“I don’t need a wedding planner because our venue includes a coordinator” is a sentence that will make any wedding planner’s eye twitch. We LOVE venue coordinators. They are absolutely essential to making sure that an event runs smoothly. But so. are. planners. (or wedding coordinators or wedding managers; whatever you actually end up hiring)
Meeting with potential wedding photographers is probably going to be one of the first steps you take to start planning your wedding. To make the most of your consultations, I recommend going in with a handful of questions to make sure you feel comfortable trusting them with your wedding photos while also assessing their personality to make sure you click!
This blog isn’t intended to sell you on why planners are so wonderful- it’s simply to help you find a wonderful planner of your own! Typing “Kansas City Wedding Planner” into Google is going to yield a ton of results (like 10 million at the time of me writing this…), so how are you supposed to choose one?

There’s a very good chance that your wedding venue is one of, if not the first big decision you’ll make after deciding to get married to your person. If you’re doing this sans planner or if you opted for partial planning or wedding management, this guide will be super useful in narrowing down your wedding venue!
A fantastic way to add a personal touch to your wedding favors is by shopping local! Not only are local-made favors a great way to show your guests a piece of the city, but they also help support small businesses right in your backyard. Read on for some of our favorite ideas for Kansas City wedding favors!
I am so excited to introduce you all to a brand new Kansas City wedding and event venue located in the heart of the Crossroads! I first heard about the Outreach Event Space from their new venue manager, Jana Marie. The best part about the Outreach Event Space is that it’s more than just a stunning space- your rental fee goes towards the mission of Outreach International, allowing you and your guests to party with a purpose.
If you’ve made it to this blog post, I’m willing to bet that you’re about a 6 months away from your wedding (woohoo!!) and a little bit overwhelmed by all the things you feel like you should have done by now. Don’t worry, because this blog (and the rest of the wedding planning checklist series) is here to guide you through the key checkpoints leading up to your wedding!
