As warmer months approach and weddings resume, I’ve been working on updating my original Ultimate List of Wedding Venues in Kansas City with updates, new venues and current information. While researching, I discovered that while there are a couple of articles and lists that include a handful of “best rooftop wedding venues,” I couldn’t find a complete list of Kansas City rooftop venues anywhere! So, I decided to take a slight detour and create one ultimate list of rooftop venues for all the Kansas City skyline loving couples out there!

Below, you’ll find a list of every rooftop wedding venue in Kansas City that I could find and research, as well as a few just outside greater Kansas City. I’ve included the basics about each venue, as well as a brief description of the vibe and pricing key as of this posting.
