We had such an amazing wedding at The Oliver Building. Having the venue for the whole weekend made our weekend run so smoothly. We had our rehearsal Friday night, and brought everything over so we didn’t need to deal with it Saturday. Then got ready in the amazing upstairs suites Saturday morning. We had a great time, and Caitlin was so easy to work with! The only reason I took a star off is that we had some issues with the bar. We made it clear from the start that we wanted to prioritize the bar, and didn’t want long lines. Because of that, they said we would have 3 bartenders, and would batch some of our signature cocktails. Unfortunately, we only had two bartenders, despite giving tips for 3, and there were no cocktails batched. We did have a pretty long line at our bar most of the night because of this. All in all, it was an amazing venue for our wedding!!

This venue was absolutely perfect for our late October wedding! We loved the iconic KC mural, which added a unique and local touch to our celebration. The setup process was seamless, and the outdoor spaces, complete with heaters and a fire pit, created the perfect atmosphere for a cool fall evening. The space easily accommodated our 200 guests while still leaving plenty of room for our photo booth, dance floor, and even a separate area for kids to play. We also appreciated that the venue was wheelchair accessible, making it easy for all of our guests to enjoy the event. The bridal suite, overnight rooms, and well-equipped catering kitchen made everything incredibly convenient and stress-free for us. The only minor inconvenience was that our contact person changed a few times in the months leading up to the wedding, which required some extra coordination. However, everything came together beautifully, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day!

The first time I saw photos of The Juliet, I fell in love a little bit. The gorgeous big windows that let in so much natural light, the white walls ready for any sort of decorating (or none), the intimate size of the space perfect for our dream of an intimate wedding. We had a very long engagement and wedding planning season, so we viewed the space in person a few times before making our final decision. And Laura, the owner, was so great at keeping me up to date on changes and new features over the couple of years we were waiting. She was always ready to answer my questions, listen to ideas, or offer her own ideas. She also did a great job of customizing the space and our package to exactly fit our needs and budget, which I so appreciated. They say wedding photos are one of the only things you truly keep from your wedding day, and I am so glad that The Juliet was and will be the backdrop for our memories for years to come!

The space was super gorgeous. And everything ran smoothly and with grace. They were helpful months before to make sure everything ran with grace. The workers were nice and proactive. Our slideshow was lost and was only on two of the three tvs. The coordinator stayed in her office most of the day and did not come to check in to make sure no one needed anything. Overall the day was gorgeous and I would pick there again. Thank you for making my day so pretty!
