Theis Park is located near the Nelson Atkin Museum. Plenty of lawn space for picnic and outdoor activities. Down the hills lays a stream of water. I happens to be attending a Water Lantern Festival here. We floated our lantern down the stream and laminated the night. It was a fun evening enjoying the outdoor.

It really relies on the Nelson as a backdrop and expansive green space to carve it's niche as a nice park in KC.

Loose Mansion

Loose Mansion

Loose Mansion is the former home of one of the Sunshine Biscuit founders. Being from out of town, I…read morewas completely unaware of the space or family. The mansion become one of our things to do while in the area. Our visit to this historic home was due to a wedding. The ground floor was elegantly decorated. Lots of soft candle light. Rich wood gives the space a regal feel. Along with weddings, this would be a fantastic venue for a roaring 20's party. Two additional floors are located upstairs. The middle floor is primarily where the wedding parties ready themselves/wait. That floor is less formal. In the space are some pieces of memorabilia from the Sunshine company. Included are some rather ornate cracker tins. The top floor has a ballroom. Ballroom also has space for a bar. This is another refined space. Between the wedding ceremony and dinner, guests were sent to the basement for hors d'oeuvres and drinks. The basement has a different vibe. Murals of old time towns adorn the walls. The seating area almost has a wine tasting vibe. A brochure available for guests as a scavenger hunt in it. This brochure includes information about the mansion being haunted. My children were also convince that there were secret passageways in the house. They never discovered any. Who know, maybe you will.

First of all, when the client contacted me and asked me to help with her daughter's wedding, I…read morereadily agreed. The Loose Mansion managers, Abbey and Loren, seemed to have an attitude issue. I wanted the wedding event to be just as memorable for the client as they... but they seemed to want to make things unnecessarily difficult. When I arrived at the scheduled time, neither Abbey nor Loren were there. No one else knew anything about any of the A/V equipment that Loose Mansion provides. Awhile later, Loren arrived. I introduced myself and was as pleasant as I could possibly be. Again, I received a "not so warm" reception. There was just a prevailing attitude of arrogance, entitlement and an unfriendliness. Because Loose Mansion was providing the video projector for the event, I asked Loren if we could plug my computer into the projector prior to the arrival of guests to make sure everything operated correctly. She told me that she probably wouldn't have time to allow me to test the hook-up because she was "so busy". I thought to myself "had you arrived at the time we had agreed upon, perhaps you would have had time to check important components like making sure the A/V would work." I was told that I would need to bring my own sound system and mics because they don't allow any "outsiders" to touch their equipment. So I came prepared with speakers, speaker stands, mixer, mics, and audio playback. As I was setting up the computer, I couldn't get the "Loose Mansion" WiFi network to work. I said something to Loren and she told me that I would have to connect to the "office network". The WiFi network was so ridiculously slow that no webpage would even load up. I thought that something must be wrong... so I connected to the network with my phone to check the speed there. Again, practically non-existent speed... so bad that nothing would work (see the screen caps from both my computer and my phone). I was afraid to say anything to Loren or ask her to reset her router for fear that I'd get another harsh response. So I just set up my own hotspot and used that. I finally did mention it to Loren and she said "Yes, it's very slow... we just tell people to download everything they need in advance." It seems ridiculous that a professional "event space" facility would have WiFi that is virtually of no use whatsoever. As the set-up for this very nice wedding event proceeded, I noticed that Loren was wearing a black skirt for the event, but with old green sneakers. I thought that she was just wearing these old green sneakers because they were comfortable during the set-up process, but surely she'd change into something more presentable for the wedding once guests started to arrive. Wrong! Later during the event, I overheard one guest mention her appearance to another guest... they were also surprised that management would allow an onsite manager to dress like this for a client's wedding event. They forgot to turn on the speakers for the ceremony, so if you were sitting in the room used for the ceremony, it sounded like all of the sound/music was coming from the room behind you (there were speakers in other rooms of the house). After the ceremony, as guests went for cocktails, we started to set up our gear for the after-dinner event. The "unused" Loose Mansion speakers were still sitting on the small stage... and when I asked Loren if we could move them aside so we could have room for our speakers, she said "No, we'll leave them right where they are!" Unbelievable! Another thing noticed was the fact that in order to lower the projection screen from the ceiling mount, Loren had to get a tall staffer who stood on top of a bucket or something and then used a plastic coat hanger to try to reach the bottom of the screen and pull it down. Tacky! My review is directed to other vendors/event planners. I've never had to deal with event space management who was NOT a team-player with the goal of wanting to create a stellar event by working TOGETHER with vendors. Instead, there was noticeable resistance. It's really too bad!

This place is perfect for any kind of venue, parking is another story though. It's located in the…read moreWest Bottoms and it has that vintage look if you're looking something like that. I enjoyed the rustic, brick look. Had an event here and there was catering with food and bars. It's spacious enough for a large crowd. The third floor is much more spacious than the first floor. You can party, dance, hold a conference or whatnot.

Our daughter's wedding reception was at the Oliver Building on a gorgeous October evening. I do…read morenot have the words to express how amazing this venue is from start to finish! We looked at over a dozen venues in the Kansas City area and just knew from the moment we walked in that this was THE space. It is truly a Kansas City gem with wood flooring, high beams with Edison bulbs, brick walls, and beautiful staircases. A huge standout for us was they only have one event per weekend, so we had the space from Friday (when we moved all of our necessities in) to 4:00 on Sunday ( when we moved back out). The wedding party truly enjoyed preparing with hair, make-up, and wardrobe on the gorgeous third floor, the cocktail hour was on the first level, and dinner and dance were on the second level. Everything was perfect. When you book the Oliver, you get the peace of mind of the owner Steve and the event coordinator Caitlin. We met with Caitlin on multiple occasions and she was amazing. They have a great bartending staff, parking attendants, and security guards, and a great working rapport with many local vendors. If I had to touch on any drawbacks, it would just be the gravel parking lots, which can be a bit of a challenge with ladies in heels or elderly persons. We were a little concerned with it being haunted house season but this was not an issue at all. Overall, we could not be more thrilled with our experience and I would give it more stars if I could! An absolute ten out of ten!
