Oliver Building should be your first choice!

The Oliver Building is an exceptional wedding venue that exceeded all of our expectations. From start to finish, the owner, staff, and venue coordinators were incredibly communicative and dedicated to making our day absolutely perfect. Their professionalism and support made the planning process seamless and stress-free. The Oliver Building is simply breathtaking. Its architectural beauty requires minimal decor — every detail enhances the elegant ambiance rather than needing to transform it. I’ve yet to come across a more picturesque venue in Kansas City.

The perfect venue!

We held our wedding ceremony and reception at the Oliver Building and I can't recommend it enough. Curtis, Caitlin, and the entire team were a delight to work with. They make everything super easy and we got compliments from many of our guests about how beautiful the venue is. They continue to make improvements to the venue and event services, but even without those, it would be a five star experience. I love that the team is more concerned about your experience than profit, and they genuinely care about you and your guests. This is a must-see venue, and perfect for any event!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
