Extremely Disappointed - False Advertising…read more I attended the Vampire Supper Club last week and was shocked at how misleading the event was. The ads featured beautifully curated food and drinks, but what we got was microwaved meals from a bag and terrible drinks. It felt more like a lazy cash grab than a themed experience. I paid for a quality night out and ended up with something that looked (and tasted) like it came from a gas station microwave. This was completely false advertising and not worth the ticket price. Save your money -- I won't be attending anything from this group again.

Richard, Martin, I'm not sure where to start except with thank you. Planning a wedding leaves you…read morein a position of having a lot of problems to solve, a lot of new relationships to build, and a lot of putting your faith in strangers hoping that they'll deliver on what they promised. You both, but mostly you Martin :), exceeded my hopes and expectations beyond what I could have imagined. In my opinion, music can claim responsibility for at least 80% of any successful wedding. We've all been to the weddings that are beautiful. The ceremony is short. The booze is flowing freely, even the bride's long-winded father has managed to pull off an entertaining speech, and then the music starts. Sure hearing "Celebrate good time come on" blare from the speaker seems like a bad start, but you have faith. This wedding has been too good. The couple thought of every little detail. Surely this wedding will get better. And then it doesn't. People abandon the dance floor with the same level of disinterest that the DJ employed when he downloaded "Best Wedding Playlists of 2016," hit play on his MacBook, and started swiping right on the phone he conveniently placed on the unplugged turntables he brought for show...or at least that's how it seems. Martin, I can confidently say that you were the MVP of John's and my wedding. When I say this I mean, it would have been a worse wedding had you not been there. Your actions, professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to do whatever it took to deliver on your promise, made our wedding incredible. It's not JUST that you played amazing music that kept people on the dance floor all night long and offered to play the bad guy when our no play list songs were requested, that's the work of a good DJ. You are a super DJ. You single-handedly managed the evening, moving us from one event to the next because as you correctly assumed, we needed the help. But what makes what you did so important, is that you did it all behind the scenes. The night moved seamlessly because of you, people danced until they were breathless because of you, you are responsible for the environment of fun that led friends of mine (mostly in their thirties, who have attended no less than 15 weddings each) to proclaim, "This was LITERALLY, the most fun wedding I've ever been to." If I've taken anything away from my experience as a bride on a budget planning her wedding it's that if you know your priorities (mine: music, photography, food, in that order) and you find experts who know the game, you're in for an amazing wedding experience. Thank you thank you thank you from what I imagine must be some of your most satisfied customers. Richard, you're lucky to have this guy. Martin, thanks for going above the call for us. I hope my elaborate email response/review did your work justice.

That could be any fantastic blur of nightlife in the city. Oh well. You'll have to take my word for it. This place is gorgeous. Believe! I attended an event here the other evening and was really impressed with this event space. If I weren't leaving KC, I'd be on the line with them right now about setting something up for the near future. If you like spaces that wonderfully retain the spirit of KC's jazz age past, this is the venue for you. I can see anything from a really fabulous fashion show to a retro big band party to glamorous wedding taking place here. The only potential thing to note is that sound would need to be checked if you want to have live music. I have a strong feeling live jazz would be most appropriate here... rock & roll, not so much (duh). And that's totally fine by me, seeing as sometimes I pretend I'm existing in 1928 anyway.

Warning: LONG review. I truly cannot say enough good things!…read more Michael did a wonderful job coordinating, planning and DJing my April 2014 wedding reception. Yes, he played music, but even more, he performed the role as our reception coordinator. Like many brides, I originally thought that I needed to hire someone who could just play music. After seeing many positive reviews of Michael's services online, my fiance' Justin and I met with him in person. During our meeting, we realized that Michael was the real deal and that we needed to work with him. Michael explained how he would do much more than just play music -- he would help with planning the reception events with us, he would routinely meet with us throughout the whole planning process, he'd make sure the flow of the entire event made sense, etc. And he did exactly that! We Skyped with Michael on one occasion and also met in person on a few occasions. We also met at our reception site with Michael so he could plan out the event details, the location of the grand entrance, etc. Throughout our planning, Michael also was very prompt to respond via email whenever I reached out with questions, ideas and concerns. Michael told us time and time again that our job as the couple was to just enjoy our reception; his job was to make sure that it ran smoothly. And Michael kept that promise. Justin and I danced, mingled, enjoyed our food, and had a wonderful time at our reception. We never had any question about what's next, where do we go, aren't we supposed to cut the cake at some point? When we needed to perform a specific task at our reception, Michael found us and briefly gave us a reminder. On the music side of things, our dance floor was crowded the entire night. Of course as the bride and groom, we were busy talking with so many people, so we were not on the dance floor too much. Following up with one of the bridesmaids next day, she said, "I was on the dance floor the whole night!" Michael's planning and organization services combined with his DJ expertise was worth every penny. I would absolutely recommend him to any bride and groom looking for a DJ -- and then some. We will forever be grateful for the contribution he made and the hard work he put in on our very special day.

She made it so easy to fall in love with the venue! So many great indoor and outdoor picture opportunities along with lots of spaces to get ready! I would say the venue only comfortably holds about 100 guests though! You can book for up to 175 but it would be pretty tight! We did have one issue with a wedding card being opened and then returned to a new spot (most likely because it was a check and not cash) by someone working at the venue - but this was most likely not the 8th and main staff! Would highly recommend!

I recently went to a wedding at 8th & Main. The space is beautiful, but the layout is funky…read more There is the first room, the vault room. It just has a cool vault door. This room is on the smaller side. You could have a small ceremony or a few round tables in it. Then there are 2 small hallways on either side of the vault room that lead to the back room which is bigger. The hallways are kind of annoying. They have the men's restroom in 1 hallway and then on the other side, is the women's. It was annoying because it wasn't well marked and it was easy to forget which side was which. The back patio is nice. It's a decently sized patio. It has fake put-put golf grass. I can't decide how I feel about that. Overall I wasn't overly impressed with the space. I believe the bride said it was $4k to rent it on a Saturday, but you could choose your own vendors. Since the location is in tiny little Grandview and not KC, I think that seems a tad steep.
