We booked the Simpson House for our wedding of around 80 people because of the open vendor policy, the historic location close to downtown KC, and it is where my spouse's parents g...
ot married 25 years ago. Charles was extremely helpful, both in the booking process and in the lead-up to our event. Booking The Simpson House was very easy and straightforward, and Charles provided very detailed instructions in the lead up to our event since the venue does not come with a coordinator.
Overall, I would highly recommend using The Simpson House for small wedding ceremonies and receptions. We were able to hire any caterer we wante,d and we were able to make the space whatever we wanted it to be.
We booked the Simpson House for our 100 person wedding and it was the perfect venue! We loved all the space the venue has to offer and the open vendor policy. The backyard is beaut...
iful and has ample amounts of shade for an outdoor reception and/or ceremony. The inside rooms are spacious and beautiful and the getting ready suites are perfect for medium sized groups. Charles was great to work with and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. We would highly recommend booking the Simpson House!

Talk about a beautiful venue for a wedding!!! Definitely perfect for a small wedding!! Charles was so great to work with, and he was so welcoming. Any questions or concerns we had,...
he was able to help and get us an answer asap. When we first toured my mom was concerned about the staircase handrail being a little wobbly. Charles worked with owners to make it sturdy, and we were beyond grateful for it. They even recently renovated the space, so the groom and groomsmen have a space to get ready in, and we loved every single thing in that space!! Our guests only talked about how beautiful it is, and I'm just simply obsessed with the space. My husband and I are so thankful we found this PERFECT venue for our special day!!
The Simpson House and Charles made our wedding prep and day so much easier! Any time we needed to measure, view or coordinate with the venue, Charles was available or worked with u...
s to find a time that worked.
We had to postpone our wedding from 2020 to 2021 and I know how lucky we were to work with Simpson House, forgiving and understanding to not begin to describe the customer service.
The venue was beautiful and fit all our needs, luckily it was open the night before our wedding as we pivoted to have our rehearsal dinner outside at the venue. The open vendor policy gave us so much freedom to have the wedding we really wanted to. We had the most fun at our small-medium sized wedding and were blessed with gorgeous September weather for our mostly outdoor event.
I would suggest you take a look at Simpson House - it has so many possibilities!
This place is truly a hidden gem. My husband and I were desperately searching for a new venue for our Oct. 2020 after our closed in July. We'd come close to booking another venue, ...
but that place fell through, too. Needless to say we were feeling pretty defeated, but we stumbled across The Simpson House on Google soon after and things quickly turned around!
Charles, the facility manager, was responsive and great to work with. We were able to quickly get in for a tour and absolutely fell in the love with the space; it has so much character and so many options when it comes to event set-up. We both tell everyone that, even though it was insanely stressful to lose our original venue, things worked out for the better - we absolutely loved and wholeheartedly recommend The Simpson House!
The Simpson House was the most perfect place for hosting our intimate wedding reception this September! As soon as seeing the Simpson House and meeting with Charles we knew it was ...
special and had such a great feel. The outdoor space/garden as well as indoor areas allowed us to have the best of both worlds and create the best intimate garden party wedding! It was well kept, clean, and BEAUTIFUL! Not only this--but it's also right in the heart of KC. Charles was fabulous to work with and very responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. We love the Simpson House!!

ar set up that you want to do which made it super easy when picking other vendors.
The Simpson House was the perfect venue for our summer wedding ceremony and reception! It's close to many attractions in the city but is on a quiet street for intimate ceremonies. ...
Charles was very helpful and accommodating. Our guests complimented the beautiful venue all night long and my husband and I were so happy with everything!

s gorgeous; formal but simple. We had about 55 people in attendance and had to seat some folks outside on the porch for the reception but no one seemed to mind! Charles, who manages the Simpson House, was exceedingly helpful and wonderful to work with. The space was very reasonably priced, and when the rentals available changed, Charles worked with us to use the other rentals at a discount. It is very DIY, and since all my family was from out of state, I hired a coordination team to handle set up and tear down, but it was still a steal! Would absolutely do our wedding all over at the Simpson House!
Fantastic! My wedding was everything & more than I could of ever dreamt of! We chose the venue not only for the excellent price but because the venue speaks for itself! My decor s...
tyle was classic & romantic and we didn't have to do a lot of extra decorating because the home is absolutely stunning! Charles is wonderful to work with and very accommodating. They provide reasonable rates for table, chair, & tablecloth rentals. I would host another party here in a heartbeat. The Simpson House will forever hold a special place in my heart <3
We absolutely LOVED having our wedding and reception at The Simpson House in Downtown KC. It has a beautiful garden area in the back, which was perfect for photos for our October w...
edding. We had our ceremony inside by the fireplace. The whole house is really beautiful and little decor was needed other than floral arrangements. It has a very unique and vintage feel, with all the antique dark woods and huge staircase in the main entryway. It is the perfect venue if you want an intimate and romantic experience. The house manager, Charles, is very kind and helpful and is a wonderful pianist if you need one, they have a piano in-house. We were able to reserve the house for the entire day too, for what seemed to be rather inexpensive in comparison to other venues we had looked into. We chose to have a small ceremony with around 30-35 guests and a larger reception with close to 100 guests and it worked out perfectly. We really couldn't have had a better experience with The Simpson House and hope to be able to return in the future.
I don't think a lot of people know about this venue. It's a gorgeous house with a beautiful yard. We had our ceremony in the backyard and our reception inside. It is a smaller v...
enue. We fit just under 100 people. I wouldn't recommend doing much more than that. The staff was super helpful and friendly. They have chairs and tables available to rent. They also have a bridal suite upstairs and a PA system that was great! Love, love, love this venue! So happy with how our wedding turned out!
The Simpson House was such a great choice for mine and my (now) hubby's wedding! It was affordable and Charles worked with us so well! We had about 130 guests for our ceremony in t...
he garden, our meal outside, and our dance in the ballroom. We are so happy with how The Simpson House accommodated us and made us feel so welcome!
The Simpson House is a gorgeous turn of the century home just minutes from the plaza. I have been in love with it for years and am so happy to have had my wedding reception there. ...
The grounds and details of the house are beautiful. The location was great for taking pictures and close to loose park, Nelson Atkins and the plaza for other bridal party pictures. My reception was transformed by the house into an elegant dinner party from an era gone by. Exactly what I wanted and my guests loved it! This was the perfect place for my intimate vintage wedding reception.
Beautiful venue! It is perfect for a small wedding and reception! My friends and family loved it! We had a wonderful evening at the Simpson House and the staff was great.

dinner/reception/dance in the house. The house rental does not come with catering, however, they can suggest catering services that are reputable and approved for your event. It is designed well for having guests gather inside or out. The manager, Brock, is very professional, knowledgeable, organized, detail-oriented, and overall a pleasure to work with in the planning of a wedding and/or reception at The Simpson House.
A lovely turn-of-the-last-century limestone house, tucked away east of The Plaza, south of The Kemper. Perfect for a small wedding, or a rehearsal dinner. The garden and porch so...
