About

On WeddingWire since 2010

Kansas City Marriott Downtown is a hotel wedding venue located in Kansas City, Missouri. Boasting a number of upscale event spaces, the venue is overflowing with elegance, opulence, and refined charm. A terrific place for hosting your ceremony and reception, there is room for both large celebrations and intimate affairs.

Facilities and Capacity

With several different spaces for you, your significant other, and the extended wedding party to avail of, you will be spoiled for choice upon your arrival at Kansas City Marriott Downtown.

Celebrate your memorable wedding ceremony at Barney Allis Historic Lobby where you can say ‘I do’ in polished surroundings. Here, stylish light fixtures hang from the ceiling, wall-fitted mood lighting casts a warm glow around the room, while elegant wooden decor lends a refined glaze to the room. Chiavari-style chairs can be arranged for your guests, while you and your partner can exchange vows at the head of the room in front of the marble fireplace.

The Imperial/Colonial Ballroom measures 17,040 square feet, making it perfect for an extravagant celebration. Crystal chandeliers glint and sparkle overhead, while everybody takes in the magical surroundings of marble columns and intricately styled flooring. An ideal place for hosting the wedding-day meal, the room can also be separated into several smaller spaces. This means that more low-key events can bask in this room’s splendor.

The Count Basie Ballroom can also be separated into multiple spaces, while the interior is equally beautiful. Boasting 15,080 square feet of room, it makes for a great reception space.

I had the best experience with the Marriott and cannot say enough good things!

Catering: I was on a semi-tight budget and they really bent over backwards to provide me with a good menu option that was delicious and fit in my means. Their coordinator, Pex, made the entire experience - from the tasting to the actual day - a seamless process. On the day of the wedding, the food turned out better than I could have imagined. It was served hot and I received numerous compliments on how this was one of the best meals they had ever gotten at a wedding reception. I highly recommend the Kansas City Marriott!

Reception Location: I rented out the Muehlebach Lobby which is a unique event space. I was looking for something a little historic and different than the usual hotel ballroom - and this was the place. I felt like it had an old hollywood feel (even though it was smack in the middle of the country). Pex , their coordinator, again helped me transform this room into the perfect space and laid out tables so that there was enough room for all the guests, a substantial dance floor, and room for a photo booth. The room didn't feel too big or small. I loved it and the entire experience there was perfect.

Wedding Planning: Pex is their wedding coordinator. She did an amazing job of helping keep the reception organized. She worked with the chef to provide a great menu, took care of laying out the tables, DJ, dance floor, etc, and was extremely flexible when I wanted to change my mind. She was always really responsive and helped make the reception stress free. Thank you Pex for making our reception so great!

I don't even know what to say but WOW!!!! Eric and I's wedding reception was flawless! There is not one negative thing to say. The overall organization and setup was amazing! Pex, the event coordinator that we were so lucky to work with, was on the ball and had every detail taken care of! I was a little nervous about a kitchen being able to serve our party of 350, and another party of 900 just across the way, and keep the food quality while keeping it warm. but the kitchen staff at the Marriott Downtown really has there stuff together, because everyone raved about how good the food was! The room was beautiful, the service was impecable and I would reccommend anyone for any event to use the Marriott Downtown as their venue! Thanks Pex!!!! Lots of Love, Eric & JoLynne, KCMO
