Why choose a banquet hall near Kansas City?

Central location

Arguably the best reason to book a banquet hall near Kansas City instead of in Kansas City is the central location for your guests.

As the most populous Kansas City suburb, many guest attendees hail from Overland Park, Kansas, and other Kansas City suburbs just over the state border. Overland Park Convention Center is a fantastic event venue for residents of both Missouri and Kansas, and there are a lot of local amenities within OPCC and in the area.

Compared to downtown KC alternatives, OPCC offers the charm of the Midwest with the offerings of the big city. With the title of Best Small Convention Center in North America in EXHIBITOR’s 2022 Centers of Excellence, OPCC’s 262,000-square-foot venue features 60,000 square feet of exhibit space with a connected 25,000-square-foot ballroom.

Access to great hotels

There are a ton of great hotels near the convention center, so guests have plenty of options when it comes to accommodations.

Fun fact: There are over 1,000 hotel rooms within walking distance of the Overland Park Convention Center! One of our top recommendations is the Sheraton Hotel, as it is in the same complex as the convention center for ultimate convenience.

Competitive pricing

Typically, the closer you get into the city, the higher the prices for event venues like banquet halls.
