Madrid Theatre

bsolutely gorgeous space that you would love for your wedding!

up! The space was perfect for our large guest list where we occupied both main floor and the upstairs! It has such a beautiful space were decor was very minimal on our end! We highly recommend this space for any future weddings!

us create our vision for our reception. The all inclusive packages were great and so easy for planning purposes. The venue has it's own collection of decorations for you to use at no charge. We also LOVED to see our names on the sign outside- so special! We were just so pleased with how the venue looked for our big day and all of our guests were so complementary about the venue and how gorgeous it was. I would recommend ten stars if I could. Love the Madrid!

nding job keeping everything flowing and on schedule. She was easy to work with and prompt to respond to emails. The venue was breathtaking, upon entering it, the night of the reception. The ornate decor and beautiful lighting added ambiance and we continue to receive compliments about the reception and the venue. I would highly recommend this venue, as it is truly stunning for weddings!

n that comes to your mind without hesitation. Our event seated 230 guests VERY comfortably. We had both our ceremony and reception here and the room flip was a flawless process due to Missy and her team. Highly recommend going for a tour here as The Madrid allows you to borrow anything in their closet of goodies from vases, votives, decor, mirrored centerpieces, etc... They provide dishes, tables, linens, chairs, everything. Price was very reasonable for the countless meetings with the coordinator and for not having to spend a fortune on renting your own things to use only one time.

their set up was easy as well. Missy's ability to work with us, our parents and every other vendor took all the stress off of us and allowed us to soak up the day. Missy checked in throughout the year leading up to the wedding and was quick to answer any of my questions (no matter how small) or meet with me when I was feeling nervous. During the wedding day Missy was on top of everything - constantly checking in to make sure we were good. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to have an elegant and fun night.

in to restore and improve the space is astonishing. If you told me I would throw a party at The Madrid five years ago, I would've said you were crazy. But as it is now, you wouldn't be disappointed and it's only getting better. I wanted a space that was beautiful (check), wheelchair accessible (check), and had a definite presence (check). Missy was amazing and really easy to work with. She helped coordinate with all the vendors, kept the night moving, and adjusted well if we were behind on schedule. Missy is also really good at keeping secrets! Both my husband and I had a couple of tricks up our sleeves to surprise one another at the reception and Missy was tight-lipped. Choosing The Madrid was definitely the right choice for us. We had an amazing live band that killed it on stage. We wanted our reception to be a party and The Madrid far exceeded our expectations.

Guests loved the venue and of course the open bar! Would not have changed anything about our day! Thank you Madrid!

rations, other miscellaneous items is a massive bonus. It leaves you more time to focus on what is important. A huge bonus is that it comes with Missy! She is basically your wedding planner and helps you along the way. Missy corresponded with the florists, the caterer, the cake person, the band, etc. She does it all! I never felt stressed because she was always throwing in and helping. The big day comes and she is available to open up the venue and let you drop off supplies. I went by multiple times to leave stuff for the wedding so she could set it up. Just amazing. The venue was stunning for our reception and the drinks were flowing. Everything was just right. The lighting was beautiful and the decor was fantastic. Wedding planning is a lot of work but the reception was so awesome it made it worth it. YOU WANT YOUR WEDDING AT THE MADRID. You even get a cool marquee for your big day. You basically get to have your own concert on your wedding day. HOW AWESOME IS THAT. The price is fantastic and there are multiple options for every budget. You can do just beer and wine or you can ball out and go top shelf. Missy is so helpful at narrowing down the contract and getting to the final dollars. She is really responsive and helpful. A lot of other venues nickel and dime you. At the Madrid, it is in one and done!

uld have been amazing. But the red curtain was perfect for projecting our GOBO! I could go on and on about how wonderful the Madrid Theatre is, but the best part about the Madrid is Missy! She is there to do whatever you need. She is super attentive and pays close attention to detail. She knows all the ins and outs of the Madrid Theatre, but she also is a wedding planner. She sees everything and notices everything and was SUCH and AMAZING help. When you book the Madrid Theatre you get Missys services as a wedding planner, and can also hire her on for more, like to go to the ceremony with you. Which is what we did and it was THE BEST decision!! It was so great to have her there knowing we could rely on her and she would be there to help and fix any issues that arose. Book the Madrid Theatre for its beauty but also for Missy!!

as incredible. We had our ceremony and reception here, and the flow between the ceremony, to the cocktail hour and flip for the reception was seamless! We utilized the stage with a great band, used the grand staircase for family photos, and the guests never had a wait for a drink at the beautiful Spanish bars. All of our guests said they wanted to all get married again, and use this event space! Missy and the staff were just the absolute best to work with! I highly recommend this venue, and Missy to anyone wanting that beautiful, perfect wedding day.

enue itself is beautiful and everyone still talking about how pretty it was. Missy and crew did a phenomenal job making our life easy before and the day of. VERY happy with this place. Congratulations to the Madrid for the amazing job done.

th. The venue was perfect for having a wedding then being able to move everyone(215) upstairs for cocktails and appetizers while the downstairs was switched to tables for the reception. One thing that amazed me on that night was how truly beautiful everything was and that pictures really don't do it justice. I had many compliments on how gorgeous the Madrid was. My daughter said "it was the best day ever" and Missy was "amazing!"

easy. Even guests at my reception made comments about how well organized and on top of everything Missy was. She contacted every vendor for us and made sure everything was delivered on time and set up prior to our event. I would and will recommend the Madrid to anyone who is looking to have their wedding ceremony and/or reception in Kansas City (any type of event for that matter!).

estioning my planning decisions, etc. Missy was so kind and understanding throughout the entire process. Although I chose to use a wedding planner, Missy is truly on top of things and can handle everything at the reception space if you chose not to use a planner! In my case, she worked closely with my wedding planner to make sure everything was perfection for our wedding day. I was only in Kansas City a handful of times, so our meetings were at the mercy of my travel schedule -- she was always flexible and always made it work for me to come to the space and work through things, even if she was in the middle of setting up for another event!! The day of, the Madrid was STUNNING! It is such a unique space and honestly, I had my own hesitations throughout planning because seeing it empty for a concert, perhaps, does not do justice to the transformation that happens when Missy & her magical team get to work. I heard our guests chattering all night about how special, unique and beautiful the space was. We easily fit a wedding of 290 comfortably, with plenty of space for dance floor, photo booth, cocktail space, buffets, etc. I cannot say enough good things about Missy & The Madrid and I would recommend it to anybody for a unique, romantic, theatre atmosphere.

l and unique it was, and they loved the cocktail hour on the balcony. People are still raving about it more than two weeks later. We loved having our reception there and wish we could relive that day over again, it was such a blast! Missy, the Sales and Event Coordinator is amazing! She has many years of experience in the wedding planning industry, and thus she knows what clients want. She has made a lot of changes through her years of experience to make wedding/reception planning easier for the bride and groom. Customer service is at the top of her list, and almost everything was done by her and her staff, which minimized the number of vendors we had to hire. We went with the all-inclusive package, which includes bar service and bartenders, security at the door, linens (which is super helpful; not all events spaces include this ), wait staff, and set-up and take-down. You pay extra for any time beyond four hours of rental, but it was worth it! It was so nice not having to rent linens from a separate company, not having to pay the bartenders separately, and not having to worry about set-up and take-down. She has specific food vendors she recommends so they're technically a separate vendor, but it was still so easy for us. The food vendors were also very professional. Missy was great at communicating with us, responded promptly to e-mails and phone calls, and even did some work while she was away on her vacation. She was very professional and knows what to anticipate. We were very confident and reassured that she would be in charge the night of the reception.

come wedding time to work with a venue that provides everything like the Madrid does. Would do again in a heartbeat.

urrently live in Los Angeles and was planning our wedding from a distance. The first time we saw the Madrid, we knew that it would be perfect for our reception. My husband works in the movie industry in LA, and it was very special for us to host our wedding in a historic silent movie theatre from the 1920’s. The interior is beautiful, with a gorgeous staircase and lots of gold accents. The theatre is glamorous, romantic, and vintage all at the same time. Missy was amazing to work with and helped with all of the details and with my timeline. She had great suggestions on the layout for the venue. I really appreciated how I was able to drop off my centerpieces with instructions and the staff did all the setup before our reception, and clean-up after our reception was finished. Missy also coordinated with my cake baker, DJ, and photobooth for setup and delivery. This allowed me to have the time to host a bridal luncheon with my bridesmaids on the Friday before our wedding, and I could focus on having fun with my bridesmaids getting ready Saturday morning, instead of stressing out about small things like if the cake delivery was on time. Because we live out of town, we had a lot of guests flying in from LA and NYC. We had about 130 guests, and they were all very impressed by the venue. Our friends from NYC kept asking me, “How did you find this place, it is so amazing?” I’m still hearing comments from our friends and family on what a beautiful and perfect wedding it was. I had several friends comment on how they loved the cocktail hour upstairs on the balcony overlooking the main dining area. After cocktail hour, the guests headed downstairs for dinner and dancing. The dining room looked stunning with the gold chivari chairs and gold chargers. We loved having our names up on the marquee outside. Our photographer and videographer got some amazing photos and video outside the theatre at night. The Madrid was a great value. The Madrid saved us on our budget because we didn’t have the expense of a day-of-coordinator. We didn’t need to spend much money on décor because they allowed us to use their mirrors, table number holders, and glassware for our floral centerpieces. We also didn’t need to invest in draping or uplighting, like we would have at some other venues. We also used the Madrid’s gold easels to hold a welcome sign for our guests at the entrance. Their all-inclusive package included tables, linens, catering, and a bar package, so we didn’t have to deal with multiple vendors and delivery charges because it was all taken care of. On a practical note, when we were searching for venues, we wanted to make sure that the location was close to hotels on the Plaza, had plenty of parking, and guests could easily catch an Uber after taking advantage of the open bar. The Madrid checked all of these boxes off our list! We have been to so many weddings recently with the rustic/country/barn/mason jar theme, and we wanted something different. We wanted to look back at our wedding photos, and host an event that had a more glamorous and timeless feel to it. The Madrid absolutely delivered. We would definitely recommend that you take a tour of this gorgeous venue and see it for yourself!

stage, waiting to get announced along side my husband and wedding party, and peeking through the curtains... What I saw actually blew me away. There was this glow in the room and everything had come together even better than I had planned. Missy went above and beyond and made my wedding image come to life. It was the most beautiful reception I had ever seen, even better filled with all my family and friends. During the reception Missy was always on top of things. She helped keep the reception on track and made sure we knew when it was first dance time, cake cutting time, bouquet toss, ect. The way she helps make it flow is just flawless. She will make it exactly how you want it, no matter what. She is willing to meet as many times as you need to make sure it is how you want it to be; she is very flexible!!! I cannot name ONE THING that went wrong that evening. It was the most perfect day of my life and Missy and the Madrid helped make that happen. If you are looking for a wedding ceremony/reception venue that will be all that you ever dreamed of, Madrid Theater is the place for you!!

tting plans in action. I’d planned my wedding when I was 12, no joke. I’d written it all down in a spiral notebook and put it where no one could find it. I was excited to finally pull it out; laughing a lot at the ideas a 12 year old had regarding wedding planning. We set out to find a venue that could hold a very large number of people, fit our personalities, and offered an amazing value. Kansas City is big, but not that big. We looked at convention centers, mansions, theatres, country clubs, and entertainment venues, both new and old. It became apparent that there were not many that fit our categories and even fewer that were large enough for our families, colleagues, and friends. The other thing we noticed was that in a day and age when times are changing, in Kansas City, some are not. Sadly, we encountered venues that in not-so-subtle ways turned us away. Whether it was a phone message left unanswered, a very obvious “we are booked that date, and the next, and every other”, or just a simple “no”, we were getting disheartened. The last appointment we had was with the Madrid Theatre. Perhaps it was fate or just dumb luck, we met Missy McVicker and the Madrid. We had both driven by the theatre a million times in our lives. As a theatre teacher, the thought of a stage and lights appealed to me. We walked in to the grand lobby, met Missy, and fell in love. If you haven’t been there, the theatre is a throwback to a golden age. It has an old Hollywood feel and is beautifully appointed throughout. When it is lighted and decorated, it is magical. Missy greeted us warmly and never blinked an eye as she started planning what would be our dream wedding. It was obvious that the thought that she was talking to two men never, ever crossed her mind . .we were never made to feel less than, or uncomfortable. In all of our tours and visits, we had never encountered someone like Missy. Missy was helpful, kind, and nurtured the vision of a 12 year old to fruition. Her help in determining a fantastic caterer, placing our guests, and use of a huge amount of her in house table décor took our event from a reception, to a celebration to talk about for years. As we worked with her over the months leading up to our wedding, we also had the opportunity to meet the owners. By happenstance, we came to the theatre to drop off or measure something, and the owners were there working on their venue. Their pride is evident; their warmth was appreciated. The value! We found no venue in the city that compared. When marrying an auditor, budgets are important, and value is key. The Madrid offers world class catering and a fantastic bar service. The staff the evening of the wedding was gracious; making everyone, all 500 and some guests, feel special. I still talk about the server that was assigned to the tables of the wedding party. He knew our names and checked in throughout the evening to make sure our evening was extra special. Our evening was flawless, dramatically beautiful, and beyond my wildest dreams. At 12, when you plan a wedding for the future husband that you don’t want anyone to know about, you include Legos and rainbow sprinkles, huge red roses, and sparkle like no other. Thank you Missy and the Madrid. Bravo!

y and the guests loved the option of the upper balcony. Our guests loved the Madrid and the fact of how spacious everything was and could see the wedding party due to the stage. Missy was awesome to work with and very accommodating.

the moment they walked in. I never had to check to see if anything was being set up or if things were in time. I was able to enjoy the entire event.

ts and what we wanted--and she made two really good suggestions. We had difficulty choosing between those two because they both seemed perfect. She helped us envision all sorts of group size arrangements (because we had no sense of how many of our 300+ invited guests would actually attend). She accommodated what made our wedding unique (we wanted more lighting brought in and she helped us work with that vendor, we used a non-professional DJ, etc.) Missy is incredibly professional, and knows the ins and outs of the Madrid space from her years of experience there. I highly recommend the Madrid as a wedding venue!

Madrid is interesting in architecture, spotlessly clean, and its location is plus for those of us who love being in the heart of Kansas City. Missy McVicker, the coordinator for the Madrid, is wonderful. She is knowledgeable, competent, easy going, and she inspires confidence as she takes care of every detail with an unflappable and professional manner.

even without decorations but the second my florist went to work I just knew the space was going to be perfect for us. The amount of compliments we got was astounding! If you ever have any questions and are honking about booking contact me and I will assure you how great it is and share my experience with you!! Thanks Missy and the Madrid for everything!

ate party. Missy was fantastic to work with so smooth, great communication, and all details were perfect. Highly recommend the Madrid for any event and size as you will not be disappointed with your choice.

nd we enjoyed every minute from planning to partying with our friends and family! Choosing the Madrid Theatre was the best decision we made, besides deciding to get married! I just saw where, the Madrid was voted Best Wedding Venue in KC, I have to agree! It was perfect!

volved & informed throughout the whole process. The theatre is beautiful & it really fulfilled the vision we had for "the perfect place" for our ceremony & reception. It has a lot of charm & is located right in downtown KC. Many hotels are just within a mile of the venue so it was very easy for guests to attend from out of town. I highly recommend the All-Inclusive packages they offer. It makes the planning process that much easier when they are put in charge of many of the details. As a bride, you have enough details to worry about so that was definitely a perk! Thanks again Missy & The Madrid Theatre for making our day so special!

e. It is a beautiful historic venue. The entryway, the balcony and the stage were beautiful. We had the all-inclusive package and it was great! Brancato's was the caterer and it was the best food I've ever had at a wedding. We had a guest list of 350 and everyone was seated comfortably. Everyone was commenting how great the food was. What made this special day stress free was MISSY, the wedding coordinator. Missy and her entire staff were amazing. They made sure everything ran smoothly, which made my day and evening so relaxing. Our guests commented that they had never attended a wedding as organized and as beautiful. We had the ceremony on a Friday evening at 6:30pm, drinks at the bar at 6:45 pm and dinner at 7:00 pm. They have 2 bars and 2 dinner lines, both upstairs and downstairs which made it so easy for all the guests. Restrooms on both levels and elevator if needed. Also, a huge refrigerator for storing anything you might need for the wedding. At The Madrid Theatre they have thought of everything you will need to make your special event great! Thanks to Missy, the owners and their staff, my daughter had the wedding of her dreams and we can't thank you enough!

per person. This made it easier for us to calculate our budget. The convenience of the all inclusive package and coordination is priceless. The outcome was beautiful. Great value! Great service! Great venue!

found the Madrid Theatre. Madrid made it very easy to plan my reception while offering a beautiful venue that fit right into my budget! Our one and only regret is that we did not rent this space for more event time, we never wanted the night to end

ing. My guests really loved the balcony with the extra seating and it also gave them a great view of the dance floor festivities. Missy was so patient and helpful and she was always very quick in responding to any questions. Madrid Theatre is the best!

ere very happy there was an elevator, which was very helpful for our less mobile guests, as well as restrooms on both floors (some spaces we looked at didn't have the bathrooms so well distributed). Our wedding day was absolutely perfect! If Madrid Theatre is on your list for possible venues then drop the others and go with the Madrid Theatre!

building. The wedding coordinator Missy, and the bartenders were all amazing and were all willing to help in any way possible to make our wedding day unforgettable!

s reasonable for our budget, but not the typical hotel ballroom. Madrid was a perfect fit. We did the all-inclusive package, which made it easy for us to plan, and hassle free. Missy, the event coordinator was helpful in planning from the first time we met her through the end of the event. We are still hearing about our party and what a great event it was from family and friends months later. Choosing the Madrid Theatre was one of the best decisions made for our wedding!

ager, Missy. She is attentive, helpful and very responsive to questions. She worked with us regarding our schedule, budget and decor while offering valuable feedback, helpful tips and recommendations. Needles to say, our wedding was magical, easy, stress-free and most importantly....FUN! My husband and I feel proud of our wedding. I give Madrid Theatre my highest recommendation!

d they were incredible as well. A perfect evening.

ous for a reception, though!

utiful and I would advise anyone to use the Madrid Theatre!

h it, I think my day would have been pretty stressful since she manages everything. But she did, and she did a great job. The space is great. We had our wedding and reception there. Much of the glassware and decor they have on hand at the Madrid, so I didn't waste hundreds on those things that I would never use again. The security was great, so even with the midtown location, I felt that parking and security was better than most places.
