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.

Being new to Missouri I had no clue where to start..I had two weeks to find the perfect place. 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

Getting married! No! Not me... been there/done that!…read more I have some friends that are stepping up to have their nuptials. And this is the place. I cannot stress enough how open this place is. And by open... yes it used to be a theater that they have reset into a venue! They have remodeled the projection booth to be the mens and brides rooms... yes I said mens and brides... you are only a groom while you are standing up front... the rest of the time you are one of the guys. The wedding hasn't taken place yet (i'll update after that) but I did meet the owner. She was extremely helpful and willing to make small alterations to the existing packages to ensure that all needs are met. If you are having an event with less than 200 people go check this place out! It is new and has great access. There is no smoking deck/lounge so I would say that is the only draw back however peeps should be able to go a few hours without.

I can't recommend Decemeber from Soirée Event Designs high enough! We were planning our wedding…read moreceremony and events on our own up until a month and a half prior to the date. As the date became closer, we started to feel a bit overwhelmed with all the details. I received Decemeber's information from a friend, and from our first interaction, she was a true professional! Because we were less than two months from our wedding, Decemeber moved to schedule our face-to-face meeting quickly. The introduction discussion was well organized and she walked me through all of our vendor details, wedding party, must-haves, etc. My fiancé and I thought we had covered all our bases, but it was obvious after our discussion that there were many other details we needed to address. Decemeber made this feel like a breeze, and immediately helped wrap up finishing touches and assembled a "day-of" timeline. She began coordinating directly with our vendors, to eliminate the stress from the groom and me. Because of all the work Soirée did up front, the day of our wedding was well executed, relaxed and most importantly fun! As the bride, I didn't have to worry about who needed to be where and when. Decemeber had all of this outlined for us. She even found a new hairstylist two weeks before the wedding, after I decided to make a last minute change! From the first phone call with Decemeber to giving her a hug at the end of our wedding reception, she made wedding planning a stress-free process and our day was executed to perfection! (And if there was a hiccup, she handled it and we never knew) On top of her professionalism, Decemeber is a joy to work with to plan a major event.

I went into wedding planning fully aware that I didn't know what I didn't know. I had no clear vision for colors or décor, but Michelle took the time to truly get to know us. She asked thoughtful questions, offered smart suggestions, and helped shape a wedding weekend that felt unique, intentional, and perfectly "us." It's no surprise Michelle has established herself as the best of the best in this industry. Not only does she have incredible relationships with top‑tier vendors, but you can tell they genuinely love working with her. She helped us navigate tricky communication moments, advocated for us in contract details we never would've caught, and even secured a few discounts simply because vendors were so grateful to have another one of her couples. Her attention to detail is unmatched. She double‑ and triple‑checked every chair number, every linen measurement, every tiny timeline moment. She caught typos on ceremony programs, swapped out a drape because it wasn't the exact right shade of green, and thought through our day in 15‑second increments. Nothing slipped past her. Throughout the entire process, Michelle was always available. She felt like immediate family--our group text was constantly buzzing with updates, questions, weather checks, and pep talks. I truly don't know how anyone plans a wedding without a full‑time planner, and I especially don't know how we would've done it with anyone other than Michelle. She's experienced, connected, intuitive, and has that rare eye that just gets it. I could not recommend her more.

We did have one issue with a wedding card being opened and then returned to a new spot (most likely because it was a check and not cash) by someone working at the venue - but this was most likely not the 8th and main staff! Would highly recommend!

I recently went to a wedding at 8th & Main. The space is beautiful, but the layout is funky…read more There is the first room, the vault room. It just has a cool vault door. This room is on the smaller side. You could have a small ceremony or a few round tables in it. Then there are 2 small hallways on either side of the vault room that lead to the back room which is bigger. The hallways are kind of annoying. They have the men's restroom in 1 hallway and then on the other side, is the women's. It was annoying because it wasn't well marked and it was easy to forget which side was which. The back patio is nice. It's a decently sized patio. It has fake put-put golf grass. I can't decide how I feel about that. Overall I wasn't overly impressed with the space. I believe the bride said it was $4k to rent it on a Saturday, but you could choose your own vendors. Since the location is in tiny little Grandview and not KC, I think that seems a tad steep.
