Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

If you could RSVP no later than August 1, 2021, that would be great! A ton of our wedding decorations, as well as catering and beverages, will depend on the amount of people attending the wedding ceremony and reception!

Question

Do I have to mail back my RSVP or can I RSVP online?

Answer

You can do either! There is an RSVP tab on this site that will allow you to respond there if you'd rather do that.

Question

What are the directions to the venue?

Answer

If you type the address into your Maps app on your phone, it will take you right to it! But just in case, here are some written directions: If you are coming from the NE side of KC: You will get on I-35 S towards KC until you get to Exit 8B towards KCI Airport. Once you take the exit, you'll go until you get to Exit 3B on the left to merge onto I-635 S. A few miles after that, you'll take Exit 7 onto K-5 N towards 38th St (turn right once you take the exit). In 6 miles, you'll turn right onto N 91st St and the venue will be on the left just over the hill. Hiawatha People: Take US-36 to I-29 S, then in 26 miles take Exit 17 onto I-435 S. In 16 miles, take Exit 15A onto K-5 S and in 2 miles, turn left onto N 91st St and the venue will be on your left. People coming from the SW side of KC: Get on I-35 N until you get to Exit 222B onto K-10 towards I-435 W. In 15 miles, take Exit 15A onto K-5 S. In 2 miles, turn left onto N 91st St. The venue will be over the hill on the left.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

If you could arrive no later than 4:15 pm, that would be great! No one wants to deal with the stress of showing up late and having everyone stare at you as you try to find an open seat as quickly as possible (been there!).

Question

Has COVID-19 placed any restrictions on your wedding?

Answer

When we first reserved our venue, there WAS a 50% capacity restriction but that has officially been lifted! So we no longer have any restrictions on our wedding!! If you still happen to feel uncomfortable with attending due to COVID-19, we absolutely understand - just please make sure you submit your RSVP so that we know whether to expect you or not.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

We are making our dress code semi-formal. We don't need everyone to go out of their way to look super fancy or have to buy an outfit just for our special day, but it would be ideal if men were wearing nicer dress pants (slacks, khakis, etc.) and nice dress shirts (button ups/polos), and if women were in dresses/rompers/jumpsuits or nice dress pants and blouses.

Question

Does your wedding have a theme?

Answer

Our wedding "theme" is rustic elegance. If you'd like to wear something to match our colors, they will be dusty rose, mauve, dusty sage, blush, coral, and taupe! Think super neutral and pastel!

Question

What will the weather be like this time of the year?

Answer

Honestly, who knows. In October, it could easily be a toss up between hot and freezing. We chose October 2nd in the hopes that it would be a really nice fall day and not too cold yet. If you're from out of town and don't live in the Midwest, we'd recommend bringing an outfit for each possibility. If you only want to bring one outfit, consider bringing one for warmer weather and pack a jacket or cardigan in case it is cold!

Question

Will the ceremony and reception be indoors or outdoors?

Answer

As long as the weather is nice, the ceremony will be outdoors and the reception will be indoors. If it is precipitating, both will be indoors.

Question

Are the ceremony and reception location wheelchair accessible?

Answer

The main building where the reception is being held is wheelchair accessible. The ceremony will be outside on grass, so we'll let you make that call. If the ground is hard, it should be fine for a wheelchair, but soft ground would make things pretty difficult. There is a long sidewalk leading down part of the grass, so that could be an option for a wheelchair to utilize! There is also a very large outdoor patio area that anyone in a wheelchair can sit and should be able to see the ceremony. We'll do our best to get something worked out for everyone that is in a wheelchair!

Question

What happens after the ceremony?

Answer

After the ceremony, there will be a cocktail hour for about 1-1.5 hours while the wedding party finishes taking pictures. We only have access to the venue to get ready 2 hours before the ceremony, so we won't be able to get them all knocked out beforehand. There will be plenty of drinks, appetizers, and yard games to keep you busy while we get our pictures taken!

Question

Can I take pictures during the ceremony and reception?

Answer

While we understand you wanting to capture the moment, that is what we have hired the professionals for. During the ceremony, PLEASE have your phones put away and on silent. During the reception, you can take as many pictures as you want!

Question

What kind of food is being served at the cocktail hour and reception?

Answer

At the cocktail hour, there will be sausage, cheese, and crackers, and fruit skewers. At the reception, there will be barbecue! There will be pulled pork, brisket, roasted potatoes, cheesy corn, salad (with three different dressing options: buttermilk ranch, raspberry vinaigrette, and creamy Italian), and cornbread with cinnamon honey butter. There will also be a little sauce bar for the meats. Come ready to eat because this food is the real deal!

Question

What if I have dietary restrictions?

Answer

If you have any dietary restrictions, please let us know on your RSVP and we will get something worked out for you!!

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

As much as we would love everyone at our wedding to bring a date, our venue only seats about 250 people. With the number of people on our guest list, we are already pushing that amount. Pay special attention to your invitation and look for "& Guest" behind your name. If your invitation says that, you are absolutely welcome to bring a date!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Kids are absolutely welcome, but we also understand you wanting a night out of the house away from yours! They are absolutely welcome to join you in attendance. All we ask is that you let us know if you're bringing them whenever you RSVP so that the caterer can have the correct amount of kids meals. :)

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Our wedding venue works with a few hotels close by that will actually shuttle for free, so no impaired driving! These hotels will also have room blocks available for guests, so we encourage you to take advantage of that if you can! If not, the venue is 5 minutes away from The Legends, so there are plenty of other hotels there that you can book with. Take a look at the Travel tab, as well, because we have listed a number of hotels there that are very close to the venue!

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

There is parking on the property! Our venue has a parking lot that will fit about 115 vehicles. There should be plenty of space because several people will be utilizing the shuttle services provided by the hotels nearby.

Question

Can I bring alcohol?

Answer

Our venue has a liquor license, so we are required to use their bartenders. With that, no one can bring in any outside alcohol. If you do, it will be confiscated - sorry! But don't worry, there will be plenty to choose from. You will have the option to choose from three different beers, three different wines, and our signature drink, which will be a Moscow Mule!

Question

What should I do if I can't make it?

Answer

If you can't make it, please RSVP as soon as possible to let us know!

Question

Where are you registered?

Answer

We are only registered on Zola. There is a tab for our registry at the top of this site!

Question

Can I take and post pictures of the wedding on social media?

Answer
