$800 to $6,000 / Wedding
Where timeless beauty meets a space built for celebration. Set alongside the historic Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception at 12th and Broadway, the Bishop Hogan Center offers something few Kansas City venues can: the grandeur of one of the city's most beautiful sacred spaces, paired with a versatile, modern event space. At the heart of the venue is Fr. Donnelly Hall, a generously sized room with modern lines and sweeping city views that hosts everything from weddings and galas to meetings and presentations for up to 320 guests, with a connected gathering area ideal for cocktail hours and pre-function receptions. Behind the scenes, a full catering kitchen, in-house A/V, and an on-site coordinator keep everything running, so your focus can stay where it belongs — on your guests and the moment. For couples on the threshold of marriage, we offer a truly singular experience: exchange vows beneath the soaring, vaulted ceiling of our stunning Cathedral, then take your first steps as a newly married couple across the glittering glass bridge into Fr. Donnelly Hall. From weddings and galas to conferences and celebrations of every kind, we'll provide a beautiful space and attentive on-site coordination, so your event unfolds with ease.

Recommendations

Gorgeous Venue — An Eventective User
I hosted a Breakfast in the morning and Prom in the evening. I couldn't have picked a better space. The views were stunning, the Bishop Hogan Center was absolutely gorgeous. The lighting was perfect. And Regan, the Bishop Hogan event coordinator, was nothing short of majestic. You should host whatever event you have planned next at the Bishop Hogan Center.
