10 Kansas City Wedding Venues I Love
Planning your big day in Kansas City means you get to choose from some of the most design-forward wedding venues in the Midwest. As a Kansas City wedding planner, I’ve had the joy of guiding couples through many of these spaces and helping them understand what makes a venue truly shine on a wedding day. That firsthand perspective is exactly why I created this guide.
These Kansas City wedding venues are not just beautiful; they’re places I love, trust, and confidently recommend to my couples who want a celebration that feels intentional, elevated, and uniquely theirs.
Whether you’re dreaming of a modern downtown rooftop, a luxurious estate-style retreat, or an iconic KC landmark filled with history, I curated this list as a starting point to help you find the perfect fit.

Hotel Kansas City is one of those rare wedding venues in Kansas City that feels effortlessly elegant from the moment you walk in.
Set inside the historic Kansas City Club building, it blends century-old character with modern sophistication in a way few downtown hotels can match. From the expansive Tudor Ballroom to the skyline views in the Starlight Ballroom, every space offers rich architectural detail and endless design potential for a truly iconic celebration.
The hotel’s culinary team also delivers an exceptional dining experience, and with room blocks and Nighthawk available for after-parties, it’s easy for your entire wedding weekend to unfold in one place.

What I love about Hotel Kansas City
As a planner, I appreciate how smoothly the venue transitions from one moment of the day to the next. You might exchange vows beneath the stained-glass murals in the Tudor Ballroom, then lead guests upstairs to the 15th-floor terrace for cocktails as the city lights come alive.
