The Olde Mill Emporium Reception Facility is a two-story historic event venue on Main Street in downtown Parkville, Missouri, a short drive from anywhere in the greater Kansas City area. The building has anchored the Parkville community for more than 30 years — originally a destination for antique shoppers and now a popular setting for weddings, quinceañeras, reunions, corporate gatherings, and milestone celebrations. The facility offers two distinct event spaces. The Olde Mill carries the character of the original building: dark wood, soaring ceilings adorned with chandeliers, a rustic mill exterior, a flower-lined wooden bridge, and a second-floor balcony hung with stringed lights. It seats up to 330 guests for dinner and dancing. Park Place is a contemporary complement, seating up to 200 guests and offering a more current aesthetic. Both spaces are available 365 days a year from noon through midnight and are fully handicap accessible. In-house catering and bartending are available, alongside a preferred vendor list — or renters may bring their own approved vendors.

La Bodega is a Spanish tapas restaurant and event venue situated on Southwest Boulevard in Kansas City, Missouri. Founded by James Taylor — whose background spans architecture, culinary training, brewmaster certification, and event management — the restaurant draws from the tapas traditions of Northern Spain and the Basque region, where small-plate dining is as much about camaraderie and unhurried conversation as it is about food. Taylor also founded Missouri's first brewpub and has built La Bodega around a philosophy of "World Class Hospitality" and the concept of lagniappe: that unexpected extra touch that transforms a gathering into a memorable experience. For private events, La Bodega accommodates a range of formats through its main dining room, Chef's Table, custom tapas bar, and open-air patio. Full and partial restaurant buyouts are available for groups that want exclusive use of the space. The events team handles everything from catered office lunches and cocktail receptions to on-site private dinners, pairing a culinary-driven menu of tapas with hand-crafted cocktails to suit the occasion.
