Endorsements
"There is not enough room on this page to say all that we have to say about these wonderful people. We have worked with them or in their space at least 20 times, so our recommendation does not come without experience. Their staff is unmatched. Their food is amazing. They are kind and considerate and they run a tight ship. I look forward to working in their space or at their events. I feel at peace and at home there. Some would argue that Feasts of Fancy is expensive. That would only be true on a very base level. I suppose you could argue that steak is more expensive than hamburger, but why would you? It takes a great deal of time to produce excellence, and premium materials costs more. If you evaluate FOF on their quality of product, you'll find that they are a tremendous value. True, they don't do a lot of chicken fingers and artichoke dip, but is that what you want at your wedding, anyway? "

I can not say enough about The Hobbs Building as a venue and Feasts of Fancy as a caterer! One of the best decisions that we made with regard to our wedding is to host the ceremony and reception at this venue! The service was UNBELIEVABLE! Planning was a breeze with the help of their coordinators; they made sure we had thought of everything and worked so hard the day of the wedding to make sure everything was perfect. Some of the staff even helped me pin my dress as one of the seams had ripped during the reception. They made sure my husband and I had everything we needed with regard to food and drink and even pulled me aside later in the night to make sure I had a snack and could cool off. We have received MANY compliments on the quality of the food. The caterers are AMAZING! They took a family recipe of an Indian dish and made it perfectly! The creator of the recipe even said it tasted exactly like hers. I would recommend this venue to anyone for any event. It is truly worth every penny and probably more! The service and quality that you recieve will make your day a perfect one! The venue is unique and gorgeous at night and you won't get better catering in Kansas City!

The location was just what we wanted--not too formal but a great look and feel! Picking here also made it easy cuz they are the caterer. And they are terrific. Everyone loved the food. One of our desserts was macaroons dipped in chocolate. Soooo yummy! After the tasting we had some reservations but they incorporated what we wanted much better than we could have hoped.

We worked with Denise who was just as nice as could be along with Kathleen and Andy. Everyone was very accommodating.
When we walked in prior to the ceremony the room was perfectly set--they even put out our table numbers that were sitting there off to the side. Everyone also loved the room. While the location is a bit out of the way, it was definitely worth it. Just be sure to send directions with your invitations.

The food is so good, I'd seriously consider hiring them to just cater an event even if that venue wasn't right for the affair!

The is a unique urban event space tucked away in the west bottoms. Although it is a bit difficult to find, this gem is worth the trouble. The large high-ceiling room is a much more casual atmosphere than hotels and other swankier looking venues. This is just a nice warm spot. We had our ceremony as well as sit down space for a buffet dinner. They quickly turned the room while we passed appetizers and opened the bar!

This venue is booked through Feasts of Fancy who also have their catering kitchen here for all their catering jobs but also has this great event space. While Feasts of Fancy is listed under caterers, since Hobbs isn't listed for ceremonies and receptions I wanted to get it added so more will discover it. The people are delightful to work with. Interesting square tables are used here and that in itself was fun and different!

They also have a dynamite outside venue for ceremonies (and receptions) in nice weather. Unfortunately our December wedding prevented us from using this. But we have a lot of smokers so we set up propane heaters outside along with some tables and chairs.

Feasts of Fancy at the Hobbs building was more than I could have asked for. The food was top notch, gormet and delicious. I am still craving their famous crackers, coffee and pasta that we served. Our reception was at the Hobbs building and the staff was unbeatable. I am still getting compliments on what a wonderful diamond in the rough that event space is and on how incredible the food is.

The staff was so attentive and made the evening run smooth without a worry. There isn't anyother venue that I'd use!!!
