Melrose Abbey

Make your happily ever after a moment in history at Melrose Abbey, an exquisite, chapel-style event venue nestled in the heart of Kansas City, Missouri. Celebrated as the city's very first Swedish church, with much of its original, early 20th-century architecture remaining, it's a truly breathtaking space for couples looking for a timeless setting to tie the knot.

Facilities and Capacity

Melrose Abbey is the very essence of a masterpiece made modern, and although carefully remodeled over the years, much of its original interiors have been incorporated into the renovation process. Upon entrance is a vast banquet hall with high, soaring ceilings and polished floors that sprawl 24,000 square feet. A 12-foot chandelier sets your sweet "I dos" aglow, as do the pointed, stained-glass windows sitting right above the chapel's street-facing, front double doors. Ceremonies and receptions of up to 230 guests can take place at the hall, and with access to an on-site bar and warming kitchen, you and your loved ones get a chance to wine and dine over fresh cuisine and flavorful in-house beverages. For hair, makeup, and other pre-event preparations, look no further than the glamorous get-ready suites, complete with soft, upholstered lounge furnishings and vanities for maximum comfort.

Services Offered

From lavish soirées to intimate gatherings, the staff at Melrose Abbey host all celebrations and are more than happy to handle rentals, setup, and car valeting. Couples organizing their event at Melrose will also have full disposal of its brand-new accommodations, ideal for memorable overnight stays and out-of-town guests.
