The Midland was everything we could’ve hoped for and more in our wedding venue! We wanted somewhere that was in the heart of downtown that was fully decorated and full of history, and that would display the beauty of Kansas City to our guests. Our guests raved about how gorgeous, fun, and unique the venue was! Aside from the main theater being the perfect backdrop for the reception and having the space for the biggest, best, most fun dance floor, the lobby was also perfect for our cocktail hour! The entire place took our and our guests’ breath away.

The team at the Midland made the planning process such a breeze - Katie was so warm, encouraging, knowledgable, and knew the answers to questions we didn’t even think to ask! Kayla was so much fun, so calm, and we knew we were in the best hands having her be our point of contact on wedding day. It was so encouraging to us that the Midland team was so well-connected within KC, as our vendors were so excited to work with them. The band loved getting to play on the gorgeous stage, and the Midland team provided a light tech and sound engineer!

Our top 3 favorite moments from our wedding that couldn’t have happened at any other venue:
1. During the cocktail hour, we got to have a private champagne toast with our bridal party in the Chandelier Bar. It was beyond beautiful, and such a perfect way to take a breath with our best friends between the ceremony and reception!
2. We surprised our guests with a grand entrance onstage, bursting out from behind the curtains! As people who have attended countless concerts at the Midland, it was a blast getting to go backstage and have our rockstar moment!! (We were also way too excited that we got to be in the talent’s greenroom - we got to use the same restroom that Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan have used!!!)
3. The Midland staff, the band, our photographer, and our day-of coordinator created the most amazing surprise for our guests. After taking a group picture on the dance floor with all our guests, the curtains immediately lifted to reveal the band, who started playing, and no one left the dance floor all night!! It was the perfect way to kick off a night of dancing!

The Midland will always hold such a special place in our heart - they made our wedding day all that it was and more!

The Midland is, without a doubt, one of the best venues we’ve ever worked with. The standout feature? The incredible staff. Kayla, the Event Operations Manager (and truly a master of her craft), made the entire experience seamless. She’s kind, knowledgeable, organized, and always quick to respond to questions or emails. Kayla’s expertise and familiarity with the venue were invaluable throughout both the planning process and the wedding day.

As for the venue itself—breathtaking. Its beauty speaks for itself, requiring little to no extra decor, though it can easily accommodate more elaborate designs. Guests couldn’t stop raving about how stunning it was all night!

This was just the most beautiful venue we looked at for our wedding! And they remodeled before our wedding and made it even more beautiful. Missy was very adaptable when we wanted to bring in our own wine or change the beer selection. It's an absolutely gorgeous space that you would love for your wedding!

We were thrilled with our decision to book Midland Theatre for our wedding reception. The staff was wonderful. We can't wait to attend concerts there in the future and be reminded of our fabulous, magical wedding reception with all of our closest family and friends. The beauty of the venue cannot be beat in all of Kansas City!

We were thrilled with the bar service, as well as the look of the photo booth. It was fun to design the Gobo display on the curtain, marqee sign outside, and looping photo slideshow on the monitors spread throughout the venue. There are many beautiful areas for photos. We did our wedding party photos there, as well as the bridal photos. We were even surprised how many gorgeous spots our guests found to take pictures, too. The parking situation and hotel availability was great. The wedding party was able to do a happy hour at the Chandelier Bar. It was fun for the wedding party to walk through the underground tunnel and get announced on stage. The Midland staff has a secure area for wedding party's personal items.

We didn't want a reception in a trendy loft-like space. We were going for classy, timeless, and elegant and this venue more than fits the bill. All in all, it's just hard to beat having your wedding reception in downtown Kansas City in a historic, convenient, breathtaking location.

Katie Schillare is a true gem when it came planning our wedding reception at the Midland Theater. Katie and the Midland staff treated us like rock stars from day one! Not only is the Midland an amazing venue that transports you back in time, it is completely up to date and relevant to our current technologies. The wait staff never allowed for an empty glass and our guests raved about the food. Katie didn't miss a beat when cued with the important parts of our itinerary and all of our guests went home with great feelings and exclamations of "one of the best weddings they every attended". Thank you Katie for your impeccable consistency and continued enthusiasm for our special day.

I was reaching out to get a estimate for the venue space with the estimated guest quote and they responded quickly and with tones of valuable information. Just wasnt in our budget.
