From the reviews
There is a reason The Guild continues to be voted the best venue in KC. Their knowledge and connections in the area are unmatched. The space is gorgeous and can be transformed into anything you can imagine. I worked with Chelsea throughout our planning, and she was incredible!
As a seasoned wedding photographer, I've had the privilege of capturing the magic of countless celebrations in various venues, but The Guild has left an indelible mark on my professional experience. This hidden gem deserves nothing less than a glowing 5-star review.
The Guild was 100% venue of my DREAMS and Chelsea was the cherry on top. You could not ask for a more helpful venue manager! She was quick to communicate, had expertise ready to share on what has worked in the past or what she would recommend, created mock-ups of our ceremony and reception set-up, answered 900 of my…
The Guild is a stunning venue & owned & operated by the kindest humans! Chelsea was always an absolute joy to work with & truly the best in the business. Katy is amazing as well!
Getting married at The Guild by MAiA
The Guild by MAiA comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the garden at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — a garden that glows at golden hour in June can look very different at noon in March, so ask what's in bloom for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move, and does it hold everyone?), shade and bugs for a summer afternoon, the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular garden dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at The Guild by MAiA
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at The Guild by MAiA — garden venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
