We had both our ceremony and reception at The Century and we couldn't have asked for a better venue!! Great communication and assistance with the staff leading up to the day and during the wedding itself. We got so many compliments on how beautiful everything was and that was with minimal decorations. They helped with setup and took care of all our vendors, showing them where to go, we didn't have to lift a finger on our wedding day. Truly wonderful service, a beautiful space, and I can't recommend them enough!!

The Century helped us plan and execute the perfect wedding day! The space is beautiful and ready for personal touches. The staff love to help bring visions to life and are always ready to get creative. Our coordinators, Katie and Lea, were wonderful! Katie helped us feel ready during the preparation phase and Lea's day of coordination made our day run flawlessly. We recommend the Century to all of our newly engaged friends!

    What do you love about The Century? The Century's contemporary industrial space serves as a blank canvas for any vision. While it allows every event to be different, every event here is infused with an energy of celebration, momentous occasions, and positive vibes. What's your favorite type of event and why? Weddings are my favorite! I love love and celebrating the love of others. What song gets you on the dance floor? After a few cocktails, it's definitely "Lil Boo Thang" by Paul Russell. What do you like to do outside of work? I enjoy walking my two mini dachshunds around Grandview, boating/camping, exploring the outdoors and local metro parks, and shaking hands and kissing babies.

it felt like a good size of space, and our guests have said they loved it as well. It was easy to fill out required forms, and to understand what else needed done to bring in other vendors for the event. Set up and tear down was straight forward, and the night-of staff was great to work with, too.

rfect for our big day. She was like our wedding fairy godmother! Communicating with Arleigh and Roberta was a breeze. They always got back to us super quick and were super helpful.
