questions

When hosting your ceremony at The Grand Hall, we include a 1-hour wedding rehearsal in the cost of your rental. We ask that only those in the wedding party or anyone required to rehearse attend the rehearsal. Our bar is not open or accessible during rehearsal time and we ask that guests do not bring outside alcohol into the space. Exceeding the 1-hour scheduled time could result in additional charges. Rehearsal dates are booked within 90-days of your wedding date and are subject to date availability.

1 extra hour of event time is included in all ceremony packages as well as any set up, breakdown, or moving of tables during the flip of the space while your guests enjoy cocktail hour on the 2nd Floor Mezzanine. Your ceremony layout can vary based on your guest count and our team will work with you on creating the perfect set up to for your big day! Please see the pricing list for more details.

Yes! All of our couples are given a 30 minute photo session up on our 31st floor Beacon Lounge with rooftop access. You are welcome to do this photo session at any time during your event. We do limit the number of people who are able to go up to the rooftop to the couple, the photography team, the videography team and the Wedding Coordinator. Please ask your Event Lead for more details.

Although we highly recommend using one of our preferred caterers, you are allowed to choose a company not on the list. This will incur a $2,000 outside catering fee. We’ve constructed our list with the best caterers here in Kansas City who exude professionalism and have proven to work well here at The Grand Hall. Any outside caterers are subjected to the same requirements as our preferred caterers and must schedule a meeting with The Grand Hall staff before being booked by the couple.

Of course! We have worked with many talented special event professionals, however, we offer more personalized recommendations, rather than just providing a list. Please ask us about any recommendations or special offers vendors would like to extend to our clients.

All bar services are provided in-house. The Grand Hall has a bar manager on staff to provide you with customized packages. We offer competitive pricing, licensed and trained staff, and several drink options. We do not allow any outside alcohol to be brought into the venue at any time.

All vendors, guests and decor must be out of the building by 1 hour post event. If vendors, guests and/or decor is not out of the building by 1 hour post event, the client will be charged an overstay fee.

Yes. The Grand Hall at Power & Light is a historic building that has recently completed extensive renovation. We require your décor assist us to keep the building as is. All decorations must be placed and removed without leaving any damages.

Restricted décor items include, but are not limited to: taper candles (without casings), bright colored rose petals, rice, bird seed, glitter, potpourri and other similar items. Any structure such as a chuppah, tent, canopy, installation, etc. must stand independent of the venue itself. The Grand Hall does not allow drilling, nailing or mounting of any kind.
