Stanley Historic Space, Aspen Rm/Rooftop, Kingston Rm

ire process and made wedding planning a whole lot less stressful. This is a family owned business, and it is evident!! Thank you Stanley Staff!!

helpful through the process and made planning a wedding seem easy! She was super responsive and answered all my questions and provided suggestions as well. On the day of the wedding, we couldn't be any happier! It went so smooth! Sarita, the event coordinator, was amazing! Her experience and knowledge were key during the wedding; directing vendors, putting up day of decorations, etc... She made everything move so seamlessly! The venue was gorgeous and the staff were so helpful in every way! We couldn't have picked a better venue. We felt so special and would HIGHLY recommend the Stanley event space for any wedding or event!

OVID. One of our favorite aspects was that we had access to all three floors of the venue. The Stanley is so absolutely beautiful and I would definitely recommend this venue to future couples!

mony space is just as dreamy. Our guests loved being able to move upstairs to the reception after the ceremony. The space is incredibly beautiful and the staff is lovely! I would totally recommend this venue to anyone in the KC area.

ith anyone else during such a stressful time. Not only that, but Cindy has an amazing storage room with decorations to use as you please. We looked at multiple venues and really wanted a space that was affordable but beautiful, and that is exactly what The Stanley is. Our day was amazing and I would highly recommend this space and crew!

dreams turn into reality. The venue is absolutely to die for we used the Kingston room, aspen room, and rooftop. Cindy (one of the owners) answered all my questions in a timely manner and made the whole process leading up to the day a breeze. Our day of coordinated could not have been more helpful and accommodating to me or my husband! All around this venue and it’s people are amazing! You’d be silly to choose anywhere else on your special day!! Thank you Stanley staff for being apart of my special day 💕

top. It was just beautiful and the staff is stellar to work with. Beautiful setting for photos and the Sparkler exit was a huge hit at the end. Thank you for making our day the best we could have imagined.

ay 100% stress-free. The space is GORGEOUS and there are so many cool spots in downtown Lee's Summit for pictures which turned out absolutely beautiful! If I could do it all over again I wouldn't change a thing. There is nothing in the Lee's Summit area comparable - call them today, you will not be disappointed!!

ginning when we met Cindy we felt comfortable and supported and were extremely impressed with their attention to detail, responsiveness, and genuine attitudes towards helping our day go smoothly! I didnt have to worry about setting up or tearing down decorations which is something important to me. The day of ran so smoothly that if there were any problems I was blissfully unaware. I would suggest this venue to any bride starting to look! Not only is it absolutely beautiful but the staff makes it low stress so that you can enjoy your big day! Thanks Cindy!

are 3 levels of entertainment space in the Aspen room to fit everyone’s style. I was so happy with how everything turned out on the day of my reception and would recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a beautiful event space.

anning meetings. This venue offers you not only the amazing support along the way, but not to mention the absolutely stunning venue and its’ surroundings. We got married in the Kingston Room, had cocktail hour on the rooftop, and reception in the Aspen Room. The entire venue is so elegant, and beautiful, yet it feels so personal and inviting. My husband and I relocated to Colorado mid-wedding planning and I can honestly say, even planning a wedding states away, Cindy and her team were always here for us. There are countless venues in the metro area, but there is only one wedding venue I would recommend and that is the Stanley. Cindy and your staff, thank you so very much for giving me the wedding of my dreams and so much more!

s up!

ve to ascend the stairs to attend the ceremony, head back downstairs for the dinner portion and ascend once again for the dancing. We took the risk, only being concerned with my grandmother who managed with a little help that evening. Owner, Cindy, was wonderful and answered my e mails the week leading up to the ceremony quickly. Because there may be a ceremony the evening before yours, you may not be able to get into the venue as early as you would like. Fortunately, I had several friends to help set up the ceremony and dinner reception areas. Sarita was our day of coordinator who also handled our rehearsal. She was very sweet to us and took care of what we needed handled. She had kind words for us as she walked us to the car after the evening was over. I do have some suggestions for the Stanley and things for brides to keep in mind. One being that there are two venues here and while seeing another bride on your wedding day is pretty much the last thing you want to see, it's likely to happen. It happened to me while taking photos in the nearest alleyway with my bridesmaids. The parties exchanged kind words and it is what it is. The other slightly annoying part about getting married in the beautiful, smaller venue next to the large Aspen room is that everyone assumes that when you say you're getting married at "The Stanley" that you mean the Aspen Room. The staff there made this mistake leading up tp the wedding, our vendors did too and it made us feel like our venue was downplayed to nearly nonexistent. Just because it holds less people and you want to have a more intimate wedding doesn't make it any less beautiful or special. Sometimes we were made to feel that way unfortunately. Suggestions would be for the bridal suite. Yes, it is small, but it works out. I do think a toilet seat lid is in order. It keeps things from accidentally getting into the toilet and could make for another spot to sit in a pinch. I would also suggest a curtain to cover the mirror over the sink. Your guests are arriving up the back staircase and if that suite door opens, guests can look right into the mirror and see the bride standing at the opposite end of the room. My bridesmaids covered the mirror with a jacket every time the door was opened to prevent this from happening. The only let down I felt revolving around the venue on my wedding day was when I asked for a glass of wine. I noticed the "barefoot" brand label which I know runs $5-6 at the store, but I was paying $20 a bottle for it. I get there's a markup, but that 4 to 1 ratio seems excessive. Also, we were told there would be 10 guests to a table and planned accordingly having two "reserved" signs for our first two tables, one for family and one for our bridal party as we sat at a sweetheart table. Instead there was an odd 8 top table squeezed in the front so our families and bridal party were confused and ended up mixed and a couple scattered. I would have planned appropriately had I known. Overall, we were pleased with the venue, the staff and our day was wonderful.

en I wanted to look at the something borrowed room to browse the decorations after I thought I was already decided. She kept me up to date on weather since we were planning a roof top ceremony, and her staff kept me feeling calm on what could have been a stressful day. Cindy's staff communicated everything with us, and even with a little rain at the beginning of the rooftop cocktail hour somehow we were still able to have the rooftop ceremony of our dreams. Thank you Cindy, Tyler and the rest of the staff at the Stanley for making our day everything and more!

ful to her. Our wedding was an absolute dream. Everything came together even better than I had imagined. Sarita, the on-site coordinator for our wedding, did a wonderful job of helping keep us cool calm and collected. I am so glad I chose to have my wedding at The Historic Space!!!

he features the owners have added, like the candle wall and greenery on the rooftop, made for wonderful pictures. The owners were wonderful to work with as they were both so helpful and encouraging. We met with Cindy several times to go over event details and for her to answer questions. She took her time with us, and helped make the process smooth and peaceful. The staff was also very professional and helpful. Another benefit of choosing the Stanley is that they offer tons of decorations to use in both the ceremony and reception, ie. lanterns, wood slices, vases, cake stand, etc. as well as tables, chairs and linens. The Stanley helped make our daughter's wedding a beautiful event, and my family and I are grateful!

eam come true. We had multiple meetings with Cindy to determine table linens and decor. Candles and flowers were the only decor we purchased for the reception thanks to Cindy's incredible selection of decorations from elegant candelabras to trendy lanterns and everything in between. We had our wedding reception in the Aspen Room and planned for a cocktail hour on the roof, unfortunately the weather did not want to cooperate. Cindy allowed us to move our cocktail hour to the Kingston room and it was absolutely PERFECT. Julie was our day of coordinator and was phenomenal. Everything ran smoothly and I did not have to coordinate at all with the vendors the day of. I could not have asked for a better experience or a more perfect day! Thanks so much to Cindy and her team for an exceptional experience!

for our cocktail hour while our guests arrived, and we then gathered in the Aspen room for our big event. This is a beautiful space, and we had about 200 guests fill it including our DJ, Mike King, and Garozzo's our caterer. The dance floor was large enough with our table design, and we also added the personalized floor-lit signature which was a nice touch. Cindy King was a pleasure to work with in coordinating everything along the way, and Julie our event manager, was really helpful and communicated with me occasionally throughout the evening to make sure I knew how we were doing on the bar beverages, and organizing our video, and sparkler send off. I highly recommend the Stanley Event Space for your special party for a flawless event!

as over and I would no longer be working with them. They listen to you and attend to your needs! I had the best experience at The Stanley.

ht earlier in the week didn’t get put out until one of my bridesmaids found them on the bottom of a cart somewhere - we were also told someone from the Stanley would be directing the wedding party where to go and what to do before the ceremony (what the ushers were to do, etc.) began since we had an off-site rehearsal, and no one was around until right before my bridesmaids and groomsmen began walking down the aisle so it was a little stressful at that point because the ushers weren’t sure what to do. Maybe not necessarily a single persons fault but somewhere along the way these things got missed- but everything ended up being great and the support staff did an outstanding job and was super attentive the whole night! That’s why I am giving 5 stars still!

nd made it convenient - post-wedding drinks, easy to get to. The staff is so easy to work with and offered suggestions and advice that was very much appreciated and used. Leading up to the wedding Cindy met with us as needed, answered our many questions and assured us everything would go great - which it did. I'm so thankful to them for being so great and supportive. The value they offered cannot be ignored. It was not only a great space but the things like decorations, linens, staff, etc. being in-house made things so much easier and affordable. We loved that we were able to use in-house decorations. That saved us money/time/hassle. We picked out what we wanted, told them how we wanted it arranged and it was all set up for us and that was just such a load off. The event manager they provided was so helpful and efficient and I was so glad to have her on many occasions. We would highly recommend them to anyone getting married or planning a large event. It's a beautiful, well put together venue. We know that this venue played a large part in our day going perfect and we're so thankful.

string lighting, chandeliers, beautiful tim ceiling tile in the aspen room, Etc etc etc!!!) it just checked all of the boxes for me! Cindy and her staff (from wedding day coordinators, bartenders, bar-backs, etc) they all delivered and went above and beyond. Everyone, including us, was in Awe of the set-up and decor saying how beautiful it was. Planning your wedding is not easy and some will day it can be the most stressful thing you will ever plan in your life, but Cindy, every meeting we had about details and finalizations, she made the process THAT much easier. I am beyond impressed and so happy we forever have a home at the Stanley 😊

tiful the rooftop ceremony/ reception was. Thank you!

e the historic space for a more intimate feel and I have no regrets. Everyone was talking about how beautiful it was. They include things like linens and lighting that made planning super easy. I know I'm biased but they really are the best venue you could fund!
