I was a guest at a wedding reception 11/28/2008. Everything was absolutely perfect. We had a variety of fantastic o'duerves and mini-cakes served by white gloved, attentive waiters. I recommend the mini-crab cakes, very huge skewered shrimp with a secret sauce or marinade, endive with prosciutto, cream cheese and another taste secret, mini puff pastries, mini prime rib on crust o'duerves, mini cheesecakes, mini chocolate cakes and a variety of other wonderful things. The service could not have been better. There was a jazz quartet that was perfect for the event and an adequate sized dance floor. The building is so unique and especially wonderful for a fall or winter event. The open two story gathering room has hardwood flooring, stone walls and the fireplace was roaring. There is a patio area for spring or summer events. Caenen Castle was certainly a wonderful and unique experience. (I feel I must comment on two negative reviews posted 11/19 by the same person. My guess is that the host was not willing to pay for an adequate number of waiters, bartenders, food offerings and there was no music the event, so the guest at that event did not have a good experience, which is unfortunate). I have been to many events and restaurants in the Kansas City area and other cities throughout the United States. This is one of the best. Enjoy.
