Kansas City’s Most Unique Event Venue
Rumely is Kansas City’s premier event venue, located in the heart of the Historic West Bottoms. This beautifully restored 1880s landmark offers two distinct spaces — the Upper Level for up to 350 guests and the Lower Level for up to 240 — each featuring original tin ceilings, hardwood floors, and full bar service.
Furthermore, the Rumely is the ideal setting for weddings, corporate galas, private celebrations, and everything in between. As a result, it has become one of the most sought-after Kansas City event venues for couples and companies alike. Indeed, no hotel ballroom or modern space can replicate the character and warmth of this historic building.
Additionally, our team partners with local vendors for catering, staffing, and production — so every detail of your event is handled with care. Therefore, whether you’re planning an intimate dinner or a grand reception, the Rumely delivers an experience as timeless as the building itself.
