Not handicapped accessible or workable for grandparents or other older relatives. No elevator and they have not added a foldable chair lift for the considerable stairs, so there was really no way to get around the space smoothly for a crowd. Unfortunate, because the setting is pretty. (If they update accessibility, we will come back to revise this review).

I was supposed to be married at Cellar 222 in August. My fiancé died by suicide a month before our…read morewedding. When I reached out to the venue they refused to refund anything. No sympathy, no empathy. Cellar 222 cared more about keeping my money than even showing the smallest act of compassion. I'll never forget how cold and transactional they were during the worst moment of my life. Choose a venue with a heart, not this one.

All the food served was cold, however.

TTOG is a beautiful full service venue with a bridal room, main reception floor with a full bar,…read moreand 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 decor 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.

It was good to finally attend an event here. This event space was spacious enough to fit 20+ tables and they also had a large multi tiered crystal chandelier featuring numerous candle lights.

There was plenty of space for hundreds of us, and yet it never felt crowded. They pulled off the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and the after-party seamlessly. The rooftop and well-placed bars made everything flow effortlessly. At no point did we feel rushed, overwhelmed, or stuck waiting around--which is rare at big events. It was an incredibly fun night. If I ever had a large event to plan, The Abbott would be high on my list.

I am a family member that rented Wynbrick Mansion on Jun 29 for a baby shower. The inside is…read morebeautiful and the staff was very cordial and great to work with. THEY EVEN TOLD US MULTIPLE TIMES HOW NICE WE WERE TO WORK WITH. We also let them know how we appreciated their kindness. In reference to the reviews on various social media sites submitted by the owner, Sherri Stechmann on behalf of Wynbrick Mansion, the following review is related to our experience at Wynbrick Mansion, BASED ON FACT. It can also be backed up with the owner's video and our pictures and text messages which are included. (UPDATE: Yelp has removed her review however the information below still applies as she has placed slanderous statements on other social media sites) Facts below: Fact: Brianna Hernandez Marx did have a baby shower at Wynbrick Mansion on Saturday, Jun 29. Fact: The family arrived at the Wynbrick Mansion at 11:47, which is documented on timestamps and video of the owner. Fact: The outside of the facility was a complete mess, with yard waste all over the lot, a trailer of yard debris taking up parking spaces, a black type that guests had to step over, and a large pile of mulch outside the entrance. Fact: The family asked a male employee, at 11:50, to sweep the front entrance to look better for guest and ensure nothing was tracked in to the house. Fact: The male employee simply placed a broom on the front porch and inferred the customer should sweep. Fact: A family member did ask for the owners phone number and left a message for a return phone call. After that, he was busy helping us set up that he was unable to answer her phone call. Fact: At 12:00, when the family was allowed to enter, a male and female employee were standing inside the door. Upon entering, a family member stated to the male employee his disappointment with the condition of the outside of the facility and the fact he handed a broom to the customer to sweep. Note: The owner has continued to reference comments made to an "18 YO Latina women/employee" however she left a voicemail at 12:11 and text message at 12:30 stating her concern with someone asking the male (son) about the broom - not getting in anyone's personal space. Fact: The contracted family and many of the guests were hispanic. At no time, and all public posts and text messages will confirm, that no one stated the facility or owner was a racist. In fact, if you review all posts, you will see Sherri and the Wynbrick Mansion used the word first and all reference to "racist" actions. Fact: No adult, to include anyone associated with the contract and/or payment made comments about "suing" Sherri or the Wynbrick Mansion. Fact: At no time did the family ever ask for a discount. Fact: During the event, a guest did pass out due to the fact it was hot outside and inside the sunroom. Note: That as simply stated in a post from the mother-to-be in which Sherri immediately discounted the statement and stated it was fake. Fact: The family was aware that Sherri had a death in the family, prior to the second showing, and actually sent a faithful and sincere condolence to her though a text message. Fact: At no time, did Sherri or the Wynbrick Mansion offer an apology or any willingness to assist in resolving the concerns. For anyone reading the posts, you will see an extremely negative attack on the mom-to-be and the family who hosted the party. The owner has sent a text message to a family member stating she is telling new customers about all her slanderous statement. Unfortunately, the owner should've really watched her own video before she started her misrepresentation of the family - her customer. Please check the Photo section of the Wynbrick Mansion review for pictures to validate the facts above.

The Simpson House is nothing short of gorgeous. It was honestly the picture perfect spot for my…read moresister's wedding, and I'm so glad she chose this venue. Everything from the landscaping to the decor was old school Kansas City in the best way possible and it made not only for an elegant backdrop to her perfect day, but also the large patio, backyard, and beautiful interior was ideal for the party itself, giving folks a chance to spread out, enjoy the spring weather, dance, and socialize into the night. I'm only taking away a star because in the bridal suite where we all were getting ready the bathroom door kept getting stuck and the doorknobs would fall off. There was tape affixed to I think keep this from happening, but it kept latching anyways and at one point my six year old got trapped in there for a good while until we could finagle the door open to get her out. I'd say fix that door and it's an easy 5/5. You honestly can't go wrong choosing to host your event here.
