Hidden GEM in KC - An Eventective User from Kansas City, MO

Cellar 222 has a very nice reception space, centrally located in downtown Kansas City MO. We chose this venue for a number of reasons but mostly how Steve listened, was very attentive, and helpful to share how the venue could bring my wedding vision to reality. Don't let the word "cellar" leave you with a preconceived notion of a dark space. The natural light during our daylight wedding was exceptional & created great lighting for the photographer. Many decor props are available to use. No hidden charges, nice bridal room & refrigeration available for your catering & beverage items. This is a venue that needs consideration! Thank you Steve!

Literally a dream venue for a dream wedding - An Eventective User from Raytown , Missouri

This venue is perfect. Steven was so easy to work with and the venue was surprisingly affordable, especially when you consider what all you're getting for your money. I will definitely be recommending cellar 222 to anyone I know getting married in the future.

Perfect wedding - An Eventective User from Kansas City, MO

Wedding day was 10-21-23. It was perfect. I fell in love with the space the first time I saw it and when I met Steve I was sold. He was so great to work with and took very good care of us. Our day was absolutely perfect and I couldn't have asked for anything better. Steve, thank uou for your kindness and calmness. I didn't stress at all the day of our event. The entire day was perfection and no bride and groom could have asked for anything better! Love Erin and Steve!

We were thrilled with our Wedding at this Exquisite Space! - An Eventective User from Spring Hill, KS

We got married on Oct 20th and were ecstatic with this gorgeous space and owner Steve and all his help! Our wedding was fabulous and our experience with Steve and his support and calm, helpful demeanor helped make our day even more special! The beautiful furnishings, exposed brick and stone, lightning and overall cozy, elegant vibe were the perfect compliment to our wedding day ! Steve made us feel like family and we were thrilled we chose his venue to celebrate our wedding. I can't wait to get our pictures and relive the beauty of our wedding day! We plan to be back for another event in the future! All the stars for Steve and Cellar 222!! Jennifer and Tim

Wonderful Venue - An Eventective User

Cellar 222 is a beautiful space, perfect for a small to medium sized wedding. We had our wedding reception at Cellar 222 on 9/29/23. We reserved the ground floor and the bottom floor; the bottom floor being used for the dinner portion and the ground floor being used for our cocktail hour, bartender and dance floor. Steve (venue owner) was an absolute joy to work with throughout our planning process, all the way to wedding day. He made sure that we were coordinating with vendors and keeping all parties informed of the timeline. Additionally, he helped set up the space on the big day, and made himself available to address any questions/concerns that we had. Would gladly recommend Cellar 222 as a venue for any event.

The perfect day! - An Eventective User from Grain Valley, MO

We cannot say enough great things about this venue and is owner, Steve. The venue itself is beautiful and requires very little as far as decorating. Our guests loved this place. Steve provided up front pricing and communicated clearly every step of the way. We ended up having our rehearsal here the night before and he accommodated every request we made. The day of, we literally worried about nothing. It was handled! Pro tip: use vendors from his preferred vendor list and you will have a hassle free event. They know their stuff!!

Amazing Venue! Highly recommend!!!!! - An Eventective User from Overland Park , Kansas

Wonderful Venue - An Eventective User from Overland Park, KS

Best venue and experience! Steve is so easy and great to work with. Very accommodating and will work with you on any decisions. The venue is absolutely beautiful, lots of space for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready with easy parking across the street. Super clean with lots of decor already there for your wedding.

5 out of 5 stars - An Eventective User from Overland Park, KS

I had my wedding at Cellar 222 and loved it. Steve did a great job answering all my questions. He had amazing recommendations that I went with and it was the best day of my life. When I texted or emailed Steve he was quick to answer and made me feel at ease. I highly recommend using Cellar 222 for your event space!

Everything and more!! - An Eventective User

After an amazing wedding in Mexico, we wanted an all out celebration reception! Cellar 222 was the perfect! Steve helped with everything and made it extremely easy! I am not great at planning so it was great to have someone who knew what they were doing!!

Amazing venue - An Eventective User from Gladstone , Mo

Cinco de mayo/Star Wars wedding. It was easy to book, very friendly, amazing bridal suite, awesome kitchen for the caterers and spectacular set up for the bartenders. A stage for the bar and a beautiful fireplace for ceremony. Nothing but an awesome experience, the owner will help with any questions and even called the linen company for me because they couldn't get it together! We had an unforgettable experience here with Steve

Made for a Magical Day - An Eventective User from Kansas City , MO

We can not say enough great things about the venue and it’s fantastic owner Steve. Every step of the way Steve was punctual helpful, easy going, and made fantastic recommendations for local vendors. On the day of the wedding Steve was with us for pretty much everything, happily helping to resolve any issues with decor, vendors or managing our family. The venue itself is a show stopper. All our family and friends loved the space. Doesn’t require really any extras. Tables, chairs, speaker system all top notch. Do plan ahead for street parking depending on the time of your event.

Beautiful & Charming space for a wedding & reception - An Eventective User

My husband and I just got married here and I can’t recommend it enough. Great location, beautiful architecture & interior (we honestly didn’t need many decorations at all because the space was so gorgeous on its own), loved the bridal suite, plenty of parking & the vibe was exactly what we wanted for our special day. It was my dream venue and I’m in love with it. Steve, the owner, is amazing to work with and was so helpful the entire way through. He made us feel comfortable & informed from the very first meeting. He was very accommodating & was there every step of the way. They also work with a lot of great vendors that they recommend to you. We couldn’t have asked for a better person & venue to work with on our special day! Thank you Cellar 222, we would highly recommend this venue for any special occasion!

Great place for wedding and reception! - An Eventective User from Overland Park, Kansas

Steve (the owner) was so great to work with. He was quick to respond to my initial emails asking for details about the venue and all my questions throughout the planning process. He provided so many good tips and made us feel very relaxed about the wedding process. We visited the venue several times before the day of our wedding and Steve was great at answering our questions and helping to plan everything out. On the day of the wedding, he sent me a text letting me know everything was set up and ready to go and it was a relief. Our wedding was great and we got so many compliments on Cellar 222. It is so naturally beautiful so there wasnt much extra decorating for us to do. Overall, a beautiful and great venue. Such a great experience and I will continue to recommend to those looking for wedding venues.

Beautiful and Unique! - An Eventective User from Overland Park, Kansas

Cellar 222 is an absolutely beautiful space. For our small wedding of only 15 guests, we wanted a venue that didn't feel cavernous, but was large and elegant enough to fit the special occasion. While this venue can hold a lot more people, its layout and Tuscan wine cellar decor made it feel cozy and intimate for our ceremony and reception. In fact, the furniture and decor along the walls are so beautiful that we didn't need to bring many decorations of our own, which was perfect since we were trying to keep our day as easy and low-stress as possible. The owner, Steve, is AMAZING. He is so kind and easygoing, and we knew the moment we met him and saw the venue that Cellar 222 was the way to go. He recommended great vendors that frequently work with the venue so the planning process was a breeze, but we also appreciated the flexibility of choosing our own bakery for the cake. Overall, I am SO glad that we chose Cellar 222 for our wedding. I felt so pretty coming down the staircase in my dress to walk down the aisle, and everyone loved the reception that followed and kept talking about how beautiful and unique the venue is. Thank you, Cellar 222!

Amazing venue!...5 stars across the board! - An Eventective User from Kansas City, Missouri

We used Cellar 222 for our wedding reception in March of 2023. We hosted a cocktail style reception with a full bar, heavy hors d'oeuvres, and a 6 piece band for slightly over 150 guests. We had a lot of people in the space, yet it never seemed too crowded. The two floors allowed our guests to spread out and created some separation for those that wanted to dance the night away with the band upstairs (shout out to KC All-Stars) and those who wanted to spend the time talking in the more subdued downstairs. It was an amazing evening and we could not be more happy with Cellar 222. Steve did a great job of supporting us and giving us advice along the way. The venue is beautiful and needs no decoration, although we added a few just make it extra special...including lots of candles! From the moment we walked through the space for our initial tour we knew it was the right spot for our event. Aside from the venue being turnkey ready some of the definite benefits of this venue is the flexibility you have to use outside vendors. We opted to use several of the preferred vendors that Steve provided us and they too were awesome to work with (shout out to Top Shelf Bartending, Dutzel Catering, and Sugar Beats Bake Shop). Additionally, as a gay couple we are always very attuned to how welcoming the vendors we worked with seemed in the process. Not all businesses are as open minded as we would hope and it was import to us to work with people who are supportive of our tribe. From the start Steve was awesome to work with and it was definitely apparent he was a supportive ally. We honestly have not one concern, complaint, or issue and highly recommend Cellar 222! Cellar 222 is beautiful, affordance, flexible, and in a great location with lots of parking for guests. You will not be disappointed!

Absolutely love this place!!! - An Eventective User from Blue springs, Missouri

Cellar 222 was such an elegant and intimate venue for our wedding. I felt like a princess. We did not have to use alot of decor because the venue was such a beautiful space. Steve is such an amazing person to work with and he made sure that all my needs were met. He gave me great ideas and he was so easy to communicate with. I received so many compliments about the venue choice and how beautiful our wedding was.

Whirlwind Winter Wedding - An Eventective User from Kansas City, MO

We couldn’t be more grateful for Steve and Cellar 222 for making our 4-week, whirlwind wedding planning process a reality! My husband and I are expecting a baby boy in the spring, and decided after many years together that we would, in fact, like to get married and throw together a wedding prior to the birth of our son. A quick Google search connected me with Steve and Cellar 222, and within a week of being engaged we secured the venue and got to planning. Steve was communicative and helpful throughout. His recommendations and preferred vendor list made the process easy and affordable. We had an intimate ceremony and dinner by the fireplace, followed by a larger party upstairs complete with DJ and open bar. We could never have imagined how well, beautiful, and FUN it would have turned out, and would not have been able to pull it off without Steve. Would recommend again and again, especially for a cozy, winter party like the one we had. Thank you, Steve and Cellar 222!

Great rehearsal dinner for 90 - An Eventective User from Prairie Village

Our Rehearsal Dinner for 90 fit perfectly into the Cellar 222 two-story layout. We were coached by the owners to use their recommended bartenders with great success. The food vendor, one of the area's best BBQ caterers provided our guests great ambiance, food and drink in an chic urban setting. Everyone raved about the convenience to downtown, free parking and unique, Tuscan decor. Scott and Steve both helped with our planning, providing many options for setup. GaryG
