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.

Each room has its own personality and is perfect for setting up specific vibes. We had food and the cake in one room, bar area in another and a dance floor in the main fireplace room. We had the wedding ceremony outside under the tree which was perfect. We loved the rooms upstairs. Charles was great to communicate with even when we accidentally left with 3 of their tables. We would highly recommend this venue for your wedding.

But..... you have to experience it with a docent to get the full effect. If you poke around by yourself, it may seem unimpressive. There is a farmstead onsite, with a chicken coop. The staff searched the agricultural schedule in the 1920's census to determine what type of chicken was raised in this area during that time. Then they procured that breed! Historic, heirloom chickens! I would never have learned this just by moseying around by myself. So let the docents treat you to the incredible nuances at the museum. Before I left, I bought eggs, from the chickens with the impressive lineage. Also, follow their Facebook page for great community events. This is a happening place!

The museum part was absolutely amazing! My kids and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit here. The most…read moreunique thing I think this place has over lots of other historic places is the fact you actually get to touch and mess around with the antique items, which is basically unheard of at most historical places. The fact it is so hands on makes it such an incredible educational experience. The prices are very cheap for a 45m tour and deep explanation of the various buildings and items in those buildings. I wish more places were set up like this were kids can actually see, reenact, and learn about historic life. All the staff was very friendly and we really enjoyed our tour guide! This place is an absolute must if you love history and you want an amazing educational experience for your kids!

The DeLeon's were absolutely attentive to myself, my groom, our guests and our schedule for the entirety of our big night. They recommended their favorite officiant (Pastor Williams) and caterer (Katie's Catering) since they know them so well and they are familiar with how things work and you can't ask for much more than that when it comes to having an amazing team on your side working together to create the perfect night to remember. This lovely couple-run event space works hard to ensure they are in tune with your needs and even worked within our budget in a way no other venue has ever attempted to do. These people truly care about your experience even more than themselves and will go the extra mile to make sure it's everything you wanted it to be and more. They were with me every step of the way in terms of arranging meetings and planning the event - even to coordinating with the vendors so it takes a whole load of stress off the soon to be newly-weds. I even recall having a few short panic attacks to the months leading up to the day of the wedding and they phoned me to psyche me up and pep talk me out of my haze. If any of my friends are looking for a stunning wedding space (WITH THE RECEPTION ON SITE!!! A huge rarity these days!) I will always recommend this place to the moon and back.

I…read morewas booking 3-4 venues a day trying to find the one...I was even considering not having the wedding in KC because the venues didn't have that "WOW" factor. I pulled up to The DeLeon..before I got out of my car I called my fiancé and told him that I hadn't looked at the venue yet but I know this is THE ONE This brick building was a beauty. I've never seen a place so beautiful in my life. Jodie greeted me at the door for a tour and she was just as beautiful as her venue. As I looked around in every room with Every step I took I fell more and more in love with this place. The colors and all the decor the venue had were so me! I booked another tour the following week so my fiancé can have a look...We took the tour with Eric. Eric is a blast and his personality lights up the room. He's the type of person you can talk to for hours yet it feels like minutes. Good guy! My fiancé was so quiet I couldn't tell if he liked the venue I was getting worried. when the tour was complete and we were in the parking lot he looked at me and said this is the one I was beyond excited and it was time to start planning. I've never been married before and I felt so overwhelmed. Jodie and Eric were always available by phone, text, or email and I can honestly say without their help I couldn't have done this all. They directed me to the caterer, DJ Mike with Fernando productions, the photographer Jared Cook with JC photography, the florists, etc. I got the best of the best! Jodie and Eric helped with me the colors, the lighting, and table decor. Not one detail was missed and I seen it all come together on our wedding day of 2/22. I was blown away seeing all the final touches Jodie and Eric did. Candles were lit, rose petals were down, music filled the air and they did it with smiles on their faces and were ready to make my day one to remember. This place felt so alive and magical. They treated me like family. I felt so comfortable. I wish I can do it all over again and I wouldn't change a thing. Jodie and Eric was with us step by step. They directed us the whole way through. My hubby and I got lost a moment when we were cutting the cake and all we had to do was look at Eric and we were back on track.I had one of the hardest dresses to bustle and both Jodie and Eric jumped in and got it figured out together.They love what they do and they do it flawlessly. And ladies make sure to tell your guests that the centerpieces aren't available for take home..my mother thought they were and had her eye on a gold glitter tree. I was so embarrassed she ran off with it but it turned out to be one of the best highlights of the night. Eric had a good time teasing me about it and a hilliarious video surfaced on social media that has me laughing to this day still. Those are the types of memories I have booking my wedding with Jodie and Eric @ The DeLeon. I'm confident No other venue will compare. Thank you sooo much Jodie and Eric DeLeon. Tears filled my eyes typing that you made the most important day in my life one to remember and cherish forever
