When it comes to finding the best event venue for your company holiday party in Kansas City, there are several things to consider: Can the event space accommodate your guest count? What type of venue aesthetic would work best with your theme? What features in a venue are needed to make your event unique?
UNION is a top venue in Kansas City for holiday parties, but our staff recognizes that it may not be the best fit for all organizations. Details such as size, budget, location and availability are all considerations when looking for the perfect venue for your company’s holiday event.
As you dive into party planning, start by looking through our list of unique ideas for an office holiday party. From there, decide whether you’re looking for an intimate venue, or a space that can accommodate larger events (casino night, anyone?). Either way, we are here to help you find the best, most luxurious space in Kansas City for your banquet. If that’s UNION, then great! If it happens to be somewhere else, we have some great recommendations.
1. Boulevard Brewery
If your colleagues enjoy craft beer, consider hosting your holiday party at Boulevard Brewery. Located in downtown Kansas City, Boulevard offers both intimate and larger spaces, up to 3,600 square feet. The brewery provides first-class amenities such as tables, chairs, and audio-visual equipment along with the fun atmosphere.
Schedule a private tour just for your company, and then head to one of their private event spaces for dinner (work with the outside caterer of your choice), and a full bar with beer, wine, and soft drinks.
2. Chicken N Pickle
For a unique holiday gathering, initiate some healthy competition between coworkers and head to Chicken N Pickle to play pickleball and enjoy delicious food.
The Kansas City Chicken N Pickle location features six indoor and outdoor event spaces, and can host groups of 20 to more than 1,000.
The property includes eight pickleball courts, full-service bars and on-site catering. Conveniently located near downtown, teams of up to 12 people can choose to also rent the Chicken N Pickle Van to arrive in style!
3. UNION
