Recently I had the pleasure to work with Marina renting her space - Upside Bunjee for my special event. The space was absolutely perfect and Marina was able to rent me tables, chairs, and other decorations that made the process easier for me and seamless. Upside bunjee has a unique charm that all my guests loved. The lightning in the space and the wood showed beautifully in pictures (warm & cozy). I had a fantastic experience and recommend the space to anyone looking to have a great event. In addition, Marina and her team are the nicest people, they had my best interest and that made all the difference.

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!!

Our experience first started out with Kayla. Kayla is the Event Operations Manager at The Midland, of which her title should be “The Jack Of All Trades, Event Mastermind”. Kayla is the most kind, knowledgable, helpful, and organized person you will every meet! She had all of the information when I needed it and had very quick replies to any emails or questions that arose through the planning process. Kayla knew the entire venue inside and out and was incredibly helpful not only during the planning process, but during the wedding as well! The venue itself is absolutely stunning! This venue is one that needs very minimal decor because it is stunning all on it’s own. Can you decorate and have extravagant decor? Absolutely! We heard mentions all night abut the stunning venue!

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!
