The Grand Hall at Power & Light

gable and kind about answering any questions we had for our wedding weekend. The space was perfection, absolutely breath taking. It had marble, accents of gold...very regal and elegant. The Grand Hall offers the second floor Mezzanine to be used as our cocktail hour space offering sofas, lounge chairs and multiple rounds for people to stand at while our guests ate Hors D'oeuvres and drank alcohol while waiting for us to take our personal one-on-one photos on top of The Grand Hall's Rooftop Terrace. The venue also provided a bridal suite and a grooms suite for the 'getting ready' process. Dom, the Bar Manager, was very informative about which alcohol would suit our wedding day best and made sure to find us our preferred Champagne and we even got to choose a personal cocktail for both the bride and groom. The bartenders were extremely sweet and our guests loved how much fun they were having while serving everyone. Tyler and Dom were an amazing pair to work with and they made sure our wedding day was flawless. The space held our 170 person guest count very comfortably and the dance floor was extremely large for all of the tables that fit around it. We could not have imagined having our wedding reception anywhere else, the space was absolutely perfect. The Grand Hall has done an amazing job choosing Tyler and Dom to support us- we wouldn't have wanted to do it with anyone else!

ing and after the event from our guests raving about the beauty of the place and how perfectly set up it was. I am so happy that this was the venue for our big day!

ion. There is also a great bridal and grooms suite. Tyler, Mallory, and Dom were each such a pleasure to work with. They were miracle workers and can handle anything that can be thrown their way. We are so fortunate to have stumbled across this venue!

with all our family and friends we had originally invited in Oct. 2021. The Grand Hall team was flawless and took amazing care of us at both of our events. If anything went wrong, we had no idea. Our photos are beautiful and the space was so elegant. All of our guests told us how awesome the venue was.

st day of the year (2/12/2021). Can't say enough good things.

oms” were incredible!

partners throughout the whole experience. Tyler walked us through many different floor plans for both events and showed us pictures of past weddings and events for inspiration. With our numbers changing so often, we had to adjust the floor plan quite a few times. He also helped us quickly whenever we had a question on billing or timing of payments. Dom helped us research some amazing cocktails for our signature cocktails. For our first one, he helped us create the “Should’ve been Singapore Sling” to reflect our cancelled Honeymoon. For our second event, he helped us create “Maldivian Biyadhoo” and suggested that we look into specialty glasses from our vendor Ultrapom. The glasses were very reasonable and made a huge difference. He also worked with us to track down specific wines and liquors and gave us some suggestions. I would recommend doing the high-end liquor package (comes with a free signature cocktail), it was well worth it. There were so many other great benefits at the Grand Hall: 30 minutes on the rooftop, selecting the tower light color, rooms to get ready, and it’s right across from the Hilton President Hotel/Drum Room…. Overall, we had an amazing experience at the Grand Hall and could not be more pleased with the sincere service and experience of the Grand Hall team.

oking for. Tyler the event coordinator and Dom the venue manager were incredible to work with. Each time we met leading up to wedding day they were professional and welcoming and their response time was quick. The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect! Tyler and Dom went above and beyond to make sure the venue was set up the way we designed and the bar ran smoothly. I wish I could relive this day over and over. Again, I cannot recommend this venue enough!

s to The Grand Hall, we actually got to do both! We fell in love with The Grand Hall from the moment we visited it back in 2019, and immediately knew this is where we wanted to have our celebration. I don't think we ever could have imagined what the next year would bring, but I can't tell you how grateful we were to work with Tyler and Dom. They were so flexible and accommodating and went out of their way to make sure that our day was perfect despite the COVID situation that was out of our control. We've heard horror stories from other COVID brides and grooms who worked with vendors that weren't willing to work with them despite the circumstances, and our experience was the exact opposite. Because they were so great to work with, we actually decided to have an intimate wedding here in 2020 and a big celebration in 2021, so we got the best of both worlds! In addition to our amazing experience with the staff, we love the downtown vibe of the building and the fact that it's so gorgeous on its own that you don't have to put a lot of effort into planning out elaborate decorations. Also, the bride and groom suites that you can get ready in are clutch! It's so nice not to have to worry about where everyone is getting ready on the day of the wedding. If you're considering The Grand Hall, take it from someone who got married there twice in less than 365 days - do it! You won't be disappointed.

each of our guests. It's so convenient to be able to get ready on site, and the photos on the roof are gorgeous!

hange it quickly and it worked out perfectly. They were very laid back and just overall easy to work with. We can't say enough about their help and overall work.

g until the end Tyler and Dom and staff did an outstanding job of professionalism, service and class. We were blown away by everything. Bride and Groom if you are looking for that historical and classic but "Grand" venue this is that hall to chose. I highly recommend having your Dream wedding here. Thanks Grand Hall

reception next year when it's safe to have big crowds again, and we've already booked The Grand Hall because we loved it so much. From the wedding party suites on site to get ready at to the grand staircase entrance to every tiny detail, it was the perfect reception venue for us and we can't wait to work with them again next year!

blowing in the wind, he always made sure my bridesmaids and groomsmen were comfortable and checked in multiple times to make sure everything was on track. I cannot imagine getting married anywhere else. All of my guests were astounded by the beauty of the venue. It definitely made our special day one of a kind.

tunning and timeless. We were concerned the space might be too large for our event (approximately 175 people), but the in-house team did a great job at spacing everything to balance the bar area/dance floor/tables. The Bridal and Groom suites were extremely convenient and were really put to good use. We did our "First Look" on the morning of the wedding on the 31st floor's terrace, and despite some heavy wind/cloud cover, it turned out perfect. I also wanted to thank the management for allowing us extreme flexibility when it came to changes in the bar packages. While the venue altered the options, we were able to still receive either comparable or superior options at no extra cost to us for the hassle (these changes were also proactively discussed with us well in advance of our wedding). We can't thank the team at the Grand Hall enough for making our wedding day go so smoothly.

without a hitch. Our guests were in awe. Thank you thank you thank you!

e of a kind and so unique to Kansas City. Because of this, we knew our guests would also love it and they did! The mezzanine level was perfect for our cocktail hour and guests had plenty of space to enjoy themselves. The ballroom is so spacious that it allows for couples to have the room set up in various ways. We spent most of the day getting ready at the Grand Hall and utilized the space for our pictures. By the time the reception began, we really understood why everyone said the space was so magical! With the uplighting from Fernando Productions and the floral with Hitched, everything came to life! Overall, the service at the Grand Hall couldn't have been better. We appreciated everything that Jessica, Lauren, and the team did to make our day so memorable. They were quick to answer our emails, especially as our day came closer about table set ups, coat check, etc. Our ceremony was offsite and ended sooner than we expected. Most of our Guests showed up to the Grand Hall sooner than we had intended. However, Jessica and Lauren worked with our planner at Hitched to jump into action for the cocktail hour. Overall, this space and the service is one of the reasons why our day was so magical! Do not hesitate to book with the Grand Hall as it is the most beautiful venue in town!

y needing lots of space—I knew The Grand Hall would be my venue of choice. The guests could not stop gushing about the service and the buildings elegance. The team was excellent to work with, very friendly and helpful! From the moment I entered the venue on Wedding Day to the moment I left a married woman, I felt like Cinderella in a beautiful ballroom. If I could give The Grand Hall more than 5 stars, I would! Definitely recommend this venue to all!

ved rave reviews including other cocktails ordered by guests. They worked seamlessly with our wedding planner which made for an incredible event everyone is still talking about. We all stayed across the street at the Hilton President Hotel, which was ideal!

a exactly how beautiful it would be on our wedding day. The staff was amazing to work with and made the process very easy. By far the most beautiful venue in KC!

y took a lot of the stress away from the planning. The venue speaks for itself. We wanted a classic, elegant wedding and that is exactly what we got with The Grand Hall.

perfect - thinking of all those little things I didn't and helping to make sure they got done! Every question I had was answered with perfect clarity, and they worked with me every step of the way. I knew every guest at my wedding had an amazing time, which was really the most important thing to me and my groom. The location was ideal, right across the street from the event hotel, the Hilton President, was very reassuring to me that everyone would be able to safely get to and from the wedding after enjoying our open bar. The views of the city from the rooftop terrace were incredible, and we were able to get so many beautiful pictures of just the groom and I up there on the big day. It is comfortable any time of year since it is indoors, it is so absolutely stunning that you won't even want to add many decorations, but it is so open that you can't add too many. Despite the large open feel, our small(er) wedding of 130 felt very intimate and close. I have no regrets with my decision to get married at The Grand Hall. It, and the amazing people that come with it, allowed our wedding to be everything we dreamed it could be, and then some!

ental comes with a special photo session on their rooftop Beacon Lounge balcony, included! It's so beautiful, especially at sunset, check out their photos to see what I mean. The staff even was accommodating enough to allow us to have two mini photo sessions because we had an outfit change, which I was very grateful for. Yet when we arrived at the top floor for our photo shoot, we were greeted by ~25 strangers - tenants of the apartment having a celebration. Okay. Jessica apologized to us and went to talk with them, we went and took photos on the balcony. She later said something about them not having reserved the space properly. I figured they would be asked to leave and be gone by the time we changed our outfits for the second shoot, but they weren't. Still there. Jessica did not explain why they were not asked to leave. This space was contractually ours. My husband and I never got to take any photos inside the Beacon Lounge, because it was being occupied by 25 strangers. I brought this fact up to Jessica later and mentioned how it upset me, and received no explanation. 2. The bar was not stocked properly. We bit the bullet and purchased the premium bar, because it was important to my husband's family to provide certain alcohol, and the venue requires you to use their in house bar. At our meeting, my husband offered to make suggestions to help them properly stock the bar, as he already knew which specific liquors in our package that his family would primarily be drinking. They told us it was unnecessary; they had a system for stocking the bar, and if anything ran out during the night, it would be restocked. Okay, great. Prior to our ceremony starting, my dad had to ask them to replace an incorrect beer selection. At 7pm, barely into our cocktail hour, they were out of one liquor. Not sure when it was restocked, but I was told it eventually was, and then ran out again around 11. About an hour before our reception ended, I was personally trying to get a drink at the bar - and was told they were out of 3 of the 6 liquors we chose in our package. How does that happen if you're properly stocking the bar with the overpriced fees we paid you? It doesn't. We offered ahead of time to provide valuable input, because my husband knew there might be a problem. We were told there wouldn't be an issue, and there was. When I brought it up to Jessica, she first tried to deny it, until I explained that it was to ME personally that the bartenders told they were out of alcohol. She backtracked. There were many, many things I loved about our wedding day. As I said before, I would still recommend the Grand Hall to ANYONE, as it is a hands-down gorgeous space that I haven't seen anything in the area compare to. Their bride and grooms' suites are perfect and legitimately smell like perfume and cologne, respectively, in such a classy way and I have no idea how they make that happen. I would choose them again in a heartbeat. But I would also caution anyone choosing them to ask all the hard questions, and make sure you are getting what you paid for. They're a new venue, and it shows at times, but I wish them all the success in the world in the future. 3/5 for the staff support we received, 12/10 for the venue itself.
