The Best Downtown KC Rooftop Wedding Venues
There’s nothing quite like being on a rooftop in downtown Kansas City looking back at the city. Somehow, it just makes you fall in love with the city a little bit more, and makes you feel that much more young and alive. When it comes to downtown Kansas City wedding venues, one thing is for sure: If the venue has a rooftop, that ultimately elevates it above all of the others. Especially if that rooftop has great views of the downtown skyline. Even better, if that rooftop has a big enough space for you to have cocktail hour, or even your ceremony or reception on it.
Today we’re sharing the top 5 best downtown KC Rooftop wedding venues, and have even thrown in a few honorable mentions because the photo ops are just too good to pass up.
