Not handicapped accessible or workable for grandparents or other older relatives. No elevator and they have not added a foldable chair lift for the considerable stairs, so there was really no way to get around the space smoothly for a crowd. Unfortunate, because the setting is pretty. (If they update accessibility, we will come back to revise this review).

I was supposed to be married at Cellar 222 in August. My fiancé died by suicide a month before our…read morewedding. When I reached out to the venue they refused to refund anything. No sympathy, no empathy. Cellar 222 cared more about keeping my money than even showing the smallest act of compassion. I'll never forget how cold and transactional they were during the worst moment of my life. Choose a venue with a heart, not this one.

Spent an evening here at the Abbott for the closing celebration of Kansas City corporate challenge…read moreevent. I have seen pictures of wedding at this event space before. It was good to finally attend an event here. This event space was spacious enough to fit 20+ tables and they also had a large multi tiered crystal chandelier featuring numerous candle lights. They looked so pretty. Bar area was a decent sized one too. Restrooms were clean and maintained well. There are plenty of options for parking near the venue.

We attended a wedding at The Abbott this weekend, and while I can't speak for the bride and groom,…read moreI was seriously impressed as a guest. The venue is huge, but it somehow still feels cozy. There was plenty of space for hundreds of us, and yet it never felt crowded. They pulled off the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and the after-party seamlessly. The rooftop and well-placed bars made everything flow effortlessly. At no point did we feel rushed, overwhelmed, or stuck waiting around--which is rare at big events. It was an incredibly fun night. If I ever had a large event to plan, The Abbott would be high on my list.

There is the easy convenience of having the Hotel President across the street. Kelly, the event coordinator is a joy to work with and always available for our follow ups and stupid questions and changes. They have a private rooftop area, perfect for first looks and vows. My only complaint was parking. The night of our event, there was a concert at T-Mobile and parking was hard to find. I asked if there was an option to reserve a lot ahead of time and there wasn't, I was told there's normally plenty of street and garage parking. This night, there wasn't.

The bathrooms are on the front porch that is accessible by no overhang, there are 2 and half bathroom, half is just a urinal. It's not very handicap accessible. Our table was picnic table by the kitchen on the back porch. We couldn't see the party at the head table. There were no fans near us. The bar/ water station was a good walk. Bring a seat cushion since you're sitting on log benches. Let's talk about the crazy drive to find this place. We took the 1-49 directions which is a 2 lane road with no side for miles. Make sure you fill up with gas otherwise it's miles until you find a gas station. We went home via 1-69 which felt like a safe/less crazy road way. There are no street lights either. There is no wifi when on the property. The property grounds are well taken care of and nice. I couldn't image how the event would be able to take place if it was raining.

Seating indoors and outdoors for this wedding and dinner created intimate experience while affording plenty of space for mingling during cocktail hour. Definite connectivity between ceremony/cocktails/dinner/dancing. Small play area for kids and unique, discreet fairy theme was very cute. The only downside to this place is I live too far away to use it for my daughter's weddings!! Book this space it, is really special.

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!

Our daughter and son-in-law recently had their wedding reception at Loose Mansion and we were…read moreextremely please with the event. We cannot recommend Loose Mansion highly enough. My wife and I were impressed and pleased with the professionalism of the staff and the preparation of the event space. The event manager, Loren, appeared to be everywhere and invisible at the same time, and the staff worked seamlessly with the outside vendors. Every guest that spoke to me about the venue mentioned how beautiful it is and how well everything ran. My wife and I also stayed in the Carriage House and that simplified and enhanced our experience. We love to take a morning walk, and the neighborhood was fun to explore too. One last item that I don't want to overlook is their process of event preparation. It seemed that every need, every eventuality, was anticipated and prepared for. On the front end, it seemed a little daunting, answering all those questions and choosing among so many options, but the payoff came at the reception. Everything ran smoothly and we were able to relax and enjoy our guests. The Loose Mansion team could not have been more thorough.

TTOG is a beautiful full service venue with a bridal room, main reception floor with a full bar,…read moreand a rooftop overlooking Kansas City. They also have a décor closet with leftover centerpieces, sequin runners, etc. that you can use, which saved us a lot of money! The food is AMAZING. We went with a 3 protein buffet (rotisserie chicken, roast beef carving station, salmon) with salad, rolls, and 2 sides. It was AMAZING-- easily the best wedding food I've ever had. Another bonus with TTOG is that they offer two day-of coordinators, which I couldn't have appreciated more. A few weeks before the wedding, we met with Emad to set a timeline for the night so that everything moved along smoothly as the night progressed. I dropped all my decor off (and a list of the ones I wanted to use from their supply) the week of the wedding, and they do all of the set up and tear down for us! Everything looked perfect the night of. We don't have a single complaint about the venue, Emad or Maggie, or the bar/serving staff. If anything went wrong, Emad or Maggie took care of it and we didn't notice a thing! For the price, they offered a lot more than any other venues downtown that we looked at, and came in at our projected budget. I cannot say enough nice things about TTOG and would 100% recommend them to another couple.

There were many people from all over town and our little area here in New Longview. My wife and I live is Kessler Ridge, so we drove less than five minutes to get to the mansion. We have been on the grounds many times before, but this was the first time we were able to visit the interior of the house. It is impressive and fun. There were lots of little pop-up shops set up inside the mansion, all on the main floor and then in a tent that extended from a sunporch on the back of the house. That was by far the biggest area to shop. The rest of the little pop-up areas were small and cozy inside the house. The staff was lovely and serving drinks, wine and food. We only had one glass of wine so we could drive home safely. We loved walking around the house, which everyone who attended was allowed to do with no drama and no supervision. Everyone I saw was super respectful of the property. Everyone we encountered was kind. It was a lovely evening. I hope they do it again next year so we can go.
