The Loretto is a perfect blend of ancient elegance with contemporary features- from the gorgeous marble stairs at the entrance, to the magnificent chandeliers and columns in the ballroom, plus the finely decorated bride and groom's suites- this area has it all! The space is arranged well, with a separate room for the bar and food buffet line. Additionally, the outside space is equally wonderful-especially with the circular driveway and splendid architecture of the building that creates amazing photographs. My husband and I stayed in the on-site honeymoon suite which was neat, roomy and comfortable-perfect after a long day!The preparation and the wedding day went without a hitch, all thanks to both Nora and John who were excellent to work with and highly professional event coordinators. They are laidback, attentive and VERY patient. Nora and John are the ideal group and we couldn't be more pleased with our experience working with them.We also employed Nora as our day-of coordinator and she was a MASSIVE help throughout the day. Nora worked ceaselessly in the background and did it all with a smile. I highly recommend her for your organizing requirements!~Mary & Ben Dreiling more ... hide ...

My wife and I just got married at The Loretto and couldnt be happier with how everything turned out We chose The Loretto because the price was reasonable falling right in the midrange of the venues we researched and because we really liked having bot My wife and I just got married at The Loretto and couldnt be happier with how everything turned out We chose The Loretto because the price was reasonable falling right in the midrange of the venues we researched and because we really liked having both a chapel and a large reception area onsite ie no need to send people outside or to a holding area waiting for a room to be reconfigured Our wedding had around 190 guests for those wonderingnnDuring the planning process we worked closely with John to make sure that every detail was just right He was very proactive about coordinating timing and other details with our vendors John was also good about quickly returning calls texts and emails We could tell early on that he was looking out for our interests and didnt see us as just another event on his calendarnnLast notes on the planning process but maybe the most important 1 John pulled some strings and got us into the venue for setup starting on the Thursday prior to our Saturday wedding which gave us plenty of time to focus on our rehearsal dinner and enjoying ourselves on the morning of our wedding and 2 John did not ask us to clean up or gather our things before leaving after the reception instead telling us to go enjoy the rest of our weekend and to return on the following Monday These two accommodations made a huge difference in how our weekend played outnnAs for the day of the wedding itself everything went perfectly John directed traffic with vendors and guests which allowed our immediate families and bridal party to focus on just enjoying each moment He somehow managed to be in about 10 places at once which was really impressive Our vendors included a food truck a string trio and a live band and we never had to answer a question from them because John and his staff were on top of it The bartenders which John contracted with were also great The line at the bar never got out of control even with our 160 adult guestsnnOverall 100 recommend The Loretto to anyone who wants to get married in the WestportPlaza area in a beautiful 100 year old building that happens to be on the US National Register of Historic Places The venue has a very interesting history as well more ... hide ...

I could not think of a better place to have my wedding than the Loretto. This venue is a comprehensive source for everything. I had initially wanted to have the ceremony outdoors, but you can't control the weather, and it rained on our special day. H I could not think of a better place to have my wedding than the Loretto. This venue is a comprehensive source for everything. I had initially wanted to have the ceremony outdoors, but you can't control the weather, and it rained on our special day. However, we didn't have to leave the premises for almost two days, since the Loretto is so inclusive. The rental options added to the convenience of the event, with Airbnbs and Honeymoon suites, along with bridal and groomsmen suites. The location was clean and accommodating to all of our guests, and the fact that it's situated on one of the most popular streets in Kansas City added to the atmosphere. The chapel had a special aura due to its history, and what really made the decision for me was the bar. The layout was roomy and the dance floor was ideal for the celebration. Nora and John, the co-ordinators, were the best in the city. I cannot express enough how pleased I was with the Loretto, and I hope that the pictures capture some of the joy I felt on my wedding day. more ... hide ...
