Chris and his team were great to work with! Communication was clear, the staff present on the day of the wedding were so helpful and the space is beautiful. The bridal room where we got ready was big enough for getting ready. The grooms room was a great distraction for the guys as well.

El Torreon was the perfect place to have our wedding and reception. This is the ideal place to have them all in one with plenty of space. The owner Chris Colvin was informative, attentive, and went above and beyond to make our day special. It is not easy being an active duty servicemember or planning a wedding out of state but having Chris at El Torreon made it feel like a breeze. Chris thank you for your constant communication and your willingness to do as much or as little to help our dream day come true. This event space is the perfect blank canvas to decorate or the perfect place to let the beauty of the building shine through. El Torreon has plenty of options to help you have the wedding you dream it to be. If you haven't added it to your venue options list, please do yourself a favor and do so. Highly, highly, highly recommend.

The venue staff is wonderful and flexible! They didn't try to oversell us on anything, we could get any of our own vendors we wanted, and overall was just great work with. If you book here, I recommend getting security though (they offer it). A person came into our reception and attempted to steal our cards and gifts. Luckily they were caught and the venue manager locked the doors and manned the door afterwards, but that was still scary! Again, the staff is great though and it's such a fun venue. Very art deco-looking!

What a gem of an event space! Not only do you get top notch customer service, but you also get a flexible event space that speaks for itself in its own simple beauty. While El Torreon stands by itself in it own unique rustic yet modern style, it also serves as an empty canvas for your own special flair and design. Not many event spaces will allow such creativity! Also, for any history buffs out there, this place packs its own wallop of KC history and culture. With reasonable rates, flexible spaces, and EXCELLENT staff and management to handle your event, choosing El Torreon was the best first decision we made in wedding planning. Would hands down recommend to anyone planning any type of event.PS: Union Station and the WWI Memorial are super close for taking pictures there.

We were very satisfied with El Torreon! We planned on having our wedding here in 2020 but ended up postponing and having our reception here instead in 2021. The team working there now is great! As we approached our reception, Chris and Amanda were easy to communicate with. Amanda coordinated all the fine details and was a breeze to work with! She was there for the entire event and made sure it ran smoothly along with her teammate, Joel. They were very accommodating and helpful getting us set up and going! The location is great to access many parts of KC and the historical aspect of this venue makes it unique. We also really liked the bridal suite and grooms room.

The venue is charming and one of the most affordable options we found in the KC area. The location was perfect - a short drive to the hotel we stayed at, parking included right out front, and easy to get to from anywhere in KC.I would highly recommend El Torreon to anyone looking to get married! It was a pleasure getting to work with them for a big day!

If you get to work with Chris Colvin, you will be one lucky bride and groom. He came on board the El Torreon team when we were about to have our wedding a month before and he was ABSOLUTELY incredible. He checked up on us several times and honestly gave us a sigh of relief whenever we had a issue. He always would go the extra mile to check on things in the venue and to make sure he could answer any questions we had at all times. We weren’t the easiest couple to deal with so I am SO glad he was there and patient with us every step of the way. I hope el torreon keeps this employee as a top priority!

I should’ve written this review a long time ago, but I finally remembered to do it at a moment when I also had the time to do so😬 El Torreon KC is where my husband and I got married. We were one of the first ones to do so after their big renovations in 2017. Kris and his team were very accommodating, professional, and available for any questions that came up during the planning. it’s a beautiful place, and I appreciate the team. All this to say; I can absolutely recommend this event space to anyone!PS: my favorite thing is that you can see the red tower that’s a block away from the location from most parts of town/KC highways, which will always remind you of your special day :)

Choosing El Torreón was by far the best choice we made in planning our wedding. My husband and I were both medical students and we had a 4-month engagement, so finding the time to plan a wedding was a challenge to say the least. We had hired a full-service wedding planner at the beginning, but ended up ending our contract with her 2-weeks in because she just wasn’t a good fit for what we needed with our crunched timeline and our limited time available to spend making decisions etc. We took the plunge of planning the wedding ourselves and we purchased the El Torreón Gatsby package, which made planning our wedding 10-times easier than it should have been. The vendors coordinated flawlessly and were all incredible (see separate reviews for each). The management and staff at El Torreón were very easy to work with and we never once felt like we were being “sold to” or cheated on any way. In fact, we felt like we got an incredible deal with no surprises and everything up-front. Joel in particular was a great help with the setup on rehearsal day and all of the logistical details with the venue on the day-of. Not to mention the fact that the venue itself is absolutely gorgeous! Having a separate area for all of the food was perfect and the building layout made the movement of guests from ceremony to food area to reception very smooth. The service, flexibility, relational approach, venue beauty, and vendor coordination at El Torreón made us feel like we got twice the value of what we paid for, resulting in our dream wedding.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would! Now I planned our wedding in less than 6 months so not much was left, but we were so lucky to have found El Torreon. Now when we first viewed El Torreon they were in the process or redecorating. They are still renovating the upstairs, but this place was exactly what I had visioned.First we met with Kris. Kris is the guy you want helping with your wedding! He explained what El Torreon was all about. They do lots of work with the community, underprivledged youths, and multiple shelters. He was easy to get along with, personable, professional, and an amazing person. He answered all our questions in a timely manner, took our feedback and made changes, and eased all of our worries. During our wedding day I cannot explain how above and beyond he went. He is AWESOME!During our planning, we realized we needed A LOT of help. So we up'd our package to the gatsby pacakge. We paid 9000 and it was worth it!Now I didn't get to meet the workers on the day, but I can only image what they had to deal with! They did so many behind the scene things with setting up and taking down that I am so incredibly grateful for how smoothly that went. I thought I would need at least 7 hours to set up everything I had brought in, but we were in and out. Then of course I didn't want to do anything after our wedding and I actually didn't have to. We got all our rentals out and they took care of all the cleaning! They were such an incredible help and I wish I could have spent time with them to thank them for all their help.Justin Smith with j. Smith events was our florist and he made my vision come alive. Now flowers was the one thing that I had no idea about. Im so glad he stuck with us. I work night shift and I had no motivation to do anything. I waited until the last minute to give him everything I need. He took all my disorganized idea and poor planning and made the most beautiful arrangements. Everyone at my wedding commented on how beautiful everything was. He took all my scattered tastes and made everything cohesive. I loved working with him and he is so incredibly sweet. Whitney worried with us for the cake. We were having a variety of desserts so we thought we didn't need a lot of cake. BOY WERE WE WRONG! Everyone loved the cake and it was exactly like I pictured. Whitney was awesome working with our scheudules and incredibly professional. She is very creative and can bring anything you think of to life!Last but not least, Cori from com-po-sure. Cori may be an angel. She literally saved our wedding. My sister had gotten married the year before but it was a destination wedding so this was our first wedding with multiple moving parts, vendors, busy timeline, etc. I did not realized how much goes into a wedding. Cori was so incredible. She took everything we had in mind and made it a reality. We met with Cori about a month before our wedding and she kept in contact with us the whole time. She eased my mind about things that I thought was going to be an issue, she spoke with and coordinated all our vendors, made the wedding day go so smoothly It confused me that I didn't have to do anything, brought us our flowers WHEN WE FORGOT THEM, and hyped me up on our wedding day to name a few things. Cori is such an amazing person inside and out. She is so creative, professional, tough, and organized she is the person you want to helping you with your wedding planning and your wedding day!

We had our wedding here on March 24th. Kris was a HUGE help, not only before the ceremony, but also day of. He let us use one of the extra rooms for our photos to help out the photographers, he let us borrow flowers for added decor and candles for the tables. He also helped us change our room set up on the day of and was very flexible and patient! He really went above and beyond and made the venue so beautiful for us. Thank you so much, Kris!
