    We'd choose Arterra again!

    Our experience at Arterra was exceptional from start to finish. Even before we locked in Arterra as our official venue, we felt valued as potential clients, as Arterra stayed responsive and worked with us on what our wedding day could be like with them. Our coordinators responded quickly every time, and we had lots of opportunities to plan things out in-person and in-detail with them. And when we inevitably thought of additional questions or ideas, they were always flexible and receptive.

    On the wedding day, staff was on the ground and always available, and we were super thankful to have a day-of event coordinator! There were a couple setup hiccups, but staff pivoted and fixed things immediately for us. The decor and setup was beautiful, with lots of attention to detail (for example, Arterra was so deliberate in lining up ceremony chairs outside by measuring where each row would be placed).

    We also used Maceli's (Arterra's owner) for catering, and the food was delicious! They accommodated dietary restrictions and preferences from our guests, and we heard nothing but positive reviews for the food from our friends and family.

    This venue is perfect for intimate weddings (we hosted about 80 guests), and the natural wood and beautiful details in the space make it so you barely have to decorate. We also loved the nature surrounding the venue, which we used for our ceremony and wedding party photos. If we had to get married all over again, we'd choose Arterra!

    Wonderful People, Wonderful Venue

    We can't say enough good things about Arterra! From the first day we met with them, to the execution of our wedding, absolutely perfect. Mary and her team are great people. Planning our reception was never a worry for us! I absolutely recommend Arterra - if we ever need to host an event, Arterra (or Macelli's) will be the first people I call. To all the people of Arterra and Macelli's, thank you so much for a great wedding!

    Perfect venue

    They were very accommodating and easy to work with. This was impressive in the middle of covid 19 uncertainty. The venue is beautiful.

    Everything about Arterra was absolutely perfect for our wedding! We live out of state and were planning the wedding from afar, yet Aaron and his team made it a piece of cake. He was always extremely responsive and Arterra did so much the day of the wedding. They all made the day as stress-free as possible! They put up and broke down the tons of decorations we brought in. They worked with us to figure out any seating chart snafus and managed to change the linen colors last minute. Hester was an amazing 'day-of' coordinator and managed to keep us calm and relaxed even when we were behind schedule. We got to enjoy the day and were put at ease knowing it was Arterra coordinating with the vendors, providing the food and beverages, and maintaining the schedule of the evening. Our guests continue to rave about the food and general atmosphere of the venue. We cannot say enough good things about Aaron, Hester, and the whole crew there at Arterra!

    Mike is amazing to work with and really knows the job. He was great at taking our ideas and politely made suggestions that made things work so much better. Aaron did a great job as well, making everything perfect, with little stress for us. It was amazing how flawless everything was. We can't say enough about the food as well. Every guest let us know how great it was, and we were overly impressed with it. The entire venue exceeded out expectations and provided a wonderful setting with little stress. Thanks to all at Arterra. Great Job!

    Mike, Aaron and everyone at Arterra was wonderful every step of the way. Being a bride is stressful and there is a lot of planning that goes into making the day everything you want it to be and I can honestly say that choosing Arterra was the best decision I made. They made planning a breeze and were very responsive to emails and accommodating to requests. They aren't in this buisiness just to squeeze as much money out of you as possible. They really are an event buisiness and not just a venue. They want your event to be perfect because it is a reflection on them, and they really care!

    Not only is the venue beautiful and the food AMAZING! All my guests couldn't stop talking about how good the food was and how they aren't used to wedding food being so good! The people also really know and understand the event planning business and will help you though planning and give you their opinion on what works based on years of experience.

    I would highly recommend this venue. I did a lot of research before choosing them and I've been to a lot of weddings and you just simply cannot get this good of service for the price anywhere else in Kansas City!

    Thank you Arterra for making my day perfect!

    Arterra was helpful from day one. I can't believe that every email was responded to so quickly, even on days I knew there was another event or wedding. Mike is so enthusiastic, easy to work with, and a real trouble shooter. The day of the wedding, Aaron listened to every design idea/question and was really understanding. Our attendant that day was Danielle - she went above and beyond and was not only wonderful to my new husband and I but our guests as well. The venue was clean and beautiful. The design and set up was fun to create with the team. They set up everything and loaded my car at the end of the night. I can't tell you want a relief that was. Oh! Did I mention Arterra has some amazing food. My guests can't stop talking about the pork belly appetizers two days later. The alcohol selection was outstanding. I am so utterly grateful to Arterra - Mike, Aaron, and Danielle. Everyone at my wedding is from out of town and I (bride) planned everything on my own. I can honestly, 100% say I could not have pulled it off without Arterra. I can't say enough amazing things. You should check out their website for a listing of what they offer in their wedding package. Also, check out their Facebook page to see some pictures. I highly recommend Arterra - with everything they did for us, I can't believe the cost was so reasonable.

    Mike and Aaron and the rest of the team at Arterra were so phenomenal to work with. I was a very nitpicky bride, but didn't think of everything. They made sure to ask for our opinion on every aspect of the wedding and it couldn't have been more perfect. Since I'm also the type that looks for constructive criticism, I tried to find something to complain about and came up short. The whole event was exactly how I had it in my mind. I can't describe this venue or this team as anything but absolute perfection. Thank you again to Arterra Event Gallery for making our big day so amazing!

    From the moment I walked in to Arterra I knew this is where my wedding would be. They worked with me to help make my day amazing, and went above and beyond to make it the best day possible. No need to hire a wedding coordinator using Arterra because they practically do it all for you! And with all the food being cooked onsite, it was delicious! My guests are still raving about it weeks later and Arterra was extremely accommodating with all dietary requests. A very classy event without the expected high cost. I would recommend Arterra to everyone!

    Mike and his staff helped create the most magical day! We planned from afar and mike and his staff couldn't have been more accommodating, responsive and helpful. They were creative and supportive in helping make very single thing we wanted happen tenfold what we could have expected, from planning to the flawless execution the night of the wedding, they couldn't have created a better experiment.

    Arterra was the perfect location for our wedding reception. The space is beautiful and the patio is amazing. Mike, Aaron, and the wonderful staff set up our day and made our event planning a breeze. Everything went smoothly and was entirely stress free. Loved every minute of our reception and our guests raved about it too!

    My husband and I just had our wedding ceremony and reception here April 23, 2016 and it was all absolutely beautiful! Mike was so generous with us, he definitely has this down to an art. We live in Georgia so it was incredibly important to us to be super organized and efficient with our time. Mike had a list of items to cover and in our very first planning session we were about 80% of the way done already. We did get the opportunity to go in December for our taste testing and it was such a fun night, us and our parents really enjoyed the evening! We had a great time at our wedding and everyone else said they had a blast too. The setup and decorations were exactly what I had pictured and one thing we especially loved was that our arch rental company had set up our arch (not very nicely) but Mike at Arterra quickly had his staff re-do it and even took one of our extra centerpiece's flowers to hang in the middle. It was beautiful and exactly what I had envisioned. Mike and the whole team helped make our wedding day smooth, beautiful, and having them setup and take down was a huge stress relief for us and our families. The food and drinks - phenomenal! Everyone raved about the potato croquettes and the maple glazed pork belly bites! Our signature drinks were delicious and seemed to be a huge hit. We mostly interacted with Mike, Erica, and Aaron and everyone was helpful and listened to what we wanted and immediately did what we asked. Erica was such a sweetheart and helped with our dog who was our ring bearer in our ceremony. Honestly, it was perfect and I don't think either my husband or I could have asked for anything more. Some of our guests did have a tough time with parking, there is a parking lot but it is small. Luckily there is additional parking in the public shopping center across the street but just be sure to tell older folks to get there early! We highly recommend Arterra, you won't regret it! It was a beautiful day and one we will cherish forever!

    Comfortable Mid-sized Venue with Natural Light

    Arterra is not very big but for a mid-sized wedding of 60-70 it's basically ideal. It has a lot of windows for natural light and it has a nice outdoor space as well. The catering is awesome and the staff do a good job! We used balloon clusters with a color theme, wrapped streamers around the pillars and hung up a few ball decorations and that was enough to really pop. Highly recommend the venue.

    Amazing building/ horrible communication

    I was so excited for my wedding day. At the very beginning we got there and I never came face to face with my wedding coordinator. I arrived a little later than some of my wedding party. CONS…….I had to show the cake person and DJ where to go and my coordinator was no where to be seen. At one point it started to rain so my ceremony needed to be moved inside. 5 minutes before my ceremony my GUESTS moved the chairs from their tables to create an aisle inside. I later found out someone named Amy told the coordinator she wasn’t needed at the moment so she never came back.( I had no Amy’s or any names that were similar so I was super confused) I was under the impression that they would talk to me first. You know THE BRIDE. The venue was beautiful and thankfully my mother and her sister did a good job keeping everything on course. I should have paid them instead.The venue called FOUR weeks later asking for the alcohol bill to be paid even though my parents called multiple times with no answer. I talked with Steve. ( I believe the owner) There was also been no apology for what happened just basically it was “my fault” someone told the coordinator they weren’t needed. We had signed a contract but hadn’t paid yet and they tried to change the terms and prices. I guess prices changed for the 2022-2023. we ended up paying for it anyways. PROS….The place was clean and just absolutely stunning. The outside was just as beautiful as the inside. They brought the picture in my head to life. And the Food omg amazing!
