I had assumed it was just a bunch of old offices or classrooms, never imagining a chapel with such grand arches, stained glass and marble stairs and landings. I hope that organizations can take advantage of this event space and host appropriate events. This chapel would make a great "listening room" for folk / classical concerts. If you receive a wedding invite that is being conducted here, by all means go!

We had our daughter's wedding here in December 2021. We worked with John for nearly a year and…read morecould not have been more thrilled with the experience. The venue provides a unique, historic KC location with a strong team of vendors to choose from. Some of the top reasons we recommend: 1. The beautiful on-site chapel that allows for a church setting and no need for a room flip. 2. Early access to venue for set-up (3 days before our event) and ability to return the following Monday for clean up. This allowed us to simply enjoy the entire day on Saturday. 3. John and his staff were so fun to work with. We loved his humor, energy and knowledge.

We had a great time for our daughter's high school graduation with about 100 people coming in and out. Our guests enjoyed the patio space with ample seating and fun games. The bathrooms are clean and spacious. We could get whatever we needed for tables, chairs, buffet tables, and we were very grateful for their tea/lemonade service. We could easily work with the owners for our needs in the days and weeks leading up the event.

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.

The Vintage House provides everything you could need for hosting a party; glassware, utensils, flatware, serving platters, drink dispensers, and a full kitchen!

The space can be rented either the entire day or for 1 of the 2 shifts (we rented 3pm-8pm). I would highly recommend this space for small parties in the Overland Park area!

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!
