About

Imagine hosting your special day in the backdrop of a 1927 art deco building where some of the greatest jazz and rock and roll singers have performed - a place that has brought people of different ages and backgrounds together for nearly one hundred years. Now that's history!

With every El Torreon event - whether a wedding, graduation, bar mitzvah, business seminar, or an arts and entertainment event - we provide a stunning backdrop that will meet a wide variety of needs. This includes our stunning facility, comforting amenities and services, photographers, sound equipment and all of the details to make your day the most memorable possible.

Simply put, we keep the main thing in the spotlight and invite you into the nostalgic history of El Torreon.

After all, your day is all about... well... YOU!

WEDDING PACKAGES AND DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST

We are committed to making your special day memorable, stress-free, and affordable. We offer multiple event packages that suit a wide variety of needs. We don't claim to do it all for you, but we provide clear options that allow you to breath just a little easier. Unlike other venues, where you merely get a room, we affordably provide the venue, helpful staff members, a sound system and technician, in-house photography and make-up, and clean-up after the reception.

Of course, you can always select rooms and services via our "a la carte" pricing, but our wedding packages are a game changer for newlyweds, which allow you to focus on what matters - each other.

Exquisite venue

Chris is a amazing manager. The place is absolutely beautiful and spacious. They offer assistance and have items on hand you welcome to use free of charge. Worked with this amazing team a yr n a half. Whenever we had to get in they were willing to open no problem. They offer the linens and have a very understanding heart and open to willingly help. Very exquisite look and our wedding was a royal wedding and they offered us just that a royal look

Mother of the groom

This venue space gave a beautiful spacious opportunity for a dream wedding and reception. The bridal suite and groomsmen pool room enhanced the special day.
Every amenity fit our hopes .
The jewel of El Torreón is Chris. He is creative, skilled, super responsive and attentive. He created custom arches, lighting, table setups, buffet line and A/V .
He even helped us orchestrate a surprise appearance from Santa!
I highly recommend this place. It’s got it all.

Excellent Space and Helpfulness

We just had our ceremony and reception at El Torreon and it was absolutely fabulous! I can't say enough compliments about Chris, the event coordinator. He was well organized, hard working, easy going, friendly, responsive to my wife and I as well as others who were involved in the planning and most of all... really understood the importance of our wedding day and was invested in it going as great as it did. We really felt his happiness for us and his wish for us to enjoy the whole day.
The space itself was lovely once decorated (which they helped a lot with) and large enough to host our 160+ person event that included a ceremony, cocktail and snack hour in a separate room, a dinner and raucous dance party. I'm sure it could host many more. It was also a bargain at the price.
They allowed us to make all our own decisions about how to utilize the space including: bringing our own food and drinks which helped us save a ton of money. There was also a separate suite for my wife and her bridesmaids to get ready in and a room for the groomsman to hang out and play pool in before the ceremony. Both rooms were perfect fits for our wedding party.
We highly recommend it.

Large space, great staff

Chris was the best to work with while planning the wedding, and was also so generous. He went out of his way to get to know us and everything was set up as we asked for. I remember he even helped us set up, even though that wasn’t in his job description. This venue is the perfect size for large weddings, the bride/groom rooms are perfect, and the staff is wonderful. Highly recommend.

Perfect Venue

El Torreon was the perfect venue for our wedding! Chris helpful throughout the planning process and was on-site the day of our wedding to make sure everything was in order. The space itself was beautiful and required very little additional decorations. Would highly recommend!

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.

Very happy!

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.

10/10 Recommend El Torreon for a Wedding Venue!

Working with El Torreon was amazing! Chris was extremely helpful and always very responsive to the many questions I had leading up to our wedding. 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!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
