Let's talk bridal suites...

This is where your wedding party can get ready for the day, do final touch-ups to hair and makeup, and safely store their personal items during your ceremony and reception. Here at the Oliver Building, Kansas City's historic events venue, you'll get to enjoy our stunning, vintage-inspired bridal suite, lux grooms' suite, and spacious family suite for your loved ones to relax in while the party is getting ready. Each suite includes a refrigerator for snacks and a safe to lock up any valuables you may want to store.
