R. Taylor (Tayloredkc)7 years agoAwesome venue for any event! My sisters wedding was spectacular. Plenty of space and the staff was great as well. Great lighting for pictures. Tons of space for serving food. Make sure to take a look here. The Porter/Collins wedding went off without a hitch.
Nicole Bissey7 years agoNot your average wedding venue! Lots of vintage touches. The building itself is very interesting in layout. The bridal suite is very bright and white which is perfect for hair and makeup. The groom room is very unique and styled so well. The ceremony and reception space ceiling is black, so choose your photographer carefully. Lighting can be tough! My favorite thing about El Torreon is how varied it is- every corner looks a little different, which makes for interesting images.
Emily Anderson4 years agoWhat a gem of an event space! Not only do you get top notch customer service, but you also get a flexible event space that speaks for itself in its own simple beauty. While El Torreon stands by itself in it own unique rustic yet modern style, it also serves as an empty canvas for your own special flair and design. Not many event spaces will allow such creativity! Also, for any history buffs out there, this place packs its own wallop of KC history and culture. With reasonable rates, flexible spaces, and EXCELLENT staff and management to handle your event, choosing El Torreon was the best first decision we made in wedding planning. Would hands down recommend to anyone planning any type of event. PS: Union Station and the WWI Memorial are super close for taking pictures there.
Kim Dyhouse4 years agoWe had our wedding reception here and I would highly recommend booking El Torreon if you're looking to do the same! This is a unique historical but updated venue and their team is responsive and easy to communicate with. We had plenty of space to get ready in and the on-site free parking is a big plus for guests. We had about 75 people in attendance but this space could easily fit another 100+ guests comfortably. There are so many ways to use this space! They have a great cocktail hour area upfront so you could move your guests during a room flip from ceremony to reception. Definitely check out these guys out!
Sylver Wolfy7 years agoAbsolutely breathtaking venue with a staff that is more than willing to go above and beyond what is required in order to provide ultimate satisfaction. Definitely an incredible place all around!
