Longview Mansion

Longview Mansion was the most perfect venue for our wedding — it truly felt like something straight out of a storybook. Every vision I had came to life here. The mansion itself is full of historic charm and craftsmanship, and the surrounding grounds feel both private and grand at the same time. We received endless compliments from our guests about how stunning the space was. Working with Heather, Ashlin, and Dan was an absolute dream. They were so kind, professional, and supportive every step of the way. They answered all of my (many!) questions with patience and care, and made the entire planning process feel seamless. On the wedding day, Ashlin—our venue coordinator—was incredible. She managed the flow of the day perfectly, made sure everything looked beautiful, and handled every detail with calm confidence and professionalism. We are so grateful for her! Longview also made planning so easy with their in-house services and decor inventory. Being able to use their gorgeous selection of décor items took so much stress (and cost) off our plate. We truly had zero issues — everything went smoothly from start to finish. If I could do it all over again, I would choose Longview Mansion a second time in a heartbeat. It was absolutely magical and more than we ever could have hoped for.

I was excited to look into this venue for my wedding. This venue was in the my top favorites until I had to go through all this... Unfortunately I have been reaching out for 3 months and still no reply. We filled out the form to schedule an appointment 3 times, called 2 times and left a voicemail, and even went as far to DM them on Instagram and absolutely NOTHING back, total silence. I thought this would be uncommon for a wedding venue but it appears others that have left reviews has experienced the same lack of communication. It has only decreased my excitement and interest in using this place for my wedding from the complete lack of communication. I have heard great things about this place... but I never expected myself and so many others to not hear back from them at all or that it took leaving a review to finally get an answer. Maybe something is wrong with their website and needs to be fixed but a review left 5 months ago had the same issue I did and it is still being an issue now. Shocked that this is an issue with a wedding venue...

Longview Mansion is an absolutely stunning wedding venue! I've had the pleasure of shooting there a few times, and it never disappoints. The historic charm, elegant architecture, and beautifully landscaped grounds create the perfect backdrop for a timeless and romantic wedding. The staff is always professional and accommodating, ensuring everything runs smoothly for the couple. Whether you’re inside the grand mansion or outside on the gorgeous grounds, every corner of Longview Mansion offers picture-perfect moments. It’s a dream venue for both photographers and couples alike, and I highly recommend it for anyone planning a wedding!

When I tell you I was extremely happy with the location, food, service, everything that is an understatement. My coordinator Ashlin was amazing to work with. She made sure everything moved so smoothly. She texted me the morning of to remind me that today was about me and my only job was to look incredible and be loved on, and I was able to exactly that. They took care of decorating and setting everything up. I am beyond impressed. I highly recommend this place.

We had our wedding at Longview Mansion on 4/29/22. It’s the most beautiful venue! Alex and Heather went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect. We did not have a wedding planner and they took care of everything at the mansion. From helping us plan our day, to decorating/cleaning up, and even bustling my dress. Also, the food was incredible thanks to Chef Chris! Could not have asked for better people to help make our day amazing!

I got married 2-23-25 at The Historic Longview Mansion and wanted to take a minute to rave about how amazing they are. Heather, the manager, is just incredible, and so is the rest of her team. They were so easy to communicate with and handled EVERYTHING. I was able to get the food and desserts at the venue and the food was amazing! They had all the decor I needed at the venue for no extra cost- the only thing I had to purchase was the actual candles to go in all the candle holders. I had no idea what I wanted as far as design goes, and Heather, bless her soul, said she would set everything up for me- and it looked STUNNING. We had both the ceremony and the reception here, and the whole experience was so smooth. Heather walked us through every step and acted as a day of coordinator also to ensure our wedding day ran smoothly! I am forever grateful to Heather and all the crew at Longview and will be recommending them to everyone!!

I cannot recommend this venue highly enough! My husband and I had a combined 40th birthday party there and had the best experience. We searched around to other venues and chose Longview Mansion because we felt it was beautiful, of course, but also had the "best bang for our buck." The staff was amazing to work with. Especially Heather, the mansion's manager, who was so kind and helpful and gave great input. But all of the staff were wonderful and very professional. Again, I highly recommend Loose Mansion for any event! It was beautiful and special and so. much. fun! We loved working with them!

I've been trying to contact Longview Mansion since May. I have yet to recieve any email back or call back. We have filled out forms left voicemails and emailed. Incredibly disheartening as it was a venue we were really interested in and heard great experiences from.

We went to the Longview Mansion tonight (12/12/24) for Sip and Shop. It was a wonderful experience where they open up this historic home. Visitation and fellowship during the holiday season. There were many people from all over town and our little area here in New Longview. My wife and I live is Kessler Ridge, so we drove less than five minutes to get to the mansion. We have been on the grounds many times before, but this was the first time we were able to visit the interior of the house. It is impressive and fun. There were lots of little pop-up shops set up inside the mansion, all on the main floor and then in a tent that extended from a sunporch on the back of the house. That was by far the biggest area to shop. The rest of the little pop-up areas were small and cozy inside the house. The staff was lovely and serving drinks, wine and food. We only had one glass of wine so we could drive home safely. We loved walking around the house, which everyone who attended was allowed to do with no drama and no supervision. Everyone I saw was super respectful of the property. Everyone we encountered was kind. It was a lovely evening. I hope they do it again next year so we can go.

The historic Longview mansion is beautiful! I have been here for several private functions, from quinceanera's to Mother's Day luncheon, mystery dinners too elementary school fun runs! Longview mansion is steeped in local history and has many options for entertaining spaces. The grounds are also beautiful!

This was my first time visiting theFall Sip & Shop event at this beautiful mansion. There were local vendors setup throughout the home. I was amazed at all the talent people had to make and create various items. The home is beautiful. While walking through it, all I could do was imagine how the family lived so many years ago. I was amazed at how each room, on the upper level, had a restroom in it; and it was in its original (if not, close to it) state. I would love to attend this event every year. I look forward to the holiday event that will be held on 12/5/19.

The new renovations are incredible! The Longview Mansion is uniquely historic, elegant, and perfect for any reception. Best spot in the area - no doubt. https://longviewmansion.com/the-gallery/

The Longview Mansion is an absolutely breath-taking place to hold a reception. I attended a reception here in March. The flowers and trees were in full bloom making the surrounding grounds a gorgeous site for pictures. The inside is spacious with a rustic and sophisticated feel. Everyone who provided a service during the reception was very professional. The Longview Mansion is an incredible place to hold a reception.

The Historic Longview Mansion has just completed a multi-million dollar renovation/restoration under the new ownership. We are pleased to have new management and a seasoned staff with 24+ years of event/wedding experience. Our head chef, Cruz Vazquez, is well known for her innovative cuisine and fresh flavors. Our Grand Opening was October 4, 2018. If you have been a guest at the mansion in previous years we invite you back. We would love for you to see our newly decorated space, fine food and service, extensive structural repair and brand new attached pavilion. We are proud of our gorgeous historical space that is newly and beautiful restored.

This review is from the perspective of a wedding guest. Out of politeness for the Bride, Groom and their respective families, I have waited a couple of months to write this review. The grounds are the only selling point. Don't get too close ...it's all down hill. The grounds were attractive and sprawling, but everything else was old, rickety and falling apart. The tables and chairs flimsy and wriggled under even the smallest of guests. I personally tried at least three chairs, before I felt safe to sit without fear of breaking a chair. I cringed with fear when I witnessed other guests sit in the chairs that I rejected. There were bugs in the light fixtures and cracks in the walls, the wood floors were scuffed up and stained. Especially the dining area. The food was inconsistent. Some of the chicken was excellent, while other guest sent back raw chicken. The beef skewers were tough and burnt. My friends pasta dish had a chunk of unmelted cream cheese that was literally 1/4 of an entire block. There was always a long wait at the bar for cocktails, because the trained bartenter left the trainee alone. She was trying, but it was clear that she was just handed a cocktail shaker for the first time 30 minutes ago. It's a long drive, smack dab in the middle of nowhere. The attention to detail was lacking. I will say...this place screams potential !!! This could be an awesome venue! But, currently...it's NOT. Seeing two people exchange vows is awe inspiring. There is nothing that diminishes the chance to share in their joy, but until they correct these problems...I can't in good conscience recommend the Longview Mansion.

I attended a corporate holiday party here recently. The mansion itself is beautiful. The staff was so attentive and friendly. The food served was pretty good too. This is a personal preference but I find that venues with multiple rooms break up the party. I like having everyone in one area so this isn't necessarily my favorite venue. It did get the job done and I thought that having the tent attached to the house was a great touch. Since it's December the weather wasn't conducive to having access to the back yard I can imagine that in the warmer months the tent and house are perfect! Overall I enjoyed my experience there.

I attended a wedding here and I was disappointed in the condition of the mansion. The house, inside and out, was not maintained at all. The staff was overbearing, you had to guard the things on your table. We went to get cupcakes and all of our napkins disappeared, my daughters went to the bathroom and their wedding favor items they wanted to keep were thrown out. The staff appearance is also not what I would have expected from a venue like this, I would expect better than ill-fitting, un-tucked, polo shirts. Overall, this place has incredible potential but is suffering from an obvious lack of leadership and attention to detail.

Longview Mansion, is a hidden treasure in Lee's Summit, MO. I have attended many dinners, events and one Wedding Reception at Longview Mansion; and have never been disappointed for anything while at the Mansion. I am in awe at the beauty of this Wonderful Old Mansion, and at night the Mansion, takes on a very Romantic and warm atmosphere you just feel like you have stepped back in time. It is very cozy inside the walls of this Historical Building; just thinking of all the stories that have been shared inside the walls of Longview, the deals that most likely were made in the Library, or setting on one of the beautiful porches, smoking a fine cigar sharing a glass of Wine, with a guest or business partner. As I have heard said many times "If Walls Could Talk". Recently I purchased tickets to the Valentine's Dinner at The Mansion, Wow! what a night of fun, this by far was the best Event I have ever attended at Longview, the Staff were so attentive to everyone attending, the food was second to none and the Program, was like something on stage at the old Heartland Theater at Crown Center, just over the top. I sure hope this is a new direction The Longview Mansion, is taking, and look forward to many more nights of Entertainment at the Mansion. Hats off to Kristin Nolte, Event Coordinator, at Longview Mansion. Kristin, and her Staff, did a fantastic job at making everyone comfortable, and providing everyone with a lasting memory of the night they had dinner at Longview Mansion. What more can I say? Well just one more thing, Don't miss the next opportunity to have dinner in the Beautiful Historical Longview Mansion......Awesome Place. Thanks Kristin, for making an Evening to Remember. What a Team you have, everyone is so nice and the Meal, served was more then a 5 Star Meal...........way MORE.

I have been working at Longview Mansion for 4-5 years; it has been a job that has gotten me through high school. The staff members afforded me the luxury of a flexible work schedule in order for my education to come first. They have given me support on and off the floor and have provided me with many great opportunities.

i was commissioned for the role of a bridesmaid in a wedding here a year ago and it was truly magnificent! The wedding planner/coordinator had this event flowing as smooth as a wedding can possibly be (as a person with this as a hobby-i understand how difficult a task that can be). Everything was gorgeous! From the well manicured grounds to the reception tent and most of all to the place where the other maids and i were to hide out until showtime-the huge Bridal Room. Some of the other girls and i snuck into the Men's Lair and it was very well suited for the male taste-a classic dark rustic interior w/the faint smell of musk and cigar. i also enjoyed the surrounding area of Longview Lake and the fact that the location is a bit out of the city, but not too troublesome for out of town guests. Not sure of the budget required for these services, but i would highly recommend having your wedding here...or any special event for that matter.

My fiance and I called and set up an appointment with Tucker to view Longview Mansion. I left work early and we drove an hour. No one showed. If this is the kind of show they run to earn our money then I'm glad we let it drop from that day on.
