They have really nice string lights and there's plenty of space in the venue. The bathrooms are big but there's only 2. So there was always a line for the bathrooms. Usually there's more at venues. Like at least 6. The thing is, the parking is terrible. And it's downtown. We had to park behind the building in the parking lot by Lydia's. And then walk up a bunch of steps. Not too far of a walk but the location isn't the best.

I'm only giving it ONE star because I couldn't give it 0! My bestfriend got married this weekend &…read morewe used this venue. From the very beginning It was spotty communication between the owner & my friend. My friend paid so much mo and signed the contract to have her wedding there. We thought everything was going great until 2 nights before. Friday night (9/16/2022) we had rehearsal dinner at this venue for only like an hour. Upon arriving the door was locked & so we all waited for the owner to open the door. She finally came & greeted us & led us upstairs to where we would practice. We only practiced Friday because there was going to be another wedding Saturday. Anyways, so we are practicing & the owner is smiling at us while practicing. Our hour is up & we all go down the elevator to the front door & leave, very satisfied & happy because we are almost to the altar!!!! A couple hours later, we get a call from the owner stating that her car was broken into & It had to be someone from our wedding party & that the wedding was off until it got resolved. Now everyone lets pause & go over some facts. 1) we all walked out together, waving at her as we left. 2) we had reservations to places that night & all parked in front of the building. 3) we didn't know what car she drove as she was there before us. 4) our wedding party was fully black. Now I hate to throw racism into the mix, but we were definitely racially profiled. How come our wedding party was targeted? Its downtown & she left a purse on the front seat.. that's privilege to even think you could do that in downtown KC! Long story short & a alot of tears later, they finally check security footage of places her card got swiped & what do you think they found? A white man. Walking away with her purse & swiping her card at numerous locations Including the liquor store. We had the wedding there because the attorney said the contract was locked in.. but do you think we ever got an apology? No. Moreso a story on how the owners life partner of 6 years is black. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

The facility gives off a great first impression, so we rented for bridal shower. After arriving to set up on the day of our event, we found a very filthy facility. There was an event the night prior, and cleaning had not been done between events as we were led to believe. The manager was actually mopping the floors as we arrived, and the whole building had a damp musty odor that lingered all day. The carpet was covered in stains. There was dried food on the walls, the chairs were covered in stains and soil and were obviously not wiped down from event to event. One chair looked like soda had been spilled and left on it to dry. The handicapped bathroom door would not close and shut, and had to be slammed or kept close with your foot. There were no signs to direct or make awareness of another public restroom around the corner, hidden from view, and was overlooked by some of our attendees. The kitchen appliances had not been cleaned in months, if ever. The refrigerator was covered in dried crusty food stains, beverage stains and human hair. It took 8 people 2 hours to clean and stage the facility for our event, seriously no elaboration here. We started at 9 am for an 11:00 bridal shower. Upon complaining to the venue people after the event, we were accused of stealing entranceway door mat, which was found later by staff, who apparently had misplaced it when mopping the floor. The venue has potential to be a very awesome rental space, but is currently under poor management who think sweeping and mopping floors between events is sufficient. This place needs a routinely scheduled hard deep cleaning. There are nicer, cleaner event spaces out there, so my opinion is to take a pass on this one.

Martin City nails the small town vibe, and the Martin Event Space backs it up. It feels like the…read morekind of place for a small wedding reception outside the city. I've been here for a few events that are chef competitions, and it's the events have always been fun. The space itself is nice with parking all around, including some overflow in the nearby car wash. One time it was the middle of summer and the A/C was struggling in a big way, but largely because the event spilled outside so the doors were constantly coming open. It was easily 90 degrees in here. The past time was in mid-January, and it still felt like 90. Let's just say the furnace works better than the A/C. It's pretty basic with a little bar setup on one end, space for tables and to mill about, and then a little raised area on the opposite end which would be good for addressing a crowd. Not the most memorable or trendy event space, but a good overall spot if you're out in that end of town.

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!
