stunning and elegant, full of history and charm, without feeling over the top. Its location in the heart of downtown KC made for an incredible view, especially for our out-of-town guests who completely underestimated how cool Kansas City really is. I loved that there were multiple ballroom styles to choose from, and the space didn’t need much dressing up to feel special. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the food, the atmosphere, and how seamless the day felt. The staff truly went above and beyond. I was able to relax and be present knowing we were in such good hands. Huge shoutout to their Event Planning Manager, Lois, she’s great. The number of questions she answered and the way she guided me through the process deserves a gold medal. I felt completely supported every step of the way.

Hotel Kansas City was a BEAUTIFUL place to have our wedding. I just love the glamour, drama, history, and elegance of it. We had our ceremony on the terrace overlooking Kansas City...
, cocktail hour in the bar by the terrace, and the reception in the Starlight Ballroom. All of our guests raved about THE FOOD, which was SO SO GOOD. It was not generic wedding food, it was unique and interesting and DELICIOUS, everyone was so impressed. It did cost us an arm and a leg, and we even had a discount because we had a Friday wedding. But, I wouldn't change a thing. The service was also incredible. All the servers knew my name! I felt like a queen. The 'King Loft' suites that came with our package were incredible. Perfect place to get ready and spend our first nights as husband and wife! Also, we did EVERYTHING in that hotel: getting ready, getting coffee, getting hitched, the reception, then we partied it on down to Nighthawk at the end of the night. It's really a one-stop shop for the best day of your life. AND, we can go back any time and eat at The Town Company and stay there for the mems, which we will absolutely be doing for anniversaries and special occasions for years to come. HKC is a special place for us!

Also, being able to have all of our out of town guests in the same place as the welcome drinks (Nighthawk) and wedding day events made everything totally stress free in the middle of January.

Hotel Kansas City is a completely unique and absolutely gorgeous hotel. It is a beautiful tribute to the buildings own history and to Kansas City itself, and is well worth a visit ...
regardless of whether or not you’re spending the night - but you certainly wont regret it if you do!
Personally, I stayed at Hotel Kansas City to utilize it as a bridal suite, and it was the perfect place to get ready at/in and to have as the backdrop for some fabulous photos. The staff are all very professional and accommodating - from the valet(s) to the front desk and everyone in between. We made several requests that were all accommodated graciously, and all of our personal items, from valet parked cars to luggage and food delivered to our room, where handled with care. My guests were absolutely blown away by the beauty of the entire building - from our Loft Suite King room to the stairwell/chandelier to the lobby.
The room itself was stunning. We had a fabulous view of Kansas City and were able to comfortably accommodate 16 people (as well as food and hair/makeup styling products). It was very clear that a lot of thought and care had gone into making the room ready for us; from the local goodies that were left inside to how pristine the room was.

f beautiful, bright light Downtown Kansas City, The Brass has it all for you!
Planning: Deb and Lindsay at The Brass are wonderful! They are experienced, professional, knowledgeable and just very nice people. They know the routine and make it easy to plan your celebration. They provide a full package that guides you through the planning. They provide a list of accepted vendors that frees you from worrying about insurance, bonding, dependability and quality. The list is long so you have a wide variety to choose from, but you know they are all able to do a quality job. I actually leaned on Deb’s experience and expertise and proceeded without the expense of a wedding planner. That turned out to be a great decision for us.
Performance: We had the Ceremony and the Reception on the Rooftop. Obviously, weather plays a factor but Deb allowed us to make the inside/outside decision right up to the final day. They have experienced it all so they were calm and confident they could handle anything that came up. And, they did. Beautifully and professionally. Their confidence kept us calm and relaxed also. They handled the change from rows of seating for the service to beautiful tables for the dinner and reception quietly, efficiently and professionally while our cocktail hour flowed smoothly nearby. The bartenders were professional, knowledgeable very pleasant and hard working the entire night. The clean lines of the Rooftop ballroom allow you to work with Deb, your florist and entertainment provider to paint the canvass in the colors and styles that work for you. It was beautiful that night and exactly what we wanted.
I enthusiastically recommend The Brass on Baltimore for your marriage or other special event! The choice of venues, the excellence of Deb and her staff makes it a unbeatable destination.

Once I got engaged, I started the venue search, and it certainly was daunting. I knew I wanted a venue in the city, so The Brass was on my list for venues to check out. Needless to...
say...I was BLOWN AWAY. It is a unique and exquisite venue! We chose the grand lobby for our ceremony and the rooftop for the reception. It ended up being a gorgeous blue sky day in late October for our wedding and our guests were so impressed with the venue. They loved being able to walk out onto the large, wrap-around terrace and hang out by heat lamps and fire pits. Deb, who was amazing, worked with us initially at booking, then we were assigned Katie Loomis as our coordinator. I must say The Brass has some incredible staff. They have excellent communication - every email was promptly returned and every detail addressed! Days before the wedding day, I truly felt like we had everything figured out and I wasn't stressed at all, knowing that the experts at The Brass had everything covered. Once the big day arrived, I was able to have fun and not worry about a thing! Staff were super attentive to guests, and Katie checked on my family, my groom, and myself repeatedly through the night!! She offered to get us drinks, food, dessert, you name it! I honestly don't know how she did it - she was everywhere! If you're looking for a venue that will guide you every step of the way, look no further than The Brass. They are worth every penny and go above and beyond to meet you needs! I didn't ever feel like I needed a wedding planner. The Brass has worked with many of KC's well-known vendors as well, which is super helpful because everyone knows the in's and out's. I am so pleased with and grateful to The Brass and staff for making our day perfect. THANK YOU!

Deb has a keen eye for perfection and makes sure floors are clean, there are no marks on any of the bright white walls, and the clear chairs all look like new. My mother has very very high standards and the Brass exceeded her expectations. We truly couldn't have asked for a better reception. There is no other venue in Kansas City like the Rooftop. If you want a sophisticated, timeless wedding that no one will forget, do it on the Rooftop at The Brass on Baltimore!

e initially had concerns about the number of guests we were inviting and the capacity of the Tudor Room. Closer to the wedding, we were in touch with Meredith Coleman who was proactive in setting up times to meet with us, and professional in answering our questions and helping us plan the numerous details of our wedding day. When it came to the day of the wedding, the staff at Brass on Baltimore was fantastic. The bartenders, staff who flipped the room, etc were all so professional, and the day could not have gone more smoothly! Our guests loved the space. It’s so timeless, beautiful, and unique. I loved our experience with Brass on Baltimore - some tips to future brides would be to read over the contract closely so you are aware of all of the rules and stipulations, and also, if you plan to utilize the Tudor Room, pay close attention to the timing of your event and the timing of sunset so you make sure you have some time in there while the stained glass is still bright and beautiful!! :)

They also commented on how lovely the staff was to them during the cocktail hour and moving them from the foyer to the Tudor Room. This venue is an absolute statement and the people there make sure you are well taken care of!

We were lucky enough to book The Brass in 2014-about 2 years before our wedding & before the renovations had begun! The venue was so pretty before & now that the renovations are co...
mplete, it is absolutely the most gorgeous venue in Kansas City. We loved our experience with The Brass & especially enjoyed working with Deb & Syl. The Brass Staff has a great relationship with our Wedding Coordinator, Hannah (Weddings by Hannah) which made our planning process seamless! We hosted our Cocktail Hour in the Lobby, followed by our Reception in the Tudor Room & oh boy, EVERYTHING was SO GORGEOUS & CLASSY! Syl was so sweet & made sure my new husband & I both had everything we needed all night. The space is perfect for everything we wanted, a large head table, a fun band & a photobooth! The space also accomodated for a large guest list! One of my favorite parts of the night was exiting in a conga line down the gorgeous staircase! We love The Brass & would recommend it to anyone who wants to host an impressive & flawless event! Thank you all so much!

From the very beginning, the Brass took the time to answer all of our questions and explain how things would go on the wedding day. We were initially paired with a wonderful salesp...
erson, Danielle, who spent about two hours walking us through the event spaces in the building and patiently answering the MANY questions we had. We went to see one other venue after touring the Brass - the salesperson pretty much said "so this is the space" and showed us around for maybe 10 minutes. We walked straight back to the Brass to sign the contract! We ended up holding both our rehearsal dinner and wedding reception at the Brass. Danielle left the Brass a few months after we booked the venue, and we ended up working with Deb and Syl to finish out our planning process! They were both wonderful to work with, and Syl brought our day to the finish line!
Our rehearsal dinner was held in the Library, which is a smaller room, and everything was seamless! The reception was held in the rooftop ballroom, and it was the best night of our lives! I think it's easily the best reception venue in Kansas City. We ended up doing many of our pictures our on the balcony and in the lobby of the building, and I can't wait to see how they turn out with such a beautiful backdrop! The planning process was slightly disorganized at times since we worked with several different coordinators, but overall everything went smoothly and the actual events could not have been handled with more professionalism! Syl was constantly checking on my husband and I to make sure that we and our guests had everything we needed, and she worked with our vendors to make the room look absolutely beautiful! We both were very relaxed knowing that everything was in Syl's hands, and she made us feel like there was no question or request too small or too big for her to handle. Cannot stress enough how amazing this venue is!

It was a great 2 days with your families at The Brass on Baltimore! We loved that we were...
able to participate in your Wedding Reception as well as your rehearsal dinner. I truly appreciate and understand your comments on the staffing changes that have occurred in the past year and am thrilled that Syl has joined our team ~ I am doubly excited that after all was said and done with those said changes, you landed with exactly the perfect fit for you. Thank you so much for taking the time to review and for choosing The Brass On Baltimore.

vide us with a seamless and relaxed event. I am sure they were behind the scenes working really hard, but all we experienced was a relaxed and fun wedding reception. Syl guided us through the many decisions that need to be made with professional confidence and respect. So with this venue, you get all that AND the most spectacular ballroom with amazing views of Kansas City from the outdoor terrace! Thank you Brass on Baltimore!

When looking for a wedding venue, I was looking for a space that could accommodate my ceremony and reception, felt contemporary but incorporated traditional details, and would give...
my guests a truly unique experience. The Brass on Baltimore was everything that I wanted – and MORE.
We had our wedding at the Brass on Baltimore on Saturday, October 1, 2016. Our ceremony was hosted in the Grand Lobby, and we moved up to the Rooftop following. Both spaces are breathtakingly beautiful. The Grand Lobby features historical charm mixed with contemporary elements, and the Rooftop – wow, there are just no words. This space gives you the most insane view of Kansas City. Our guests loved the outdoor fire pits and could not stop taking photos of the scenery. This is slightly embarrassing, but I cried (I'm a crier, especially when it comes to anything wedding-related...) the first time I saw the space because I was so impressed. Deb handled my pre-wedding tears like a champ and told me that is the exact reaction she hopes brides have when they come into the venue. She was wonderful to work with during the initial planning steps, but Meredith Coleman was the superstar of our wedding. She is on-the-ball, professional, and poised. She is well connected in the KC wedding industry and had an almost-immediate solution to any problem we faced.
The Brass on Baltimore is truly the most beautiful wedding venue in the Kansas City area. You will not be disappointed if you choose this space for your wedding. Deb, Meredith and team, the Schnorings cannot thank you enough! Our day was beyond magical. Thank you for everything! xo.

Phenomenal venue.
I got married two years ago in July and this venue blew all the others out of the water. I held my ceremony at a church on Broadway and we had the reception here...
, afterwards.
Everything went off without a hitch and could not have been more perfect. Management & staff were professional, friendly, concise and responded quickly to any communications.
Price tag may be a hefty one, but it was well worth it. To this day, we still have wedding guests talking about that night and how incredible it was.
In conclusion, I highly recommend this venue and will happily refer anyone planning an event to consider it.

Absolutely beautiful venue! We chose minimal decorations for the Grand Lobby because the room needed no enhancement. The Rooftop reception provided one of the most spectacular view...
s of the city. Our guests couldn't stop raving and taking pictures outside. The weather was perfect so we were able to throw open the doors allowing seamless flow from inside table seating to the balcony. Meredith Coleman and the staff were so helpful and accommodating. They made sure all the details were in place and answered all questions we had as well as added some ideas we didn't think of. KC and Sarah's day went off without a hitch. Such a wonderful occasion!

The Brass on Baltimore is beautiful! They have wonderful rooms to offer; each with different styles. We got married in the Grand Lobby and had our reception on the rooftop. It wa...
s beautiful and Meredith and her staff were phenomenal! The only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is because of all of the rules they have. No guest is allowed to touch glass after the wedding (if they have been drinking), which caused a lot of issues with my floral arrangements. We wanted to give our flowers to family members and friends so we had to change all of our flower arrangements to not include glass. It doesn't really make sense because all alcohol is served in actual glasses.
Another issue is they require all vendors to sign an independent contract policy. I was told all pre approved vendors had no problem signing the document. That was definitely not the case. Two of out the five vendors had never heard of this and one refused to sign it. She even got her attorney involved.
If you can play by their rules this is a beautiful, elegant venue. My coordinator was Meredith and she had great ideas, was attentive, organized, and wonderful the day of.

here. What made our experience even more amazing was the incredible staff -- Meredith was always there to help and answer any questions we had throughout the whole planning process. She was always quick to respond and helped make our day run as smoothly as possible. Deb was also so wonderful during our first meetings and had some really great suggestions when it came to the logistics of planning our reception, etc. It really makes your life easier as a bride to know that you have an organized, knowledgeable, and passionate team of professionals working to make your big day a spectacular event that you and your guests will remember forever. I'm so thankful for everyone at the Brass for helping to make our wedding such a beautiful, memorable time for us and our family and friends!

The Brass on Baltimore was PERFECT!!! My venue was my favorite part of my entire wedding (besides the groom of course). From the very first meeting with them, they were beyond prof...
essional and helpful. Besides the uniqueness and beauty of the venue, Deb was one of the main reasons I decided on The Brass on Baltimore. We looked at about 18 venues in downtown Kansas City and she was more professional and knowledgeable than any other venue manager or staff member I met. This is so important when you're looking at venues because you will be working with these people very closely through the planning process and they will be a huge part of your wedding day. Deb never made me feel bad for asking questions or asking for anything. She was always prompt in her communication and went completely above and beyond to ensure that our day was perfect. She came through with everything she promised us. I didn’t worry about one thing regarding the venue on the day of our wedding because I knew they had everything taken care of and I completely trusted them. In addition, they didn’t nickel and dime us. They were completely reasonable. Our ceremony was in the lobby, which was GORGEOUS! We had minimal flowers because the room was naturally so beautiful. I love the pictures from our ceremony. It looks like we’re in a beautiful old church. Our reception was in the rooftop room, which is spectacular with some of the best views of Kansas City. I loved the open windows and terrace. It made for such an elegant and glamourous feel. I didn’t want to leave at the end of the night! I would’ve lived there if I could Our guests said the staff and bartenders were so friendly and went out of their way to accommodate all the requests. My husband and I were never without anything that night. They made sure we had food, drinks, and anything we needed. I never even went to the bar because they were waiting on me hand and foot! I cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue. They are one of a kind in Kansas City and our wedding couldn’t have been better. I also love how they have different rooms depending on your style and wedding size. If you want traditional or modern, they have something for you. If you have your wedding at The Brass on Baltimore, you will not be disappointed!

fessional, quick to respond to my phone calls and numerous emails and was efficient in any problem solving we needed. She was present at our wedding and worked efficiently throughout the evening. Meredith was lovely to work with. Multiple guests commented on the beauty of the Tudor Room. We had a cocktail hour in the Lobby of the Brass which was excellent as well. We couldn't be happier. All of our vendors were excellent. Our wedding planner was Nellie at Events by Nellie and I can't say enough wonderful things about how helpful, pleasant and competent she was. Nellie was easy to communicate with and offered excellent guidance. Nellie is just fun to work with. Olive Events provided our delicious cocktail hour food and dinner for the reception. Yummy with a beautiful presentation. Olive was great to work with and created a menu unique to our daughter/fiancee. Good Earth Flowers (Ashley) provided all the gorgeous flowers. We received many compliments on how unusual and beautiful the flowers, the archway, bouquet and the boutonnieres were. Good Earth really listens to your preferences. Wyncoop was our DJ and they were wonderful guiding the evening events with proficiency yet not taking over the show. The dance floor was full all evening! The Grays Photography was again wonderful to work with. They were creative and efficient( which is important) and so so pleasant. All the vendors along with the Brass on Baltimore worked seamlessly together!

We had our wedding here on 4/30/16 - ceremony in the Grand Lobby with the reception to follow on the rooftop. It is a beautiful venue and it turned out to be the most perfect day/n...
ight so we were able to keep all of the doors open on the rooftop and guests really enjoyed the gorgeous view of the city and being able to hang out on the terrace area.
If you are considering Brass as your wedding venue, I recommend that you use vendors from their preferred vendor list for a couple of reasons. First, the logistics of the rooftop are fairly complicated and you will want vendors that have experience up there, especially your caterer and band/DJ. Second, and this is the only reason they received 4/5 stars, they were not as friendly with my vendors that they had not worked with before and at times were slightly difficult to work with overall.
We would not change a thing though, because we felt like our wedding turned out absolutely perfect and all of the staff at Brass made sure of it! The building manager, Deb, was even there most of the night making sure everything ran smoothly which I did not expect but thought was so nice! I definitely recommend this venue for the modern bride looking for a real "downtown Kansas City" experience. You will not regret it and your picture will turn out FABULOUS!

rvice standard of "Never Ordinary...Always Extraordinary" does not only apply to all of our incredible clients, but to all vendors whom they choose, to make their wedding day the best day ever! (regardless of whose list they are on). Taking the time to make new vendors in the facility comfortable with the event space, provisions and travel about the building, only enhances the day for our couples and makes for a stress free and extraordinary outcome. I apologize on behalf of The Brass On Baltimore staff that we missed the opportunity to make our partnership with your vendors a positive experience. Thank you for the opportunity to improve our business. Best Wishes to you both and your families!

the experienced and knowledgable staff made our day that much easier. The venue will provide a catering list to go off of, and if you use a new a caterer it's a fee. DO NOT let that scare you away from having your reception here. Everyone that works at Brass on Baltimore knows what they are doing and make your day so great! Our guests were and still are raving about the food we had at our wedding and that is thanks to the expertise of picking a good caterer on Brass on Baltimores part. They had everything organized for us and made our day SO special and smooth. Thank you Brass on Baltimore!!

We had a winter wedding at the Brass on Baltimore and we had booked it before construction was even complete and it lived up to our expectations and more! The ceremony was in the ...
lobby which gave a classic feel and then the reception was on the new top floor/rooftop space with a very modern feel. Deb was great to work with! The space was beautiful and the service was fabulous. Even though the wedding was in January, we still enjoyed the rooftop balcony with fires and heaters - it was perfect to cool off after so much dancing! We had about 210 guests and it was just big enough (so I would not book the rooftop if you have any more than that!)
I am so so so happy we got marred at the BoB. It was the best party ever!

They were wonderful to work with, provided us with vendor recommendations, and accommodated our every need. I would definitely recommend them!

We had the privilege of being the very first event on the 15th Floor Rooftop Terrace and I was stunned with how beautiful the room turned out the day of. Everything was transformed...
! Modern with a touch of art deco, you really can't go wrong with the 15th floor as a blank canvas for your event. Working with Danielle and the rest of the Baltimore Club staff was really great!
