The Harlow

and professional and really helpful

beautiful on its own. Domanique was awesome to work with. She was very responsive and helpful even when I would ask the same question many times. I feel like The Harlow is very fairly priced for what you get. If there were anything I would improve, it would be better signage outside for the entry and parking as we had some issues.

ly recommend choosing the harlow!

ghout our planning process, but each one that we worked with was very helpful, quick to respond to questions and so great to work with. They made pricing for the event easy and straightforward. You are able to add in additional time at the venue as well, which I highly recommend if doing both ceremony and reception at the venue). The venue is gorgeous and does not need a ton of decoration to make your event beautiful. We got a lot of compliments on how unique and intimate the venue was. 10/10 recommend The Harlow!

and chic urban. I highly recommend having your wedding here. It was the most perfect day!

wasn’t ideal for us or The Harlow, but The Harlow offered great flexibility to accommodate us by allowing us to reschedule which was much appreciated. Everyone who we worked with was absolutely amazing! The venue had ample space for our 75 person wedding which allowed for a great sized dance floor area. And of course the elevator allows for a unique wedding reception entrance! Veronica with The Harlow was always amazing at promptly answering any questions we had!

d, since then, I have always been so impressed by both the space and the management. With a beautiful city view, warm atmosphere and romantic-industrial vibes, this venue is so perfect for your wedding or event. The staff take extra care of their clients and their weddings and there are so many fun opportunities to make this space your own! Would absolutely recommend this venue for your wedding day!

ues (The Bardot), but when we saw The Harlow in person we instantly loved it! It was the perfect combination to fulfill my husbands "light and airy" interests and my "industrial and moody" interests. The whole process of of wedding planning with The Harlow was smooth and everyone stayed in touch over the year of planning. We had a perfect ceremony and reception here and would definitely recommend The Harlow and any other of the Abbott Events venues!

it wasn't really my top choice… but trying to find a venue with availability in the fall “only” a year out around downtown KC is actually HARD! When I first heard about the ownership change, I was a bit nervous - the idea of a new team coming in and messing with our plans and contract midway through our engagement sounded scary, but holy moly it was a BLESSING! The updates Abbott made to the space transformed it from "this will do" to "I love the space!!" Morgan specifically was amazing to work with – she was always so quick to respond to my emails if I had any questions or concerns, and she was extremely accommodating - from our rehearsal (prior owners wouldn’t let you have your rehearsal in the venue without paying extra… what?), to scheduling vendor drop-offs/pick-ups, and offering to refund the cost of the Courtyard for cocktail hour if we were unable to use due to weather. It was so refreshing to know that she’d be so reasonable about everything, rather than try to take advantage. The day-of went so well - the space worked out perfectly. The bartenders were great, and everyone also LOVED our reception entrance on the freight elevator. Highly recommend the The Harlow and the Abbott team!

lifornos closing down and us making the switch to the Harlow. It was absolutely breath taking with all of the new updates that occurred when they made the switch from the Berg to the Harlow. We were welcomed with open arms by Elliot helping us feel comfortable with only 4 months before our big day and then Morgan taking over and helping us plan anything from room design to smaller details and staying during the wedding to make sure everything ran smoothly. Morgan made the whole process so enjoyable and we loved the relationship we had while wedding planning. We felt very lucky to have such an amazing team make our day the best!

was great to work with; Always responds very quickly and is willing to help wherever needed. They were flexible and let us get in on Friday morning to set up. The venue is gorgeous! We had around 170 guests and had plenty of room. I would definitely recommend this venue!

oads district, it's down the street from P & L, many hotels are within walking distance and it has lots of parking! The Sales Manager and Venue Coordinators are very responsive, are open to ideas and accommodated our every need. I highly recommend to use their day of coordination services to make the day as stress-free as possible. A special shout out to Morgan who walked us through the planning process, Kelly for handling the transition and to Elliot who made my daughter's vision into reality and stayed with us throughout the night. Every guest had so much fun! Thank you!!!

y the best day. She is easy to get ahold of and willing to work with our ideas! We are so happy we chose this venue to have our ceremony and reception. The Berg Event Space and Sophie are the BEST!

ofessional and punctual with replies. She provided great suggestions for a very personalized wedding, using our unique decor items. She was also a huge help day of! Highly recommend!

ie was so accommodating throughout the entire process, providing guidance with decor, setup, and assisting us with some pretty specific alcohol requests. I highly recommend Berg Event Space!

e of management but Sophie was wonderful guiding us through the day. The views from the windows are fantastic as well, a great skyline shot of downtown Kansas City. Definitely make your way to the Berg for any event you have planned in the future!

our day a breeze and stress free. If you want a venue that is breathtaking on its own and does not need a lot of “extra” decor and fluff this is the space. Less is more and our day will forever will engraved in our hearts and minds with how beautiful it was at the beg!

d guidance was remarkable. We felt very relaxed and confident in her expertise. In other words...she was VERY good at what she did and exactly what we needed!!! On a side note...the Berg bartenders were exceptional!

eception with Abbi, the coordinator at the time. Then, without notice, Cindy took over. We met with Cindy for our final walkthrough and felt good about everything. Then, 2 weeks before our reception, I was notified, after I sent an email asking a question, that Cindy was no longer with Berg and was replaced with Sophie. Sophie, sensing my anxiety about the last minute switch, agreed to meet with me and my mom the Monday before our reception. Turns out, several of the things we discussed with Cindy at our walkthrough didn’t make it on paper so Sophie had no clue what the plan was. If I wouldn’t have requested a meeting I’m not sure what our reception would have turned out like. Even the night of the event, there was some confusion about what we paid extra for and what we did not, because apparently Cindy promised us things that Sophie wanted to charge extra for. Overall, I would book the space again, but it would make me extremely nervous based on the number of coordinators the space has been through in a short amount of time, it made planning extremely stressful.

ul. The hardwoods floors, the floor to ceiling windows, the beautiful courtyard outside...it's incredible. We received numerous compliments on the venue (we used it for both ceremony and reception), and our photos of the space are amazing. The magnetic wall is unique and versatile for displaying photos or other decorations, and there's a giant screen if you're showing a slideshow or other video. That being said, I would NOT book this venue again, solely because of the Event Manager, Cindy. She was by far the least professional vendor we worked with throughout our planning process. For starters, we had zero notification that Cindy had replaced Abbi as the Event Manager. Shouldn't there have been some sort of communication that the event manager we had been working with our entire planning process had left? She knew nothing about our wedding, and we basically had to start over once she took over. During our walk through, she verbally told us something that didn't end up making it into the contract...so low and behold, it didn't happen at the wedding and she flat denied ever saying it. The worst part - we had an issue with the timing on our actual wedding day, and the reception ended one hour earlier than my husband and I thought. We had paid extra money for this extra hour, as well as for multiple other vendors to stay until the time we thought the reception ended, so we also lost all of that money. We were obviously very upset. Cindy had left the event by this point, and was not available until the following Tuesday. We asked her to call us, which she did, and we were expecting at least an explanation and an apology for what happened. Instead, she called us and completely berated us for being upset over the incident. She was condescending, abrasive, and cold, and she ruined that day of our honeymoon. She never apologized, and in fact said, "there was no misunderstanding. You're wrong." She did end up refunding our money for the extra hour of reception time that we didn't get, which was nice, but I felt zero remorse or empathy from her. Simply put - if you're considering booking The Berg for your wedding, I would STRONGLY advise against it if Cindy is still the Event Manager - there are plenty of other beautiful venues in Kansas City that have event managers who care about their customers. Cindy ruined the end of our wedding reception, and she showed zero remorse or empathy to us throughout this incident.

s the space in the crossroads disctrict/downtown which we loved it also offered the rustic feel with still being in the middle of the city! Finding a space downtown with parking is next to impossible and the fact that the Berg offers lots of parking and a parking attendant its amazing! On top of the amazing space is the amazing staff- Abbi is so easy to work with! She was very accommodating with anything and everything I asked of her! If you are looking for a great space with great people this is it!

ed the space. If I lived in town and needed a space for an event I would definitely book them again.

super fast room flip; accomodating... I could go on an on. The Berg is perfect.

t view of downtown, a very unique courtyard, a huge magnetic wall for so many possibilities and the best group of people to work with. Abbi was so great to work with. She made things easy for us the day of and helped my wedding day be perfect. The bar tenders were so fun and friendly, I wish I could have them prepare my cocktails all the time! We took full advantage of the magnetic wall to add a special touch to our wedding: place settings, marquee letters and a selfie station. Seriously, if you want a fun downtown wedding with a stunning setting then book the Berg, because you won't be disappointed!

finally came across the Berg. Looking through the website, I was worried at what it may cost to be able to use this beautiful venue in Kansas City. To my surprise it was affordable! The Berg was the first (and only) venue that I actually visited in person. My mom and I met with Jillian and toured the venue. I knew right then that this was the venue for my fiancé and I! Jillian was amazing to work with. We kept in touch via email the entire year leading up to my wedding, and even met with her and my coordinators a couple of weeks before the wedding. This meeting was so nice to have available, as it helped ensure that we were completely prepared for the wedding. I utilized the venue for my wedding and reception. I chose to have both inside, and during the cocktail hour the room was flipped from wedding to reception. This went very well. The guests gathered outside in the beautiful alleyway (it was a warm day for the end of October, guests would have been able to stay inside if it were too cold or rainy) with hours de oeuvres passed and drinks available. The drinks, by the way, were delicious! The options for the types of alcohol/beer available are endless and the mixed drinks served tasted amazing. I received so many compliments from wedding guests about the venue. They loved the look and the vibe. They thought the layout was perfect and the accessibility to bathrooms, elevator, and exits was great. I would recommend this venue to anyone!

w this is what we wanted. Gorgeous space; Jillian was very helpful and easy to work with.

ors are gorgeous and gave it the rustic vibe we wanted. It was the perfect canvas to add little touches of decor to make it your own. I looked through their pictures on instagram and facebook to get some ideas of how other couples did their floor plan, which I found extremely helpful! My now husband and I had moved out of state after getting engaged for his job and I was extremely apprehensive about planning everything from afar. Jillian is fantastic and was so accommodating. She walked my family and I through each step of the planning process, whether I was there in person or they were there for me and I was on speaker phone. She quickly replied to all my emails and phone calls. It was honestly such a relief working with someone so organized! I highly recommend using the courtyard and doing the second bar out there for when guests arrive. The bartenders at the reception were fantastic! We've had so many friends and family members tell us how much they loved the venue. I was literally PERFECT!

decor), but Jillian exceeded our expectations in every realm. Our family is from out of town and she kindly opened up the space each time a new family member came to Kansas City and wanted to peek at the space. She was very organized and kept our payments on schedule and was very clear about every detail that was included with The Berg. Their price may look high to some at first glance, but when you take into account the additional factors you are receiving it is entirely fair compared to other vendors in the area. They provide the tables and chairs (not many vendors in the area do), their preferred caterer list entails a variety of prices and are all fantastic, and you get Jillian (or another venue coordinator) the day of who certainly makes sure their end of the contract is being fulfilled. I HIGHLY recommend The Berg Event Space to anyone looking to hold both their ceremony & reception there or just their reception. We had 175 guests and it was the PERFECT space (we utilized the courtyard while The Berg staff flipped the ceremony space into the reception space). Don't wait, book now!!

he was excellent with assisting me in all my needs and requests and worked wonderful with all my vendors and day of planner! I remember the first time I e-mailed her in a frenzy wanting to book a tour in less than 12 hours, not only did she e-mail me back that night, she accommodated my tour with no problem! We enjoyed every moment, from the first meeting to the final seconds of my reception, all in a stress free no worry environment...not to mention in a beautiful venue, one that requires very little decorations because its already the perfect space!!! Props to Jillian and the Berg on a job well done!!! I would highly recommend the Berg for your Wedding reception, I had more than a wonderful experience and I know everyone else will to!!!

, and passionate, and helped our wedding day go smoothly. Our wedding size was approximately 120 people, which was perfect for the Berg. We loved having our wedding ceremony and reception there, and are still receiving compliments about the venue from family and friends. We would recommend Berg Event Space to anyone!

ometimes twice), gave advice, and was a cheerful face on our day. We received endless compliments on the space, which we sparsely decorated to be sure that its character shined, and everything came together perfectly.

it off, it has an amazing view of the city. Jillian was fabulous to work with. She, along with the entire Berg crew worked diligently to ensure that everything was lined up to make our day perfect. I highly recommend this space for any special event you may be planning!

is gorgeous on it's own and really doesn't need much done to dress it up. Toward sunset it provided for some gorgeous photos. Jillian was great!

ed with Jillian, who was very responsive and timely to emails. We had booked the venue over a year away from our wedding date of October 16, 2015. When the day came, and we saw the inside of the building, it blew our minds. Not only does The Berg give you a beautiful place to get married, but they also give you other vendor names who work together as a team to create such a beautiful wedding/reception. I couldn't have been happier with the help of the staff and with the memories we will never forget.

ely brought my now-husband back to see it. Hiring Jillian as our day-of-coordinator was the best decision I ever could have made. She is worth every penny! Jillian made everything run smoothly during the entire planning process, during the rehearsal and all the way up until the very last minute. I truly believe our day would not have been so wonderful without her helping us through each step. The atmosphere provided by the Berg is truly amazing and can be transformed so many different way, depending what your vision is. If I had to do the planning all over again, I would pick the Berg again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for making our wedding vision a dream come true!

venue and we were really able to make it our own. We had so many compliments from our guests. We couldn't have been happier!

ng was absolutely breathtaking. The lighting in the space is so romantic at night. If I could do the wedding all over again I wouldn't change a single thing!

ood floors. Jillian was really easy to work with and she answered all of our emails. We enjoyed being able to use the bridal suite and groom's suite while getting ready, but we did have to pay for an extra hour to get in the space early. The only other downside is the cost of the drink packages. They were quite expensive. Even so, we had a wonderful experience and would recommend the space to anyone!

looked gorgeously different and my wedding was very different from those looks as well - yet each set up looked perfectly at home! You can't go wrong here! Hiring Jillian as our day of coordinator was the second best decision I made! Worth every penny, and more! My 5 aunts and parents decided that the wedding could not have been set up in time, let alone so beautifully, If Jillian and her staff had not done all the work. A bridesmaid of mine got married in Estes Park, CO in the middle of the mountains and instantly told me she was so jealous of my venue she wanted to cry! That says it all! I got compliments alllllll night long from how neat the space was to how cute their bartenders were! Haha 😊

t a hitch. Her staff did an amazing job working with my vision and making our day special to us. Everyone at the wedding had a blast and enjoyed the venue as well. I highly recommend using their space!!!

e day and got to focus on having fun instead of little things like getting the room set up.
