Adrianna, Sam, and Veronica were our main points of contact throughout our wedding planning process with The Bardot. We were so impressed with all three of them. They were all kind, efficient, easy to work with and communicated quickly with all of our questions and requests. The Bardot is truly a dream venue. The three levels with the rooftop, main reception hall, and downstairs cocktail hour speakeasy truly creates a different vibe on every floor. My wedding vision came to life in this space and I will never forget walking in and seeing how beautiful everything was on our wedding day. I was so happy with the way our reception turned out and so appreciate all of the awesome team members at The Bardot! Reviewed on 17-07-2023
Kelly Wilson(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-10-2022 The space speaks for itself, but the staff at The Bardot were wonderful as well! Veronica and Kalea were quick communicators and accommodating to our various needs and requests. They played a key role in helping us have the perfect day and had multiple meetings to walk through everything with us and our coordinator. Our families were out of town and Veronica was extremely flexible to help us find a time to do a walk through with them, which they appreciated so much! The Bardot staff had the place looking wonderful for the big day and helped accommodate our needs throughout the process. We had a 150-person wedding and the space felt perfect for that size. We recommend using The Bardot, or any of the Abbot Events spaces. They were awesome to work with and are beautiful spaces to get married in KC! Reviewed on 08-12-2022
Caitlin Lamb(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-09-2022 Veronica, the venue manager, is an absolute dream to work with. She is so so kind, responsive, and a wiz at making everything come together. The Bardot is expensive in terms of KC venues, but they are transparent from day 1 giving you a complete breakdown of costs, which I loved. The venue is gorgeous with a rooftop, ballroom, and speak easy. The bartenders were great and the facilities were immaculate. Our guest list ended up being half of what we invited and I worried it would feel too big, but Veronica came up with the best layout that made everything fit perfectly for our numbers. The location is amazing in the heart of KC and walkable to Loew's hotel. I toured I think 10 venues with the Bardot being the first. It was the easiest selection and you won't regret it. Can't wait to get pictures back! Reviewed on 19-09-2022
Lauren Ashton(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-08-2022 First of all, the venue is absolutely beautiful! We had tons of compliments from our guests about how wonderful the venue was. We had no issues arise with the venue and they were really great to work with.

Elizabeth Donnell(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 28-05-2022 I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed having our wedding at The Bardot. First of all, Veronica is amazing and is quick to respond to any questions that come up. The venue speaks for itself- we fell in love with the space the moment we toured. The basement is an awesome speak easy type space great for cocktail hour and the rooftop has an amazing view of downtown KC. The venue did not need much decor because it’s so pretty on its own. I hope we get to attend another wedding at The Bardot just to hang out there again for a few more hours. Reviewed on 21-06-2022
Diane Mussorici(other)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-05-2022 Our family checked out several wedding venues in Kansas City and we knew the moment we walked through the front doors of The Bardot that it was the one! Veronica was our venue coordinator and she was the icing on the cake. She was so friendly and patient, answering emails promptly, listening to our concerns and making suggestions along the way. She made sure every detail was addressed. Our daughter’s wedding ceremony was on the main floor, and cocktail hour was on the rooftop while the main room was being flipped for the reception. The ease of the transition was flawless. The bartenders and servers were very professional and we had comments from the guests who remarked on how friendly and accommodating the entire staff was. The reception was set up perfectly and the venue exceeded all our expectations! Cheers to The Bardot! Reviewed on 14-06-2022
Katie Foster(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-05-2022 The Bardot exceeded my dream wedding expectations. The venue aesthetic speaks for itself, but the team behind the scenes was even more amazing. We had such a great planning and day-of experience with our venue manager, Veronica. She was a rockstar.

Will Higgins(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-03-2022 From the moment I saw the renderings of what the Bardot was going to look like I knew it was exactly where I wanted to have our wedding. The staff at the Bardot has been incredible! We had to reschedule twice due to COVID and they were more than gracious to work with us to make sure we got the day we wanted. They worked with us so much to make sure that the full day was perfect including coordinating with our other vendors and making sure we had everything we needed to just enjoy the day. The venue was absolutely stunning, it made decorating it so easy because it almost needs nothing. We did our ceremony on the main floor, then cocktail hour down stairs while they flipped the main floor to the reception dinner and dance floor. Everything went so smoothly, the team was so polished and quick. The bartenders did a fantastic job keeping our guests happy. Booking the Bardot was the best decision we made for our wedding. 100% would recommend, I can't tell you how happy you will be that you booked this formal, intimate and comfortable space.

Lauren Vannatter(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 24-07-2021 The Bardot ladies were so helpful throughout the entire process. We had to postpone our wedding and they were understanding and made our dream wedding happen a year later. Every second of our day was perfect from the ceremony, to the room switch, to the reception. The space is stunning and doesn’t need a lot of decor to be absolutely beautiful. We loved having another space downstairs to host cocktail hour while our room was switched. Also, the rooftop made for BEAUTIFUL pictures. Couldn’t recommend a better team or space to get married! Reviewed on 30-07-2021
Taylor Wolf(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-05-2021 Our wedding at The Bardot turned out to be everything that we wanted and so much more! The venue is beautiful and the finishes are top notch. The chandeliers are sparkling showstoppers! There are so many different spaces that make it versatile to use throughout the day. We used the bridal suite for getting ready, the lower level lounge for first looks, and then took pictures on the rooftop. Not only did we use The Bardot for our cocktail hour and reception but also our ceremony. If you can’t tell, we absolutely loved The Bardot and wanted to spend as much time as possible at our wedding venue. Veronica was so helpful and always willing to talk through details. Everyone was so professional and everything went according to plan.We had a pretty intricate set up with lots of moving pieces. But everything was coordinated in a perfect way that allowed them to pull off a quick room flip. We were so impressed with how fast they were able to pull it off. When we walked back upstairs for a sneak peak of the reception, we were blown away that the space was completely transformed into what seemed like an entirely different space.The bar and bartending services were great. We even had two signature cocktails and it did not slow them down at all. Unfortunately, we had to move our original wedding date but The Bardot and Abbott Events Team made a very difficult decision, easy. They were accommodating, easy to work with, and quick to help us plan the wedding we always wanted. We would definitely recommend The Bardot - it was perfect! Reviewed on 04-06-2021

We couldn’t ask for better people to help us plan and host our wedding during covid. Veronica and the staff always made themselves available, quick to respond to all of our questions and concerns, and open to negations when changes occurred so often during covid. Veronica and the staff even helped us submit our risk-mitigation plan to the health department, which wasn’t an easy task. We couldn’t of asked for a better wedding! Thanks so much!!
