We could not have asked for a better wedding venue experience! From the very beginning, Kristy was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was always quick to respond to any questions I had, which made the entire planning process feel so smooth and stress-free. One of our favorite parts was the incredible decor storage they offered for use, it was such a huge help and added so many beautiful touches to our day. Kristy also set up our table plan for us, which took so much pressure off during such a busy time. The bridal and groom suites were amazing! so spacious, comfortable, and perfect for getting ready with our wedding party. They truly made the morning feel relaxing and enjoyable because we weren’t stressing in a small room. You can tell they genuinely care about their couples and want everything to be perfect. We are so grateful for everything they did to make our wedding day so special!

My husband and I booked The Bell of Camden Point for our wedding venue. The moment we stepped inside the venue, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. The venue’s grounds are beautiful, and the interior is absolutely perfect. The venue has plenty of space, and we loved how the ceremony and reception space were separate. Everything exceeded our expectations. Kristy and Rob helped us throughout the wedding planning process, and they were so kind and helpful. They made everything so effortless and stress-free, and we were incredibly grateful for their contribution to making our day unforgettable. If you’re searching for an exceptional venue, this one is the perfect fit for you!

While looking for a barn venue for our daughters wedding, we found a beautiful farm in Camden Point. Once a tobacco barn & recently 10,000 sq. ft horse arena, we remodeled into a gorgeous space for weddings while our closest friends joined this journey with us. We repurposed all the natural hardware from the horse arena, selected crystal chandeliers to complement the original rustic hardware to make an elegant 5,200 sq. ft setting. An adjacent indoor chapel will join our venue in the near future! We can't wait to meet you!

er any time I had a question and she was always quick to answer! Dave was there the entire day of our wedding and was amazing working behind the scenes to help the day run smooth! I loved being able to hire our own vendors and bring our own alcohol! Kristy did also recommend some vendors which was so helpful! We had our ceremony inside the chapel and it was gorgeous! The reception space had so much room for our 180 guests, and left us plenty of room on the dance floor! We also loved how much space we had in the bridal suit for getting ready and for our entire bridal party to hangout together during the cocktail hour. Also renting the Lodge to stay the night with our bridal party and all wake up together the next morning and talk about the wedding day was so fun! Overall our day was 1000/10 and I would recommend this venue to anyone!

vendor policy we were able to make it our own. All of our guests were very impressed with the space and it looks absolutely gorgeous in all photos. We appreciated the option of having an indoor ceremony if the weather was not on our side. The bridal suite is gorgeous and was spacious enough for all of my girls, two moms, two hair stylists and two make up artists. I never felt crammed! There are so many amazing photo opportunities within the venue and around the property. They partner with the KC Hotel Marriott which was another perk for the shuttle. We were so happy with choosing The Bell!

wners have added so many beautiful renovations to the space. We absolutely loved the new indoor chapel, the outdoor space for our cocktail hour, and the reception space was perfect for us and our guests. There are also so many beautiful places to take photos on the property. One of our favorite things about The Bell is the ability to choose any outside vendors we wanted (this was a big money saver for us). The Bell is a 10/10!

This venue was absolutely perfect for what we wanted for our wedding. We wanted the rustic feel, but with a little more elegant vibe as well. The indoor space for the ceremony and ...

the reception are just beautiful. My favorite part is that the chapel is still indoors and attached to the reception space, so therefore, did not require a room flip as most venues do. We had our wedding in March, which means unpredictable weather in Missouri, but the indoor ceremony space was just as beautiful, if not more beautiful, than the outdoor ceremony space. Kristy was the main contact I worked with and she was truly amazing to work with. Super-fast in response time, very knowledge about anything wedding related, and overall a very kind person. The other owners were there the entire time of the wedding and cleaned up at the end of the night. Couldn’t have dreamt of a better venue for our entire wedding!

son & daughter-in-law were married there 10/23/22! The Bridal room is so pretty & spacious for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready on the big day! The Grooms area is the perfect spot for the men to be together and hang out before the ceremony! The reception area is beautiful with large windows to take in the breathtaking views! The decor throughout the venue is rustic elegance and is the perfect spot for a wedding! We also rented the house on the property for the bridal party for 2 nights and everyone had a fantastic time being together in one place! Memories to cherish! Owner Chas was amazing to work with and responsive whenever we reached out with questions! We would highly recommend The Bell of Camden Point! Thanks for making everything just perfect!

be more happy with our decision! Chas was our main point of contact and she was fabulous! She always responded quickly to any and all questions I had, she helped keep things in line and going smoothly on our big day, and she went above and beyond to any hiccups that happened. The venue is full of beautiful backdrops that make for the best wedding photos for the newlyweds and their guests. We used the outdoor ceremony location, but it was nice to know there was an indoor chapel option if weather wasn't ideal. I would 100% recommend this venue over and over again!

amless to move inside. The facility has everything you need. The suites for the bridge and groom are great. The reception hall is gorgeous. I have heard from several guests they thought the venue was beautiful and how did we find it. Kristy and Rob (the owners) were so helpful throughout the whole process. You can also work out a deal with a local hotel that will offer shuttle service to the venue the day of the wedding. They really did think of everything. There is a list of vendors they have used, but you can use your own as well. There is a lodge you can add to your package that is on the property. It is so nice to have the extra room for the wedding party and provided the opportunity for the wedding party to stay at the venue the night before the wedding. I highly recommend The Bell at Camden Point.

o matter how crazy I sounded. Being a bride who’s constantly having control and being able to trust someone else to pull through for me was huge. All my worries melted away with Kristy and Chas. I never seen such a beautiful venue in my entire life, and the fact that they allowed our dogs be part of our big day was huge to me! I will always recommend this beauty to any bride looking for a rustic, romantic barn venue in the most peaceful part of Missouri. I cannot wait to get our pictures back!

They responded quickly. Never asked for additional fees and were upfront about their expectations. We couldn’t of asked for a better venue. We walked away feeling like we have a lasting friendship. We are so thankful for the bell our day wouldn’t of been the same without them.

ely beautiful and wonderfully maintained. We got tons of compliments on how gorgeous the space was! The lodge on site was super convenient, well stocked, and large enough to accommodate the wedding party + a few more. Chas was incredible and always made herself available for all of my questions. The venues open catering/bar policy is really accommodating. I’m a highly indecisive person who researched/toured dozens of venues in the KC Metro and I can confidently say this is the most client friendly, best value, well managed, and most gorgeous wedding venue around!

view and we even had amazing sunset pictures in their outside arbor. The venue felt private, was handicap accessible, beautiful, had many different variations to accomplish our dream wedding, and was very reasonably priced. Kristy (Owner) was super nice and accommodating to our needs for our big day. Our first visit at the venue and with Kristy was so good I had three tours just to show my family and my wedding coordinator. We had our ceremony and reception inside which was nice because the chapel and the reception room where connected to each other through these dark wooden double doors (which made a great entrance for when I when down the isle). The reception had a romantic feeling with the crystal chandeliers and huge windows for natural light for a huge area to dance the night away. Now to the best part…. The chapel! The chapel had this huge crystal chandelier that hung with in the middle of the room that made the area with my decorations very elegant. My guest were in awe of the place and had so many complaints! I’d recommend to anyone and everyone! Thank you Kristy and her husband for making our day magical!

The grounds are such a natural, beautiful setting - lending itself to not only rustic but truly classic beauty. Nature at it's best - coupled with crystal and iron chandeliers, perfect Bride's and Groom's Suites, and from indoors - a stunning view overlooking the rolling hills and pond. The owner's pour everything in to making this your special event. Exceeding all expectations of personal service and absolute elegance!

They even have a small nursing room for anyone with little children. The owners were extremely cooperative and friendly! Our day was just perfect. I couldn’t have built a more perfect venue myself. The groom’s room has a patio for the guys that is fenced in. The bride’s room has separate lights and outlets for all the hot irons. It’s just absolutely everything we wanted and more!

The owners and staff were so accommodating and intentional in making our day the best it could be. As far as their amenities go, the bridal and groom suites were perfect for us to get ready in. They provided all the tables, chairs, and linens. They also set up and tear down. All in all, our expectations were exceeded and I could not recommend this venue more. You will not be disappointed if you book them for your big day!
