Wedding Reception Venues - Find a Space that Speaks For ItselfOne of the best ways to throw a completely unique wedding is to find a space that speaks for itself. The wedding above took place at 632 On Hudson in Manhattan (632OnHudson.com), which I actually happened to tour a couple weeks ago -- the place is jaw-droppingly gorgeous and the best part is that it needs little to no extra decorations. Now that's budget-friendly! Photo: Angelica Glass Photography (AngelicaGlass.BigFolioBlog.com)...

Reviewing the Berg Event SpaceBefore the Power & Light District; before the Sprint Center; before First Fridays; even before the new Kansas City Star building, Ron Berg (That’s Berg, not Burg) was hanging out at 15th and Grand in one of Kansas City’s hippest urban loft spaces.

Anyway, years ago Ron got the wild idea to buy the old Studebaker sh...
