Airport

For our loved ones traveling from afar, Kansas City International Airport (KCI) is the most convenient airport, and where your Kansas City weekend will begin.

Accommodations

Kansas City holds many places close to our hearts. Below are three areas we recommend staying, each offering a slightly different way to experience the city we love.

Option 1: Overland Park

Hotel: Element Overland Park

Distance from Venue: ~24 minutes

This area is especially meaningful to us - it’s just steps from the very first place we ever lived together. It’s a cozy, welcoming neighborhood with tree-lined streets and plenty to explore within walking distance along 135th Street.

You’ll find shops (don’t miss Made in KC at Prairiefire), great food and plenty of entertainment - BRKTHROUGH, Museum at Prairiefire, AMC movie theater, and Dave & Buster's - all easy places to linger and enjoy the weekend.

This option will also be less than 1 mile from our Saturday Wedding Weekend Welcome Party.

Option 2: Country Club Plaza (A Classic Kansas City Stay)

Distance from Venue: ~33 minutes

For guests who want to immerse themselves in Kansas City’s charm and culture, the Country Club Plaza is a beautiful option. With its Spanish-inspired architecture, fountains, and iconic streets, it’s a romantic and lively place to stay.

You’ll be close to the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the setting of one of our very first dates and a place we return to often. If the weather is kind, a walk across the museum lawns or through Loose Park is one of our favorite simple pleasures. Evenings here can easily lead to great dining or a short drive to the KC Power & Light District or the Crossroads Arts District.

Option 3: Lee’s Summit (Where Our Hearts Are Now)

Distance from Venue (from downtown): ~17 minutes

If you’d like to experience the Midwest charm we’ve fallen in love with, consider staying in Lee's Summit or nearby. Downtown Lee’s Summit is quaint, warm, and full of personality - a place that truly feels like home to us.

You’ll find sweet local shops, wonderful restaurants, and an easygoing pace that invites you to slow down. If you’re here Saturday morning, the Lee's Summit Farmers Market at the Green Street is one of our favorite traditions and a perfect way to start the day.
