My husband and I recently celebrated our one year anniversary, an occasion that caused us to reflect back on the previous year and on our wedding day. In doing so, we couldn’t stop thinking about our amazing venue (Terrace on Grand) and its amazing staff, Heather in particular, who could not have done more to make our wedding so special. We are so so so lucky to have had our wedding here, and would highly recommend you do the same.
Where to begin! If you're looking for a city wedding with everything included, this is your place! My wedding day was absolutely perfect and it would not have been possible without Kelsi. She is the sweetest and calmest person, and when it comes to weddings and nerves, that is exactly the type of person you need! Planning was soo easy. They took care of everything from linens, table set up, tear down, drinks, bartenders, and food. The only thing we had to bring was a DJ, flowers, and cake. They know exactly what they are doing and ask you all the right questions to get what you want. I had absolutely no troubles during my wedding day, everything was set up on time and as planned. The transition from rooftop ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner and dancing was seamless. All my wedding guests had nothing but positive reviews about their experience there. They said the bartenders were super nice and funny and the food was delicious! Some guests even said it was the best wedding they had ever attended! After the wedding day, picking up leftover flowers and cake was simple and straight forward. I cannot recommend Terrace on Grand enough! It is an absolute gem for a city wedding with spectacular rooftop views.
I'm not exaggerating, our wedding was the best of any wedding I've ever been to, and every single guest told us so! Everything ran so seamlessly thanks to Kelsi and the staff. Booking a venue while out of state was daunting but with everything that Terrace on Grand had to offer, booking with them was a no brainer! Decorations-wise, all we had to do was supply the flowers. TOG provided table cloths, napkins, chair covers, glassware, vases, easels, mirrors, a gorgeous piano for the cake, a projector....pretty much everything, and they set everything up for us and cleaned up everything. Kelsi was also more than willing to answer our questions over email or via webex during the planning process since we weren't local. The space turned out BEAUTIFULLY, the bartenders were so much fun (which isn't something I would normally consider to be important but our guests had so much fun dancing with them), and the food was *absolutely* to die for. (I'll admit, at the tasting I was underwhelmed which made me a little nervous, but day of it was some of the best food I've ever had, and it was plated beautifully. Every person ate their entire plate, it was so good). We chose the beef marsala (chef made it gluten free for us!) and the Paella (with and without shrimp to cater to our vegetarian guests). They were so helpful in accommodating to all dietary restrictions that we had! We opted for the plated dinner and I'm not kidding, all guests were given each course within 30 seconds of each other, not the typical sit-around-and-wait-for-the-entree-for-25-minutes-while-the-other-tables-eat that I've experienced at other weddings. It was incredible. Our guests LOVED the rooftop and I loved being able to have that extra space for our guests if they wanted some fresh air in between dancing or just to take pictures and enjoy the view. Kelsi also catered so well to the bridal party- during horderves we were hanging out on the 2nd floor to escape the heat and without hesitation she brought us all waters and a tray of the horderves to keep us fed. She was absolutely amazing.
I will recommend this venue to anyone and everyone who gets married in downtown KC because there is no better place, I promise you. Initially we had been looking at venues that were way out of our budget (we have very expensive taste lol) and I was worried this venue wouldn't be fancy enough or live up to our expectations. I couldn't have been more wrong. Everything was stunning, and I wish I could do it all over again! 10/10!!
I literally cannot say enough good things about Terrace on Grand. They were incredible to work with and made our wedding day beautiful, stress free, and so special. We originally wanted to check them out because we wanted to have our ceremony on a rooftop, and when we saw their beautiful space and found out that they have an almost all inclusive package and do almost everything, we knew we had to book them. When we decided to postpone a year due to COVID, Heather was very understanding and made it so easy to change our date. We originally booked an April wedding because that has been our anniversary for so long, and when we changed, we were anticipating having to change that. We got so lucky that they had an opening on what would be the same weekend as our original date! When we picked back up the planning after the delay, Kelsi was extremely helpful and just a delightful person. She was always quick to respond to questions and it was easy to schedule walkthroughs and our final meeting. The day of went so smoothly because of Kelsi and TOG's amazing and attentive staff. The decorations were gorgeous, the food was delicious, and our special day was amazing. I want to mention that the Record Bar is right below the venue, and there was a, I believe, metal show that night. I think they did a mic check before any guests arrived that you could hear in the reception space, but during our ceremony on the roof, they were either done (Heather mentioned they work with the Record Bar with timing of TOG events and RB shows) or we were far enough up because you could not hear any of it. And then they played their show during our reception, but with our music on, you could not hear it. The only reason we knew there was a concert happening below us is because we heard it when we were leaving at the end of the night.
I did not have a good experience with TOG. I got married in April&I put off writing this review because it makes me sad. I will say the location is beautiful& the catering did great.
I worked with Heather & her daughter Kelsi when planning my wedding. Kelsi tries hard, seems to want to do a good job, but maybe didn’t have the support or staff to get everything done in time for my 5:30pm wedding.
Working with Heather was awful. She appears to be kind/care, but she doesn't. She made promises that sold us on the venue but didn’t have the time/energy to make them happen. It got worse when my wedding was postponed bc the mayor shut the city back down 2 weeks before our original date. Heather was pushy for me to stay with my original date even though it would've cost the same, guest were dropping like flies, guests would have to remain in their seats for the entire event,& I wasn’t allowed to have a dance floor. When I postponed, she treated me like I was a huge annoyance to her.
Many simple things were not executed on my day. The few staff they had weren’t able to get it done& I truly don’t think Heather showed up until right before the ceremony. I was around the venue the entire day& I never saw her until right before the ceremony.
Some forgotten things include-
-Not enough chairs for the ceremony-guests including my FAMILY had to stand
-staff took my champagne for my bridal party while getting ready& insisted on putting it in the refrigerator, then refused to give it to us while getting ready because the staff was too busy
-forgot my guest blankets for cold rooftop wedding
-forgot programs
-didn't use my arbor decor
-said they would flip the rooftop to cocktail style after the ceremony but didn’t
-didn’t have enough staff for bars/servers (didn't have enough staff to begin with, but tried to tell me they all left early because a few guests weren’t being complaint with their masks)*many of their staff were wearing their masks way under their nose so that is hard to believe
-paid for top shelf for Grey Goose(heather confirmed it would be served)but then just served whatever cheaper alcohol she wanted
-didn’t have our last dance
-after sparkler send off-Heather literally locked the doors behind us while all of our bridal party’s personal belongings(cell phones/purses) were still in the bridal suite& told us to come back for them on Tuesday
It did rain the morning of my wedding, but it cleared off early. This shouldn't be a huge setback for a rooftop wedding venue that is used to weather.
When I emailed Heather after my wedding day wanting some answers, she was not kind. I feel like she was being a protective mom since her daughter oversaw my day. It didn’t feel fair to me, bc I don’t care if they are related, I paid 1000s of dollars for my wedding& they let me down.
When Heather returned my email, she made crazy accusations that are embarrassing to even say. She made up lies that my guests were so non-compliant that things couldn’t get done, &that my bridal party had clogged their toilets so bad there was no time to get my ceremony ready. She said she “she stuck her hand in poop for me so that my event could go on”. Their venue isn't huge, if any of this would have happened, I would have been aware. She took no responsibility
My advice if you choose this venue is to hire an outside wedding planner that can make sure they get things done. They discourage you from doing that & say it is included, but that is my biggest regret.
There is not one bad thing I could say about our experience at The Terrace. We planned our wedding from Seattle, and Kelsi and Heather were extremely fast in their responses and were able to work around my limited ability to travel and meet in person.
The entire team is a well-oiled machine! They have their systems down to a science and everything ran so smoothly!
The venue itself is beautiful, and they have many decorations on site which further helped my planning from afar.
Another thing that sold us was catering on site. We received compliments all night about how good the food was!
I would choose The Terrace on Grand a hundred times over. It was perfect!
We had our reception at Terrace on Grand, and we can't say enough great things about it.
The Space- what sold us on the space was the rooftop terrace (it overlooks the city skyline). We used this space for our cocktail hour and setup lawn games (jenga and cornhole) for our guests to escape to during the reception. Our reception was on the third floor, which is a beautiful loft-style space. We loved the unique look of the bar and the romantic lighting.
The Staff - the space was perfect, but the staff was what made our day even more perfect. Kelsi and Heather were amazing to work with and treated us like family. They went above and beyond to make sure our wedding reception was everything we imagined it to be. They were very easy to get ahold of and helpful throughout the entire planning process. Kelsi is so thoughtful and kind, and she thought through ALL of the details. She made sure our day was perfect, and I cannot say enough good things about her.
The Food - we got so many compliments from our guests on how delicious the food was. We did it buffet-style and there was plenty of food (many guests even went up for seconds). My husband wanted mac n cheese at our wedding, but I nixed that idea. When we sat down for dinner, the chef sent out a plate of mac n cheese special for him. It was so thoughtful (and very delicious).
We liked how the bar, catering, and linens were all included in the cost for this space. We can't recommend this place enough - book while it's available!
The Terrace on Grand was an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING venue!!! I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day! Our coordinator Kelsi was beyond amazing to work with and made the wedding day run so smoothly!!! She has such an amazing calm personality and makes your wedding vision come to life! Kelsi is so incredibly kind and very responsive and fast to any questions!!! The venue had so many great things included and made the wedding day so enjoyable with ZERO stress!!! They set up the entire venue and cleaned up everything which was so great! They have an amazing chef and everyone at our wedding loved our food!! He even remembered how I loved his panko chicken and made me my own personal plate of it along with a side of ketchup! It was so thoughtful and he certainly went above and beyond!! I also loved at the end of the night my husband and I got our own personal dance after all the guests left- it was so special!!! I would give Terrace on Grand 1000000 stars!! If you are looking for a wedding venue I can promise you this is the BEST place!!! They also have a stunning rooftop that over looked downtown! I could go on and on how AMAZING the venue, chef, Kelsi, and staff are! Thank you for making my wedding day an absolute dream come true!!!!!
This is such a unique venue in downtown KC because of the rooftop terrace, central location, affordability and event coordinators. We did an extensive search and none of the other downtown venues compared. The rooftop terrace and indoor reception space allows you to have the entire event in one location. The venue is in a great part of downtown, within walking distance to hotels, bars and restaurants which was nice for our out-of-town guests. Heather and Kelsi are FABULOUS, very organized and make you feel like family. They coordinated delivery/set-up with my vendors and kept me on track during my wedding day which eliminated the need for a day-of-coordinator. They are able to provide a lot of complimentary decor which allows you to cut costs. The catering is in-house and is absolutely delicious! Their pricing is also very reasonable compared to other downtown venues. We are SO happy we had our wedding at Terrace and will recommend them over and over again!
For starters, Kelsi & Hannah were absolutely incredible to work with from start to finish. They helped us every step of the way on planning and made the stressful process of planning a wedding so much easier for us. Then on the actual wedding day, they went above and beyond for us. We were having a rooftop ceremony and it started downpouring right before our scheduled ceremony. Instead of making us move the ceremony inside, they saw that we could wait 30-45 minutes for a break in the rain and opened up the bar early so our guests could have drinks and mingle while we waited out the rain. They didn't have to do any of this but it ended up making the day that much more special for us. We can't thank them enough for making our wedding the best day of our lives!
Beautiful place with a staff that definitely knows how to run a wedding/ reception. They provided a lot of our decorations and did all the set up and take down. Your alcohol package and catering also goes through them. I only have two complaints- #1 is the price. There were a few things that we did not know were not included in the quoted price, but were extra on the final bill (like chairs for the service). The 2nd is that things seemed to be miscommunicated from time to time like the scheduling of our tasting and many guests were not seated at the right table we had asked for them to be sat at. Overall, they were great people and the day had few flaws.
We first started looking for a wedding venue in July of 2019. I knew I wanted my wedding to have the ceremony and reception at the same location (but without a room flip). We visited about 10 venues before deciding on Terrace on Grand. What sold us? The rooftop ceremony space! The view of Kansas City from the roof is breathtaking. Another reason why we loved Terrace on Grand is their all inclusive experience. Anything and everything is provided through Terrace on Grand! Chairs, tables, linens, booze, food, even some decoration! They are not only a wedding venue, but wedding planners as well! Heather and Kelsi did an AMAZING job making our vision come to life! Everything ran smoothly and we didn't even have to lift a finger! Heather, Kelsi and the Terrace on Grand crew set everything up, dismissed tables to be served for dinner, took everything down at the end of the evening and even boxed up the supplies I had brought. Our guests said Terrace on Grand was a "magnificent" venue- and I couldn't agree more. I couldn't have imagined having our wedding anywhere else.
We got married at Terrace on Grand in September 2019, and we cannot say enough about how amazing this venue is. The venue itself is obviously beautiful - you can’t beat the rooftop view. But the people at TOG are what really make this place phenomenal. Emad and Heather helped coordinate our day, and they are two of the most genuine, kind, and hardworking people. They have thought through every detail of the day and were prepared in every way to make the day go smoothly. Leading up to the wedding, they met with us multiple times to discuss timeline and decorations. They had many helpful suggestions and tips that helped with our planning process, but ultimately, they allow you the flexibility to make your day however you envision it. They took notes on how we wanted everything to look, and set everything up for us perfectly the day of the wedding (centerpieces, guest book table, cocktail hour, everything). They even took note of which guests had food allergies and which table they would be at to make sure they were accommodated. Emad even knew how to bustle my dress for me! They add meaningful details to the day, such as arranging a special last dance for the newlywed couple. And at the end of the night, when we realized we hadn’t arranged for a ride to our hotel, Heather coordinated to quickly find us an Uber. The food at Terrace on Grand is delicious - we got many compliments from guests on how great the food was! Additionally, we chose to hire Remix DJ’s per TOG’s recommendation, and couldn’t be happier with our decision. The two companies work seamlessly together. All in all, we are so thankful that we got married at Terrace on Grand! This place and these people are simply the very best.

The Terrace on Grand was the perfect venue! Heather and her team were super easy to work with and were incredibly helpful and thoughtful throughout the planning process and the day itself. They run a very smooth operation. The food and bar were excellent as well. I would highly highly highly recommend this venue to anyone that wants a smooth, organized, professional venue and staff with a beautiful urban rooftop terrace. Could not be happier with choosing this venue!
Emad and Heather were extremely helpful, accommodating, and over all pleasant to work with! It was so convenient that they were there as coordinators as well to help our day go smoothly. Any small problem that we had, they were able to come up with a solution. It was also so nice that they several rooms full of decor left from previous brides that were able to use — ranging anywhere from plate chargers to a gorgeous flower wall. The venue itself was also perfect (and better than our last venue that ended up closing 4 months before our date). Everything from the food catering from their very own cooks to the views were top notch for such a great price. I definitely recommend booking the terrace on grand!
Emad and Heather will help you handle everything during the planning process and your wedding day! Our day went so smoothly because of them. They were very accommodating to all the little changes we wanted to make. We have had so many compliments on the food and Emad and Heather.
I wish I could give Terrace on Grand more than 5 stars! The venue is not only beautiful, but Heather and Emad are amazing! They were both beyond helpful during the planning process, answered all of our questions, and helped us with scheduling. On the day of the wedding, Heather was fantastic - she made sure everything went smoothly and kept us calm during the actual storm that rolled through (even raining on our rooftop ceremony briefly). The food was wonderful, and staff very attentive. Heather and Emad went above and beyond our expectations.
Being in the industry myself as a professional Makeup Artist I know very well the importance of hiring professionals for the big day! Everything went perfect under the supervision of Emad and Heather. If something didn't go as planned they made sure I wasn't informed and stressed out. This is what professionals do!! Neither the bride or the groom have to worry about anything during their big day.
Emad and his staff were absolutely professionals, they took care of EVERYTHING, including providing us a timeline for the event, helping the other vendors to run everything smoothly, giving directions to the guests, and so on. I also have to say that Emad has a great sense of beauty and he is very well organized. Nothing is left to chance when it comes to The Terrace on Grand!!
The view from the rooftop is amazing, the main room is so elegant and classy, yet modern. I don't think there's any other location in the area like this one.
Yes, it's on the pricey side but considering the service provided, from coordinating the event, to the food, the open bar, the linens, and much more, was worth every penny! I would love to get married here again!!! lol
Where to even begin.... this place. BOOK IT! Do not hesitate. From the second, I entered TOG, I knew it was where I wanted to have our reception. It would take me forever to express all my feelings of positivity and happiness with this place and the people who run it, Emad and Heather. They are the most organized, on top of it, experienced coordinators. They answer all your questions immediately and will do whatever they can to make couples happy [within reason ;)]. We had the best wedding reception and I chalk it up to these two. Everything is bundled at TOG, making it a very affordable option and less work on your end. They do everything for you from set-up to tear- down to logistics. The rooftop was also a HUGE hit among our wedding guests- that view cannot be beat. The catering is also delicious. We did an Italian buffet and our guests could not stop raving about it! We had the absolute BEST wedding reception and I have Heather and Emad to thank for that. Book right now- you will be SO happy you did.
When my husband and I visited Terrace on Grand we knew this was where we wanted to have our wedding. First, Heather and Emad were outstanding, they made planning so simple. They were there every step of the way and made sure we had a flawless day. The venue itself is BEAUTIFUL! We got married on the rooftop and the view was stunning. They coordinated the day and we didn't have to do anything other than enjoy our wedding. The food was outstanding, guests raved about how good the food was. The venue is located to so many hotels downtown which made it easy for all of our out of town guests. The staff was very professional and the day went off without any problems. I am so glad we went with Terrace on Grand and would recommend the venue to anyone. My husband and I can't thank everyone enough for the work they did to make sure we had a perfect wedding.
We had our wedding reception at the Terrace on Grand on August 10th, 2019, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about the venue or the staff. The venue itself is beautiful and in an amazing location next to many different hotels and the Power and Light District. The terrace overlooks the KC skyline, which was very cool especially for our out of town guests and KC natives alike. The fact that everything is included with the wedding package makes it incredibly easy for a busy bride to plan a wedding reception. Emad and Heather are the best team to work with hands down. From day one, they were always responsive, kind, and easy-going. They both work so well together, and they helped my stress level IMMENSELY when it came to the planning process as well as the day-of events (which was not an easy task). They pay close attention to detail, and helped make sure our day was exactly how I had envisioned. On the day of our wedding, I had no doubt that Emad and Heather would make sure everything ran smoothly, but they exceeded all of my expectations. The level of customer service they provided to my husband and I is the definition of above and beyond! I couldn't even imagine having our wedding reception anywhere else, and I cannot recommend the Terrace on Grand highly enough!!
This was the venue of our dreams! Emad and Heather were amazing throughout the entire process and made the day run so smooth. We were so thankful to have worked with them and had them there to support us through our big day. The venue has a beautiful rooftop with great views of the KC skyline. The reception was set up beautifully and the food served at dinner was amazing!
Wow, what more could we say about Terrace on Grand? Heather and Emad were FANTASTIC to work with!! We did not have to lift a finger during the rehearsal, the ceremony, or the reception. Every need was taken care of, the food was great, and our day ran so smoothly. Our family and friends were very impressed with how professional and attentive the staff were. We booked them because they said "you won't need to work on your wedding day," and they were right. We had such a fun, gorgeous evening thanks to the hard work of the staff and coordinators. Booking Terrace was easily the best decision we made, and we would HIGHLY recommend their services.
The Terrace on Grand was AMAZING! We are from out of town and did everything over phone and email. Emad and Heather took care of all the little things so that we could enjoy the day. From sending in the marriage license to the state, making sure we had time to eat during the reception without being bothered, or making sure we were on time with pictures, it was stress-less. Everyone is still saying how beautiful the wedding was and how much they enjoyed themselves! 100% recommend them to everyone! Thank you guys so much!
Joe & I got married on June 1, 2019. We couldn't have picked a better venue with better coordinators. Emad and Heather were available for any questions I had, made everything a breeze, and really cared for us and our happiness. The weather forecast was terrifying for me, but Emad was confident the weather would pass and it did! They have the ceremony and reception down to a science, my husband and I ate our entire meal and everything else went off without any issues and if there were, we didn't notice because Heather and Emad handled it. Emad was even fighting a cold during our day but I couldn't tell until the end of the night when he went home a little early and apologized to us. After all of his hard work all day, I couldn't believe he did it all while feeling under the weather. So many issues with the day were non-issues to the groom and I because Emad and Heather handled it. I can't recommend this venue enough!
We could not have asked for a better wedding venue!! Emad, Heather and the entire TOG team were absolutely lovely to work with. They had every detail covered and did their best to make the whole process as stress-free as possible for us. They think of all the little things to make sure the day is as perfect as can be. They were very prompt with returning emails with little questions and ideas. The rooftop terrace is unlike any venue in downtown KC. 10/10 would recommend this venue!!
Terrace on Grand (TOG) was one of the easiest venues to work with of all the places we contacted in the KC area (anyone who is looking knows this struggle as there are so many). The entire staff was there for us from the beginning to the end. My wife and I are not the best planners and honestly just wanted a day where our friends and family could be together without all the traditional wedding hassle. After and even during the wedding, our family and friends were amazed (and a little jealous) about how smoothly the entire day went. TOG provides a list of recommended vendors who are forth coming and honest about what to expect. (One of these vendors even recommended us to someone who was a little more in our price range and was so helpful). The location is amazing being in the heart of P&L, the pictures on their website are exactly what you are signing up for and Emad will basically be your wedding planner from day one. I cannot thank them enough for giving my bride and I the wedding of our dreams. If you call and set up a tour you will not be disappointed!
Terrace on Grand is an intimate and amazing place, surpassed only by the amazing staff.
Emad and Heather (and the TOG team) made the night felt like pure magic, all because of their absolute attention to making sure we were stress-free on the most important day of our lives. From helping set up the flowers, to setting up the table in honor of my parents, to Chris remembering the groom didn’t like onions and bringing out a separate salad, they TOG team truly took the time to listen and make such a surreal experience.
Emad and Heather thank you for prioritizing human connection above all else, you are thoughtful, kind and a joy to work with!!Thank you for being patient, clear and making our dreams come true!!
We lucked out when we found Terrace on Grand. The venue itself is clean and gorgeous with amazingly romantic lighting. The food is delicious and has so many options. Their bridal suite was perfect for my mother and bridesmaids to prepare in. Most importantly, Emad and Heather, the coordinators for your prepping and day of schedule, are amazing people. Both were easy to talk to, super accommodating and flexible, and made our wedding perfect and smooth.
Terrace on Grand, Emad, and Heather offer so much that you're left feeling relaxed and confident that your day will be as perfect as you're hoping it will be. Do yourself a favor and contact them as soon as possible-- you will not be disappointed. :)
Having my wedding at Terrace on Grand was the best decision I made for my wedding. They think of everything and help you with every step of the way. The location is wonderful and close to all of the major downtown attractions which makes it easy to take pictures around town. The rooftop is also gorgeous. There is a huge team working so you can rest assured that they will take care of the set up and clean up. The food was delicious and guests raved about it all night! Emad was remarkably attentive and knew exactly what I needed without saying a word. He truly enjoys what he does and his passion made the day go off seamlessly. Thank you Terrace!
There is no better venue than The Terrace on Grand. From the rooftop wedding in NOVEMBER to the indoor reception to the food and alcohol to the staff and especially to EMAD AND MAGGIE, everything about this venue is first class. Emad and Maggie quickly responded to all phone calls and emails. Emad helped me set up a day of timeline AND called ALL the other vendors to confirm the details with them, which was huge! Maggie and Emad are so detailed oriented and they made sure everything went smoothly (and if it didn't, I didn't know about it!) and made sure everything turned out just how I wanted it! I had issues with my bustle all night and Emad was constantly helping me fix it. I cannot say enough good things about this venue and all their staff! I highly recommend them to everyone!
My husband & I got married at the Terrace on Grand in June. It was amazing!!! The venue is beautiful! Emad & Maggie are so attentive & experienced! They thought of everything! One of our flower girls got black grease on her white dress minutes before the ceremony. Emad & Maggie came to the rescue & got it out. They helped make the entire day go smoothly! I was relaxed knowing they were there. The chef is incredible & the food was delicious! We heard great things from many of our guests as well. Highly recommended!!!
The Terrace On Grand is a wonderful venue!!! Our family and guests loved the beautiful view, the AMAZING food, and the great bar! Many of our guests told us the food was amazing, not just for wedding food, but that it was better than most top restaurants! We HIGHLY recommend the Beef Tenderloin carving station and the Pork Tenderloin!! (Forget chicken, your guests will thank you for choosing the pork!)
We loved working with Emad and Maggie!!! They made everything so easy! From the first tour through the entire reception, they were kind, informative, professional, and exceptionally hard working! They always responded to emails in a timely manner from me and my mom!! They went above and beyond the call of duty to help make our day amazing!! We had forgotten to bring a reception decoration the day before the wedding during setup and Maggie stopped by our hotel the day of the wedding to pick it up so that we didn’t have to stop during wedding prep to take it down there. They are truly wonderful at their jobs!!!!
If you want a venue that showcases the best of Kansas City, has AMAZING food and GREAT bar selection, and has coordinators that will treat you like family you will find it at Terrace on Grand.
The Terrace on Grand is Top Notch! Our wedding/reception was absolutely amazing. Not only is this venue turnkey with it's elegant ballroom, it's rooftop views showcase downtown Kansas City. The staff was impeccable and I cannot say enough about Emad and Maggie. They both were so helpful throughout the entire process. They nailed it. They thought of every detail and always shared ideas. Our guests are still talking about how good the food was and how they loved the ambiance of The Terrace on Grand. I highly recommend this venue to anyone for any event. It was truly the best day of my life. ~
BEST VENUE EVER!!!!!
I searched and searched for venues that would be affordable, but beautiful. Finding a venue in the heart of the city that meets that criteria can be challenging, but The Terrace on Grand exceeded my expectations.
Maggie and Emad responded to all of my questions through email quickly and made the wedding planning feel easy. Their experience shows. They are the day of coordinators and are included with booking the venue. Everything flowed smoothly and was on time because of them. Trust everything they recommend and if you have a specific way you want to do something, they will make it happen.
Having my wedding at The Terrace on Grand allowed me to use all of their decorations that were left by previous brides and events. I didn't have to buy much at all to help supplement what they already had to create what I envisioned. The food was also great! The chef worked with us to make the menu what we wanted and also made sure our other guests with dietary restrictions had a delicious meal. They also provide a suggested list of vendors, which I ended up using most of. Again, that made the planning so much easier and made me feel better knowing that my vendors had experience there as well.
I can't say enough positive things about this venue. So much is include when you book with them. Make sure you check them out for your wedding or next big event! Maggie and Emad helped make my day perfect and I will forever be grateful and thankful that I chose The Terrace on Grand for my special day.
I don't even know where to begin....everything about the Terrace on Grand was AMAZING!! Literally from the time we initially toured the facility until after our wedding, Maggie and Emad were wonderful. They went above and beyond to make sure no detail was left out. They completely eliminated any need for a wedding planner. We had our ceremony on the rooftop and our reception inside. The view of the city from the rooftop is awesome and was a great setting to be able to show off KC to all of our out of town guests that had never visited before. The inside is beautiful as well and was just the look we were going for! They even had a room full of decorations available to use at no additional charge, which was awesome. The food was fabulous and the service during the reception was top notch. Maggie and Emad made the entire process a breeze and made me feel 100% at ease on the day of our wedding. There was nothing they didn't think of. They truly go out of their way to make sure that everything runs smoothly (and on time)! I highly recommend Terrace on Grand to anyone getting married or hosting any other event! I am so glad we chose Terrace on Grand for our wedding and loved working with these two!
Natasha and I would first like to thank Emad, Maggie and their wonderful staff again for all they did during the entire process from the initial tour all the way to the days after the wedding. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous. The main reception hall is grand. The rooftop is incredible with a wonderful 360 degree view of the downtown skyline. We didn't have the best of weather to have our ceremony outside but we got a break from the rain just in time for our evening ceremony. We were determined to have that gorgeous setting for the ceremony and we powered through the chilly weather to do it. Emad and his staff were wonderful the day of in getting everything organized even when the weather wasn't great. The food was wonderful. We kept getting compliments all evening and the days following about how great the food was. We would recommend this venue to any couple that is looking for a unique downtown wedding experience. You won't get much better than this.
We got married at the Terrace on Grand in September and it was absolutely wonderful! Families were all out of town and the work that Emad and Maggie did was unbelieveable! They made sure our day was exactly how we wanted it and it was everything we could have dreamed about - our day was seriously PERFECT! For this venue to have an “all inclusive” type of packages, and it is the best route to go. We highly recommend the Terrace on Grand!
What can I say about Terrace on Grand? Wow! They were PERFECT. Emad is the guy to trust if you don't want to worry about the details on your big day! From the moment we toured the venue through the end of our wedding reception, he surpassed all of our expectations.
The venue is BEAUTIFUL. A rooftop wedding (or even indoors) is absolutely magical. The reception room is large enough for a size-able crowd and still has plenty of room to move around and dance! This venue is all-inclusive with food and drink so that you don't have to shop for those vendors - and BONUS - the food is genuinely delicious! You won't be disappointed in the meals or bar staff. Emad will coordinate all of the timing for your vendors, and he'll help ensure your bridal vision is completed.
Our wedding was better than I could've ever imagined, and that's largely because of the work and care that Emad puts into each of his clients.
We had an incredible experience throughout the planning of and on the day of our wedding. We live in Florida, but Emad and Maggie were with us every step of the way and made planning our special day a breeze. The food and venue were amazing and we also received wonderful recommendations for photographers, DJs and florists from them. They really bent over backwards making sure that everything was taken care of and all of our needs met. We absolutely could not recommend Terrace on Grand enough to anyone thinking about having their wedding or event there!
Booking Terrace on Grand was hands down the BEST wedding decision we made! Words can never express how perfect, worry-free, and a dream come true our wedding day was. Not only did we LOVE our day at Terrace on Grand, but our guests have been raving about their experience as well. While on our honeymoon, we had many guests send us messages about the different aspects that they loved about our wedding (all thanks to Terrace on Grand) -- whether that was the view, the food, or how smoothly the evening ran. Emad and Maggie took excellent care of us which ensured that we had the most time to celebrate with our guests. Additionally, the food was absolutely delicious — Chris is an awesome chef! As for that spectacular rooftop view, along with their first-class staff, there is no other venue downtown that compares. We are so incredibly grateful for Terrace on Grand (Emad, Maggie, & staff) for how perfect and problem-free our ceremony and reception was. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!
Emad and Maggie were amazing to work with! They made everything so easy for us and suggested ideas for our big day we never had thought about. The day of our wedding everything went so smoothly and the food and environment was simply amazing! I would highly recommend the Terrace on Grand to anyone who is looking for a stress free and memorable wedding!
Maggie and team are amazing, friendly, and professional! They made the planning and wedding easy and stress-free. The team took care of all setup and tear down, so we didn't have to worry about sending people over day of to help get everything setup. She coordinated with all our other vendors to ensure everything was on track. Maggie ensured that we had everything we needed night of, and that we had time to eat with little interruption. She was great at keeping us on schedule for events we had planned throughout the night. All our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and how much they enjoyed the food. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend this venue to anyone and everyone!! Maggie – thank you for helping make our wedding day perfect!
Great venue, great staff. It was amazing very well organized and planned. Emad was the greatest and he went above and beyond for us. We could not have asked for anything more for our special day.
Book. This. Venue! My fiancé and I looked at about 8 other venues and this was, hands down, the absolute best value for our urban wedding.
The space- we had our ceremony on the rooftop terrace and that space just can’t be beat: beautiful wood floor, white fence with greenery, turf for grassy space, and an unbeatable view. Our reception was on their third floor and it’s so unique, beautifully detailed, spacious, and timeless. The lighting is beautiful and romantic. On the second floor, they have a full bridal suite with plenty of mirrors, outlets, and bathroom space. The entry hallway is beautiful and so fun and easy to decorate however you want.
THE STAFF- I would book this venue just for the staff a million times again. Maggie is so sweet and so attentive and very detail oriented. So helpful the whole time!
Emad. Is. The. Best. I cannot say enough good things about how supportive, helpful, and fun he was throughout the entire planning process. He does it all. He was so easy to get ahold of and very responsive with any planning questions we had. He helped coordinate our menu and every single detail of our ceremony and reception to create the perfect day. He’s the best wedding coordinator I could ever imagine- very thoughtful, very precise, and so, so kind. He even stands guard and deters visitors while you eat at the reception because he insists that newlyweds eat at their own wedding. Brilliant. He tends to every single detail throughout the event to make sure you’re doing alright, things flow smoothly, and you have the perfect day. He doesn’t miss a beat. Cannot say enough how wonderful he is.
The extras- with this venue, you get the ceremony space, reception space, a bridal suite, an open bar, catering, and event staff all in one. It simply can’t be beat. Book while you can!
Our daughter looked at quite a few venues in the KC area before selecting Terrace On Grand for her wedding. All I can say is WOW! The facility is really nice, the staff is incredible and the food was delicious. Emad and Maggie took excellent care of us and created a beautiful rooftop wedding ceremony followed by a reception that received rave reviews from everyone who attended. They have done over 600 weddings so they have the experience that contributed to a problem-free wedding. They even offered great recommendations for other vendors, including the DJ, florist, musicians and photographer, based on their past experiences. This is a downtown location but their parking lot is only 500 feet from their front door and they station an attendant at the lot during the entire event. Everything was First-Class! As Father of the Bride I cannot thank you enough for all your help.
LOOK NO FURTHER! We couldn't have chosen a better venue for our wedding! Emad, Maggie, Heather and the rest of their staff was beyond helpful at making our day the most magical day ever. From day one the communication was amazing. Every e-mail or call was responded to right away. I planned my wedding from over 500 miles away and Emad and Maggie did a great job answering any questions I had as well as making suggestions about things I would have never thought of. I appreciated the convenience of having the food, bar, linens, tables, chairs among other add-ons all included. It made my life so much easier.
I felt that Terrace on Grand was a great value, the venue itself is stunning with one of the most spectacular 360 degree views of downtown. My guests are still talking about how lovely it all was. These people know how to put on a wedding...the day moved along seamlessly all thanks to Emad and his staff. That man is a wedding rockstar...he even helped my mother and bridesmaids bustle my dress after the ceremony.
If you want a low-stress venue in a great location that is sure to impress your friends and family, choose Terrace on Grand! My day was everything I'd hoped it would be.
TOG was our best decision!!! We had our ceremony on the 3rd floor, cocktail hour on the terrace & our reception back on the 3rd floor. It was absolutely beautiful. Maggie, Emad & their staff were so organized & professional. Maggie was my right hand all day long. She thought of everything!! Literally nothing went wrong! The food was amazing! We got a ton of compliments. The bar staff was quick & my husband & I never went without a drink in our hand. If I could give TOG more than 5 stars, I would. Absolutely amazing venue & people! Book TOG, you won’t regret it!
Our experience was Great! The staff was on the ball and kept everything running smoothly. The venue was set up perfectly and looked beautiful. The food was outstanding and the views were stunning! The only dilemma we ran into was that the elevator automatically kept taking guests to the second floor which is the bridal suit instead of the rooftop so a few guests saw the Bride before hand. Other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would recommend this venue for any type of event!
The Terrace on Grand is a wonderful venue and we are extremely happy that we chose to get married and celebrate at such a beautiful space. Not only are the rooftop and venue amazing, the support you will get from Maggie and Emad is remarkable. Starting with our first venue walk-through, the food tasting, and the countless emails back and forth leading up to the big day, they accommodated everything we asked of them. Once the weekend arrived, we got lucky with the weather, but everything else from the rehearsal walk-through, to the ceremony and reception went so well because of the effort Maggie and Emad put in to ensure it would! The food was amazing, we particularly enjoyed our Mac N Cheese bar. The staff was excellent and friendly and we've heard from countless guest that this was the most smoothly run and the best wedding they've ever been to and we have to agree!
Terrace on Grand is by far the best wedding venue in KC! With rooftop views, stellar staff, a beautiful reception area, and the most experienced coordinators, Terrace on Grand provided everything we wanted and more on our big day. Maggie and Emad were so committed to making our day perfect and didn’t miss a beat when it came to making sure it went smoothly. From getting ready to the ceremony to the last dance, either Maggie or Emad were there to make sure everything and everyone was right where they should be. They responded to emails and questions in a timely manner, and went over every detail with us – even things I never thought about. We used them for our catering as well, and their food is fantastic! We did have a hiccup with parking (guests received tickets even when they were parked in the correct space), but the venue collected the tickets and took care of it with the city! We received so many comments about how fun our wedding, and I think a large part of that was because of the venue and their fantastic service!
Terrace on Grand helped make our dream day come true. Emad and Maggie both were easy to work with. They responded to emails quickly and had great vendor suggestions. At the wedding, they were by my husband and I’s side the entire time making sure that we didn’t need anything. I loved the fact that they setup and break everything down. Not having to worry about that and just being able to focus on the day was so nice.
Everything was perfect! Emad & Maggie were so great to work with, and super accessible both before the wedding, and the day of. I felt like I didn't even have to lift a finger to make sure everything went off without a hitch. I appreciated that everything was taken care of on-site, which made everything so easy and stress-free on my end. The food was incredible, drinks were perfect, the atmosphere was (as always) romantic & fun. They even helped us make sure we were able to have the KU game on during the reception.
We have zero complaints, and highly recommend this venue to anyone for any event. Worth every penny. <3
Fantastic venue, and Maggie and Emad were the absolute BEST to work with. Before the event, we had no issues getting the decor we wanted setup and having access to plan things out.
During our big day, they kept things rolling on schedule and made sure that we were completely at ease with ZERO worries!
The newly renovated rooftop was a beautiful backdrop for our wedding, and the 3rd floor looked amazing for the reception.
The food was amazing (with many selections to choose our menu from). Maggie and Emad work great together - we've never seen such a cohesive team. We highly recommend using this venue if you want a beautiful downtown location for your celebration! Thank you so much Emad and Maggie!
Being an out of town bride I put a lot of trust in Emad and Maggie, and they exceeded all my expectations!!! TOG had everything we were looking for and all the support we needed. Days after our wedding my husband was still talking about how impressed he was with every detail, from the beauty of the venue to the attentiveness of the staff. We were extremely happy with our decision to choose TOG as our reception vendor and beyond grateful for all the hard work, accommodation, attention to detail, and hospitality that went into making our wedding day so special!
My husband and I could not properly articulate how perfect our wedding day was, thanks to the Terrace on Grand. We got married on June 9th and were incredibly impressed with Emad and Maggie’s level of amazing customer service. If you are trying not to stress on your big day, the Terrace on Grand is the perfect venue. Emad and Maggie were there for us to answer every question we had before and during our big day. Everything all day ran so smoothly, there was not a single moment where my husband and I felt like things were going wrong. At one point, I casually mentioned to a groomsman that I wished I had more egg rolls, and within a minute Emad had more egg rolls brought to me. The food was amazing, and we were actually able to eat it thanks to the efforts of Emad and Maggie. They were even pros at wrangling our chatty bridesmaids and groomsman at a moment’s notice. My husband is a big fan of craft beer, and was not all that excited about having a domestic offered. On our wedding day, they let us know that instead of serving a domestic, they replaced it with a craft beer from Crane Brewing. They truly listened to what we wanted, and their attention to detail was superb. We would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone!
TTOG is a beautiful full service venue with a bridal room, main reception floor with a full bar, and a rooftop overlooking Kansas City. They also have a décor closet with leftover centerpieces, sequin runners, etc. that you can use, which saved us a lot of money! The food is AMAZING. We went with a 3 protein buffet (rotisserie chicken, roast beef carving station, salmon) with salad, rolls, and 2 sides. It was AMAZING-- easily the best wedding food I’ve ever had. Another bonus with TTOG is that they offer two day-of coordinators, which I couldn’t have appreciated more. A few weeks before the wedding, we met with Emad to set a timeline for the night so that everything moved along smoothly as the night progressed. I dropped all my décor off (and a list of the ones I wanted to use from their supply) the week of the wedding, and they do all of the set up and tear down for us! Everything looked perfect the night of. We don’t have a single complaint about the venue, Emad or Maggie, or the bar/serving staff. If anything went wrong, Emad or Maggie took care of it and we didn’t notice a thing! For the price, they offered a lot more than any other venues downtown that we looked at, and came in at our projected budget. I cannot say enough nice things about TTOG and would 100% recommend them to another couple.
The venue is GORGEOUS, the staff is superb, and our day was absolutely perfect. Emad did so much to make sure our day was exactly as we wanted it to be (and MORE!). I couldn't have asked for a better place.
Be sure to try the jerk chicken at the tasting - my husband was dreaming about it for weeks!
My daughter's wedding was everything she wanted it to be; Emad, Maggie, and all their staff pulled off this event flawlessly. The food was superb, the wait staff was so professional and the timing perfect. When the staff working behind the scenes can make so much happen so unobtrusively you know you picked the right venue! The decor was stunning, the table settings elegant and the rooftop at sunset sublime. Every time I run into friends or family that were lucky enough to attend they exclaim over how much fun they had and how impressed they were with the ambiance of this venue. The little details I would have botched or forgotten entirely were taken care of as part of our package. It was perfect. Thank you, Emad and Maggie!
The Terrace on Grand was the perfect venue for our wedding reception. The event space is gorgeous and there was plenty of room for all 175 of our guests. The views of the city from the rooftop are spectacular. The food tasted great and the bar service was on point all night. The price was very reasonable and was exactly what was promised up front. What really sets the Terrace on Grand apart, however, is the personal service. Emad and Maggie went above and beyond in seeing to everything going perfectly. They took so much pressure and stress off us as we prepared for the night and worked so hard at making sure the evening ran smoothly that we cannot thank them enough. 10/10 would definitely recommend.
I cannot say enough how much I love this venue. It was absolutely perfect for our wedding and Emad and Maggie took care of us and all the details. I did not have to worry about one thing, which was the best feeling ever. On top of that, the food was FANTASTIC. We continue to receive compliments on food and choice of venue. Lastly, Emad and Maggie made sure the entire place was set up beautifully and it was better than I could have imagined- it was honestly stress free! I looked at multiple venues and this was hands down, the most perfect choice. Not to mention, we got great Wedding pics on the roof with Downtown KC in the background. Hats off to Emad, Maggie, the head chef, and all the staff for making our day better than we imagined!
Hospitality is the first word that comes to mind when thinking about The Terrace on Grand and their wonderful staff. They were very welcoming and easy to work with since our first meeting but the night of our wedding was when their hospitality really shined through. The moment I walked into the venue on my wedding night I was greeted by the doorman and escorted up to the bridal suite. My wedding party and I were well taken care of and made comfortable while waiting for our grand entrance. Emad, the event coordinator that evening, was constantly checking on my husband and I, making sure we had water, wine, whatever we needed. He even created a little barricade during dinner to ensure we were able to eat a little something before being bombarded by wedding guests! Prior to the big event, Emad and Maggie were in frequent contact with myself and my husband. They were very patient with us as we had many big decisions to make and had to schedule meetings far in advance to make sure my mother, who lives 3 hours away, could be there. They made every step of the planning process easy and helped to ease some of my stress and anxiety related to the big day. Our absolute favorite part of the venue was the terrace where we were able to have cocktail hour. Beautiful! Also, they set up and took down all of our decorations and had a basement full of beautiful decorations left from previous brides to choose from if we wanted! I can't say enough wonderful things about this beautiful venue and the people who work there. I want to get married again just to use the venue (my husband says absolutely no ;) ). Thank you Terrace on Grand for making our wedding amazing and unforgettable!
The Terrace on Grand was ABSOLUTELY amazing! The venue itself was beautiful! We had our wedding on the rooftop on September 30th. The weather was perfect and everyone was very comfortable outside. Inside, the staff really dressed it up nicely. I was very proud of how it turned out and couldn't wait for everyone to show up and see the place.
The real shining factor was the staff itself. Emad and Maggie were incredible and really took care of us. They are very polite and personable people and really made the entire experience wonderful. They helped with so much it's impossible to write it all out. They were both there during the reception and ceremony and helped with every step of the way. Emad actually stood behind my wife and I while we were eating so we had a moment to enjoy the food.
And let me tell you, the food was amazing! We had bbq brisket and grilled/baked (I forgot which one) chicken. Everyone said the food was really good. Personally, if they opened up a restaurant with their food, I would be a regular.
The bartender was also very nice and took special care of me (The Groom) when I told her I like whiskey drinks.
I honestly didn't hear one person complain or speak negatively about the venue. Everyone loved it and I don't think things would have gone as smoothly without Maggie and Emad helping us all the way through.
Also, a quick tip if you're thinking about going here for your wedding: LISTEN TO THEM! They've been doing this for years and know how everything works. They have recommended vendors for cakes and DJ's and I highly recommend you consider theirs first.
Thank you, Maggie and Emad for making our day the best day of our lives!
Outstanding Venue, Amazing Food, Attentive Staff and Management, Very Detail Oriented and Excellent Customer Service.
I have been a caterer for over 30 years and was trusted to serve many dignitaries during my career. I found it extremely difficult to trust anyone to take care of my daughter wedding reception.
After speaking to many venues we were lucky to find Terrace on Grand. Emad and Maggie were accommodating, straight forward and gave us an all inclusive price with no hidden costs.
Emad and Maggie and their wonderful staff exceeded my expectations. The chef was tremendous, every menu item was delicious from the salad to the carved roast beef.
I arrived and all was in place and the room looked amazing. Maggie handed me a drink and I was ready to enjoy the evening and I definitely did and so did our guests.
I would highly recommend them for any event that you may consider. They are thorough, know the value of customer service and will make every effort to accommodate your needs.
I can't Thank You enough for making my daughters wedding reception a night to remember.
YOU ARE IMPRESSIVE!
My husband and I just got married at Terrace on Grand on 9/16/17, and we can't say enough positive things about our experience leading up to the big day, as well as our actual wedding day. Emad and Maggie were both so incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout the planning process, and did everything they could to make sure we would be more than satisfied (especially myself, the bride). They made note of every special request I had during each meeting, and they made it happen. They even remembered exactly how I liked my salad and my favorite dressing, and made me my own personal salad for our wedding night. They did all the big things right, but the little things like that really stood out to me the most. The staff was amazing on the night of our wedding, and the food was delicious. The rooftop was the most beautiful setting for our ceremony, and was exactly what I had imagined. Luckily the rain held off until right after. ;)
Maggie contacted all of my vendors the week of our wedding to coordinate drop off/pick up times, which saved me so much time and stress during that final week. If anything went wrong behind the scenes, I didn't know about it because they took care of everything, and it all came together perfectly in the end. When they tell you that you do not need a wedding coordinator (especially for the day of), they are not kidding. Maggie and Emad know exactly what they are doing and have so much experience in this venue, so no one else would be able to execute it as well as they can. Not needing a wedding coordinator saved us a lot of money, which was important to me. As a bride, you have a lot of responsibility and to-do's leading up to the wedding, and sometimes you want an answer right away. That was never a problem at Terrace on Grand. If I sent an email to either Emad or Maggie, I got a response almost immediately. Maggie in particular helped with our rehearsal and our actual wedding day and I can't thank her enough for making sure my day was perfect. It was an absolute dream and I wish I could relive it over and over! Thank you so much to Maggie, Emad and the entire staff at TOG that make bride's dreams come true. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful venue in the Kansas City area.
This place is incredible. They really exceeded all of our expectations. Emad and Maggie were so accomodating to everything that we wanted to accomplish. We wanted a fun and slightly non-traditional wedding and they made sure everything was perfect. When we had our final planning meeting with Maggie and our DJ, I got a little overwhelmed and stressed. Maggie was quick to send a reassuring email as soon as we left letting me know that they were going to make sure the day was perfect and not to worry.
Emad led our rehearsal and wow, everyone in our families and the wedding party kept talking about how organized and on top of it he was. He did such a great job making sure the ceremony was going to be flawless for us and exactly what we wanted.
Since there wasn’t a wedding the Friday night before our wedding, we got to go in on Thursday and start setting up decorations. It was nice to have that extra time because our Friday was hectic and we would have really been struggling for that time on Friday or Saturday.
And decorations, oh my gosh, they have this awesome inventory in the basement of any vase/bowl you could imagine, spray painted wine bottles, table numbers, cake stands, tea light candle holders, charges (gold or silver), mirror centerpieces, table runners (sequined ones even), all at your disposal. It was incredible knowing that really we just had to bring in the flowers and a couple odd and end special pieces that we wanted but the rest of it we didn’t have to worry about, we just set out everything we wanted to use that Thursday before.
We had our ceremony on the rooftop, a short social hour between the ceremony and the reception downstairs and then we made our grand entrance. Passed appetizers were amazing and our guests raved about the mac and cheese bar (we didn’t do a traditional buffet or sit down dinner). As for the bar, they were awesome at tracking down all of the local wine that we wanted at the wedding and they were accomodating to a couple specific liquor requests we wanted (most were upgrades and required extra cost but it was worth it for us). They even accomodated us having an ice luge that they poured blue margaritas down - it was awesome!
Everything was completely organized, down to Emad walking our officiant (my cousin) through how to fill our the marriage license, to literally guarding our sweetheart table after our grand entrance to make sure we ate! They brought food and drink to our table so we didn’t have to worry about a thing.
They coordinated the sparkler send off and even gave us a to-go box of food. It was awesome.
Seriously, Emad & Maggie were incredible, the food was incredible, everything about this place was amazing. If you’re hesitating for a second booking this place, just book it already!!
I had my wedding at Terrace on Grand on 8/4/2017, and now I understand where all these awesome reviews are coming from. I was blown away by EVERYTHING to say the least. The rooftop had a beautiful view of Kansas City (my heart!), which gave us a stunning ceremony just by itself. The reception hall was gorgeous (it looks even better than the pictures!) with white brick, wooden floors, stringed lights all around, and an awesome bar. Not to mention, the Terrace on Grand makes it very easy to have an open bar wedding if you chose to do so. Everyone raved about the rooftop view, the reception, THE FOOD, and especially how amazing Maggie and Emad were. If anything, that is what my family and even my friends have continued to rave about- I'm not kidding, we all still talk about how Maggie and Emad were god sent, and how amazing they were throughout the entire process. They went more than out of their way to make everything perfect- from answering every email/phone call right away, to helping me coordinate the entire rehearsal, helping me calm my nerves, and making sure every minute of the wedding day went perfect. It's so obvious that they truly care about you and your special day, and everyone was able to see it.
On top of it all, TOG is only a 4 minute walk from P&L, and my friends/family LOVED being able to go out after the reception ended to keep the party going. I got to ride the mechanical bull at PBR in my wedding dress and who can say that they did that on their wedding day?! If I had to do it again and I could chose from any venue in all of KC, I would without a doubt pick TOG.
Choosing the right venue for my wedding was the most critical piece of why I had the best day of my life. Emad and Maggie had every detail planned out seamlessly. Everyone at my wedding was SO impressed with how well Emad coordinated the evening and how beautiful everything was. Having the ceremony and reception at the same location took the hassle of driving from our guests, letting them relax all evening. They took all stress off of the day and even helped me to dodge a huge last minute vendor issue so that I did not have to worry. I recommend TOG as the best wedding venue BY FAR in Kansas City after talking to and interacting with other venues. They did not come close to the professionalism of TOG. Our friends and family will always remember how perfect our night was due to choosing TOG! Thank you Emad and Maggie!
I want to give a shout out to The Terrace on Grand - especially to Emad & Maggie. My daughter's fairy tale wedding was Sunday and Emad's orchestration was unbelievable. We had one problem with a vendor which was corrected immediately by Emad. The weather was great and the Kansas City skyline looked like a movie set. Our guests were wowed with the beautiful reception hall and the food. I cannot say enough about all the staff and their attention to detail. Emad & Maggie made it easy and relaxing. We so appreciated being able to enjoy the evening without any stress. Thank you so much!
