About this vendor
Escape the City Noise, and Be Spoiled
The Haven Event Space is a brand new premiere wedding & event venue just minutes south of Overland Park, custom-built to host elegant affairs and special occasions. Looking out over rugged Kansas parkland, the setting is ideal for couples looking to escape urban life for the big day. With amazing amenities and scenic views, the estate can be a wonderful backdrop to wedding photos and lasting memorable moments.
Established by local Blake Harris, The Haven Event Space is a lifelong dream come true. Growing up in a family with strong entrepreneurial skills, he hoped to start a business of their own someday. After falling in love with his wife Abby, the pair married in 2014 and his plans became a reality, designing every corner of the estate down to the last floorboard. Spanning over 40-acres, the estate boasts a turnabout driveway and a massive party patio overlooking a 5+ acre pond. Couples and their loved ones are greeted by a charming foyer and barn doors before entering the main reception area. High ceilings, exposed beams, and an abundance of natural light characterize the romance of the main event space. Ornate chandeliers and grand staircases create a romantic ambience and effortlessly juxtapose the contemporary rustic decor.
The Haven Event Space offers a variety of amenities and services to couples for their special day. Daily rental periods are available to suit each couple’s vision and budget for their big day. Indoor and Outdoor spaces for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception are sprawled throughout. Tables, chairs, inventory decor, and a custom-built in or mobile bar are included for the duration of the rental. This venue offers a choice of bar packages to suit any event, with beer, wine, and liquor available. They can also offer champagne for speeches and toasts, as well as signature cocktails in celebration of your nuptials. Additional amenities such as audiovisual equipment and professional sound systems and amazing LED lighting are in place to facilitate speeches and entertainment. Couples can choose to add an incredible Glass Mirror Photobooth or a Tesla Model X Exit vehicle to wow, impress, and entertain their guests! After the wedding, you can choose to sell decorations to this venue, preventing you from needing to transport them and contributing to a sustainable ethos. Couples can also make use of the two incredible oversized suites to relax and unwind prior to the ceremony and following celebrations.

The Haven Team - absolutely amazing! The venue… to die for!! They were so helpful, generous, professional and outstanding personalities! In every which way possible they made our day memorable and a dream come true. Could not recommend more.
P.s - there was a literal fire during the ceremony…. None of us even had a clue till the very end! If that doesn’t speak on the miracles they work I don’t know what will.
Any questions?
We just got married at The Haven and it was the best day of our lives! The venue is beautiful, great for photos and the staff was amazing! They made everything run so seamlessly. Anything we needed they had us covered. Highly recommend for your wedding or corporate event!
We could not have asked for anything more from the staff and everyone at The Haven. Originally, we had our wedding booked at The Bowery and when they closed suddenly due to foreclosure, Blake stepped up and helped us out. He worked with us on our budget since we lost deposit money on the previous venue. Blake and his team are very professional and help you throughout the entire process. The space is beautiful and our guests raved about how much fun they had. Blake has thought of everything with this venue. We were more than happy that we had ended up having our wedding at The Haven!
Working with The Haven was an absolute dream! Any question or thought that I had was answered and answered quickly! You can tell that they know what they are doing and want to make your special day or event happen the way that you want it to!
I absolutely ADORE The Haven and their team!! Being in the wedding industry myself, I've had the privilege of working with them on numerous weddings and it's always such a JOY to walk into their beautiful space and to be welcomed with the warmest smiles. Thank you Haven team for continuing to go above and beyond for your couples and for this wedding community.🤍
From start to finish, The Haven team was there to help every step of the way. Taylor - their venue coordinator was so attentive to all of our needs. The staff on the day of the event was beyond helpful in making sure everything went as smoothly as possible. Their communication was absolutely fantastic. Overall, if you want a wedding venue that will offer you everything and more, The Haven is your answer!!
The Haven is a wonderful event space to book your wedding or other special events at!! All of the staff, especially Taylor, were extremely kind and helpful in making our wedding day beautiful. We wanted a space that valued the groom and the groomsmen just as much as the bride and the bridesmaids - The Haven was the perfect space for that. Everything was planned out perfectly. We consistently felt supported by the staff in all of our choices. We couldn't have picked a better venue - please go with them, I promise you won't regret it!

Booking The Haven was the best choice we could have made! We got so many compliments about how beautiful the venue itself was, how fun the lights and Photo Booth were, and how quick and great the venue’s bar service was! Blake and Taylor made the entire planning process so easy and the venue lived up to all of its hype on the day of our wedding! If we planned the wedding all over again, we would still always choose The Haven!
The Haven Event Space was perfect for our wedding! The entire team is fantastic throughout the whole process and the space is beautiful! They thought of everything that you need for the big day and they answered all our questions. We loved the outside ceremony location, bride & groom suites, and the getaway car/driver at the end of the night! We would highly recommend them!!
Blake, Taylor, and their entire team are by-far some of the best people we've come across, especially in the wedding industry. They continuously went above and beyond and answered the many questions I had throughout the entire process. We loved that they were personable right off the bat, and that there wasn't a single thing that came up in regards to the venue, services, or fees, that we didn't already know about. They are very upfront about what the packages they provide and what the cost of that will be. They were all present for almost every visit we had, and were even serving drinks at the bar the night of our wedding.
The venue itself is GORGEOUS! We loved the layout, the outdoor games and firepits, and especially the bride and groom suites. The bridal suite is one of a kind, but we really struggled finding venues that also catered to the groom (more than just a janitor's closet). Blake really took the time and effort to make The Haven perfect and that's exactly what it is. If we were to do it all over again, this would be our top choice every single time.
This venue is awesome for any type of event!! The owner, Blake, is super nice and treats the events as if they are his own. The staff is super nice and organized and we would definitely host another event here!!
We had an AMAZING wedding at the Haven Event Space. Not only was the building STUNNING but the people were even better! Blake, Taylor, Libby and their team are absolutely incredible to work with. Definitely recommend having your event here! Wow!
The Haven is an amazing place to get married at!
I recommend it getting married here if you’re looking for a place. They exceptionally overachieved everything! They have incredible customer service and are amazing with communication! They’re very intentional with there clients and get things done. Very blessed that we chose the haven! It was the first venue and only venue we went too! Very pleased with how our wedding turned out here!! It’s sooo pretty too! Haven is the place if you need one!🥰
We had our dream wedding at The Haven Event Space! Taylor and Blake are incredibly helpful and kind. The venue is created with all members of the wedding in mind. My husband fell in love with the groom's suite! It is the perfect getaway for anyone in the KC metro looking to have a wedding outside of the city bustle but still close to home ❤
The Haven is a top notch venue and the owner, Blake and his team do a great job taking care of you and your event!
Wish I could give more stars because 5 doesn’t seem like enough! Not only is the venue stunningly beautiful and accommodating for all styles, but the staff we worked with truly made our day become the best day ever! My husband and I signed our contract with The Haven before the foundation had even been poured. We spoke with owner, Blake, before booking and he showed us all of his ideas and what the space was going to look like one day. He went in depth about why they chose colors, layout, and all the tiny details that made the wedding day what it was. Hearing all of the details made my husband and I trust Blake and his team so much because it truly felt like they wanted all weddings in KC to be the most special. About 6 months after booking we were able to see the space in person. It was everything could have imagined and more! There is so much room to make it your own and add personal touches.
We worked alongside Blake and Taylor through the entire process and they made our dream day come true! They made our planning process and wedding day flawless!! I cannot express how thankful we are for The Haven Event Space team. During our final walkthrough, we were able to create a floor plan that was different to what the space had done before. From the floor plan, to lighting, and all the options of decor, your event will be unique to your own personal style!
I could go on and on about how much we loved The Haven. I want to thank Blake and Taylor for all their hard work they did to ensure we had an amazing wedding day. We will miss working with their team so much! You will not regret booking with them for your big event!
The Haven was beautiful and ran by very nice and accommodating management. Would highly recommend!
The Haven Event Space is the most AMAZING venue! Blake and Taylor are incredibly responsive, supportive, and helpful in every step of the planning process. Blake has literally thought of everything a couple could want in a wedding venue. From ambiance to technology to customer service…The Haven Event Space is simply the best. My husband and I want to think of a reason to have a big party just so we can go back! Thank you Blake and Taylor for helping us have such a magical wedding and reception experience!
Blake and Taylor is the best!! The Haven Event Space is beautiful, you will not be disappointed! I found out that our shuttle didn't make it to the venue, Blake went out of his way to pick our guests up! I would recommend Haven to anyone. They made our day very special, these memories will forever be ingrained! Thanks again guys! 💗
There is something to be said about vendors who become your friends. We were fortunate enough to meet Blake when he was still doing Zoom tours of the digital rendering of the venue. As a bride, I knew I was taking a huge leap of faith in booking The Haven not knowing how it would turn out in the long run. However, Blake's knowledge, care for his clients, and all-around awesomeness put my mind at ease. Any time I had a question, it was answered quickly and efficiently. I could not recommend this space enough. Blake and Taylor are such caring people, and Gus and I adore them. We already miss working with them, and can only look forward to watching them flourish even more. We are so grateful for their guidance, support, and love throughout our wedding planning process. If you're on the fence; don't be. The amount of personalization you are able to do with this venue is insane. The world is your oyster with music, lighting, flowers, etc.
Thank you Blake and Taylor for making our wedding the magical fairytale it was. We love you guys, and can't wait to cheer you on and continue to be your number one fans.
This brand new venue exceeded all of our expectations and made the event as amazing as it was. Blake the owner and Taylor the coordinator thinks of everything. We booked before the place was even built after meeting with Blake. He is so nice and you can just tell he is a genuine guy and someone good to work with. We are very thankful for his vision and how he treated us. He made the experience truly special. The getting ready suite is a dream and one of the best parts of the day! We did the premium bar package and they pre-made a ton of patron margaritas and old fashions for our cocktail hour and had them all set up and it made such a difference. Book your wedding here!!
This venue is beyond what I ever imagined! We attended the ground breaking ceremony and they exceeded their vision beyond measure. The staff at The Haven are genuine and work endlessly to make sure your day is unforgettable. We still talk about how smooth and enjoyable our whole day and night were! Blake & Abby Harris, Taylor (my girl), and all of The Haven staff, thank you for literally everything. You will not be disappointed booking your big day here, I promise!
We hosted our annual charity event for the Louisburg Elementary PTO here last weekend. We couldn't have been more pleased with how everything turned out, and the accomodations we recieved from the Haven staff. All of our guests were blown away by the service, photobooth and included attendant and venue overall. Such a beautiful place that really has their ducks in a row! We can't thank Blake and the Haven team enough for all they did! We will DEFINITELY come back and book them again for our 2023 charity event!
We couldn't have been more happy with our wedding at the Haven. Even though the venue is newer, Blake and his team are true professionals, from handling all the vendor relationships, to providing day-of help and adjusting to needs of the day.
I have been in a dozen weddings at a dozen venues and been to many more, and can definitively say the staff at the Haven is at the top, and your guests will go on and on about how smooth and beautiful your day was.
You, your family, your guests, your photographers/videographers, and everyone will be happy you chose the Haven.
Such an amazing and beautiful venue with so much natural light!
Blake was super helpful and accommodating for our event. The space was great. All of the furnishings are brand new and in great condition. The rooms are well equipped and everyone in our group was really impressed. The technology all worked well. The site and weather were beautiful and we spent some time outside by the fire pits. We had a great time!
The venue itself is beautiful, Blake and Abby have such a passion for weddings and it shows. Their coordinator Taylor is also highly professional and makes sure everything was perfect.
My wife and I have been working with Blake Harris and The Haven Event Space team in booking an event for late 2021. Our experience thus far has been OUTSTANDING!
Blake has gone above and beyond to accommodate any and all our questions, concerns, and plans!
Knowing the complications that typically come with organizing a large event, we were guarded going in on the planning process. However, after a couple quick meetings with Blake and using his extremely helpful preferred contacts and vendors, we are well on our way to having a wonderful event!
We are looking forward to our celebration, and are so excited to be holding it with The Haven!
WE'RE SO EXCITED!
We can't wait to see Blake and Abbys vision of this venue come to life and have our wedding here. Blake has been so helpful, quick, and professional with all the random questions I've thrown his way. Shown us some amazing vendors they have partnered with. I'll be sure to update my review after our wedding - but so far this venue has been a pleasure to work with!
Blake was the absolute best!!! Although we didn’t go with The Haven for our wedding, it really broke our heart to not be able to. Blake made our entire experience so incredible, the best experience we had with any vendor!! He is so sweet and he really cares about you and your special day!! Anybody would be incredibly lucky to book The Haven for their wedding.
I appreciate the owners so much because I can tell how invested they are in seeing my vision come to life in their space. They are a joy to work with!
While The Haven is not fully constructed yet, the 3D Renderings are BEAUTIFUL! The owners Blake and Abby Harris have been nothing short of amazing with answering questions and being professional. I would have loved to have my wedding here but timing was against us, however, since I have done many weddings with Blake in the past, I felt confident in asking him to be our “day of” wedding coordinator. We are so glad we did because Blake made sure everything was handled and went smoothly! We had total peace of mind! Overall, the venue is sure to be a true gem and the owners absolutely know know weddings. Highly recommend!
Absolutely incredible venue, we are happy so have our wedding at The Haven. Strongly recommend to this venue as it is breathtaking and the owners really took the time to help us make sure it was everything we wanted.

Thanks Eric! It has been amazing working with you, and we are so thrilled to help make your dream event come true!
Blake and Abby are the best! My wife and I are so excited to have our vow renewal at The Haven Event Space. They are pet friendly so we can have our corgi’s in the ceremony! It is really amazing finding a LGBTQ+ friendly event space they really do welcome all!
Response from the Vendor on 02/11/2021
Thanks Jacquie! Can't wait to see those little Corgi butts waddle down the aisle at your ceremony!!!
The Harris’ are some of the best people! No doubt they care more about just booking your event, but helping you create an unforgettable moment!
Response from the Vendor on 02/11/2021
Thanks Gary! We cannot wait to share this special day with you in and your beautiful bride in October!
Blake and Abby are the most wonderful couple! They have put so much thought and consideration into every little detail at The Haven. Although the venue isn’t finished being built yet we got a personal tour of the grounds, saw all the plans for the venue, and got all questions answered. We loved that there were no hidden fees and that they were willing to work with us to plan exactly what we envision for our day. We will update our review once we have our wedding!
Response from the Vendor on 02/09/2021
Thank you so much Aya! You and Gary have been such a joy to work with and are the exact reason we are building this venue! You will be one of the FIRST weddings we host, and we cannot wait to make your dream wedding come to life at The Haven!
I have been following the construction plans for The Haven for over a year now, and I am SO EXCITED that they are finally building! I met with the Owner, Blake, about a year ago and discussed the plans, looked at renderings, and he cast a vision for what The Haven is going to be. All I can say is... WOW! This is going to be one of the nicest venues in Kansas City! Every single detail has been thought through. He event met with other local wedding venues to get their input on "must-haves"! My fiance and I literally can not wait for our wedding their this fall! Thank you Blake & Abby for your attention to detail, your vision, and for bringing your dream to life so we can live out our dream wedding day! See you in October!!
Response from the Vendor on 02/09/2021
JOEY! It has been so great working with you and your beautiful bride! We cannot wait to be apart of your special day this fall! We have to have you out to the property soon for another tour once the walls are up. Talk soon!!
Once my girlfriend & I saw the vision for the Haven we both KNEW this is where we wanted to share our special day. Every detail has been meticulously planned out & I see nothing but absolute professionalism from the owners, Blake & Abby. They don’t miss a beat & take care of every single question, need & desire that you’ll want addressed.
Response from the Vendor on 02/09/2021
