The Guild KC Reviews
Alexa Campbell(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-09-2022 The Guild was seriously our DREAM venue! We honestly only looked at one venue and decided to make it official and book it the next day. We loved everything about the venue from the layout, to the beautiful outdoor area and the design of modern meets old fashioned. The staff, especially Chelsea, was a huge help in the planning process as well as logistics. She helped recommend so many of the vendors we ended up going with, including out planner. Everything turned out absolutely beautiful the night of! I recommend every KC couple chooses this spot for their wedding day! Reviewed on 04-10-2022

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony and reception at The Guild in October 2023, and had such an amazing experience! Chelsea, Amy and Darren are experts, having answers to every question and solutions to every problem. The entire planning process was organized and communication between us and the team was efficient and always so helpful.The plan was to have our ceremony outside in the garden, but being that our wedding was late Fall, we knew weather could be questionable. We were able to truly make a game time decision, giving us until the day of to make the call to get married inside or outside. This was so appreciated and resulted in us being able to get married outside as we had hoped! The bartenders were on top of service, and everyone raved about how delicious our signature cocktail (a spicy margarita) was. Photos and videos with the chandelier are everything we had hoped for. We are so happy that we got married at The Guild and absolutely recommend it to others! Reviewed on 23-12-2023

My husband and I decided to have our wedding at The Guild and we are so glad we did! We were looking for a venue that could fit around 210 guests. Our wedding ended up being around 175 guests and the room actually felt perfect at that number - not too full, not too empty.We also wanted a venue that we could have our ceremony and reception in the same place, but separate rooms so we didn’t have to do a room flip and in the scenario that it rained, we could decide last minute to do the ceremony inside. This most definitely paid off - it did end up raining the day of the wedding. My DOC made the decision to keep the wedding outside with the expectation that it was supposed to clear up by the time of the ceremony. Long story short, it didn’t and it started raining harder. Extremely last minute, all of my vendors worked together to flip the room in quite literally 15 minutes. Not the most ideal situation, but we had guests sit at their tables during the ceremony and set up a few rows for immediate family and the wedding party to sit under the chandelier. We got married right in front of our head table and it was STUNNING!Again, not the most ideal set up, but most venues would not have been flexible and would have kept the ceremony outside. We’re so so grateful that they allowed us to do this and it still looked absolutely beautiful! Another big reason we went with this venue is because of the bar package. When our families get together they like to drink and party so we came in prepared to spend a lot on this with an open bar. We spent more on the venue itself, but it paid off knowing how great their pricing is for the bar package.They also allow open flame candles as long as their is something underneath to catch the wax. This was one of the only venues I could find that allowed this and it made a huge difference for us!We got SO many compliments on how beautiful the venue was and how grand the chandelier was. We worked with Amy throughout a majority of our wedding planning process and she was super responsive answering any questions that we had! If we had to do it all over again, we would go with The Guild again in a heart beat! Reviewed on 22-11-2023

After touring The Guild with Chelsea we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. She was so organized and made us feel at ease.

We could not recommend them more! Reviewed on 17-11-2023

When searching for venues for my wedding I had several things in mind: price, location, aesthetic, staff, and reliability. The Guild hit all of those points and more. From the first time I spoke with the venue coordinator (Chelsea & later Amy) I knew this was the place. After hearing some horror stories from past prides at other venues, I wanted a place and a team that I could rely on. The Guild had so many positive, amazing reviews, and now I’m happy to say that mine is one of those now! My questions were always answered in a very timely manner (and I had MANY of them), my needs always met, and my overall experience a total dream. I was ELATED to hear when Paradise opened their space for small ceremonies, and the Guild was kind enough to let me be the first to get married there, and helped me throughout the entire process. I can’t say thank you enough to Amy, Chelsea, and the entire staff at the Guild that helped make my dream wedding possible. You met my expectations and then said “I can top that”. The only detail I didn’t think through was the amount of bridesmaids I jammed into that bridal suite. I had 6 bridesmaids, myself, and a flower girl hanging out in there and it got a little stuffy. But that was my fault for not thinking that one through. Otherwise,12/10 would recommend getting married here. You won’t regret it. Reviewed on 14-11-2023

We loved having our wedding at the Guild KC and we can't recommend it enough to other couples looking for a venue in Kansas City. The staff there was so friendly, professional, and transparent with everything. Any e-mails we sent to the staff were responded to within 24 hours. Of the other venues that I looked at it in Kansas City, The Guild KC felt unbeatable for many reasons: price, aesthetic, customer service, etc.The building and ceremony area was so beautiful; the interior is designed to combine the old with the new (brick walls on one side, clean/beautiful tile on the other). Of course I can't write a review without mentioning how STUNNING the chandelier is. Would 100% recommend to any couples looking for a venue - you can't go wrong with The Guild KC!

From the beginning everyone at the Guild was so welcoming and communicative. Throughout the planning process they gave us a ton of helpful recommendations and advice and actually helped us find many of our vendors. The space itself is gorgeous and we received so many compliments from our guests, but it truly is the staff that makes this place an incredible venue. Everyone from the coordinators to the bartenders did a wonderful job and made our day so special. I would recommend the Guild to absolutely anyone. Reviewed on 11-10-2023

I would make the choice to have our wedding at The Guild over and over again! My husband and I toured countless venues for our July 2023 wedding, and we immediately knew after touring The Guild that we had found our place. This venue is magical and rises above the rest for so many reasons. The ballroom (complete with exposed brick and stunning chandelier) paired with the one of a kind outdoor garden are the perfect backdrop for an elegant, urban wedding, and there is plenty of space for you to have your entire wedding (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception) in one place. The location in the heart of the Crossroads is perfect, and their partnership with Paradise Garden Club also allows the option to take family portraits in a beautiful, natural setting.Chelsea and her team were the absolute pinnacle of professionalism - they were flexible, kind, communicative, and always made me feel at ease and like our event was a priority for them. These are truly the pros. Every time we told one of our vendors that we had chosen The Guild, they responded with \"That's my favorite venue in KC.\" I think this is incredibly telling - not only are clients thrilled with their experience, but professionals in the industry want to come back here over and over again. Our guests repeatedly told us the ours was one of the best weddings they'd ever been to, and I credit this in large part to The Guild.Book your wedding here. There is nothing else in KC like it, let alone for the price point. Our wedding was the best day of my life, and I couldn't be happier with our experience at The Guild. Reviewed on 17-09-2023

I am SO HAPPY about our decision to have our wedding at The Guild! Our initial visit to The Guild in March 2022 left a lasting impression, and without a doubt, we knew it was the ideal venue for our big day. The sheer magnificence of the venue made securing our desired wedding date in October 2023 a bit challenging. Thus, my advice is to contact The Guild well in advance if you're interested in having an event there, especially if you have a specific date in mind.Our ceremony was in the beautiful garden outback, while the reception was indoors. One of our prime concerns was the potential bottleneck at the bars, as it was something we had experienced at weddings similar to ours at other venues. However, during our cocktail hour/reception, there wasn't a single instance where our guests waited in line or struggled to get a drink. The service flowed seamlessly, exceeding all expectations.I must also emphasize the impeccable coordination orchestrated by Chelsea. Her responsiveness is unparalleled—never once did a response take more than 24 hours, often hearing back within the same day. Her guidance equipped me with all the necessary details, playing a pivotal role in orchestrating an event that was flawless! The Guild operates like a finely tuned engine, adept at crafting an extraordinary wedding experience. I genuinely can't envision a more fitting location for our wedding. It was absolutely perfect!

I can't say enough good things about The Guild. Amy, Chelsea, and Darren were amazing to work with. From the first visit we knew that this was the group we wanted to work with. They are so accommodating and easy to work with. The space just lends itself to the perfect party space with the amazing bar and beautiful chandelier. We chose to have Garozzo's do the catering and the set up for the buffet was just perfect. I'm not sure I've ever worked with a group that was so helpful every step of the way. The Guild is THE BEST!! Reviewed on 08-08-2023

The Guild was the PERFECT venue for our urban/ downtown KC wedding dreams. Not only is it stunning but it has everything you need to have your entire wedding in one place. Their outdoor garden was beautiful for our ceremony, the lobby was spacious but cozy for our cocktail hour, and the main room was grand and elegant for our reception. The staff was so sweet and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. On the day of, they made sure our day was as perfect as we imagined. We cannot recommend this venue enough!

Lindsey Leardi(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 21-10-2022 The Guild is the best wedding reception venue in downtown Kansas City. No, but seriously - we researched & toured a LOT of venues. For the price, you won’t find anything like it in downtown Kansas City. Not only is it a completely stunning, photogenic venue with an outdoor garden space in a fantastic location, but it has unmatched customer service. Chelsea, Darren & the rest of The Guild staff made us feel like VIPs from our venue tour to booking to planning to wedding-day & even after. They were kind, respectful, knowledgeable, responsive & flexible. All of our guests were in awe of the venue and wedding day in general. Many said it was, “one of the best weddings they’ve ever been to,” (and not just to our face). Book The Guild. You will not regret it. Reviewed on 10-03-2023

The venue itself is stunning. Of course, the chandelier was breathtaking. The vibe is perfectly elegant and urban at the same time. We had our ceremony in their garden and it was the perfect outdoor setting in the middle of the city, a quiet garden oasis. But not only was the venue stunning, the professionalism of the team who runs The Guild was top-notch. Chelsea was always on top of things and she made all the coordination simple and easy. I could go on and on but if you are thinking of booking The Guild, don't even think twice about it, just do it! You will not be disappointed. Reviewed on 03-11-2022
Maggie Curran(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-05-2021 Look no further because The Guild is your wedding venue!! I cannot imagine having my reception at any other venue. From the staff to the chandelier, every moment of our experience was perfect. Chelsea helped us from the very beginning with providing vendor recommendations, helping create different displays, and communicating constantly with us in a COVID wedding scene. Parking is so easy for it being a downtown venue. And then coolers with our drinks of choice in the bride and groom rooms were a perfect touch! The day of went off without a hitch and they worked hard to even have the garden open despite a rainy morning. You won't find a more beautiful venue in Kansas City! Reviewed on 30-08-2022

We visited other venues but nothing compared! They were booking up quickly and we understood why! They were so professional and quick to respond to emails. We liked the layout of the space and the bar options they had. We had about 140 guests and a band and there was plenty of room. Everyone raved about our venue and how beautiful it was.

She was quick to communicate, had expertise ready to share on what has worked in the past or what she would recommend, created mock-ups of our ceremony and reception set-up, answered 900 of my questions - she is truly a star and loves what she does. The venue is stunning. It was the first one we walked through and I was sold. The bar is gorgeous, there are both bridal and groom suites, a garden space, an indoor cocktail space, and OMG...that chandelier. The floors are a statement and the variety of walls (brick, wood, subway tile, window panes, etc.) give you plenty of indoor space for all kinds of pictures. Oh - and did I mention reserved parking lots and plenty of bathrooms? If I could do it all again, the only change I would make would be not wasting my time walking through any other venue. Best venue and venue manager in KC - hands down. Reviewed on 15-03-2022

She responded extremely fast to all my concerns, especially in the 2 weeks leading up to the weddig when we were making changes to the guest numbers, layout and seating chart. I truly was never worried about the execution of our wedding because she was so on top of everything. The Guild itself was a beautiful venue and we fell in love with it immediately.

We got married this past September, but we originally planned for Sept. of 2020. The Guild let us hold another date in 2021 while we waiting it out to see if we could move forward with the 2020 wedding. When we decided to postpone, they made everything so simple and were really there for us every step of the way. Our wedding was everything I had hoped for, everything was on time and so coordinated. Having the bar near the dance floor kept everyone in the same place which allowed us to able and see and talk to every guest. It was the perfect venue for a perfect day! Reviewed on 12-11-2021

We used the many different textures of wall for our wedding party photo shoot. The staff was very professional and helped get us through several covid postponements. Also very helpful with the layout of tables and the day of manager was on site to set up and answer any of our day of questions. Reviewed on 16-09-2021

There is no question why this venue is the top venue in Kansas City. For starters, we could utilize two rooms so that our guests were able to enjoy cocktail hour and then they could transition to the main space for dinner and dancing. We had a band, DJ, monogramed dance floor, a whiskey tasting, an ice cream truck… just to name a few. The Guild accommodated every single request we made!

Sarah McConnell(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-07-2021 The Guild is a stunning event space that we used for both our ceremony and reception. We are a couple that had to postpone due to Covid-19, and Chelsea and the rest of the team at The Guild were so quick to communicate everything on their end. They also were quick to respond to general questions, offered and provided helpful solutions to issues, and were just generally wonderful to work with. I believe Darren was the one present for our big day, and he was so kind and offered help throughout the afternoon and evening. The space is stunning, the bartenders were quick and professional, and I'm still in awe of how well everything went. The Guild does have a list of food vendors that they allow, but we still felt like we had enough options (and honestly it made making decisions easier). We weren't planning on investing so much of our budget into a venue, but we spent far less time and money supplying endless decorations to make it what we wanted. You can still decorate a lot if you'd like, but the space can also speak for itself. Overall, we couldn't be happier with The Guild KC for our venue. Reviewed on 26-07-2021

Saying our vows in the garden and dancing the night away with our friends and family under the chandelier. It was truly one of the most magical days of my life and I cannot imagine it being anywhere other than The Guild.There was a chance of rain on our wedding day, but The Guild staff worked with us to ensure that, keeping minute by minute watch on the weather, we could get married in the place we had dreamed of for 18 months.I know I am biased, but it is truly the best venue to get married at. The garden outside was perfect for guests who didn't want to have the dance party inside. There was enough space for our guests to feel comfortable and not to crammed in. I loved having our photo-booth in the main room, because our guests actually saw it and utilized it. (Unlike some venues that are smaller and cannot fit it in the same room) The bar staff was top notch and did everything to ensure that our guests were served promptly and had a great time.

It truly set the stage for the entire event. Every time we visited, I got more and more excited to share the beauty of this place with all of our guests. It is the best Kansas City has to offer. Not only is this venue absolutely stunning inside and out, but the staff are also wonderful to work with. We planned our wedding from out of state, and booked the Guild with only my wife having seen the venue in person. Chelsea and Stephanie went above and beyond to answer all of my questions, as well as providing pictures and videos of the space so that I could truly get the feel for it. That chandelier? Even more stunning in person. They were very quick to respond to my emails and did a great job of keeping us in the loop as things changed throughout covid.

Unfortunately, we were not able to have our big day at The Guild but I have to rave about their support and customer service all throughout the planning process and especially when the pandemic hit. Stephanie was always quick to answer emails and questions that we had and was incredibly accomodating anytime we had out-of-town guests that wanted to see our venue during the planning process (AKA in-laws and wedding party). I cannot thank her enough for all her help! When COVID hit, Stephanie was great about keeping in touch as the situation evolved and when it became apparent that they were not able to host the event that we had planned (because of restrictions), they refunded the deposit we had made with them. I know that this time was incredibly stressful for all, including small businesses and ESPECIALLY those in the events industry, so I cannot express my gratitude enough for their flexibility. I cannot say the same about all my vendors, even though the government was restricting events during our scheduled wedding date. So although we weren't ever able to have an event at The Guild, I would still highly recommend them! They have an absoutely stunning space and they will provide you exceptional customer service.

Their communication and up-to-date emails regarding our wedding and COVID-19 were incredible. Planning a wedding during these crazy times is extremely stressful, and their staff made sure to continuously update us regarding the new restrictions in place. We held our wedding at the end of August, and at that time the 50% capacity restriction had been lifted, but they were doing their part to maintain safety by taking everyone's temperatures before the event and had hand sanitizer on the walls. I was hesitant on the downtown parking especially with having a wedding on a Friday night during rush hour, but they have 3 private lots, signs posted, and security making sure other people don't park there. We heard no issues from our guests regarding parking! We were able to use the outdoor space for our ceremony and the transition into cocktail hour and the reception was flawless. I cannot say enough great things about The Guild!! During our wedding and after we heard non-stop great things about how amazing the venue was. Thank you to The Guild KC for hosting our wedding!

Larry Troshynski(parent)1 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-06-2020 I would be very careful signing an agreement with Stephanie at The Guild. My daughter was scheduled to have a wedding there in late June 2020. It soon became clear to me that in my opinion there was no way to safely hold and event with over 150 people in June. Especially with so many people coming from hotspots like New York City and Seattle. My opinion is based on working in health care for over 26 years and currently working on the front lines of the Covid 19 crisis. We contacted the Guild with our concerns and they offered to book a later date. The catch was you had to book by March of 2021 and it had to be a date that was open. (Mostly just Fridays and Sundays were available at this point). The only way she would return our deposit was if there was a ban in place at the time of our event. As of this writing there is still ban and it looks like there will be. Of course I couldn't wait to see if there was a ban with 150 people coming from out of town. In my opinion it was very unreasonable to ask that we continue to pay money to the Guild to book an event that they can't guarantee will legally happen. In my opinion as an Advanced Practice Nurse I can't understand why a business owner would want to needlessly subject their staff and other vendors to attempt a large gathering of people before we have good treatment options or containment of this virus.

Chelsea Kelly, Manager of The Guild kept everyone calm, made adjustments where needed, & set the stage for an unforgettable day. The venue that evening was truly breathtaking & the service all around was outstanding. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Chelsea extensively as the MOB, as well as the MOG within a six month timeframe. I found her to be wonderful in her role. She was able to pull through the vision of both weddings beautifully, adapt to any changes, and provide valuable guidance & support. I would highly recommend both The Guild & Chelsea Kelly!

Alex Grogan(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-06-2018 Honestly, my wife and mother in law did most of the planning. What I know is that Stephanie and The Guild were easy to work with and incredible the whole time. We had issues with certain vendors along the way, but The Guild was amazing. My friends, who do enjoy some drinks, rave about the bar service they provided. I’ve never seen a wedding with a better open bar. They made us feel comfortable from the first meeting until our wedding. As a groom, you just want your bride and her mom to be happy, and I know they were thrilled with The Guild.

She was incredibly timely with emails, answered my millions of questions, and made sure everything was planned perfectly. The space itself is better than you could ever imagine. The garden in the back is quiet, beautiful, and the perfect spot to get married. The interior was so beautiful we did not need to add any \"decor\". All of the staff were so great to all of our guests. No one ever had to wait in line for a drink, and the bartenders were so kind!

There were zero hiccups. The venue is gorgeous and made the perfect setting for our cozy winter wedding. They had twinkle lights hanging over the back courtyard, which we used to get some great photos. They also have two bridal rooms in the back, perfect to store all bridal party items and for any nursing moms. My entire family is so thankful to have had our reception in their hands.

The juxtaposition of the brick, subway tile, wooden bar and beautiful chandelier make it absolutely stunning. Steph made every part of the process an absolute breeze and gave great vendor recommendations when we asked for them.

In addition to the entire space being STUNNING, they are competitive with pricing, answer emails ASAP, mix up delicious drinks, and are the most helpful on wedding day! Their staff is kind, helpful, fun, and professional! We had a high chance of rain during our ceremony all day, but The Guild team let us wait until last minute to decide if we wanted to move our ceremony inside. We ended up having our ceremony in the garden and it was everything dreamed! Knowing we had a rain plan in place weeks before helped sooth any anxiety we might have had that day. The rest of the night was perfect and everyone enjoyed the night! We also ended up getting almost all of our vendors from their list, and they were all TOP NOTCH. The Guild is the best.

Not only was Stephanie amazing, responsive and helpful, but the venue was breathtaking. My husband and I went into venue shopping with a checklist of items we wanted: a good bar, exposed brick, space for a big dance floor and our guests and I feel like The Guild blew that checklist out of the water! The bar is TO DIE FOR. With majority of our 220 guests being our college and high school friends we knew we wanted a bar that could satisfy that bunch. I cannot say enough great things about that bar!! The exposed brick was a must, but I didn't realize how much the subway tile would bring me to life! It gave the space an elevated and elegant touch. DO NOT get me started on the chandelier. Oh my gosh, that thing should be a Kansas City landmark. Having our first dance under that chandelier is a memory I will cherish forever. Again, Stephanie couldn't have given us a better experience and the space speaks for itself. Brides, there's a reason this place books so quickly! You'd be crazy to not have your wedding here.

The beautiful Chandelier is a show stopper along with the exposed brick and subway tile! And let's not forget to mention that the bar is the BEST in Kansas City! We visited many other venues in the KC area and The Guild KC was beyond the best! One of the big reasons why is Stephanie! She made our whole experience easy and stress free! Her knowledge, kindness, communication and patience and relationship with other vendors is like no other! I planned this wedding for my daughter and now son in law long distance from Nashville and not one time did I have any stress about things not getting done, not being communicated!

He only allowed my husband and I to wait back there, but not our wedding party. It was only for a short time before our entrance.

Signage around the venue made it easy to find, and the eclectic space was the perfect vibe for our wedding. We loved being able to get married in the backyard.

Look no further and book your wedding/reception at The Guild. My now husband and I walked into our meeting with Stephanie, and left with a date picked and a reservation.

Working with Stephanie made everything stress free. She responded to every email in the timeliest manner, and she helped keep me organized. It was such a weight lifted off my shoulders knowing that the venue and the people in charge were 100% committed and there for you. Not to mention, The Guild is BEAUTIFUL.

My husband and I just got married there and (because the place is so popular) even decided to have our wedding on a Sunday night so we could make it official at this gem of a venue. The rave reviews from all of our guests confirmed: The Guild is a stunner!! But beyond the obvious, there are so many more reasons to book this place. I was an out-of-town bride, and planning a wedding long distance was a challenge at times. Not when it came to the Guild. Working with Stephanie was an absolute pleasure. She is organized, detail-oriented, and incredibly responsive. I sent several follow up emails to ask about details and set-up logistics, and always received a timely reply. Stephanie always tried to accommodate our preferences but also told us honestly what would or would not feasible for our event. Another huge plus was the Guild’s list of recommended vendors, through which we found our incredible caterer, rockstar wedding coordinator, and talented florist. We started the planning process by booking a venue, letting everything else flow from there, and I’m so glad the Guild was our starting point because we really ended up with the A Team of wedding vendors. Finally, the Guild’s location was a big benefit for us. With mostly out-of-town guests, we were happy to have a convenient location that allowed everyone to explore KC and hang out in the great Crossroads District for a weekend.

The venue is a perfect blend of romantic and boho styles which perfectly matched the personality of the groom and I. Stephanie, the General Manager, was an excellent communicator and business person. She was flexible in meeting our specific requests. We felt like we received the best value on this venue over others that we briefly considered.

The Guild needs little to no decoration at all with its beautiful interior and glamorous chandelier. Stephanie made every decision super easy and my coordinators loved working with her. The Guild is versatile with its bar packages, garden space and very large hall.

Kate Wenger(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-05-2018 We highly recommend hosting your event at The Guild with Stephanie and her staff. Stephanie responds quickly via e-mail with any questions or concerns, and has a professional yet fun demeanor. Our final meeting with creation of seating and reception layouts was a breeze, payments were easy and clearly laid out, and everything was set up perfectly on the day of. The bridal suite was great for us girls to hang out, have dance parties, and decompress before the big event! The venue was meticulously clean and the bartenders and staff were very friendly to all of our guests. It was 95 degrees on the day of our wedding and we were concerned with guests being outside in the urban garden for cocktail hour, but it was slightly shaded by 6:00 and everyone stayed mostly cool. On that note, Stephanie also handled my very panicked mother beautifully and tactfully. So THANK YOU Stephanie and all of The Guild staff. Our wedding day exceeded our expectations and we received many compliments from our guests. <3 Reviewed on 22-06-2018

The venue space is absolutely beautiful, and the staff was excellent as well. Our ceremony was held in the garden at the back of the venue. We loved having the ability to have an outdoor wedding and indoor reception all at the same place. I worked with Stephanie who met every one of my concerns with solutions and poise. Also, the bartenders did a great job keeping up with my family of drinkers. I received tons of compliments from guests on the venue.

Mary Suman(wedding party)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-04-2018 From the MOB's perspective... The Guild could not have been better!! Stephanie was so easy to work with, prompt with replies, added lots of great ideas to the conversations and very considerate with timeframes. Since there was not a booking on Friday night we were allowed to drop off and set up during the day on Friday which helped immensely! Despite the weather in April on this particular weekend- threatening storms, bitter cold and ending the evening with snow, it was perfect!!! I can't wait to see the late night pictures in the garden with the beautiful lights in the SNOW!!! Amazing!!!Your entire crew was fabulous! They were polite, attentive and quick to serve everyone.

From the moment we toured the space the event manager, Stephanie, was extremely helpful and easy to work with. We had hoped for an outdoor ceremony and had to make a last minute decision. They were very accommodating and made sure we felt great about the ceremony options which we ended up doing inside and LOVED! Every staff person we encountered, including the manager on duty that night, Darrin, was courteous and helpful. They worked wonderfully with all our other vendors as well. They made us feel so special and much thanks to them the event went perfectly! P.S. the bathrooms are huge and super nice which is a huge plus for a large wedding! Reviewed on 26-03-2018
Erin A(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-12-2017 The Guild was a fantastic place for our wedding . reception. The event space is beautiful by itself, but once everything was set up, it was magical. We got married on an extremely cold night so we couldn't take advantage of the garden, but it was still an amazing venue. The bar is beautiful and the chandelier is breathtaking. Stephanie was super easy to work with throughout the process and was very responsive to any phone calls or emails. We got married over a holiday, and she still let us come in and drop off some boxes a few days before the event so we wouldn't have to transport as much on the day of our wedding. All of the staff were great, and the bar was humming all night long. I would 1000% recommend using the Guild and Stephanie, it makes for a beautiful venue and the process is facilitated by such good staff! Reviewed on 24-01-2018
Molly Bower(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-12-2017 My husband and I were married on NYE 2017 and had our reception at The Guild. From day one, Stephanie was super friendly, accommodating and easy to work with... which in the wedding industry is not always the case! She was always quick to respond and gave us straight-forward, honest answers. She also went above and beyond to make sure we could visualize our details in the space when we had an in-person visit. We added a separate bar, a stage, moving tables, a champagne entry - all of our special requests were executed flawlessly. The bar package is the best we found in town, for the best price. Everything about the Guild was just simple and straightforward... there weren't a bunch of ridiculous caveats, rules and restrictions that you find a lot of places. Plus... that chandelier. The space is just gorgeous with a mixture of modern and classic details - it's very easy to build a vision from such a clean but beautiful starting point. The lighting creates a lovely ambiance across the room. We were also completely in love with the large wooden bar in the center of the room. We would get married here again in a heartbeat.

Not only is the venue stunning, but the staff, the bar packages and the amenities were beyond compare. All night and for weeks after my husband and I received praise that it was the best wedding ever and I think that is mostly in part of the Guild. A special shout out to Stephanie who did a lot of the behind the scene work ahead of time to make sure our day ran as smoothly as possible. Go with the Guild...you won't regret it!

Catherine Joseph(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-12-2017 The Guild is THE BEST venue in KC. I have been to so many other venues as a guest, The Guild included, and I knew the moment I attended another wedding there that I had to have my reception there as well. Stephanie was such a pleasure to work with for our December 2017 wedding. She was so organized during the entire planning process which made things very easy - especially since I was planning our wedding from Chicago. Everything from their staff, the bar (!!!), the parking situation, etc. made our day so perfect. We are still getting compliments on how cool the space is. All of our guests had a blast! To any bride/groom who are venue hunting - definitely give The Guild a call. You will not be disappointed! Reviewed on 27-12-2017

Brooke Stark(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-10-2017 We couldn't have asked for a better venue for our wedding ceremony and reception! Stephanie and her team were amazing throughout the entire planning process. Stephanie was quick to answer all of our questions via email, and she made sure that all coordination leading up to our big day was flawless. Stephanie put together a layout for our reception as well as a back up rain plan in the event that it rained during our outdoor ceremony. We ended up having to use the rain plan, but the transition to an indoor ceremony was seamless. We had several guests tell us they never would have known that the ceremony was supposed to be outside (even though chairs were literally being moved inside minutes before guests arrived as a random storm rolled in!). I am a very Type A person who needs everything to be organized and planned out down to the tiniest detail, and Stephanie and her staff beyond exceeded my perfectionist needs! Let's also talk about how gorgeous The Guild is - I mean that chandelier though. My favorite thing about the venue is that a bride could literally walk in, not decorate a single thing, and the entire ceremony/reception would still be stunning. From the brick wall to the awesome built in bar to the trendy white submarine tile, the place is to die for. If you are a bride looking for a KC venue with amazing aesthetic and even more amazing staff, The Guild is the place! Reviewed on 27-10-2017
