Union Hill Event Hall

I recently held my wedding at The Masquerade Event Hall and I am totally thrilled with this venue. This is the perfect place for a small, intimate gathering, and is a blank canvas for projecting all of your own ideas, colors, and themes. The venue is the most reasonably-priced space in Kansas City (barring you don't use someone's backyard...). It's in a fantastic location just down the street from Martini Corner (easy for everyone to go there for the after-party!). There is an enormous kitchen at your disposal; chairs and tables are provided; the hall has many windows that filter in gorgeous light; there are hanging lanterns; and the hall is also decorated with twinkle lights. The high ceilings make the space seem grand and impressive, while maintaining a sense of intimacy.The owner, Lord, is VERY easy to deal with. He had impeccable communication and was willing to meet with us several times to figure out the layout of the space, the sound set up, anything! He allowed us to use whatever caterer we wanted at no additional cost, provide our own alcohol and bartender, use our own security, etc. Our wedding was very DIY and Lord allowed us to really save on our budget by using our own resources.I would HIGHLY recommend this space as a wonderful venue in Kansas City. There are only two reasons why I'm not giving it 5-stars, and that is because I believe the sound system could use a minor upgrade; and because the bridal suite is a little lackluster (although there are plans to build a new suite, I'm told!).All in all, a wonderful venue that I believe I am beyond fortunate to have discovered!!

Don't let first impressions fool you. It's a gem. The staff is fantastic, the space is beautiful and simple. It morphed quickly from a pink and white wedding to a Halloween reception, and looked fantastic for both. It's reasonably priced and the owner, Lord, was very flexible and willing to work with us on scheduling, set-up, etc., even when I underestimated time we needed on the day of. They set up the table and chairs, flipped the room for us, and provided the linens we needed. We paid additional to have them bus tables and do the cleanup for us after, and were amazed by how fast they work! We used our own sound system, so I can't speak to that. If you have a large wedding party (I had 4 bridesmaids), you'll be pretty cramped in the small Bridal room. However, it is literally a 3-minute walk to two nice hotels, so moving back and forth was extremely simple, and I didn't have to worry about how my guests would get home safely. There was also plenty of parking for those who drove.I would absolutely recommend the Masquerade!

very personable people. true to what they have to offer. friendly. The space is great. Had a blast for my wedding reception.
