- Shannon CarpenterVenue DirectorI’ve been lucky enough to build my career in two amazing event markets—starting in Kansas City as a venue manager, where I gained hands-on experience in event planning, décor and layout design, and day-of coordination. From there, I expanded my expertise by working with a top-rated event planning company in Atlanta, where I deepened my understanding of the full planning process and what it truly takes to bring a wedding vision to life. Now, I’m so happy to be back home in Kansas City and at The Jewel KC, where I get to help couples create unforgettable celebrations in a space I truly love. As the Venue Director at The Jewel KC, my focus is on creating a seamless, stress-free, and exceptional experience from the first tour to the last dance. What sets my approach apart is the deep care I take in truly getting to know each couple—their vision, their priorities, and the unique touches that will make their wedding day unforgettable. I believe that a successful event is built on strong relationships and teamwork, and I’m proud to work alongside an incredible team that shares my commitment to excellence. At The Jewel KC, we don’t just provide a space—we bring dreams to life with precision, passion, and a personal touch. Seeing everything come together perfectly for each couple is what drives me, and I can’t wait to help create an unforgettable celebration for you!

The Jewel was the absolute BEST venue we could’ve ever dreamed of. And Mike the owner is now a dear friend of ours because of how amazing him and his staff were for our wedding weekend. They helped our vision come to life and made sure we had everything we imagined for our day. We had our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception all at the jewel (and even rented out the lofts to stay in for the weekend which were absolutely unreal) and would recommend this venue to anybody planning a wedding in Kansas City. We will definitely be back to spend anniversaries in the lofts!!!
