Our wedding will be held at NIGHT HAWK VINEYARD & WINERY in PAOLA, KS. We couldn't be more excited about holding our special day at Kegan's Familie's property. They have truly built an incredible oasis in Eastern Kansas, surrounded by a centuries-old walnut grove, vineyard, hiking trail, and a beautiful pond to swim in.
YOU BET CHA! We will have food and apps provided by All Cousine Catering, and wine from Night Hawk Vineyard and Winery. In addition, we will provide SNOW CONES and a few non-alcoholic beverage options!
If rain is in our forecast, heaven forbid, we will be providing a large party tent for coverage! However, if you feel like running around and dancing in the rain with us, we will certainly encourage it! Nothing will stop us!
We want you to be as comfortable as possible! With that being said, this will not be your traditional "fancy" wedding. June may bring rain or sun so we highly encourage garden party attire as the wedding will be held outside in the beautiful vineyard.
Please plan to arrive to the venue at by 5:00 pm, as the ceremony will be held at 5:30 pm. We can't wait to see you! There will be ample parking at the front entrance to the property. Please follow the signs as you drive up.

This is going to be such a fun day! We kindly ask that you RSVP by April 11, 2022, please. This way we can ensure we have adequate seating available for all of our guests and give our caterer a head count for meals!
YES! Please give us a heads up if you have a food allergy with your RSVP or earlier so we can make the necessary accommodations. You can also notify us at (770) 656-0916.
As much as we wish we could throw the biggest party in existence on June 11th, at this time we are only able to extend the invitation to you and your significant other. The wedding will be held on Don and Cathy's home property and we want to respect the venue's occupancy limit, in addition to our desire to host an intimate wedding.
Please arrive by 5:00pm. The ceremony will be held outside at 5:30pm, and the wedding will likely wrap up around 11:00 pm. This of course, might be a bit flexible, if we are HAVING TOO MUCH FUN YA'LL! :)
We certainly want to make sure all hungry bellies are fed, thus we will be providing a vegetarian dish as an option only for individuals who are vegetarian or have an aversion to our main course that will be made with chicken. Please email or text us with questions or concerns or if you think you'll need to be added to our vegetarian list!
