Kansas Wedding Ceremony Sites

Hold your special Kansas wedding in a place that speaks to your heart.

Choosing the venue for your wedding goes to the very heart of your relationship as a couple. This one choice will be the touchstone for so many of your other plans such as decorations, reception locations and possible themes. Read the Kansas Wedding Ceremony Sites Guide to help you pick the perfect location for your dream Kansas wedding.

Some couples choose their theme first and then their venue while others approach this decision from the opposite direction. Sometimes a couple has such a connection with a special place, a theme springs naturally from a wedding site. Either approach is fine. If you are still enjoying the rush of a new engagement, you may be overwhelmed with all your options. Read on for some suggestions for Kansas ceremony sites to get your imagination rolling.

If you are dreaming of a wedding ceremony which takes advantage of the wonderful Kansas outdoors, your choices are as broad as the Kansas prairie. Botanica, the botanic gardens located in Wichita, has a website with a complete listing of the different gardens and events. Also available is a handy bloom schedule feature which will allow you to align your wedding with the best time for roses or daffodils. Natural Kansas offers links to nature-based locations all across the state. Here you can check out breathtaking parks, state historic sites and outdoor venues of all types.

Destination weddings will get a planning boost from sites such as the Kansas Bed and Breakfast Association. Here you will find listings of all participating members from cities across the state. There is an amenities search so you can look for places with features you need such as large gardens or historical connections. The 1878 Historic Sage Inn, a 125-year-old county inn located in Dover, is a great example of the kind of listings offered. This charming restored stagecoach stop would be perfect for a Victorian-themed wedding with its gabled roof and idyllic gardens. Census Finder also offers a listing of many historical museums and sites across Kansas, broken down by county. Look for venues such as the Spring Creek Guest House, located in Eureka. A working ranch in the Flint Hills, this site would fit nicely for a western wedding or county ceremony.

All of these links are merely suggestions to get you thinking about the possibilities for your unique wedding. Use them as a springboard for your own imagination. When looking for your perfect venue, keep a couple of general questions in mind.

How much decorating will a site need to fit your theme or to make it look festive? Natural backdrops such as flower gardens and restored buildings lend ambiance and tone without extra cost. Expensive decorations and hefty travel costs can be budget breakers.

How far in advance must you reserve your favorite site? Museums, botanical gardens and popular hotels book quickly, especially for spring and summer weddings. Make sure a venue is available for your wedding date and book your reservations as soon as possible.

How many friends and family will be joining you on this special day? Trying to cram one hundred people into a small chapel is a recipe for a stressful year of planning. Having a basic idea of a large or small guest list should keep your search on track.

One of the hardest parts of choosing a wedding site in Kansas is deciding among all the special places available to a couple. The wide-open prairies, the important historical sites or the urban centers are all perfect places for a wedding. But the choice is really about your personalities as a couple. What is the perfect place for you two to become husband and wife? Answer that question and you have selected your Kansas wedding site.
