Thankful doesn’t really even begin to describe it. 🥹 For my rock star husband. For these three precious babies and the one we hold in our hearts. For this space, the views, the chapel. For an incredible, selfless, servant-minded team who constantly goes above and beyond and inspires me daily. For healthy bodies and minds, and for the chance to see a dream become reality- and do our absolute best to bless others with what we’ve been given. For the couples who choose to celebrate their start to forever with us. And for the privilege to be a part of the Kansas City Wedding Community. Yesterday we were nominated for four awards by our wedding vendor peers, and I know of no higher honor. What a joy to love couples alongside you all. Thank you, thank you. Thankful truly doesn’t begin to describe it. ❤️

Pretty fun night last night when our beautiful (free!) chapel on the hill won Best Micro-Event Space at the Couple’s Choice Awards! 🥳 ⛪️ We are so grateful for our amazing team who makes serving 280+ weddings in a year possible. This award recognizes our intimate ceremonies and cake and toasts specifically, and we are truly so honored. 🥹 (And yes, there are options to use our chapel for free during the week. There’s a couple doing so as I type this!) Thank you so much!!

Finishing up our last two October weddings today and tomorrow. Never going to be over this view, or the fact that FORTY THREE couples said I do at The Brim this month. 😮🥳 So proud of our amazing staff and so grateful for this gorgeous space we get to share with so many. ❤️ Cheers to you, October!

September: 34 Weddings. 19 amazing staff members. One husband going Tik Tok viral as the . Two very tired and grateful parents/business owners. And a HECK of a sunset at a FREE wedding chapel we’ll never, ever be over. 😍 (PS. We’re finalists for the Couple’s Choice Awards and I put the link in stories if you want to support us.) October is rolling and we are thrilled to serve each and every couple we are blessed with! 🥳

This right here is my literal dream come true. 😍😭 A TEAM of beautiful, intelligent, kind, down to earth, confident, and compassionate women who work diligently at the space we own (never gonna be over that) 🥹❤️. Dreams were coming true on so many levels as we gathered together for margs and laughs and snacks in our brand new home, swapping “how I joined the team” stories and goals and dreams- including a team lock in (which may or may not include scooters). 🤣 I laughed so hard I cried, but I can’t quite put into words the way my heart exploded last night. These ladies (plus a few more- and also our incredible guys), they are the ones who make the magic, who calm the stress, wipe the tears, hold the veils and put out the (non-literal) fires. I promise you, you will feel it at our space. The Brim simply would not be possible without each one of them and their unique skills and personalities. They deserve more shout outs than they’ll ever allow because they are as humble as they are hustlers and helpers. We, as a team, are beyond thrilled to serve you and go above and beyond on your big day- because you, and your marriage- they matter. 💕

Every scuff has a story. Every shoe a wearer, every person who walks this aisle- a passion and a purpose. ❤️ Every wedding different and uniquely beautiful, just like the people who fill these seats. Who carry flowers and small children, joy and excitement, maybe a tissue to balance feelings of simultaneous grief. Each week, Aaron and I have a day kid-free that we spend working at The Brim. Sometimes it includes Zoom meetings and Power Hours, almost always a tour, some linen sorting, and toilet scrubbing. And yesterday, it included mowing and cleaning shoe scuffs down the aisle. Which led me to this reflection. Do I sometimes wish the scuff heavy rental dress shoes would go away? Do some of the weekly upkeep tasks get monotonous? Sure. But really, isn’t this what it’s all about? Giving our all always, loving and serving our couples and their guests, being so grateful to see our space loved and used by so many. A literal dream come true, with every step that echoes down this aisle. Aaron and I have always sought to use our marriage to serve others, and yesterday it looked like this. 💕

BEST WEDDING VENUE IN KC (BACK TO BACK)!!! 🥳😍💕🙈🥰 Thrilled, honored, proud, humbled- the list goes on and on. To start with a field and some poles (just babies ourselves, wrangling our own babies) and to make it to where we are: serving 270 couples this year alone and approaching our 1,000th wedding since 2020. I could cry. 😭 An incredible dream come true with commitment and the faithful support of so many. What a blessing. There are some really hard days and some really amazing ones, but through it all we are so proud of our team and the way they march alongside us to help make marriage matter in our community and to give our all for these couples and their big day. We are so grateful for all of the couples who have chosen us to start forever with. Free ceremonies, cake and toasts, and full receptions- we’re here for each of you and we have something for all of you with our free chapel on a hill! Thank you so much, Kansas City!! ❤️

A chapel on a hill with spectacular views and breathtaking sunset. A reception space across the way with the same, just the right size. ❤️ An unbelievable story, free (yes, free) weekday ceremonies, and a package for everyone’s needs. Does it get any better? We think not. If you agree, we’d love to have your nomination for The Pitch Kansas City's Best of KC “Best Wedding Reception Venue” and “Best Wedding Venue”. You can nominate us for both using the links below before it closes on 7/26. Thank you so much for your love and support!

Thirty three June weddings, preparing to move, three kids, two trips, and a baseball season later- yes, we are alive! 🤣❤️ It’s been a little more quiet around here for the last month- but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t been busy. In the midst of the full season we’re in, I hope I never, ever stop being amazed at the beauty of this space and what people start here together- a new chapter, forever and ever. We are so grateful. 😍

15/06/2024

Today’s our favorite day: June 15th: our wedding anniversary, and the day we opened both the chapel and the reception space. ❤️ I guess that makes it the chapel’s third birthday and the reception space’s first birthday!! Wild to think it’s only been a year since we said goodbye to our portapotties and tent receptions. 🥳 It’s been eleven years since our own first dance in our church’s “ministry center” aka nice version of a gym- but I never would have dreamed we’d be where we are today. So grateful!

Do you have helping hands? We’re looking for some. We’re looking for hands that will love and serve hundreds and hundreds of couples alongside our team- each playing a pivotal role in a long line of hospitality that starts with the first email and ends with the couple leaving our driveway at the end of their best day. ❤️ Hands that will open doors, set chairs, fluff trains, and (yes) scrub toilets. Hands that will pop bottles and pass tissues to Dad before he walks her down the aisle. Hands that will willingly jump in to all this and more (even when it’s “not our job”), that will place linens and decor with care and wipe up spills with kindness and precision. Hands that belong to someone with a positive attitude and a calm presence, someone also available on nights and weekends (preferably once a week- or more.) 🥳

If these hands sound like yours, here are your next steps. 1. Send us an email (it’s on the bottom of our website). In the subject line, put your first and last name, along with the title “I Have Helping Hands”. If you don’t do that, we won’t read your email. 😉 You can tell us anything you want to about yourself- attach a resume if you’d like, but you don’t have to. We believe you can learn what we need to teach you.

2. Create a one minute video answering this question: “What does service mean to you?” Make sure we can access and view it from your email.

From there, if we like you, we’ll call and invite you to meet with us. If we believe you can lend some helping hands to the team, we’ll get you set up and trained. Looking forward to hearing from you! 😍

Best of KC FINALISTS!! 🥳 Ahhh!! In the midst of a 34 wedding month, new bookings, the end of school, tours, and lots of change coming for our family, we are overwhelmed by the support of our couples, family, friends, and community. ❤️ We would be SO honored to have your final vote for ‘s Best Wedding Venue! Here's the link- it only takes a second. 😉 https://vote.kansascitymag.com/wedding/best-wedding-venue

Thank you for rallying around our desire to make marriage matter and to invest in marriage over wedding day. We love our space and those we are blessed to share it with!

Five years ago, I was sitting behind a classroom desk, newly pregnant with our second child and dreaming of a space that could exist on the land we owned. Some way, some how, some day, it would happen. ❤️We would invest in marriage and offer premarital workshops, and it would be called The Brim. Four days ago, I sat in a coffee shop working on contracts with that very name on them. I overheard a couple of girls across the room talking about wedding planning and a wedding one was recently in at a “cute venue near Smithville”. As I heard her say the name of the space, the same one that was stitched onto the polo I was wearing, I smiled. I didn’t reveal myself, but just knowing this is where we are now: three babies, two buildings, and hundreds of weddings later- being talked about in coffee shops and Facebook groups- a wave of gratitude swept over me. Now I send some of the same students that sat in my classroom down our aisle. 😍 How wild and wonderful and incredible, what a joy and an honor to be here with you and for you. Grateful is forever an understatement.
