Evergreen Events

Hello! Has anybody used evergreen events in paola for their venue? Or been to a wedding there? I'm waiting on an e-mail back from the lady regarding the price, they have our date available, which is fantastic. But i'm a little antsy and want to see if anyone has had any experience with them! TIA! :)

    Some of my friends had their reception there.  They were originally from Paola.  I thought the place was very nice.  It had very pretty hardwood floors and there was a nice staircase that the wedding party came down as they were being introduced into the reception.  The food was pretty good, but I don't remember all the small little details.  Are you looking at Paola for a specific reason??  It is a decent drive from Overland Park, but there's not much else in the town to do, at least I don't think so.  Anyway, the place is really nice inside.  HTH and GL!

    They won't tell you their price until you go meet with them. I toured there last fall when I first got engaged. It's gorgeous! They have a huge space, including an upstairs that can be used for the ceremony, childcare, etc. And they cater to your every needs. It would have been my #1 choice if I could've afforded it. What they don't tell you, until you spend a lot of time oohing and awing over all the gorgeous details, is that it's $40/guest just to come to the reception. I think the cheapest alcohol option was beer & wine for $14/guest, and you have to use their caterer, who was a minimum of $20/plate (plus like 30% gratuity, taxes, etc). That was just the reception. I think it was an additional $1000 to hold the wedding there too, but I'm not positive on that price. (Prices may have increased since then too.) We were looking to have close to 200 guests so it was definitely out of our price range. But if you have the budget, definitely check it out!

    Yeah, Evergreen is beautiful but it's definitely pricey... especially for just being in Paola! Here is a site you can look at for reviews and pricing of some different venues... kansas city bio [dot] com

    What cities in particular are you looking at?  We looked at a LOT of venues and I could probably give you some suggestions depending on which area you are wanting.
