Kim and Bob are so amazing. They were so easy to work with and if we needed anything the day of our wedding they were there within a few minutes. I accidentally locked the bridal suite key inside and Bob came very quickly to unlock it. I loved having a separate bridal and groom suite to get ready in. Our guests loved the idea of being outside and also inside for the reception. The venue is so beautiful you really don’t need a lot of decor outside the pines speak for themselves; it’s breathtaking. I would 1000% do it again at their venue.

We had the pleasure of having our wedding here September 2023 & when I say this place is absolutely beautiful, it’s authentic! Kim & Bob were so kind and helped me with any questions I may had during the entire process, in a quick and timely manner! Our wedding was so beautiful our guests still talk about it till this day. The pricing was very affordable and we had around 130 guests come that day. The space was awesome because there was enough space people could move around and have a good time! This is a Christmas tree farm so you can always go out to the venue during the holiday season and visit as well!
Any questions?

This was the perfect venue for our Cinderella wedding! Kim and her husband were great to work with. Kim is very detailed. Our day couldn't have gone better!
I love that it has an outdoor area for the ceremony and an indoor building for the reception. It's just beautiful! The venue had everything we needed such as a brides room and a grooms room, bar, kitchen area, ect.
I highly recommend this venue & business!

This venue couldn’t have been more perfect for our special day! From the tour to the wedding day communication was clear and consistent. The outdoor ceremony area among the pine trees is so breathtaking, and the lodge reception area is so spacious, and has a big outdoor deck that guests loved.
not to mention the price being very fair and more affordable, but I would have chose this venue no matter the price.

Our special day was just that, so very special thanks to Kim and Bob at Fort Osage! They worked so hard to have the outside venue ready for our big day. I believe we were the first ones to get married under the pines! They were so easy to work with and accommodating for our friends and family. We would get married there again in a heart beat. It was beautiful. We love Fort Osage so much that we come back every year to get our fresh Christmas tree. Kim and Bob, thank you so much for all the special memories we have from your venue!

I can’t say enough amazing things about Fort Osage Christmas Trees & Weddings!! Kim was SO amazing to work with and the venue was absolutely stunning. It was the perfect place to get married. A ceremony under the tall pines & the building on the property made the most wonderful reception hall/getting ready space.
We got married back in 2020 and I am still screaming from the rooftops about this venue!

Kim and Bob did an amazing job on our wedding day! There was a plan A, B, and C depending on weather or anything else if something went wrong! They let us have our space, but would be there at a moments notice if we needed absolutely anything! I would highly recommend White Pine Lodge for your event!
