Hotel Kansas City

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!

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.

t 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.

es 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!

y 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.

ble 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!

enue, 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!

ss. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

s 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!

p 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!

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!!

e 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!

ltimore, formerly the Baltimore Club, provided us with everything we could ever ask for and more. The venue itself is amazing versatile and can fit any bride's style. We wanted a classic and traditional ceremony followed by a modern cliche reception and Danielle and Deb definitely helped us pull it off! They were wonderful to work with, provided us with vendor recommendations, and accommodated our every need. I would definitely recommend them!

h the 15th floor as a blank canvas for your event. Working with Danielle and the rest of the Baltimore Club staff was really great!

l all the way through. I didn't want anyone to be worrying about details day of and we didn't have to, they worked with our other vendors, had everything scheduled and our day was very low stress. Totally recommend!

l the details in between made it unforgettable. I know a lot of brides probably say this, but my wedding is my absolutely favorite wedding I've ever been to. Danielle at the Brass on Baltimore was ALWAYS a source of calm, cool, and collected when I started to become an anxious bride. They made sure to have my favorite drink waiting for me at the reception, and kept it coming all night long. It was a night that was full of amazing photo ops and memories, and I knew others felt special being there. I HIGHLY recommend the Brass on Baltimore for a reception that is sure to be managed by professionals, and be remembered by everyone.

re Club offers multiple event sites - each with their own ambiance - my daughter opted for the brand new Rooftop venue on the 15th floor. She was looking for a location with downtown views that reflects the essence of Kansas City and could accommodate 150-200 guests for ceremony and reception. This space elegant and has a classic modern feel without feeling stark or cold. The soft neutral color pallet allows your event décor and guests to be the true stars of the night. The room was thoughtfully designed to accommodate dozens of floor plans and any theme. The beautiful terrace that wraps around two sides of the building almost doubles the square footage and gives your guests a one of a kind panoramic view of the city. It doesn't get more romantic than having the stars shining close above you and the city lights twinkling below! The Brass on Baltimore is located within 1-2 blocks of many downtown hotels and within walking distance of the Power and Light District. This was perfect for our out of town guests and alleviated any parking problems. All other amenities -- from the bar to the bathrooms to the built in sound system (no annoying speakers sitting on the dance floor)are first rate. We had our choice of caterer, florist, and music as well as the advice of the knowledgeable and attentive staff. If you are looking for a venue that has it all -- location, ambiance, and a helpful professional staff -- The Brass on Baltimore is the place for you.

eating and firepits. We booked the rooftop while it was still under construction, but we were able to come check it out multiple times while it was being built. Before we even booked the venue and throughout our planning, Deb was really great at giving us suggestions of other vendors to work with and helping us make decisions on what to choose. She was always quick to respond to our emails, and seemed very experienced and professional with wedding planning. She already knew many of our vendors by name before we even picked them. She worked with all of our vendors to coordinate the day of setup, which was great to not have to worry about. We had a cocktail hour in the lobby, which had a great contrast with the modern rooftop space. We got some stunning sunset photos from the rooftop. It doesn’t get much more awesome than dancing on the terrace of the rooftop over-looking downtown Kansas City on your wedding day. There truly is no other venue in Kansas City that compares to this.

ra to take a look at it in person, and after viewing only two venues for our wedding and reception we knew The Baltimore Club was the perfect Venue for us. We had our ceremony and reception in the newly renovated Tudor Room. It had everything we were looking for, the Old Kansas City feel, the beautiful details of the room, the space for our large guest count, and convince for our out of town guest. We booked immediately and started to plan our special day! Sara Storm was our contact throughout the year as we planned, Sara was absolutely AMAZING! She was always quick to respond and answered all of our questions and payed attention to every little detail. She was there the weekend of the wedding to help us with the layout of the room and help coordinate with our Day of Coordinator for who needed to be where and when! She truly was a joy to work with and became more like a friend to us by the time it was all said and done! We also liked that we were not responsible for bringing in the beverages for the reception, they had everything on site for us and we never had to worry about it. Some places you are able to bring in your own and that is great! However, if you happen to run out you can not go get more! With the size of our guest list and knowing how much our wedding guest would indulge, this was extremely important to us! We were also able to choose from two different catering companies that are contracted out by the Baltimore Club. This made our decision easy and saved us so much time as we didn't have to sift through 100 different companies and then decide who to even schedule tastings with. Once the catering company was decided, The Baltimore Club took it from there, it took a lot of detail and coordination off of our plates! The evening of our wedding could not have gone any better than it did, our guest are still raving about the beautiful venue, the helpful/kind staff, and of course the party! Nate and I would highly recommend the Breathtaking Baltimore Club to anyone considering it for their Wedding Reception and Ceremony. You will truly enjoy the experience and professionalism of planning your special day along side Sara, Deb, and their team at The Baltimore Club. We can not thank them enough for everything they did for us and could not be more happy with the way our wedding turned out. It was a dream come true for both of us and a weekend we will never forget. Ryann & Nathan Hemphill Married: May 16, 2015

nd made our day wonderful! They had the room set up beautifully for us exactly how we wanted it. They also took care of all of our vendors so we didn't have to worry about a thing that day. Deb and Danielle were both very easy to get in contact with and always responded quickly whenever I had a question or needed help with anything! The renovations to The Baltimore Club are BEAUTIFUL while still keeping the charm of the old building. So many of our guests commented on how amazing our venue was. Our wedding reception was above and beyond what we ever could have dreamed it to be! Thank you so much!

budget. She has offered numerous suggestions on how to cut costs with floral, cake, and has even spoken with caterers personally for me to make sure they can fit my budget. I have worked with a lot of venues in the KC area so far (Grand Street, Marriott, random event spaces-you name it) and NONE come close to Deb. I just want to say that if you think this place is too expensive talk to Deb-she can work with you and help you have the wedding of your dreams. She checks on me regularly and is NOT pushy or annoying-the kind of salesperson we all want to work with informative and just all around AWESOME! Really really consider the Baltimore Club if you want EXCELLENT service and an absolutely stunning venue.

. They coordinated the vendors and made sure everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend the Baltimore Club.

g event memorable and it ALL turned out wonderful indeed. We received numerous compliments from the guests about the outstanding facility, as well as the historic architectural significance and beauty. Job well done.

. FIRST THING WE KNEW WAS OUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT WAS TO CATER - DIDN'T KNOW WHERE - BUT WE DID KNOW WHAT WE WERE EATING! PLAZA CATERING (ALSO OVER THE TOP AWESOME) RECOMMENDED THE BALTIMORE CLUB AS A POSSIBLE (AMONG OTHERS) VENUE FOR THE RECEPTION. THE MOMENT WE WALKED IN TO INTERVIEW THEM, WE KNEW THAT THIS WAS THE PLACE. IT EXCEEDED EVERY CRITERIA. FIVE STARS! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
