We're getting married!

Things To Do

We are so excited for all of our friends and family to explore our new city. We put together a list of some of our favorite places by neighborhood. Here is a breakout. 1) BROOKSIDE This is where we live and where the wedding venue is. 2) THE PLAZA All of our hotel blocks are here, as it's walkable to tons of shops, restaurants, and bars. It's a 10 minute drive to our wedding venue. 3) WESTPORT Closeby the Plaza, it has cute shops and restaurant. 3) 39TH STREET AREA This is mid-town and reminded us a bit of Brooklyn when we moved here. 4) CROSSROADS/DOWNTOWN Our first home in KC was here and we loved hopping around to all of the different breweries and restaurants here. 5) RIVERMARKET This is a section of downtown with a big farmer's market on Sunday and has a historic feel.
