About

On WeddingWire since 2018

Located in the heart of Kansas City Missouri, UNION is an industrial-chic, blank-canvas venue full of possibilities. You will love the neighborhood, The Crossroads, where UNION is situated; full of boutique shops, one-of-a-kind restaurants, creative businesses, studios and art galleries that attract thousands of visitors each day.

UNION is perfect for all of your wedding needs – from ceremonies and receptions, to engagement parties, wedding showers, and rehearsal dinners.

Facilities and Capacity

The building that is now UNION was constructed in 1929, and was originally home to a film processing center.The space was refurbished in a way that thoughtfully blends the original building's rustic qualities with contemporary design.

UNION has three-levels, including a fully furnished Speakeasy, and features wood floors, brick walls, and rich, neutral colors. Both ceremonies and receptions can be held at UNION, and the venue is conveniently located near a number of accommodations, restaurants, and more.

UNION can accommodate up to 200 guests for a seated reception, and more for a cocktail style event.

Services Offered

UNION welcomes you to choose your own vendors and can provide you with a list of recommended partners.

UNION offers 24 hour rentals so that you can have the venue from 10am on the day of your event to 10am the following day, allowing you plenty of time to set-up and celebrate. Did we mention that UNION is BYOB? So you bring your own alcohol, and we provide the service.

Couples can also choose from a range of decor and services to elevate their celebration – from a photo booth, mobile walls, draping, to a mylar dance floor and more.

Included with the space rental are tables and chairs for 150 of your favorite people, cocktail tables, a fully furnished speakeasy and a client ready room. And UNION is pet-friendly so your favorite fur friend can be part of the celebration as well.

The team at UNION understands how much work goes into a wedding and will strive to create a seamless experience in the lead-up to your big day. You will be provided with a concierge to answer all of your questions about the venue.

Perfect stormy wedding day!

We had the most amazing experience hosting our wedding at UNION. On top of it just being a gorgeous space there were so many factors that really drew us to this venue – the location close to hotels and things to do downtown; the 24-hour rental period; the multi-floor layout (including a SUPER cool speakeasy for cocktail hour – our guests really loved this); the accessibility; the bridal suite and groomsmen get-ready area; there were just so many green flags it was easy to make the decision to book! We also loved the BYOB bar concept, as we had tons of out-of-town family and friends attending (about 90% of our guest list!) and were really wanting to feature our local breweries, distilleries, and wineries; this enabled us to do that where most venues downtown had pre-set bar packages. The rich brick of the building provided a great backdrop for all of our cozy details, and the farm tables tied in perfectly. UNION also made it super easy to rent a few last-minute items that we needed, like pipe and drape and cocktail tables/linens. They also gave us the option to rent a digital photobooth through them, which was super convenient and a lot of fun for our guests! It poured rain the day of our wedding so we didn’t get to utilize the rooftop for bride/groom photos, but had we been able to, we know it would have made for some awesome sunset backdrops.

Allison, our client concierge, was super organized as we approached the day and made sure we knew any final details about insurance requirements, timelines for load-in and -out, security, and so forth. Clay, our bar manager, was very responsive to questions we had as we decided on our bar menu, and was able to provide helpful suggestions on quantities to buy and how to structure our bar timeline from start to finish. Everyone else we worked with throughout our planning period was friendly and helpful, from the venue managers to the staff present on the day of. Overall, we can’t imagine our wedding having been anywhere else – it was such a dreamy setting and the layout (being able to go between floors for each major portion of the event) was so perfect for the flow of the day.

Simply Amazing!

This was a dream venue! 3 floors to use, 24 hour rental and more. We worked with Madison (at UNION) as our coordinator and she was amazing! She made sure everything was taken care of on the big day and took the stress off of me and my family. Prior to the wedding she was receptive, great to communicate with and made me feel like everything was being taken care of! 100/10 recommend
