Absolutely Wonderful!

This is such a unique venue in downtown KC because of the rooftop terrace, central location, affordability and event coordinators. We did an extensive search and none of the other downtown venues compared. The rooftop terrace and indoor reception space allows you to have the entire event in one location. The venue is in a great part of downtown, within walking distance to hotels, bars and restaurants which was nice for our out-of-town guests. Heather and Kelsi are FABULOUS, very organized and make you feel like family. They coordinated delivery/set-up with my vendors and kept me on track during my wedding day which eliminated the need for a day-of-coordinator. They are able to provide a lot of complimentary decor which allows you to cut costs. The catering is in-house and is absolutely delicious! Their pricing is also very reasonable compared to other downtown venues. We are SO happy we had our wedding at Terrace and will recommend them over and over again!

Incredibly supportive staff

For starters, Kelsi & Hannah were absolutely incredible to work with from start to finish. They helped us every step of the way on planning and made the stressful process of planning a wedding so much easier for us. Then on the actual wedding day, they went above and beyond for us. We were having a rooftop ceremony and it started downpouring right before our scheduled ceremony. Instead of making us move the ceremony inside, they saw that we could wait 30-45 minutes for a break in the rain and opened up the bar early so our guests could have drinks and mingle while we waited out the rain. They didn't have to do any of this but it ended up making the day that much more special for us. We can't thank them enough for making our wedding the best day of our lives!

Simply Amazing!

Emad and Heather were extremely helpful, accommodating, and over all pleasant to work with! It was so convenient that they were there as coordinators as well to help our day go smoothly. Any small problem that we had, they were able to come up with a solution. It was also so nice that they several rooms full of decor left from previous brides that were able to use — ranging anywhere from plate chargers to a gorgeous flower wall. The venue itself was also perfect (and better than our last venue that ended up closing 4 months before our date). Everything from the food to the views was top notch for such a great price. I definitely recommend booking the terrace on grand!

Nothing compares to The Terrace!!

Being in the industry myself as a professional Makeup Artist I know very well the importance of hiring professionals for the big day! Everything went perfect under the supervision of Emad and Heather. If something didn't go as planned they made sure I wasn't informed and stressed out. This is what professionals do!! Neither the bride or the groom have to worry about anything during their big day. Emad and his staff were absolutely professionals, they took care of EVERYTHING, including providing us a timeline for the event, helping the other vendors to run everything smoothly, giving directions to the guests, and so on. I also have to say that Emad has a great sense of beauty and he is very well organized. Nothing is left to chance when it comes to The Terrace on Grand!! The view from the rooftop is amazing, the main room is so elegant and classy, yet modern. I don't think there's any other location in the area like this one. Yes, it's on the pricey side but considering the service provided, from coordinating the event, to the food, the open bar, the linens, and much more, was worth every penny! I would love to get married here again!!! lol

Effortless Wedding Day due to Flawless Service, Attention to Detail, and Caring Staff

The staff at the Terrace on Grand are second to none. Heather and Emad made wedding planning so easy. Heather especially made sure our wedding day ran SO smoothly, my husband and I never had to lift a finger or deal with any difficulties. The venue is gorgeous and unique, and that rooftop is to die for!! They were so professional and attentive, we could not have asked for a better experience. The food is great too, and the price is an incredible value for everything that you get and the customer service you receive. We would recommend Terrace on Grand to anyone!

Magica day at Terrace on Grand w/ Emad!

Terrace on Grand is an intimate and beautiful place, surpassed only by the amazing staff.

Emad and Heather (and the TOG team)night felt like pure magic, all because of your attention to making sure we were stress-free on the most important day of our lives. From helping set up the flowers, to setting up the table in honor of my parents, to Chris remembering the groom didn’t like onions and bringing out a separate salad, they TOG team truly took the time to listen and make such a surreal experience.

Emad and Heather thank you for prioritizing human connection above all else, you are thoughtful, kind and a joy to work with!!Thank you for being patient, clear, accommodating and making our dreams come true!!

Wedding/Reception

The Terrace on Grand is Top Notch! Our wedding/reception was absolutely amazing. Not only is this venue turnkey with it's elegant ballroom, it's rooftop views showcase downtown Kansas City. The staff was impeccable and I cannot say enough about Emad and Maggie. They both were so helpful throughout the entire process. They nailed it. They thought of every detail and always shared ideas. Our guests are still talking about how good the food was and how they loved the ambiance of The Terrace on Grand. I highly recommend this venue to anyone for any event. It was truly the best day of my life. ~ Emily E.

Perfection

I don't even know where to begin....everything about the Terrace on Grand was AMAZING!! Literally from the time we initially toured the facility until after our wedding, Maggie and Emad were wonderful. They went above and beyond to make sure no detail was left out. They completely eliminated any need for a wedding planner. We had our ceremony on the rooftop and our reception inside. The view of the city from the rooftop is awesome and was a great setting to be able to show off KC to all of our out of town guests that had never visited before. The inside is beautiful as well and was just the look we were going for! They even had a room full of decorations available to use at no additional charge, which was awesome. The food was fabulous and the service during the reception was top notch. Maggie and Emad made the entire process a breeze and made me feel 100% at ease on the day of our wedding. There was nothing they didn't think of. They truly go out of their way to make sure that everything runs smoothly (and on time)! I highly recommend Terrace on Grand to anyone getting married or hosting any other event! I am so glad we chose Terrace on Grand for our wedding and loved working with these two!

Booking Terrace on Grand was hands down the BEST wedding decision we made! Words can never express how perfect, worry-free, and a dream come true our wedding day was. Not only did we LOVE our day at Terrace on Grand, but our guests have been raving about their experience as well. While on our honeymoon, we had many guests send us messages about the different aspects that they loved about our wedding (all thanks to Terrace on Grand) -- whether that was the view, the food, or how smoothly the evening ran. Emad and Maggie took excellent care of us which ensured that we had the most time to celebrate with our guests. Additionally, the food was absolutely delicious — Chris is an awesome chef! As for that spectacular rooftop view, along with their first-class staff, there is no other venue downtown that compares. We are so incredibly grateful for Terrace on Grand (Emad, Maggie, & staff) for how perfect and problem-free our ceremony and reception was. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!
