    Wedding

    The fort o sage christmas tree farm was an amazing place to get married, and soo beautiful!! Nick and his team were so great to communicate with and had a guideline set for us so we knew exactly what we needed done. Which was so helpful for someone like me who likes a plan set and organized. He helped us stay within our budget, while still having a beautiful wedding. On the day of the wedding Nick was great at helping keep the timeline in check, keeping us organized, and just making sure we were okay and ready for the next big thing. I wouldn’t redo anything on this day cause of how perfect it came out. I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone getting married.

    Great venue

    From our first conversation with Fort Osage Christmas Trees & Weddings, we knew we'd found the right venue. The family that runs the place was responsive and willing to work with us on every detail, even going above and beyond by fixing my tire during one of our pre-wedding visits. They scheduled multiple meetings with us to talk through exactly how we wanted everything to look and feel, which made the whole planning process stress free. So many people couldn't believe the space was so gorgeous. They handled everything we asked for with ease, and the whole experience was comfortable from start to finish. We're grateful for their kindness and can't recommend them enough.

    Prettiest spot for your outdoor wedding

    Our daughter Alexis and new son in law Jayson got married at the Tree Farm on what we believe the literal hottest day of August ever!!! The initial tour gave us opportunity to see the whole grounds. Nick told us during this time how he would be our day of coordinator but could also be available for DJ if we wanted. He went over all the different parts of what the faculty offers such as the initial package, add ons, and day of expectations. When we chose to use this place he walked us through contract questions and we asked many questions. He wanted it to be clear we knew he was the wedding contact and Kim his mom only handled the payments. After we booked the months went quickly but he was always available when we had questions and worked regularly with the couple to finalize plans and support them as needed. He was flexible when we had to change meeting dates, set rehearsal times and make a few changes to the days schedule. He provided many helpful suggestions they used as well. The day of the wedding Nick was AMAZING!! He continued to check on the full wedding party and our guests through the day to make sure we had water, supplies and anything he could assist with. The property was a perfect backdrop for our daughter’s special day!! While the weather was out of everyone’s control and literally tried to bake us all during the ceremony LOL Nick made sure to let us know if guests needed they could use the Lodge for air until the ceremony began. He was able to help us direct our caterers and photographer for set up, and preparing for their time with us. Our photographer even got a few shots with him and the wedding couple to remember the day!! We HIGHLY recommend that if you are looking for an outdoor space with a forest feel this IS the place for it! Budget friendly but they also have options on what you need. Nick and family was always checking in, quick to response and helpful when we needed so don’t hesitate to ask ALL THE QUESTIONS. He was willing to answer all of them over and over sometime. Schedule the tour - you won’t regret it !!

    The Perfect Wedding Venue (if you hate yourself)

    I attended a wedding at White Pine Lodge at Fort Osage Farm and the bride and groom had upgraded to the Summit package because of the additional services and coordination that were included. Unfortunately, several of the services they paid for were not provided as expected. The DJ and day-of coordination were handled by one person, which made it difficult for both roles to be adequately fulfilled. The venue itself has a lot of potential, but ultimately the family felt that the level of service did not match what was represented in the package they purchased. They have requested a partial refund to account for the services that were not provided. My biggest advice to couples considering this venue would be to carefully review exactly who is responsible for each service and confirm in writing how those responsibilities will be staffed and carried out on your wedding weekend. Just in case he deletes the comments, the wedding coordinator responded to an earlier negative review threatening a lawsuit for defamation. I don’t know where owners Kim and Bob Luke are but they are clearly not running things anymore. Nick Luke is running the business and responding rude and unprofessionally by minimizing the family’s concerns. Catering and photography were NOT a part of his team, these were people that the bride and groom paid for separately. Nick’s team was just himself and the bartender, I’m sure just to increase profits for himself. Ask yourself what kind of professionalism you expect in the people you do business with before booking this venue.

    Do Not Use this avenue

    Me and my wife had our wedding at Fort Osage Christmas Trees & Weddings. The total cost of the package was 6,600. We selected The Summit package rather than the Basic Wedding Package, which was approximately 3,799, specifically because of the additional services and resources represented as being included in the premium package. After reviewing the services provided and comparing them to the contractual obligations, we believe that White Pine Lodge mislead us in the agreement. 1. DJ Services and Day of Coordination — “Team 919” Throughout the agreement, the contract references “Team 919” in connection with the fulfillment of DJ Services and Day of Coordination roles. Due to utilizing “team” in the contractual language, our reasonable understanding was that these roles would be adequately staffed with 2 individuals and performed as separate functions consistent with the premium package we purchased. Instead, the team had only one individual, Nick Luke, who was responsible for simultaneously performing the DJ and Day of Coordinator role. This arrangement affected the level of service provided and resulted in certain contractual responsibilities not being adequately performed during our wedding. The deficiencies we experienced included: - Restroom supplies not being adequately monitored and/or replenished; - Nightly cleanup responsibilities not being properly completed - Frequent Absence from DJ booth - Day-of coordination responsibilities not being consistently performed throughout the evening, including specifically tasks identified in the contract (E.g Unloading of Alcohol) Our decision to purchase the substantially more expensive Summit package was based, in part, on the additional services and resources represented by the contract. A team is defined as a “group of people working together to achieve a shared goal”. Had the contract explicitly expressed that the DJ and Day of Coordinator functions would effectively be performed by one individual simultaneously, we would have gone a different direction with the services being purchased. 2. Friday — Day-Before Decorating and Reception Pre-Placement - The Summit package also included Friday Day Before Early Access Decorating from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM on August 21, 2026, as well as Thursday Before Reception Pre-Placement, including linen placement. At the scheduled 10:00 AM start time on Friday, the necessary linens had not been provided by the venue. As a result, we were unable to utilize the contracted decorating and reception pre-placement period as intended. The availability of this four-hour period was a specific benefit included in the premium package for which we paid for. Because the necessary materials were not available at the beginning of the contracted access period, White Pine Lodge was unable to provide the full benefit of the agreed-upon service. 3. Wedding Sign Add-On — 90 Value This add-on was not provided. No wedding sign displaying our names was placed in front of the venue as agreed. Requested Resolution We requested resolution with owners Kim and Bob Luke on issues that we experienced on one of the biggest days of our life. We instead got mistreated by there son Nick Luke who runs the wedding business for them. I would highly recommend that you DO NOT do business with Fort Osage Christmas Trees and Weddings.
