Thirteen years ago, this guy brought a rose and a stuffed bear to my table at Parent/Teacher conferences. I was in my second year of teaching High School English, he was a Senior in College, and we were one month away from “officially” being boyfriend and girlfriend. ❤️ Today, we are off on an adventure with our three precious valentines, both full time in our business, and getting ready to start season six and surpass 1,000 weddings at The Brim since March of 2020. Who would have ever dreamed?! 😍 Thankful for a valentine to dream and do life with. It’s not always perfect, and it’s not always easy. But we make each other better, and we choose each other every day. PS. I watched our youngest play with the bear this morning. 💕 🧸

Marriage matters is more than just a catchy “slogan”. It is what drives us in every aspect of our business decisions, reminding us what TRULY matters when we help people invest in marriage over wedding. We believe this investment starts long before two people get engaged. In fact, we believe it starts before they even meet. ❤️ Brix Speed Dating has been the fruit of that idea- that making marriage matter in our community includes helping people find each other in the sea of online dating. To take this one step further, we’ve decided to start a matchmaking piece of Brix- where we gather data from singles to build a sea of profiles, then reach out to them when we see a potential match. And, like several things we do, we’re giving away the first 300 profiles for free! 🥳 Sixty have already been claimed- let’s help KC singles find their match!

Last night we traded Brim polos and leggings for statement earrings and stilettos, as we celebrated being finalists for Venue of the Year at the .kansascity Wedding Vendor Choice Awards! 😍🔥 I wanted nothing more than for our dedicated team to be celebrated on stage, with our venue name and photo projected behind them. But the truth is, we won long before any hardware was handed out to deserving winners. 💕 It’s a win when we have so many incredible team members that we can’t fit them all at a VIP finalist table. It’s a win when we are the ones our encouraging Wedding Vendor peers thought of when writing in “Best Venue”- top 4 out of the hundreds of amazing spaces in KC. It’s a win when a bride calls us in tears because she can now get married at our space in two weeks- instead of the courthouse. It’s a win when we think back (not that long ago) to the days of portapotties, a gravel pathway, and some poles- to a name dreamed up behind a desk and to a start up turned into full time for us both. 🥹 It’s a win, and an absolute pleasure to serve 280+ couples a year and to work alongside all the hardworking vendors who show up for someone’s “best day ever.” It’s good to stay humble and hungry, but gosh are we ever grateful, thankful, and so incredibly proud of our team. Our perfect “after party” in the hotel lobby consisted of Pizza Shuttle and margs, swapping stories + goals, and laughing so hard we cried. We are blessed beyond measure. What a fun night. ❤️

Friday Night we hosted our First Veraison Marriage Workshop of 2025! 🥰 Sixteen couples joined us to invest in their marriages and learn from the always talented and engaging speaker . These workshops are free with a refundable deposit to save each couple’s space- because (just like with our free weddings) we truly believe that there shouldn’t be any barrier to strengthening your marriage together. ❤️ Special thanks to our amazing vendor friends and for the amazing food.

Walking out of 2024 with such a grateful and full heart. ❤️ This was the year we got to help 285 (!!!) wonderful couples say “I Do” at our space. Stopped working in every room of our house and bought a new one with a dedicated office space. 👏🏽 Paid off the reception space and hosted 114 full receptions in it. Started Brix Speed Dating (and had at least one confirmed couple that’s been dating ever since 🥳). Won the Best Micro-Event Space at the Couple’s Choice Awards. Grew our Brim Staff to 20 and found such life in group chats with co-workers that I’m not married to. 🙈 Coordinated 92 😮 events with our incredible, compassionate, above and beyond team. Paid for someone else to clean my house for the first time ever. Hosted 78 cake and toasts for those wanting an affordable reception option. Slung holiday drinks for friends, neighbors, and past couples at Snowed In. Won Best Wedding Venue in Kansas City (back to back😍). Put an away message up for Mondays and truly took a “day off” most weeks. Held two Veraison Workshops for 40 couples who chose to invest in their marriage with us. Opened doors and fluffed dresses for 66 free ceremonies. Absolutely cannot believe we get to do this for people. 😭 What a gift- what a year. Happy New Year to all. 2025 Couples: we are SO excited and honored to celebrate you THIS YEAR!!

Eleven and a half years in and we are still figuring out this marriage thing (and we’re having a lot of fun doing it 😉)! We’ve learned SO much along our Brim journey, but one thing has specifically come to mind lately: marriage matters, and investing in it is a lifelong process. And we believe that so strongly that we’re actually offering three different opportunities to invest in marriage alongside us within the next month! ❤️ 😍Single, or know someone who is? Join us for Brix Speed Dating on Thursday, 1/2. Investing in marriage starts before you even meet your person! 💍 Engaged or Newly Married? Our next Veraison Premarital Workshop on Friday, 1/10 is perfect for you! Short, secular, and free with a refundable deposit.

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!

07/10/2024

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! 🥳

10/09/2024

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. 💕

07/09/2024

It’s September, the weather is perfect, and we’re FINALISTS for BOTH “Best Wedding Reception Venue” and “Best Wedding Venue”!!! 😍❤️🥳 🙈 We would absolutely be honored to have your vote for both categories- links below Also, how beautiful are these photos by ?

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. 💕
