What makes The Pearl different from all-inclusive wedding venues in KC?
Besides our chandeliers and killer sunset backdrops? We give you space to breathe with multiple venue options and complete privacy. No city chaos, just pure wedding magic.
- If you’re still stuck on banquet barns, ballrooms, mansions, chapels, or downtown wedding destinations in the KC area, explore The Gatsby on Oak, The Everly Event Space, Pilgrim Chapel, The Oliver Building, Magnolia Venue, or The Kansas City Hotel.
Can the Grand Hall really fit 250 people comfortably?
- Absolutely! The Grand Hall comfortably seats 250 guests with plenty of room to mix, mingle, and dance. Our layout includes space for your dance floor, buffet or food stations, and the all-important guest tables. Plus, the open-concept design with vaulted ceilings makes the space feel even more expansive.
What happens if it rains during my outdoor ceremony?
- If the weather crashes your outdoor ceremony plans, we seamlessly transition to either our covered pavilion or our stunning Grand Hall. The best part? Both backup options are just as gorgeous as our outdoor spaces.
