No!
Our top priority is that all of our guests are comfortable and can enjoy themselves! Our wedding dress code is formal/cocktail. For women, we suggest a floor length or midi length dress and for men, a suit and tie. No tuxes.
Weather permitting our ceremony will be outside underneath the gazebo on property. We will NOT have the ceremony outside if it is too cold or raining. The cocktail hour will also be outdoors on the terrace, weather permitting. The reception will be indoors.
No children or babies of any age are invited.
We highly recommend you stay on property at The Elms. We have a room block for our guests to take advantage of. There are no ubers or lyfts in the area, so getting around to another residence or KC will be difficult.
We would love to make sure you feel comfortable to enjoy yourself and it would be our pleasure to accommodate any food allergies. Please let us know when you RSVP.
Bridesmaids will be in black dresses, groomsmen will be in black suits and white dress shirts.
Every guest is invited to the welcome party! We would love to kick off the weekend with you.
Please utlize Uber or Lyft from MCI to The Elms. There are no ubers in Excelsior Springs, so we are providing a shuttle for our guests who need transportation from The Elms to MCI on Sunday, 10/18. Please let us know if you are flying so we can count you in!
Maddy and Jim have gone to The Elms every year for Maddy's birthday, starting when we first started dating. It has become a special place and favorite tradition for us - something we are so excited to share with you!
