About this venue

We are so much more than a traditional venue. We’ve combined an all-inclusive approach with an experienced award-winning team to give our clients the opportunity to design and enjoy their special occasions, stress-free. In 1907, the Loose Mansion was masterfully designed by Ella and Jacob Loose to host Kansas City’s most exquisite affairs. Today, this fully restored mansion with a remarkable history is still home to the most elegant of evenings.
