What visitors say
Lovely historic building on the Plaza. We attended a beautiful, quiet candlelight string quartet concert of some of our favorite music from The Lord of the Rings movie scores. The setting was perfect, except for the very loud amplified music coming from the event happening one floor below. The building is used extensively as a cultural center and has multiple spaces to support simultaneous events. My recommendation would be to double check which events are being hosted in the building at the same time and purchase tickets for a quiet event when a louder event is not going on (unless you enjoy traveling through Middle Earth to a rave beat!) Loved this place. The stain glass is beautiful, very comfortable seating We had a Simple Ceremony with Ben — it was exactly what we expected “simple”. There are no worries whatsoever. Book your event using the online calendar, and you’ll receive a call with contact information. I prefer to communicate via text, and they were willing to accommodate. I received reminders and regular communication at times that made sense before our ceremony. Important things like “having a marriage license in the State of MO”. KS is so close by, some people don’t think about that and get their license in the wrong state. Our officiate, Ben, was organized, responsive, and helpful. The Temple is beautiful with plenty of places for family photos. We were able to take photos with a photographer before and after the ceremony. There is also very convenient parking. The free, covered parking garage is steps away from the temple — same side of the street — right next door. For the actual ceremony— you get to choose what type — religious or not, blessings before or after, rings or not. There is no need for a rehearsal because it’s truly “simple”: A few days beforehand, Ben confirmed we would have witnesses. In our case we we had the maximum 15-guests including ourselves. It’s meant for very small and intimate weddings. Our parents on both bride and groom sides are mid 70’s and didn’t want big risks associated with larger groups and covid. We had our small, safe family ceremony for the actual wedding with a big reception later that evening. I couldn’t be happier with Unity Temple and highly recommend. We went there for their Candlelight Concert. The staff was very kind and helpful. The place is beautiful and clean. We had a great time! Beautiful venue! We wished it would have lasted longer however.
