ional and helpful, making planning and attending events a seamless experience. The great location and atmosphere provide the perfect backdrop for great memories and fun for all.

ied or holding an event!

on our wedding were amazing, especially Bailey, our day of planner that the Stanley provided! We had about 215 people in the Aspen Ballroom and it fit everyone perfectly!

r: multiple locations to hold the ceremony (including a rooftop option), a very large reception area, an elevator for easy access to all three floors, and helpful staff to ensure the day goes smoothly. Being able to host both the ceremony and reception comfortably at one location is HUGE. And I think our guests REALLY appreciated quickly transitioning from the ceremony to a cocktail hour just downstairs. Take some of the headache out of your wedding planning by choosing The Stanley as your event space!

u bring in, however I expressed my concern with trying to setup reception with my ceremony not being in the same location.....Karly is AMAZING, that's all I can say. They messaged me after I dropped off everything (I included a very detailed document with how I wanted stuff done since I had people coming to setup) and Karly messaged me and told me my people no longer had to come setup! Their team setup everything! They made my vision come to life and be even better. Everyone always say there is always something that goes wrong that the guests don't know about. Not in this case. Literally the entire night was perfect and I was not stressed at all because of how awesome our venues were and the staff there!

Jennifer Hendricks, is absolutely amazing, she answers all the silly questions that a nervous bride has. She is so kind and truly works so hard to make your wedding memorable. All of the workers there are so kind as well, and made sure that everything was squared away on the day of. It decided to rain an hour before our ceremony, which was supposed to be on the rooftop and they quickly moved everything down to their Kingston Room without skipping a beat. They definitely took away all the stress that comes with planning a wedding and made our day absolutely perfect.

so incredibly helpful; they answered all my questions and helped with things that I hadn't even thought of! The night of our wedding, the staff at the Stanley went above and beyond to help us have the best night of our lives! Which we definitely did!!

arty caterers and photographers too! They ensured that our wedding was a stress free and enjoyable day. We absolutely loved the chapel room downstairs and they did a wonderful job decorating the reception room and making the roof available to us as an additional space to hang out.

their space was beautiful. They also have all tables, chairs, linens, and a whole decor closet included in their package. It was a life-saver and budget-saver! The day of coordinator was wonderful!! She was so attentive to every detail that I had planned. She checked in with me throughout the night to make sure everything was going as planned and to make sure I was personally having the best time! She is the sweetest and I was so impressed with her attention to detail and the care she took to make sure that our day was special. They went above and beyond! They worked with us and made the set up and prep work super easy and stress-free. For example: We had a Polaroid set up for our guests and it had stopped working. Our day of coordinator took it upon herself to google possible problems to help us fix it! They kept all of our cards and gifts safe and helped package up our extremely special champagne flutes and the leftover cake. They even washed our flutes and kept them safe for us until we packed up at the end of the night! This location and the people here at the Stanley were a blessing to my husband and I! We were so happy to work with them and I would absolutely recommend them to everyone!! If you are looking for the perfect wedding location, look no further!

On our actual wedding day the Day of Coordinator was awesome! We had originally planned to do the ceremony on the rooftop, but when the day came it was just too hot. Thankfully we had already discussed a plan B, so everyone quickly transitioned and made the Kingston room just as beautiful!

to get married near KC. When guests asked why Lee's Summit? Our answer was the venue as well the amazing staff just made it feel right from the moment we toured. We were supposed to get married in June of 2020, which did not work out. Cindy and her team helped us reschedule the event and worked with us through all the uncertainty of the year. Once we got to the big day, the event coordinator provided by the venue took care of everything! She made sure our guests were taken care of, all the vendors knew where to go, down to even making sure the room felt the right temperature. From the moment we walked in that day it all just flowed. Cannot recommend enough!

setup and cleanup of the event, and coordinating all the vendors the day of the wedding. That, along with all of the items and decor that were included with the rental made the day so much easier and less stressful on all of us. Thank you!

most amazing wedding day - I would not have changed a single thing about our day, it turned out perfect!

day - The provided decorations and altar options were great - Sarita was an amazing day of coordinator and made sure everything went off without a hitch - There were amazing photo ops inside of and also very close to to The Stanley - The nearby bars were great for those folks who wanted to keep partying after - Sparkler send off was the perfect way to end our night Overall, we could not have been happier with making the decision to have our ceremony and wedding reception at The Stanley Historic Event Space!!!

our wedding was executed flawlessly. We cannot recommend them enough. The staff was incredibly helpful the day of with setting up everything perfectly and communicating with my parents. We were supposed to have a rooftop wedding, but it ended up raining. Luckily, the Kingston room is beautiful and we still had the most perfect, romantic ceremony. We also saved so much on decorations because the Stanley has many beautiful pieces to borrow for decor. Our wedding was absolutely perfect thanks to The Stanley and its staff!

se to questions and changes. The Stanley is a beautiful historic venue that offers tremendous flexibility at value prices without compromise! (Fathers of the bride will appreciate that). The staff was very attentive and responsive during the event taking care of our unexpected needs. Cindy is a creative artist with the ability to paint the perfect canvas of background to highlight the bride and groom’s blessed Union. She will relieve your stress in creating the perfect event. 5 stars are not enough. Thank you Cindy, Bryan & Staff for a night to always remember! Steve & Vicky

y now husband looked at - we were sold immediately. Cindy was the best and made us feel extremely welcome and comfortable in trusting them with our special day. We booked the same day as our tour and I never knew how perfect the venue would be for us. My ideal things I needed to have were a bridal suite, grooms suite, and two different spaces for the ceremony and reception. The Stanley not only had all these things but they had an added gorgeous rooftop perfect for taking pictures and doing first looks. I am so grateful to have found The Stanley and I will recommend it to anyone wanting to get married in the KC Metro. Thank you Cindy and your wonderful staff for making our day unforgettable - we will forever be appreciative!

tions. The venue is just absolutely beautiful! Jennifer was so helpful through the process and made planning a wedding seem easy! She was super responsive and answered all my questions and provided suggestions as well. On the day of the wedding, we couldn't be any happier! It went so smooth! Sarita, the event coordinator, was amazing! Her experience and knowledge were key during the wedding; directing vendors, putting up day of decorations, etc... She made everything move so seamlessly! The venue was gorgeous and the staff were so helpful in every way! We couldn't have picked a better venue. We felt so special and would HIGHLY recommend the Stanley event space for any wedding or event!

relieve the stresses that came with planning a wedding during COVID. One of our favorite aspects was that we had access to all three floors of the venue. The Stanley is so absolutely beautiful and I would definitely recommend this venue to future couples!

anley! They have a beautiful rooftop space but their inside ceremony space is just as dreamy. Our guests loved being able to move upstairs to the reception after the ceremony. The space is incredibly beautiful and the staff is lovely! I would totally recommend this venue to anyone in the KC area.

ed us financially as much as possible. I can’t imagine working with anyone else during such a stressful time. Not only that, but Cindy has an amazing storage room with decorations to use as you please. We looked at multiple venues and really wanted a space that was affordable but beautiful, and that is exactly what The Stanley is. Our day was amazing and I would highly recommend this space and crew!

re hands on and the absolute best to work with. They made all my dreams turn into reality. The venue is absolutely to die for we used the Kingston room, aspen room, and rooftop. Cindy (one of the owners) answered all my questions in a timely manner and made the whole process leading up to the day a breeze. Our day of coordinated could not have been more helpful and accommodating to me or my husband! All around this venue and it’s people are amazing! You’d be silly to choose anywhere else on your special day!! Thank you Stanley staff for being apart of my special day 💕

experience. We used the Kingston and Aspen rooms and the rooftop. It was just beautiful and the staff is stellar to work with. Beautiful setting for photos and the Sparkler exit was a huge hit at the end. Thank you for making our day the best we could have imagined.

ofessional, courteous, and accommodating which made my wedding day 100% stress-free. The space is GORGEOUS and there are so many cool spots in downtown Lee's Summit for pictures which turned out absolutely beautiful! If I could do it all over again I wouldn't change a thing. There is nothing in the Lee's Summit area comparable - call them today, you will not be disappointed!!

ience here.

ne of the owners) took care of us wonderfully throughout the entire process and made wedding planning a whole lot less stressful. This is a family owned business, and it is evident!! Thank you Stanley Staff!!

ultimately was the best choice we could have made. From the beginning when we met Cindy we felt comfortable and supported and were extremely impressed with their attention to detail, responsiveness, and genuine attitudes towards helping our day go smoothly! I didnt have to worry about setting up or tearing down decorations which is something important to me. The day of ran so smoothly that if there were any problems I was blissfully unaware. I would suggest this venue to any bride starting to look! Not only is it absolutely beautiful but the staff makes it low stress so that you can enjoy your big day! Thanks Cindy!

any) and made sure every little detail was taken care of. There are 3 levels of entertainment space in the Aspen room to fit everyone’s style. I was so happy with how everything turned out on the day of my reception and would recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a beautiful event space.

dding always included my (many) visits to the Stanley and our planning meetings. This venue offers you not only the amazing support along the way, but not to mention the absolutely stunning venue and its’ surroundings. We got married in the Kingston Room, had cocktail hour on the rooftop, and reception in the Aspen Room. The entire venue is so elegant, and beautiful, yet it feels so personal and inviting. My husband and I relocated to Colorado mid-wedding planning and I can honestly say, even planning a wedding states away, Cindy and her team were always here for us. There are countless venues in the metro area, but there is only one wedding venue I would recommend and that is the Stanley. Cindy and your staff, thank you so very much for giving me the wedding of my dreams and so much more!

fessional and the best to work with!!!

ow to make the wedding perfect! We recommend this with two thumbs up!

s venue is that there are stairs and no elevator. So guest do have to ascend the stairs to attend the ceremony, head back downstairs for the dinner portion and ascend once again for the dancing. We took the risk, only being concerned with my grandmother who managed with a little help that evening. Owner, Cindy, was wonderful and answered my e mails the week leading up to the ceremony quickly. Because there may be a ceremony the evening before yours, you may not be able to get into the venue as early as you would like. Fortunately, I had several friends to help set up the ceremony and dinner reception areas. Sarita was our day of coordinator who also handled our rehearsal. She was very sweet to us and took care of what we needed handled. She had kind words for us as she walked us to the car after the evening was over. I do have some suggestions for the Stanley and things for brides to keep in mind. One being that there are two venues here and while seeing another bride on your wedding day is pretty much the last thing you want to see, it's likely to happen. It happened to me while taking photos in the nearest alleyway with my bridesmaids. The parties exchanged kind words and it is what it is. The other slightly annoying part about getting married in the beautiful, smaller venue next to the large Aspen room is that everyone assumes that when you say you're getting married at "The Stanley" that you mean the Aspen Room. The staff there made this mistake leading up tp the wedding, our vendors did too and it made us feel like our venue was downplayed to nearly nonexistent. Just because it holds less people and you want to have a more intimate wedding doesn't make it any less beautiful or special. Sometimes we were made to feel that way unfortunately. Suggestions would be for the bridal suite. Yes, it is small, but it works out. I do think a toilet seat lid is in order. It keeps things from accidentally getting into the toilet and could make for another spot to sit in a pinch. I would also suggest a curtain to cover the mirror over the sink. Your guests are arriving up the back staircase and if that suite door opens, guests can look right into the mirror and see the bride standing at the opposite end of the room. My bridesmaids covered the mirror with a jacket every time the door was opened to prevent this from happening. The only let down I felt revolving around the venue on my wedding day was when I asked for a glass of wine. I noticed the "barefoot" brand label which I know runs $5-6 at the store, but I was paying $20 a bottle for it. I get there's a markup, but that 4 to 1 ratio seems excessive. Also, we were told there would be 10 guests to a table and planned accordingly having two "reserved" signs for our first two tables, one for family and one for our bridal party as we sat at a sweetheart table. Instead there was an odd 8 top table squeezed in the front so our families and bridal party were confused and ended up mixed and a couple scattered. I would have planned appropriately had I known. Overall, we were pleased with the venue, the staff and our day was wonderful.

me for me to drop in with my mother when she came in town and when I wanted to look at the something borrowed room to browse the decorations after I thought I was already decided. She kept me up to date on weather since we were planning a roof top ceremony, and her staff kept me feeling calm on what could have been a stressful day. Cindy's staff communicated everything with us, and even with a little rain at the beginning of the rooftop cocktail hour somehow we were still able to have the rooftop ceremony of our dreams. Thank you Cindy, Tyler and the rest of the staff at the Stanley for making our day everything and more!

helpful, in such a stressful time, and we couldn’t be more grateful to her. Our wedding was an absolute dream. Everything came together even better than I had imagined. Sarita, the on-site coordinator for our wedding, did a wonderful job of helping keep us cool calm and collected. I am so glad I chose to have my wedding at The Historic Space!!!

will help get your wedding vision down to a 'T'. I am so happy that we had our reception at The Stanley and enjoyed our day so much! Thank you!!
