Our Rich History

The Martin Event Space boasts a rich history dating back over 130 years. Originally built as a Methodist Church in 1890, it became a vital part of the Martin City community. In 1957, the Ruskin Heights Tornado, one of the worst Kansas City has ever seen, unfortunately hit the church along with nearly every other building and home nearby. While the devastation was great, the church was able to save the lives of 30 people who had sought refuge during the storm. With it being one of the only buildings still intact after the destruction, the church quickly became a beacon of hope to restore Martin City.

In 2015, the building was converted into a beautiful venue, and that’s exactly how The Martin Event Space was born! Through extensive yet mindful renovations, we retained some of the original building materials, including our beautiful wooden arches that run up our walls and meet at the center of our 17-foot vaulted ceilings. Today, The Martin Event Space stands as one of Kansas City’s most historic and chic venues. With the building’s unique history and timeless beauty, it offers an unforgettable setting for any event!

What People Say About Us

My wife and I had our wedding on 04.20.2024. Rachel and her team are nothing short of spectacular! She is THE most down to earth human to help with event planning. She listens to what your vision is, and makes it come to life! Absolutely gorgeous space, and we were lucky enough to enjoy the newly renovated Bridal Suite. We have zero regrets about holding our wedding here. 10/10 ⭐
Lauren Crum
The Martin is an absolutely stunning venue! The historical aspect alone is alluring. I have been to a few events here and have thoroughly enjoyed myself. The new owner, Rachel, is awesome and an absolute pleasure to work with. She has some great ideas for the future that will continue to bolster its already phenomenal venue. Don’t miss an opportunity to use the Martin for your upcoming event!
Ayla McClain
Having been a wedding planner for hotels in my previous life, and delivering 100's of wedding cakes after that, all I can say is that Rachel and the entire staff out did themselves. Being part of the bridal party that helped set up the venue as well as the wedding cake baker, I had the opportunity to work with much of the staff there and everyone was friendly and very helpful. The venue is clean from top to bottom, and that is saying a lot from this clean freak! The food was amazing as well! They went above and beyond in my opinion to make it a magical day for my niece and now nephew! Thank you again for all you did!

So my fiancée & I own a DJ service called DJs By Design & we were there Saturday March 23rd for a wedding reception to DJ & let me TELL YA we had a BLAST. From dealing with the NEW Owner to her staff & even the photographer Jami EVERYTHING went off like a hitch, smooth, creative & fun. The couple even wanted karaoke for extra added fun. Unloading equipment there is VERY easy, the staff as well as the owner was asking us if we needed anything. AMAZING place to host ANY kind of an event for sure. Thanks again for taking care of us & a GREAT time.

Lovely mid-sized event space! My husband and I attended a wedding reception there this weekend. It was the perfect size for the ~100 guests. The neutral colors and layout really is the perfect blank canvas for an event. Depending on the table linens and decor pieces the space could really be made into whatever you like!
