I’ve worked with a lot of DJs as a wedding coordinator, and I’ve worked with Roy (owner) quite a bit. Roy wasn’t able to work my wedding so he had Douglas, and I LOVE Douglas! This guy completely matched our vibe/energy, his mixes were smooth, his announcements were audible. Douglas seriously was the best DJ. I cannot say thank you enough to him! I also loved our PhotoBooth and our friends had a lot of fun taking pics and going through the props! — I’ve also now had the pleasure to work with both Doug & Roy at weddings after my wedding and everyone adores them each time. They are both so kind, their mixing is fantastic, they read the crowd super well and make sure to find the right music to get the party going! I will recommend Crystal Pro indefinitely!!

Wild Rose Planning & Events

  • Planner
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Buckner, MO

Wild Rose Planning & Events was established in 2021 by two wedding industry experts. Throughout our years in the industry, we felt there was a gap in the planning process, making it feel more like work than fun. We’re here to provide you with the experience you deserve — stress free, organized, and memorable!

Awarded Best of Zola
I can’t say enough about the incredible experience I had working with Brenna and Molly from Wild Rose Planning Events. Brenna was my primary planner, and we opted for their full-service package, which was hands down the best investment we made for our wedding. From day one, Brenna was on top of everything – even with the small but essential details like parts of our invites, menus, and custom signage. She truly went above and beyond, bringing a personal touch and creative flair that made our wedding so special. Brenna and Molly brought so much creativity to the planning process. They even used their Cricut to add those perfect handcrafted details that made everything feel unique to us. I had a few items I wanted from Pinterest, and Brenna took care of all the ordering, handling all the specifics with the vendors. Every time I reached out, she was quick to respond, making me feel reassured and at ease throughout what could have been a stressful process. Something especially unique about Brenna is that she went above and beyond, working closely with a travel advisor to plan my entire three-week honeymoon abroad. She handled every detail, from flights and accommodations to curated experiences that made our honeymoon an unforgettable extension of our wedding celebration. Her dedication to planning every part of this experience truly blew me away, and I felt completely cared for even after the wedding day was over. Planning an out-of-town wedding could have been a logistical nightmare, but Brenna and Molly made it seamless. Their network of vendors is outstanding, and I felt so comfortable knowing they had connections with everyone from florists to photographers. On the big day, every vendor seemed genuinely excited to work with them, creating a lively, positive atmosphere that elevated our celebration even more. We got married at Top of the Rock at Big Cedar Lodge, a dream venue. Thanks to Wild Rose, I was able to have a hands-off experience for what is normally a hands-on process. Running my own small business, I know how important it is to have reliable partners, and Wild Rose Planning Events delivered every step of the way. They made it possible for me to relax and truly enjoy our wedding day, knowing every detail was flawlessly handled. Wild Rose Planning Events came highly recommended by a friend, and now I see why. Brenna and Molly have such a great reputation, and it’s well-deserved. They went above and beyond, making my dream wedding come to life, and I feel like I gained two friends in the process. If you’re looking for a team that is dedicated, creative, and genuinely invested in making your day special, I wholeheartedly recommend Wild Rose Planning Events. They made our wedding and honeymoon dreams come true, and I am forever grateful!

It's been two months since our wedding day, and I still cannot get over how incredibly amazing and wonderful the team at Whatever is Lovely was for my husband and I throughout our entire experience. If you are in the Kansas City area or beyond (we were planning from Denver, Colorado) I cannot recommend this team enough. I would give them ten stars if I could. My coordinator Meranda was like a trusted friend, helpful sister, and wise-beyond-expectations consultant for everything. I had no worries or stresses on my big day thanks to she and Rachel being on site to do anything that was needed - even reading my mind and my mother's mind several times throughout the day. Because of this team our wedding day was prepared, organized, stress-free, and ENJOYABLE. I love being able to say that. Thank you, Meranda!

Hey there, I’m Bailey, the face behind B&B Photography. Now 27, my love for art started at a young age so ending up here, creating art for a living was no surprise! From capturing milestones, to moments as big as “I do” - I love photography of all kinds. Need timeline help? You got it. Brides of b&b can always ask me to assist in their timeline creation.

The first time I met Bailey was at my engagement shoot on my farm. I’ve had plenty of sessions with family and individual photographers, so I am comfortable in front of the camera, but my future husband is not at all. Bailey gave great instruction and made us both feel relaxed during our session. Can’t wait for the wedding next year!

I'm your bad ass business owner, question answerer, boutonniere pinner, and type-A personality. I spend my days editing your photos and videos with at least one fur baby on my lap. When I'm not working, you'll find me binge watching Grey's Anatomy, Gilmore Girls, or Glee...also with at least one of my cats on my lap. Cats are life.

Elizabeth, Kyle, and her team were amazing - from the first initial Zoom call all the way to picking up my wedding album and everything in between. The process is detailed, so that decisions are made prior to the big day, which helps to alleviate decisions on the day-of. Her photography is out of this world with the angles she finds and the moments she is able to capture. Kyle also has quite the eye for capturing clips throughout the day that make such a spectacular video. 10/10 recommend this duo and their team!!

Welcome! I am a Kansas City Lifestyle, Portrait, and Wedding Photographer. Growing up I always had an eye for anything artistic and loved being able to share my vision of the world. I was first introduced to photography in my senior year of high school and immediately knew that is what I wanted my career to be. I continued the venture through college and graduated from UMKC with a degree in photography. A little about Noire Studios: Where does the name Noire Studios come from? I mixed my first name and last name (maiden) together - NO (from Noelle) and IRE (from Ireland). Creating a business from a few things that capture ME!

Noire Studios was the best vendor on my wedding day! Noelle and her team made me feel at ease the moment they walked in. The day went beautifully and the images are stunning! We could not have asked for a better photographer!

Venue considerations

  • Not for you if you are drawn to more unconventional venues
  • Not for you if you don't want a rustic vibe
  • No all-inclusive dining options
We had such an amazing wedding at The Oliver Building. Having the venue for the whole weekend made our weekend run so smoothly. We had our rehearsal Friday night, and brought everything over so we didn’t need to deal with it Saturday. Then got ready in the amazing upstairs suites Saturday morning. We had a great time, and Caitlin was so easy to work with! The only reason I took a star off is that we had some issues with the bar. We made it clear from the start that we wanted to prioritize the bar, and didn’t want long lines. Because of that, they said we would have 3 bartenders, and would batch some of our signature cocktails. Unfortunately, we only had two bartenders, despite giving tips for 3, and there were no cocktails batched. We did have a pretty long line at our bar most of the night because of this. All in all, it was an amazing venue for our wedding!!

Hallie Sigwing Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Buckner, MO

My work is focused on creating the kind of photos that will remind you of exactly how it felt to be in that room again when you pull out your wedding album in 50 years. I understand that your wedding is about so much more than just the photos - it’s the only day that all of these people will be under one roof.

Working with Hallie on our wedding day was the best decision we made (outside of marrying each other, of course). Photographs have always been important to me because they let you feel the memories of important moments long after the moment has passed. And that is exactly what Hallie has given to us. When I look at the photos from that June day, I can feel the excitement, the nervousness, the joy, and the love that filled that day to the brim. She captures the photos that you know from the get go that you want--the first look, the family portraits, the dance; but Hallie's magic comes from bearing witness to the small moments and details throughout the day that otherwise easily slip from memory. Our home is filled with these photos of my grandparents smiling as they watch the happiness in the room, my parents on the dancefloor, the details of our outfits, and the small looks that we gave each other throughout the day. Aside from the photos, Hallie is incredible to work with and couldn't have made our day easier on us, especially as people who get squirrely in front of a camera. She takes the time to get to know you, does exactly what she says she is going to, and is also just incredibly fun to be around. Now that we have become continued clients of Hallie, our home is a gallery of her work. I can't thank her enough for the beautiful memories that she has given us or recommend her more to others. She also bakes a mean pie and sings some lovely tunes.

Our boutique catering style means every event is unique. We LOVE listening to client ideas and making their food experiences come to life. Whether it’s the wedding of your dreams, a garden bridal shower, or a food festival for 2,000+ we have you covered!

The entire experience with Olive Co was top notch! We contacted Olivia a few months back and were able to snag them up to do our wedding reception. They delivered! I was blown away and so were my guests. It was everything we could of ever hoped for! I also have to say the communication was far beyond anything my other vendors provided. Olivia said she would be available anytime and my 11pm and sometimes 1 am texts always got responded to. She was on it, and I love her for giving me peace of mind. Not only did the food rock BUT I opted to do our own plates (I had a vision) and forgot them at the airbnb 40 minutes away from our venue. Olivia got in her emergency bag and saved the day! She also helped out other vendors on site who were late! I just can't say enough good things and can't wait to use Olive Co at our next event. Thank you Olivia Sherri for making our weddding a dream come true.

Hi, I’m Erin and I love telling stories. I'm Midwest based, Kansas City to be specific, but I'm a Michigan girl at heart and love to travel! My favorite way to share the world through my eyes is from behind a camera lens. Your story is beautiful, and worth sharing.

Erin was everything we were looking for!! I knew her style was perfect for us. From initial communication she was there to answer any questions during the whole process, even when I had a list of general wedding questions not related to photography! Erin made us feel very comfortable with our engagement pictures. She knew all the right poses and places to shoot! She also helped us keep our big day in line with a timeline of events which was so helpful. Erin made sure she captured any specific pictures we wanted as well. My entire family complimented her personality and ease of the process (multiple times too!). We had sneak peeks the same night of our wedding. Our pictures came back faster than expected and they were absolutely stunning. Every single one. You cannot go wrong with choosing Erin to capture your special day!!!

Taking the photo is only a fraction of my job. I’m the cheerleader, usher, keeper of the timeline, and stealth ninja anticipating what’s coming next. After 10 years and more than 200 weddings, I’ve learned a trick or two about how to navigate the unique challenges of a wedding day. I’ve learned that planning for the inevitable means getting to enjoy the unexpected. I’ve learned when to take center stage and be the conductor to ensure that your must-have shots are checked off that list. But, I’ve also learned when to be still and wait for the relationships surrounding you to show their beautiful touches of joy that long to be captured.

As a wedding planner, I strive to put together teams of vendors that are excited to work together to make the client's wedding day the BEST day they can possibly make it! And I have to say every time I work with Deanna she makes the clients day so bright and easy for them. Even if that means a little extra work on her end. She goes above and beyond! You can tell that she is made for her job!!!

My name is Jillian and I'm a photographer and artist in Kansas City My goal is to capture you. Every couple, family, person is different, and I want to make sure your uniqueness comes through in the images of your special days. My style tends to lean into rich colors and textures. Are you a couple that doesn't want to have a typical wedding? I'm a photographer that doesn't want to give you typical images! I always tear up at hand written vows. I love my partner and my two dogs Moonshine and Chosen One, and my cat Bucket.

Jillian at Youngbird Photo (j.guthrie_photo on Instagram) is such a true joy and delight to work with. Not only did she come to photograph our small May ceremony, but she photographed a first look photo session with us after we canceled the reception!! My dress was in covid lockup in May, so I wasn't able to wear it at the original ceremony. Jillian made sure that we had pictures of the dress, and captured a first look moment for us, and that will forever mean the world to me. She even came over to photograph the centerpieces that we had worked so hard on!! She makes people feel so comfortable and has such an amazing eye for what will make a beautiful shot. She is immensely talented and an absolutely delightful person. And bonus, she works with any budget. She truly believes that every couple deserves beautiful photos, and will work with you, whatever your situation is. Case in point, she's done our engagement photos, our small ceremony photos, and now our first look photos, and in every instance, she went above and beyond for us. I will recommend her forever, and still cannot completely put into words how much she and her photos mean to us!

If I needed her, she was there! She took such great care of us on our special day and also the entire month before. We cannot thank Laura enough! Cheering you and your team on always!!

Hi! My name is Angi Landis. I received my Bachelor of Science Degree, in Photography, from the University of Central Missouri..... years ago. Angi’s Art became a reality in 2004, and I have had fun photographing wonderful moments ever since. Weddings are my absolute favorite!! As a professional wedding photographer, I take the art of story telling seriously. From the first moments you see each other, to the small glances you give each other while holding hands… I want to show it all! From the wedding cake, to the smallest decoration…. If you put thought into it, I want to artistically document it for you.

We have worked with Angi is several occassions and we have enjoyed her amazing artistry and dedication!! We highly recommend!!

Flora Wedding Co

  • Florist
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Buckner, MO

Hi there! I use all wood flowers for my bouquets! I created Flora Wedding Co to help couples save money but still be able to have a preserved piece of their big day! Doing floral preservation and having fresh flowers to the extent I wanted was simply not in my wedding budget. I started with wood flowers and absolutely fell in love! I hand-dye each and every flower, hand stem them and arrange them. I love working with every couple and building them their dream wedding florals that will last a lifetime.

Iliana was absolutely wonderful to work with! She was great at communicating and responding to emails in a timely manner. She was super professional and took a lot of stress off my plate. The bouquets and corsages turned out soooo beautiful. The colors were perfect! The bouquets are extremely fragile so if you can pick them up in person as opposed to shipping them I would definitely recommend that. Iliana did a great job though!

The space was super gorgeous. And everything ran smoothly and with grace. They were helpful months before to make sure everything ran with grace. The workers were nice and proactive. Our slideshow was lost and was only on two of the three tvs. The coordinator stayed in her office most of the day and did not come to check in to make sure no one needed anything. Overall the day was gorgeous and I would pick there again. Thank you for making my day so pretty!

The Pavilion Event Space was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! Their communication was fast, friendly, and extremely professional from the very first time we reached out. The venue itself is clean, with a lovely rustic charm, and completely customizable to fit our vision. They truly were a one-stop shop, handling everything from setup to catering, and even went above and beyond to ensure my puppy was hydrated and comfortable on our hot wedding day. Although dogs aren't normally allowed, they made sure my furry baby didn't overheat while we waited for the ceremony. I just absolutely love this venue and this team - planning a wedding is extremely stressful, but I would do it all over again with The Pavilion Event Space.

Mariah Selena Portraits

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Buckner, MO

Welcome! I'm Mariah! I first picked up a camera during a summer camp when I was only 10 years old. We were given a list of different objects to photograph around the building, and I fell in love with capturing the uniqueness of things as they were. Objects that were easily overlooked suddenly became exciting thanks to a photograph. I quickly began begging my parents for photography equipment and was gifted my first camera that Christmas. Fast forward 16 years, and I am embarking on a new career, doing what I am most passionate about...capturing, creating, and bringing memories - your memories - to life.

Where do we even start? From the planning process to wedding day and post-wedding, Mariah was our absolute best decision when it came to selecting a vendor. Mariah was helpful and communicative during the planning process, especially with our questions about timeline. On wedding day, Mariah was a busy bee capturing behind the scenes photos, photos of our guests, and us. We decided to do a first look off-site and Mariah captured the raw emotion that we both felt in that moment. I don't know how she did it! As for the photos, we provided Mariah with a shot list, but gave her creative freedom and she did not disappoint. We received the sneak peek within 24-48 hours and the full photo gallery within 4-6 weeks. On a personal note, Mariah is an absolute gem of a human. We felt so comfortable and natural with her, which can sometimes be difficult in front of a camera. She is a complete goofball and will keep both you and your party laughing. BOOK HER IMMEDIATELY!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience hosting our wedding at Grand Street Cafe. The venue offers a beautiful, timeless setting with clean, elegant decor that provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. From our initial tour to the final send off, Chelsea and the Grand Street staff were sincere, welcoming, reliable, and highly professional in their communication and coordination.
