We're intentionally creating the evening to be small and intimate—think of it as being invited into our home for a celebratory dinner, just with a bit more fanfare.
Please RSVP (on this website) anytime prior to August 12, 2026. We're so excited to celebrate with you and a final headcount at this time helps us to plan for a fun weekend.
While neither of us is changing our last name, we will lovingly go by the Willis-Walkers. Feel free to address cards or gifts to "Mr. and Mrs. Willis-Walker," "The Willis-Walkers," or "Mr. Ryan Walker & Mrs. Cate Willis."
Black tie attire is encouraged but not required. Tuxedos and floor-length gowns are welcome, as is a dark suit or formal cocktail dress. Note: The ceremony and cocktail hour will be outside on the lawn, with dinner moving inside the home.
The ceremony will begin at 5:30PM. We ask you to please arrive at 5:00PM and enjoy a welcome drink before the ceremony!
The Simpson House has a large parking lot on site. If you'd prefer not to drive, there are several hotel options within walking distance of the venue, as well as options downtown that are right off the KC Streetcar.
We are planning to accommodate food allergies and sensitivities to the best of our ability. When filling out your RSVP (see 'RSVP' tab on this website), you will be asked to list these so we can plan for your meal.
To allow all guests a night of relaxation, we have chosen to make our special day adults-only.
To keep the evening as intimate as possible, we ask that you bring only the guests named on your invitation.
