ABOUT

You’re the BRIDE and we’re THE BAUER, and we’re meant for each other! We have a charming, vintage style space on a unique block with an incredible top-story view of the Kansas City skyline; and we know you’ll love it here. In 1894, The Bauer Machine Works Building began manufacturing engines, buggies, wagons, and surreys. Now, our building features galleries, artists’ studios, art-inspired retail and services and, of course, our one of a kind event space. You’ll love this Crossroads neighborhood, and the street car is just a hop-skip-and-a-jump one block away from our front door. We’d love for you to be a part of our creative family, and we can’t wait to talk to you more about your wedding!

REVIEWS

We would absolutely recommend The Bride and The Bauer for any couples looking for the most intimate wedding venue. My husband and I love the rawness and the warmth of the event space. The ambiance of the Edison light bulbs with the KC skyline backdrop, made for the most romantic New Year's Eve wedding we could have asked for. The Parlour space for cocktail hours and the getting ready suites were also so well done. Beyond, the amazing space, we could not have worked with a better team. Emily, Lauren, and the entire event staff are exceptional. They made us feel so special from the first tour to our wedding day. Emily was always quick to respond to any questions I had and really helped me ease my wedding day nerves during our final walkthrough meeting. She also has a wealth of industry knowledge and guided me through vendor recommendations as well. All of our guests were truly wowed by the venue. We are so happy we went with The Bride and The Bauer for our wedding!

We loved the Bauer for our wedding! The Bauer hour was helpful and having access to view the space was clutch. They have a well established rental routine where we knew exactly what to expect. Their packages are very clear into the point and their communication is very efficient and effective. The spaces themselves were absolutely beautiful and being able to run the lounge space, the furniture, and the bride and grandma‘s rooms really made the experience special. We were our own DJ and the sound system was great as well as the ambience throughout the evening being able to control the lights. After looking at nearly a dozen venues across the metro, we found the the Bauer was a great balance of beautiful accommodations and affordability.

The Bride and the Bauer was the absolute perfect venue for my daughter’s wedding/reception. The location is in a cool art district and is central with hotels and restaurants/bars close by. The bride & groom dressing rooms were comfortable, charming and fun. The parlor was perfect for cocktail hour and the main reception area is gorgeous with beautiful lighting and a fantastic view of the KC skyline. The staff was very professional, incredibly accommodating and so KIND! The entire day was stress-free and magical! I would highly recommend this unique & beautiful space. My daughter loved every minute of her special day!
