An Award-Winning Venue
Nestled in the heart of Kansas City’s vibrant Crossroads Arts District, The Guild is a premier event venue known for its striking character and versatile spaces.
Originally an automotive warehouse turned art and production studio, this locally owned and female operated venue is the only one to be named “WEDKC’s Venue of the Year twice,” earning the honor in both 2020 and 2024.
The Guild offers a dynamic layout that includes a 6,500 sq ft primary hall, a 5,000 sq ft outdoor courtyard garden, and an 8,500 sq ft collection of refined spaces–including our welcome lobby, loft balcony, two private suites, and the stylish Paradise Lounge. Three nearby lots support our parking needs.
The Guild’s design is a curated blend of fine dining elegance and art gallery style, creating a refined yet moody atmosphere. Polished concrete floors, exposed trusses, and soaring 12-foot windows frame the space, while a dramatic 20-foot hanger ceiling showcasing our iconic 12-foot chandelier. Floor-to-ceiling subway tiles shine, with added character from original brick detailing.
Deeply rooted in its community, The Guild proudly champions local arts, nonprofit initiatives, and cultural events–making it more than just a venue, but a platform for connections, creativity, shared experiences, and celebrations.
