The Oliver was great!

My daughter had to convince me to use the Oliver for her wedding, but I’m so glad she did! The facility itself, the time of access we had, and the responsiveness of the staff were wonderful! Caitlyn and her crew are ate best and I would highly recommend them to anyone booking a wedding venue in Kansas City

Attention to detail, magnificent

First off I’d like to say the Oliver building is a fantastic venue for your special day or for a party. Caitlin and her staff did a magnificent job with helping alleviate stress for our wedding. At first glance the price seemed high but after looking at other locations the price ended up being the best value. We had a sort of makeshift destination wedding for our families. We had the venue from Friday at 12 pm which gave us ample amount of time to setup for the ceremony on Saturday, we staged a table to show Caitlin and her staff how we wanted the dinner tables organized. Then when Saturday rolled around Caitlin took charge of making sure the vendors came in and everything went fluid. After the party was over we still had the building the next day to go pick up our decorations grab the leftover food and drinks instead of rushing to get everything packed up like most other venues do in KC

The only venue that matters

If you’re looking for a venue, look no further. This is the most beautiful building that’s ever been built, and the perfect size for moderate to large weddings. Not only is the venue itself stunning, but Caitlin and the team were instrumental in the planning and execution of the wedding itself. You could not ask for more kind and helpful staff. The best decision we made wedding planning was picking this venue.
