What is the story behind The Martin Event Space?
The Martin Event Space is one of Kansas City’s most historic venues, with a remarkable story of resilience. Originally built as a church in 1890, it became a symbol of hope in 1957 when the Ruskin Heights Tornado devastated Martin City. While nearly every structure around it was destroyed, the church, with its newly added basement, sheltered over 30 people and stood as the only building to survive, giving hope and faith to restore our community.
Today, The Martin is a full-service wedding and event venue focused on making your day amazing without all the stress. From coordination, décor, and floral services to setup and teardown, tables, linens, catering & beverage service, weekend rentals, and more, our team takes care of the details so you can focus on celebrating!
We’re passionate about quality, especially when it comes to food and hospitality. Our in-house kitchen prepares delicious, made-from-scratch food, while our beverage team creates everything from classic favorites to creative signature cocktails. At The Martin, you’re not just renting a space—you’re choosing a team that genuinely cares about your experience and is here to make your wedding day seamless, memorable, and truly yours!
