Fiorella's Event Space hosts corporate conferences, breakfast seminars, workshops, galas, weddings and receptions for up to 600 seated guests or 1,000 at a cocktail event. The venue is at 9000 West 137th Street in Overland Park, Kansas, in Johnson County on the south side of the Kansas City area.
Seminars and company events
The venue presents itself as a blank slate, completely remodeled in late 2019. For corporate events, Spaces A to E open into one large hall, while workshops fit in Spaces A and B. Formats listed include breakfast seminars, midday luncheons, trainings, conferences, keynote speeches, evening networking, VIP client receptions and internal culture events. Built-in audio-visual equipment and full technical support come with the venue, so presentations do not need an outside AV company. The events team also handles planning, from concept and budget to entertainment, vendor coordination, décor, photography, staffing, setup and cleanup.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings use Spaces A and B for the ceremony and Spaces C to E for the reception, so guests move from one to the other without leaving the building. Engagement and retirement parties fit in Space A, and the lobby works for holiday parties, baby showers or live music. Galas take Spaces A to E, and the full facility can host concerts.
Rooms and capacities
The building is divided into lettered rooms with names: A, the Candler Room; B, the Scout Room; C, the Paseo Room; D, the Shuttle Cock Room; E, the Kauffman Room; F, the Antioch Room; and G, the Strang Room, plus an extended lobby. Rooms A to E can be booked one at a time or in combination, and the full facility can be hired as one. The maximum is 600 seated or 1,000 standing. The venue publishes a floor plan but no capacity for each room, which the team confirms for each layout.
Catering
Catering comes from two exclusive partners. Jack Stack Barbecue Catering serves smoked meats, sides and desserts and has catered Kansas City events for more than 70 years. Storia Fine Catering, led by an executive chef, offers a more formal, full-service menu. Corporate menus cover gourmet breakfasts, plated lunches and dinner buffets, and sample menus are available from both caterers. Bar options are handled in-house.
History and setting
Fiorella's belongs to the Jack Stack Barbecue hospitality family, which has worked in food and drink in Kansas City for more than 70 years. The 2019 remodel left neutral, adaptable interiors that each client dresses for the occasion, with floral, décor and custom fabrication available through the events team.
Getting there
The venue is in south Overland Park, with more than 500 parking spaces on site, which matters for large events in a suburban setting. Kansas City International Airport is the nearest major airport, about 45 minutes away by car, and downtown Kansas City is about 30 minutes north.
