After working in the Kansas City wedding and event industry for over 20 years, we’ve run into fantastic experiences as well as not so fantastic experiences working in and attending venues in the local Kansas City and surrounding areas. A venue sets the stage for everything. It’s where all your guests will be collectively celebrating, […]

The perfect local wedding elopement at Berry Acres near Kanas City Missouri.

Hannah & Humberto did it right. Spent a week with their loved ones having a whole experience from club nights, to pool days, shopping and eating out, to shows, their wedding and more.

Congratulations to all of you. What stunning fall colors on the Independence square to match such a […]

What a stunning wedding. This couple radiates peace, joy and family. And what better way to celebrate than by “locking in” your love with a lock and key at the Riverfront park in Kansas City?
