Our ceremony and reception will be at the same venue. Our venue is Cedar Valley Forest located at 29145 W. 83rd St. De Soto, KS 66018.
In Kansas, September can be quite warm and humid considering it is the end of summer. Rain is also a possibility for that time of year.
Weather permitting, we will have our ceremony and possibly cocktail hour outdoors. Our reception will be inside on property. If weather does come our way, we will plan to have our ceremony inside where the reception will be.
We are planning to have a cocktail hour for our guests immediately following the ceremony. This time will allow the wedding party to have time for photos, and get ready for the reception.
We invite you to be fully present with us during our ceremony. Please join us in an unplugged ceremony by turning off your phones, cameras, and other devices. For our reception, please feel free to take as many photos and videos as you would like!
Unfortunately our budget does not allow for every guest to bring a plus one. If you are allowed one, it will indicate so on your invitation/RSVP.
We kindly suggest that men wear a suit or dress shirt with tie and semi-formal attire such as a cocktail-length dress or dressy separates for women.
We kindly request that guests refrain from wearing jeans to our wedding. We want to create a special and elegant atmosphere for our celebration, and your adherence to this dress code will contribute to the overall ambiance of the event. We also request that our guests refrain from wearing white or ivory to help the bride stand out on our special day. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to celebrating this joyous occasion with you!
If you have an allergy or dietary restrictions, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can communicate them with our caterer. We want all of our guests to be able to enjoy the food we will be providing.
Our wedding registry is located on our wedding website under the registry tab.
We are asking our guests to please contribute to our honeymoon fund, instead of sending us gifts. We are very grateful to already have everything we need for our home.
Under the Things To Do tab, we have a few suggestions for things to do, and places to eat or shop.
Unfortunately we will not be reserving blocks of rooms for our wedding. We do have several suggestions for hotels under our Travel tab on our website.
If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to email Gabe or I and we will get back with you as soon as we can! Gabe’s email - mgdlr27@gmail.com Taiylor’s email - taiylorblanck@gmail.com
