Nestled in the heart of the Crossroads Arts District, our event space is a hidden gem that seamlessly blends rustic charm with modern elegance. Housed in a beautifully restored historic building, our venue boasts a unique blend of vintage and contemporary elements, creating an atmosphere that is both inviting and unforgettable. The exposed brick, textured walls, and original plaster add a touch of authenticity, while handcrafted artisan furniture and century-old reclaimed fir window seats provide warmth and character. Our Italian-glass string bulbs add a romantic ambiance reminiscent of a charming Italian alleyway. Complemented by a cozy Bridal Room and a dapper Groom’s Room, our space is thoughtfully designed to cater to every detail of your special day.
One of the standout features of our venue is the breathtaking view it offers. From our third-floor vantage point, guests can marvel at the stunning Kansas City skyline, which glows beautifully at dusk and twinkles enchantingly at night. The new performing arts center and the iconic TWA rocket ship are just a few of the sights that add to the allure of our location. Situated on a vibrant block of West 18th Street, our venue is surrounded by an eclectic mix of boutiques, restaurants, galleries, and shops, enhancing the overall experience for you and your guests.
Beyond our event space, The Bauer building is a vibrant hub of creativity and inspiration. Spanning three stories, it houses artist studios, galleries, and creative-inspired services, including photographers, retail boutiques, an urban garden store, and even a clock-maker. This dynamic environment enriches the atmosphere, making The Bauer a perfect setting for hosting events that are as unique and inspiring as the building itself. The synergy between our venue and the creative community within the building ensures that every event held here is infused with a sense of artistry and innovation.
Ultimately, our passion for hosting events shines through in every detail of our venue. We take immense pride in offering a space that is not only visually stunning but also deeply meaningful for those who choose to celebrate their special moments with us. Whether you’re planning a wedding, corporate gathering, or any other event, our venue promises to deliver an experience that is as unique and charming as you envision. At The Bauer, we believe that every bride deserves a setting that reflects her unique style, and we are dedicated to making that vision a reality.
