Recently hosted a 300-person plated dinner event; 99% of our people really enjoyed the food and if you want the aesthetics' this is the place, they know how to put lip stick on a pig (you have to bring the lipstick) that being said, aesthetically it was great. Service not so much, very slow, not friendly, wait staff need a service on customer service (the irony). Space gets an A -, Everything else overall a very low C-, hovering a D. I could say more, but what's the point. Too expensive for what you get. read more

The Gallery Event Space is just that. A big open room that you can sort of turn into anything. In my opinion, you'd have to work pretty hard to make this place look cool and unique. It's got white walls and a small stage area (maybe changeable?). One redeeming factor is that it is pretty big. Obviously the location is prime as well. When I was there, the credit card machines were down. I don't know if this was an issue with the event space or a vendor, but it made things difficult because there wasn't an ATM close by. I would probably go elsewhere to hold a larger event. read more

Went here for a charity event with a few of my colleagues. It's a beautiful venue and perfect around this Fall time. The night lights are on outside and you can see from the Gallery windows all warm inside. This place is great for a large crowd and can easily fit 20-30 tables with food/bar. Restrooms is close to the entrance/exit. The walls are white but the ceilings has lights and if you want to decor this place up, it could be pretty even for a wedding or an outing. Definitely a well spacious and clean venue. read more

The Gallery - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Modern glam space in the heart of down town KC. Stairs and elevator make it really accessible. Vast open area to use like a blank canvas for any event. At entering on my left it was all windows with a front and center view of the power and light district. They have my vote for the Best outdoor patio with a view of downtown. Easily see it being favored as a wedding reception venue. Sparkly clean ladies room and a coat check if needed. Staff were kind and efficient keeping the event running smoothly. Our parking was free with validation, bring your ticket with you to the gallery. read more

I've had the chance to attend a variety of events at The Gallery; Office parties, Mardi Gras, Yelp events, just to name a few. It earns major points for versatility, the urban location, and friendliness from the staff. Many of the events I have frequented here have come in the colder/darker months, so I really enjoy looking out the big glass windows and seeing the buildings and decorative lights strung all around. Really makes for a fun vibe all around. The interior lighting is not my favorite, as it generally has purples/pinks and colors that I'm not a huge fan of - again that's totally my personal perspective. The space holds a ton of people well, and has bathrooms tucked away but easily accessible. It's definitely a newer space, and one that's made to mold to fit an event. For instance, some of the older West Bottoms spaces are bound to have some more built in character as their walls tell decades of stories, and The Gallery is a bit different in that regard. However, it does a good job of being a warm, inviting event space. I always like coming down here, particularly on those cold winter nights when you're surrounded by the tall buildings, walking around inside the skyline itself and popping up the stairs for what's always been a fun event here. read more

I had an opportunity to attend the grand opening event at Gallery, and I was quite impressed. I think it's going to be quite popular! It's a rather large space with a capacity of around 500 for cocktail, and obviously less for seated dining. True to it's name, this space is a massive, blank slate. Vast white walls that would be perfectly suited to hanging art are also a pretty convenient way to make sure the decor doesn't interfere with what an event planner has in mind. The ceiling is really cool, with glowing panels that can easily switch to most any color. I can see plenty of brides be all about matching the ceiling to their wedding color. Oh brides, you're so funny. My FAVORITE part of this space, however, has to be the massive patio. Overlooking 14th street, this outdoor space has a beautiful view of the downtown skyline and also overlooks the Drunken Fish patio (which, BTW is looking pretty nice too!) With a cool breeze, this was a wonderful place to hang out during dusk. My only concern with this space is the number of bathrooms. It shares facilities with The Kill Devil right next door, and it didn't seem like there all that many spots. That being said, I never had to wait in line for the bathroom, so maybe i'm making something out of nothing. All in all, I really like this event space, and I think it will fill a niche in the Power and Light district. The P&L has been hitting some major strides lately, and I suspect that they can add Gallery to the win column. read more

What a gorgeous space. I was here for a Restaurant Week event and even though there were quite a few people and lots of venders the space did not seem crowded at all. The space is very beautiful and, with the patio, it will hold you, all your nearest and dearest, and a few hundred others. The staff was amazing as well. read more

My husband and I got married here over Labor Day weekend, and could not have asked for a better setting to our wedding day. When we first started looking for venues, I thought we'd never find a location in Kansas City that looked beautiful & modern -- AND had a separate space for the ceremony and location. The Gallery fit the bill and more. We ended up having our ceremony in the beautiful Kill Devil Club, and the cocktail / reception took place in The GAllery. Everything that the venue was in charge of was top-notch, from the planning process to the execution. As a lot of other couples can relate to, we planned every step of our wedding rather than hiring our coordinator or handing it off to our parents. The level of detail involved can at times become overwhelming, but working with Jessica, the Gallery's wedding coordinator, made this as stress-free is possible. She is so professional, responsive, fun and most of all, was clearly committed to making sure we had the day we envisoned. Her flexibility, open-mindedness and professionalism cannot be overstated. Ultimately -- we can highly recommend this for any type of event. Fair pricing, GREAT location & style, and wonderful staff. Thank you again! read more

This place is fantastic. It doesn't look terribly large, but when people start filling in you realize just how spacious it is. With ten to twelve vendors and probably 100 people, it was not crowded at all. Everyone could easily move around and mingle. It is most certainly a place I would look into if planning a large event. The staff was very friendly and did a great job keeping things cleaned up. They have a balcony that I would love to visit during a summer event. Just overall a great place. read more

I attended a wedding here this weekend and was blown away by the stunning design and the amount of people that the space could accommodate. The staff was fabulous- friendly and helpful and fun. The bathrooms were shared with the Red Devil Club (attached), so I worried they might get gross- they were pristine. A great space and staff indeed. Anyone would be wise to consider this new space for their event. Like it way better than most of the downtown options- the lighting is great. It does get noisy due to acoustics in hardwood floors- but hey, you come here to have a great time. Did I mention a gorgeous patio with a stunning view. When you are there you don't feel like you're in Kansas anymore. read more

This is a great, comfortable space. The view is awesome too. It's a good size, but maybe a little small for larger groups. I don't know if the wait staff was specific to this event, but they were very friendly and attentive. read more

My wife and I had our wedding reception here two weeks ago. We were blown away by the venue. Everything was great and we had no complaints. They've only been open for less than a year, so you'd think they would need to work the kinks out. That is not the case. They run it like its been going for years. Service: The service level is excellent. Bartenders, servers, etc. are very friendly and attentive. The best part is the service level from their event coordinator, Jessica. She was our go to contact for the 9 months before the event to that day. She's simply wonderful. My fiance probably drove her nuts by all the emails she sent her, but Jessica always responded back extremely quickly and with all the necessary info/advice. I can't imagine a better coordinator in the business. She's organized, fun and friendly. Food: When we booked The Gallery, this was the one aspect we didn't like about it because you had to use their caterers. Once we had our tasting, we quickly realized they have great food. I can't tell you how many compliments we had regarding the food. It was really good. Patio: best patio in downtown KC. Plenty of room to enjoy the nice weather and they have it partially covered even if it rains. They have nice planters with fresh flowers out there as well so its very well kept. The north wall of the interior is all windows so the space looks over the patio and the downtown skyline. Bathrooms: shared with Kill Devil Club which wasn't a problem at all. Very modern and well kept. Never any lines and we had a large group of 300 people at the event. Prices: Great bang for your buck. They give packaged pricing, so it might seem high at first look. We looked at a ton of other venues and the pricing isn't packaged so the others seem lower. When you add it all up, the Gallery is right on par with all of the middle/high end event spaces in town. read more

I attended a Yelp Elite event here or I would have never known that it even existed. Hiding on the second floor above Bristol Seafood Grill and adjacent to Kill Devil Club, The Gallery is at the epicenter of KCMO's Power & LIght District, a large event space with more than enough room for 11 restaurant stations, a wine and a beer bar, tables and high tops, and 100 or so KC Yelp Elite and our significant others. The Gallery is tastefully simple yet modern in design and functionality, a great place for 2016's first Elite event or any small to medium size event for that matter. Not knowing how much the space rents for, I cannot make assumptions regarding "value" here. However, a space this large, tasteful, and centrally located in Kansas City's hottest bar and restaurant scene would be difficult to compete with, no matter the price.

I attended a ECI Ball last night at this venue and I would have to say it was quite nice. It is in a great location and there is many things to do if you don't want to stay there all night. My FAVORITE part of this space was the massive patio that overlooks 14th street!! This would be a great place for holiday parties or even wedding receptions. It was very spacious and the bathrooms were old fashioned :) I would attend another event here. read more

What can I say-- Jessica and her crew made my Covid wedding a dream come true. First let's talk about the space. The Bridal Suite is perfect, mirrors everywhere, and the lighting is spot on. The venue is so spacious it was easy to social distance our wedding. The high ceilings were the BEST and the balcony overlooking downtown is absolute perfection. Location is great for surrounding hotels, we just walked to our hotel afterwards, but there are lots of different nightlife activities to do as well (Power & Light District) Our wedding guests RAVED about the food, and we did late night food too-- best decision ever!! Jessica was hands on from beginning to end, super professional, super sweet and she KNOWS her stuff! Her staff was very attentive and I just want to relive my dream wedding over and over and over!! read more

Great sized event space..huge. The food was AWFUL though.. All of it..The seafood cooking smelled up the whole lobby area downstairs- smelled like bad fish.. Well, that is what they served us along with some sort of pork that was bright red- wouldn't even touch it.. Sides, meal, dessert (I won't even go into how bad that one was) - terrible. I am giving it stars because the space was nice and service was good. But the food? lower than the temperatures lately -- negative ZERO! read more

Trying out the tasty treats coming out for restaurant week! This years crop of places seems exceptionally diverse. Can't wait to get out there and try some. read more

The Gallery was outstanding, bringing a dream to reality for my daughter's wedding. Full of class with perfect attention to detail. McCall was nothing short of amazing, carefully listening to our requests, sharing options, and pulling everything together seamlessly. My favorite part was their "First Look" in the foyer that I watched from the rooftop patio... a close second was their father/daughter dance under the chandelier and pink ceiling lights. Thank you for the gift of such a wonderful day. I highly recommend The Gallery for your special day! read more

The gallery is incredible! We just had our wedding there and it was beyond gorgeous. We had very specific needs for our wedding and Jessica really went above and beyond for us in ensuring we had the completely custom wedding we wanted. It was truly the best night of our lives and The Gallery and their team was a huge part of that. I would 1,000% recommend the Gallery as a venue to anybody getting married. read more

Gorgeous blank slate venue. I am a fan of the chic-industrial-modern look. A friend and I came here for a Kansas City Fashion Week show and she was immediately in love. She grabbed a marketing packet for fun and we perused the package options. Not ever having thrown a large function such as a wedding or anything, I don't really know how prices compare, but from what I've been told, this is a bit on the higher end. The lights on the ceiling were very cool. I liked how they could choose two colors, not just one. It really set the mood of the space with minimal adjustment. The fixtures were all very modern and the restrooms were plentiful. If I had the money and the reason, I would definitely consider using this space to host an event. read more

I had the pleasure of attending an event here. It has it all - great location, large wide open space, beautiful view & a balcony over looking 14th Street - you can literally do whatever you want with decorations in here. There is a nice stair/elevator tower up to the space. You can valet your car in front or there is plenty of public parking. read more

this space is beautiful! ideal space for a bride looking for a completely raw space or an event with exhibits. Floor to ceiling windows, incredible lighting options, what I hear is a beautiful patio in the summer and great location! read more

We have had several events at The Gallery. The room is gorgeous and spacious. Our last event we had 300 people. The room was set up theater style and sill had plenty of room in the back for a cocktail and appetizer reception. The balcony ended up being an extenion to our reception area. The balcony had flower pots with beautiful flower arrangements seitting on the balcony edge that over looks 14th Street. The staff was fantastic, very friendly and eager to help in anyway they could to make the event perfect. The only thing I was not tatally impressed with was the food. It was good, but nothing rememberable. Overall this event space and staff is great and I would recommend holding your special event here. read more

One of the best venues in KC! Jessica and Kenzie are amazing to work worth and the space is absolutely stunning.
