Mildale Farm

time to set up and tear down without taking away from the wedding weekend festivities. It was wonderful having the two houses for the parties to get ready separately and for one party to stay the night the night before the wedding. There’s plenty of room for hair and make up to come to the house as well! Sarah is the contact for the venue and she makes the process such a breeze. She’s always just an email away and never failed to be there when we needed help leading up to the wedding. I’m still getting compliments on how beautiful our venue was and I haven’t once regretted picking Mildale Farm

elpful during our wedding planning and responds quickly to any questions you have. Mildale Farm is so gorgeous on its own that it really doesn’t require much decorations. What we really liked is the size of the barn that allowed us to spread everything out and the option of doing our ceremony inside if we needed without the stress of having to flip the space. Would recommend to everyone!

tion and our Sunday brunch all at the same beautiful property. It felt like a getaway wedding even though it was 30 minutes from where I grew up. All of our guests were amazed by the beauty of Mildale and we received so many compliments on what a beautiful gem we found by choosing this reception site. Mildale will always hold a special place in our hearts. It made our wedding weekend everything I imagined it would be and more. I would strongly recommend this site for your wedding.

d groom. And the venue speaks for itself, BEAUTIFUL!!! We absolutely loved this place!!

t we wanted. Sarah, the events coordinator was so wonderful to work with. She was very responsive, answered all of my questions and then some and was so easy and enjoyable to work with. We rented to property from Thursday-Sunday and had my bridal luncheon and the rehearsal dinner there Friday and the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception on Saturday. There is a lot of information you get up front, everything was very clearly stated...but be prepared to do everything your self! The houses are fully stocked, tables and chairs are provided in 2 areas, but you have to set up/take down the tables and chairs yourself (having the venue Thursday was incredibly helpful!). We had our rehearsal dinner and ceremony behind the Estate House overlooking the water. The scenery was breathtaking. The guys got ready in the Cottage and the girls got ready in the Estate House. The cocktail hour was in-between the Cottage and Estate House under the big trees (it was hot so the shade was ideal)...it was perfect because you could see the whole property and it was beautiful. Then we had the reception in the barn with drapery on each wing and string lights in the center. We contemplated getting a dance floor and I'm so glad we did. The brick is not hard to walk on but the dance floor made dancing so much easier and enjoyable! The property is so beautiful that we stayed on the grounds for photos in-between the ceremony and reception. We rented a couple of golf carts which made the process a lot easier and quicker. Needless to say, we highly recommend this beautiful venue!

g. We allowed our wedding party to stay at the venue with us which turned our one day celebration into a whole weekend celebration-being close with all of our out of town guests was ablast. the grounds are immaculately kept and you can tell the maintenance crew puts a lot of hard work and dedication into their work. we received compliment after compliment from guests on how beautiful the venue was, as well as just random people in town when we mentioned we were having it at Mildale. Our photographer and videographer were absolutely overjoyed with how their photos were coming out that we can't wait to see them ourselves!! can't go wrong with booking at Mildale!!

setting up our ceremony and reception on Thursday and didn’t have to be out of the venue until Monday. Also, Sarah who is the lead coordinator was phenomenal to work with. We had our rehearsal on the back patio of the estate house. The scenery out there is GORGEOUS (ponds! Woods, pretty green grass, flowers! ❤️), and the large barn itself is so so so stunning and beautiful. Such a perfect setting for an outdoor or sophisticated rustic vibe. They have all the chairs and tables you’ll ever need

place, and there was the option to rent the entire property so that the family and/or wedding party could stay on-site. Sarah was wonderful to work with! She was always available to calm any nerves we had, answer questions, and provide anything we needed! The entire property is gorgeous, and I loved getting ready at the beautiful estate house. We had our rehearsal dinner at the estate house as well, and it worked out great! I can’t say enough good things about this venue and those running it. I feel incredibly blessed to have had the opportunity to get married there!

g) and we didn't want to flip the space. Mildale was perfect! The architecture and cleanliness were bonuses. Sarah was great to work with, she answered questions and provided encouragement throughout the process.

ours. If you choose this location as your venue, I can guarantee you will NOT regret it!

so many great photos. As mom of the bride, it was so nice to have the ceremony, reception, dinner & dance all in one spot so our guests didn't spend a lot of time traveling! The one downfall was the construction in August which created a little more work in getting appropriate directions out to our guests. Otherwise, a 5 star venue! Thanks Sarah for all of your help!

the grounds and houses. I would highly recommend.

to book.

imate picture of elegance and beauty. We got married 7/29/17 and we were so lucky the weather was perfect! High of 83- and for the end of July that's pretty great. We were lucky because we both wanted an outside wedding and the weather cooperated well. The whole package was a bit over our price range so we were lucky to get the 48 hour rental of the barn and then we also added on the cottage for 24 hours for getting ready. We started our barn rental Friday morning so we were able to have the rehearsal there that evening with everything set up during the day on Friday. Married on Saturday and then my friends and family had plenty of time to clean up because we "technically" had it until Sunday morning. I know the whole rental is most common but for anyone just renting the barn I would highly recommend at least the cottage as well. There isn't much extra space in the barn for getting ready or that "in-between" time before the ceremony. The cottage was valuable for the getting ready time for the bridesmaids and myself. Our photos turned out amazing and how could they not with the perfect back drop? And Sarah was incredible to work with. Every time I would email her I would specify what weekend I was getting married because how difficult would it be having all these crazy brides email you at different times and stages in the wedding planning process! She kept everything straight and always knew when to email with questions. She was so easy to work with. I also love how they have open houses- I went a couple times during the engagement process just to remind myself of the space I had when planning tables and décor and everything. Overall- it's an amazing venue and you will not be disappointed!

ridal party stayed in the estate house leading up to the wedding day and we had so much fun as it is such a gorgeous place to hang out and have time together! Sarah V. was such an amazing help and was so flexible with giving us tours and helped with logistics every step of the way! She was so sweet and answered any questions we had! Our rehearsal dinner was in the back of the Estate House patio and it is just such a truly gorgeous venue! There are ponds, a white fence surrounding the property, railroads nearby, a completely renovated house, and incredible Barn venue which we had our reception in! It is what we had always dreamt up for a wedding venue and the grounds crew keeps the flowers, 22 acres of land, and brick all so beautiful! So many guests kept talking about how it was stunning to be out in the country with the stars above us! I am so thankful for Sarah V and Mildale Farm for an unforgettable weekend!

emely patient and helpful. We couldn't have pulled off our wedding without her and all of the open house opportunities! Definitely recommend this venue!

was a dream to work with. She answered my endless emails and questions with such patience. The fact that we could book the venue for 4 days was wonderful. It allowed us to have the rehearsal dinner there and have time to set everything up before the wedding without being overly stressed. There are two houses on the property that worked out perfectly for the bride and groom and their wedding parties to stay on site the night before the wedding as well and my husband and I so we could be hands on while getting everything ready. The wedding turned out beautifully and everything ran so smoothly during the transition from the wedding to the cocktail hour to the reception as the space was big enough to accommodate all three. The groundskeepers were on site and were very helpful with anything we needed. It turned out to be the perfect venue for my daughter's perfect day!

NG!!! Loved having my wedding there :)

ss from Thursday - Sunday. It allows for plenty of time to set up, rehearsal dinner, etc. And, more than anything, you feel like the place is yours for a weekend! Every time I drive past Mildale, I'll think of what an amazing weekend we had there!

-down without having to worry about strict deadlines. We had our ceremony and reception in the barn and got so many comments about how gorgeous it was. Book it early because it fills up quick!

taff was very professional and we look forward to working with them!

and reception here. I can't imagine a more perfect place for our wedding! The thing we heard most from our guests was how beautiful the property was and several little girls decided that night that's where they wanted to get married :)

menal. She was responsive to my emails and never acted annoyed with my many questions. She provided multiple layouts from previous couples who used the venue and was overall great to work with. The venue itself: breathtaking. Though pricey for the full rental, it is totally worth it. We held our rehearsal dinner on site and my bridesmaids and I were able to stay at The Estate the night before the wedding. The Estate fits up to 8 people and provides you anything you can think of minus the actual food and beverage and personal items (i.e. flatware, plates, bowls, coffee pot, coffee cups, trash bags, toilet paper, towels, etc.). The guys were able to get ready on Saturday in the Cottage and we were able to keep separate before the festivities but still close enough we didn't have to worry about transportation issues. Mildale allows you to bring a golf cart if decided. We would definitely recommend bringing one if you have access to them. Mildale also has 9 fishing ponds that my husband took full advantage of the few days leading up the wedding! It was a nice, relaxing way for him to get his mind off the stress of the upcoming nuptials. You are required to have a state fishing license, but the county fishing license is waived - so a simple $30 at Wal-Mart to enjoy a few days of fishing stocked ponds. We have nothing negative to say about our experience with Mildale. We would definitely recommend having an event coordinator, or someone who can help keep things moving along as there is no staff provided with the rental. You are responsible for all set up, tear down, & clean up. Nothing a few good family and friends can't help with ;)

tate house and cottage for family guests and pre and post wedding events. The ceremony was held on the beautiful estate patio and the reception was stunning inside the lovely barn. Sarah was so professional and helpful to answer any questions we had or meet any of our needs while on property. Mildale provided the dream come true wedding venue for my daughter as well as our family and guests. Amazing experience!

on wedding right here in Kansas City. Working with Sarah and her team was so wonderful- they were always available to answer questions and responded quickly. Really great to have the ceremony and reception all in one place and could not have asked for a more beautiful backdrop to marry the love of my life. Such a perfect experience :)

inside and there is plenty of space for different ceremony and reception locations in the Barn or outside. The venue needs to provide WiFi on the property. As others have said, the main issue is setting up and taking down the tables and chairs.

king, the staff are a joy to work with as well. Sarah was very accommodating and was very prompt to answer any questions. Overall, it was a gorgeous, relaxing weekend...Mildale Farm just added to the magic!

days, making it a dream for our wedding party to stay for several nights of pure fun. We had our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception on site and it was amazing.

veness were wonderful throughout the entire process. We arranged for the whole property from Thursday through Monday, during which we had multiple events in both the main house and the barn. The ability to provide comfortable accommodations for ten of us in the two houses was terrific, and both the grounds and the buildings were all beautifully maintained and gorgeous. Accessibility for our guests with limited mobility was quite good, and we were able to comfortably plan for inclement weather (even though it turned out to be gorgeous and perfect throughout!). Our guests were all amazed by this special place, and we will forever be thankful that Mildale Farm was where we shared our fairytale weekend.

n tip top shape. I would recommend this venue as the perfect place for photo ops as well! It is extremely convenient to have all the wedding events in one location.

ng! Sarah worked with us from the beginning, always there for us with questions, and there to help us through any hiccups! Very professional and understand, I must say they are the all around company to work with when planning your special day! But the truth is, one look is all you need, it is truly the most beautiful place and stepping foot inside is magical!

on the property and enjoy this special time in your life with your family, friends and wedding party is hard to beat. The story behind how this became a top wedding venue is magical, and the parks and recreation truly leaves every detail in their work of keeping this place so perfect from the grounds to the gardens. Mildale farm is a rarity; it allows you to build your dream wedding however you like in addition to enjoying the property as if it's your own. It truly felt like we got married at home.

d really requires minimal decorating because it's beautiful on its own. We opted for an outdoor ceremony by the estate house and had the reception in the barn. Although I REALLY wanted an outdoor wedding, i could rest assured knowing the barn was large enough to accomodate both the ceremony and reception if need be (we had abundant sunshine the day of:)). The staff for mildale including Sarah V and the groundskeepers were all great to work with and eager to help answer any questions. This was a perfect venue for our day and we enjoyed every minute. We wouldn't mind coming back for an anniversary party in the future :)

lp. Along with great service the venue is beautiful! We could not be happier.

edding weekend to measure/re-measure, take pictures, etc. She always responded quickly to any emails we sent, and is super friendly! We had the entire bridal party stay in the houses the whole weekend. We set up on Thursday and Friday with the help of family and friends. We had a semi-DIY florist come in on Friday morning to teach us how to make our own bouquets/boutonnieres/corsages /centerpieces/etc and we used one of the wings in the barn for this—worked out perfectly! There was even space to store all of the flowers to keep them looking their best. We had the ceremony by the pond behind the house near the patio, and it was gorgeous—absolutely perfect! After the reception, it was so much fun for the bridal party to be together and not worry about driving to a hotel. We actually all just came back to the large house after the reception and kept hanging out. Everything about the farm is absolutely beautiful and all of our guests were so impressed by the property. No vendors are included, so you have to bring everything in. You start with a blank slate, but that means you can turn it into your dream wedding and have it exactly how you want it. Highly recommend Mildale Farm for the best wedding atmosphere and experience!

had questions she had answers. Moving forward to the week of: on Thursday our wedding party and is moved into Mildale go kick off the event. Our family and close friends came out that evening to enjoy a simple shrimp boil, game of kickball and drinks by the bonfire. On Friday our vendors, family and friends all came together to put all of our hard work and planning in place. We decorated the barn, set up for rehearsal and enjoyed the wide open space this venue offers. We then hosted the rehearsal dinner which included the wedding party, family and friends. By choosing this venue we were able to host 130 guest just for rehearsal. Everyone loved this approach, they were not confined to a hotel. We of course ended our night at the putting green and bonfire pit. We woke up Saturday morning and it was amazing! All of our vendors came to us. I can honestly say I did not feel rushed or overwhelmed at any point during the getting ready stage, because I was already at the venue I was marrying my best friend! We took as many pictures as possible before the ceremony but did not reveal each other until exactly 5pm. Our ceremony took place on the back patio of the estate house with the house in the background. We then hosted a cocktail hour while we were taking pictures on the driveway near the estate house garage. Our guests then moved to the barn for the reception. We hosted 220 guests. The barn had so much space to place everyone and everything perfectly. The weather was absolutely perfect, during the reception we hosted "back yard" games on the front lawn fit our guests to enjoy. We did not serve s traditional sit down meal we had different appetizers throughout the evening for our guest to enjoy along with an open bar. Our wedding reception was by far the best of 2015!!! On Sunday we invited everyone back out for a simple parfait breakfast and coffee bar. We also opened all gifts during this time. We then took some time reflecting on everyone's memories from the night before. The remainder of the day we cleaned up and enjoyed each other's company. Monday we checked out and left for Dubai!!! Words can not describe how perfect Mildale Farm was for us. If you are looking for a venue that you can make "yours", this place is for you!! With Love, Ashley

s that that is where the Reception will be held. We were having an Outdoor wedding and Reception at the Estate House Patio.There were a lot of tables and chairs that had to be moved in order to make that happen.There is plenty of room for out of town guest at the Estate and Cottage House. There are a lot of Parking Spots available up at the Barn and down close to the Patio area.Ramps available for Wheelchairs.Very beautiful,Scenic and Private Location.

given our families and friends an unforgettable wedding in a beautiful landscape!

ly responded to any questions we had as we planned for the event and the on-site staff worked very hard the days leading up to the wedding to ensure the property looked beautiful and it truly was a beautiful weekend!

y and had the decorator and DJ set up Friday. We also held the rehearsal dinner on Friday followed by a bonfire by the pond and had the bridal party spend the night in the large house. It was so nice not having much to do on our actual wedding day other than get ready and go out onto the brick patio to get married!! Nothing was dirty, damaged, or out of place when we arrived, there were no surprises regarding the rental agreement, and it was awesome having their tables, chairs, and arbor to use. It was beautiful and exactly what we wanted!! I wouldn't change a single thing about or big day. Thank you Sarah at Mildale for making sure our venue was perfect!!! - Kim & Scott

r a second 24 hour block which gave us the opportunity to be apart of the low stress setup as well as have our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner there. The barn layout is great for couples who want the ceremony and reception in the same location without having to "flip" the space. Sarah was wonderful to work with. She is quick to respond and genuinely cares about your day. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day!

ding party. My daughter has a degree in Interior Design so we needed more than a few hours to make her vision come true! We had great support and loved working with the Mildale Farm/Johnson county Parks and Recreation people. We were a little worried about the weather on Nov.1, but having the option of in or outside was nice, too and either way, its just a beautiful venue! We had so many people tell us that this was like wedding should be in a Wedding magazine, so we think we hit a home run! Thanks again, Mildale Farm, and Sarah and Katie, for all the help and understanding. Cathy Love, Oklahoma City, OK, November 6, 2014

nd the Estate house and then had bonfires at their amazingly large bonfire pit (stocked with lots of cut wood), most nights we were there! The only down side is they don't provide help for set up and clean up, but I felt that having the property from Thursday afternoon through Monday morning made up for this, and definitely if you have a lot of help from the wedding party/family, this is plenty of time so that you aren't stressed the morning of the big day!! The grounds are very well maintained and absolutely gorgeous, I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone who wants either an outdoor ceremony or a barn style wedding reception.

n easy transition because of the floorplan of the barn. I would definitely recommend this location for any special event. My only recommendation is for the chair inventory to be checked for safety. Otherwise, it was perfect.

so many options. It was affordable for us and we had the option to be inside or outside. We are glad we chose this venue for our daughters wedding.

estination wedding feel without having to leave the city. We loved the fact we could check in on Thursday and not leave until Monday morning with plenty of room for family/wedding party to stay as well. The photos from this venue are spectacular. All of our guests were blown away by how gorgeous and unique this place is. Of course, nothing is perfect. They do not provide any add on's even for a cost. Without getting into the nitty gritty details, the biggest hurdle for us to overcome was the fact there is no staff on site to help with the set-up or tear down.

town guests and this was a great way for everyone to get to know one another. There are so many options here. It is a lot of work putting it together and tearing it down. If you have the extra cash, I'd hire out but we were able to do it and still have time to enjoy our company! Also, we spoke with Katie w/ Mildale and she was such a wonderful/nice person and will answer any questions. Very friendly staff. I would highly recommend.

A total dream come true!

r venue or to have both ceremony and reception at the same location. Loved it!

enue itself was absolutely gorgeous! They have several options as far as renting the space goes to meet your budget ranging from a 24 hour rental ($2,000) to a full weekend rental ($8,500). Such a picturesque venue that made you feel as though you'd traveled somewhere out of state. The venue included 400 white padded chairs and tons of tables of different sizes to choose from. The Estate house and Cottage provided plenty of space for the bridal party and family members to stay for the weekend which made for a much smoother/stress free wedding weekend. The possibilities are endless when you book your wedding with Mildale Farm! If I could do it all over again, I would change absolutely nothing! It was just perfect!

s. We hired in help for this, but honestly it is so worth it. We loved having the cottage to get ready in, and the barn is really a vision.

day but it worked out fine booking the package. The staff/maintenance on the property were very helpful and friendly. Loved loved loved this place!

have to do everything yourself or have it all hired out. We opted to do a lot ourselves, which required that we have a bunch of our family and friends helping set up and tear down, and it definitely took the entire 4 day weekend to do so. But looking back it was more than worth it, and I can say that it was absolutely perfect and unique to us.

and they are easy to work with. Unfortunately they don't set up and tear down the tables and chairs for you which would help to justify the high cost. The price is why I only have 4 stars. Beautiful beautiful location though.

. the beautiful brick drive that winds up to the barn is amazing. we loved that it is so secluded with nothing else surrounding it besides nature. if you haven't ever been to mildale, you HAVE to make a trip to see it...you won't regret it. our pictures turned out so beautiful. we had the actual wedding outside in front of the barn, then had the reception inside the barn. another thing that drew us in with mildale is that it's so beautiful by itself that it doesn't need a lot of decorating. so, my advice if you're considering mildale for your wedding is...absolutely go for it. you won't regret it andm your guests will fall in love with it, just like you will!! stella

benefits. When I first got to Mildale Farm on my wedding day I was able to unlock the gates. It was amazing to have a moment to myself and to visualize what was going to take place that day. Everything came together beautifully and I got many compliments about how it beautiful it was. Many people told me it was the best wedding they had ever been to and they had wished they had gotten married in a place like this. Mildale Farm is extremely recommended and I will never forget the beautiful place that made my day memorable! Bobbi Rickerson

s and their wives and my parents settled into the estate house and small cottage we had the most wonderful long weekend. It was like having a destination wedding right at home! The size of the houses, all the amenities, the BEAUTIFUL grounds and barn were all perfect. We were married by the pond with mason jars filled with wildflowers hanging from the trees above us and it was magical - I know it sounds cheesy, but it was just perfect. The drive was a bit of a hike but that's actually what made it feel more like a destination wedding and it was so peaceful - plus we love the country. Sarah Shaw, the coordinator from JCPRD, was awesome - so sweet and helpful! I HIGHLY recommend this venue!!!

. Our wedidng party was able to stay with us in the estate house the night before and the night of the wedding. This helped with getting everyone avalible for pictures, hair, make-up etc. The venue is very kid friendly as well and kept my toddler nephews entertained! Sarah was so helpful in answering any questions we had. They are very organized and professional. They understand that exceptions can be made. The grounds were manicured the day of the event and were beautiful. You can tell that Sarah and everyone working at Mildale enjoys there job and is passionate about the Farm. There are so many options with the venue and the barn. I had an earthy outdoor wedding, but the barn is also very classy, elegant, bright. You can transform it into anything you desire. There is so much beauty in the barn, that you don't even need decorations. We had our wedding and reception up at the barn. The ceremony was performed out front and made for beautiful pictures. It was absolutely wonderful having our wedding there. It is such a calming peaceful place, you can't help but feel the same way. Thank you agian Mildale Farms and Sarah for allowing us to enjoy and make such wonderful memories at Mildale Farms. I would recomend this venue to anyone

party enjoyed their stay in the two homes on the property, especially the bonfires at night! Mildale Farm' setting made my daughter's wedding a wonderful memory.

ce for our family and guests. Autumn bonfire and S'more son Thursday, rehearsal dinner on Friday, reception on Saturday and brunch on Sunday. It was so convenient to have a venue to feature a variety of uses as well as provide accommodation for our family and there are few places in the area with such a stunning landscape. The staff were fantastic and went above and beyond our expectations. Our family would like to find more reasons to use Mildale in the future. GREAT location for Baker University brides looking for a neaby venue!!!
