The Journey Home

. All of our guests are still raving about how beautiful the property is! Highly recommend! 

ughter and her new hubby. Tara and all the people we worked with through the venue made the event seamless and run so smooth. I couldn't have imagined a better and more beautiful wedding venue! Truly an amazing experience...I would HIGHLY recommend this venue!

recommend this venue again and again!

anxiety to have everyone there first thing in the morning haha. Tara is amazing and very helpful and accommodating! We ended up moving our outdoor ceremony into the barn Friday night during rehearsal and she made the transition so easy! I was a little sad that we couldn't do my dream outdoor ceremony (especially on their beautiful property) but once I saw the barn all set up I was in love! She had the reception space set up Friday night so that we could decorate in advance and not have to worry Saturday morning. We are seriously so happy that we found this venue and loved every minute of our stay here.

ut we are so glad we did! It was the perfect place for us. We were able to do the wedding weekend and have our rehearsal dinner with our whole bridal party and parents the night before. I loved that everyone was able to stay the night and be together the night before our wedding and didn’t have to worry about driving home the night of our wedding either. TJH was absolutely beautiful and I loved how our wedding came together! Tara was super helpful and very friendly. She answered all of our questions and was always a text or phone call away. I’m so glad we were able to have our 2020 wedding here! If you’re looking for a venue that has it all, look no further! We loved TJH! :)

in the field as well knowing the venue and knowing what will/will not work. The property is gorgeous and accommodated all of our out of town guests perfectly in home on the property. The barn was perfect for the reception and was the exact aesthetic I was going for. I highly recommend talking to Tara about renting the draping, it adds a certain charm to the barn that is unmatched. The views are also gorgeous from every angle! During COVID times it was really nice to let our guests know there was plenty of room to spread out both inside and out, maybe as opposed in a downtown KC venue. We were able to perfectly execute the wedding of our dreams due to having the ability to spread out. We received so many compliments about how perfect the venue was. I highly recommend booking your wedding At The Journey home!!

ome is the PERFECT combination of both! The best part is the staff. Tara is so attentive throughout the entire planning process and makes your wedding day an absolute breeze. Thanks for all your hard work!

or social distancing but still enjoying the time together as a family. The house was beautiful and accommodated our guests/children. The reception barn was perfect---could not have worked out any better---with the lights, ceiling fans for air circulation, movable bar---they set up the tables & chairs so all I had to do was minimal decorations----and it was so beautiful. Our family loved it.

ome was there and worked with us on short notice. The staff is very friendly and professional. They have so many resources to make your day as special as it could be. They even let us use the venue for our engagement photos. The barn was perfect for our summer outdoor wedding.

great view. The back screened in porch is a great place to relax on a summer night, and the fire pit is neat as well. Throughout our time on the property we were constantly getting remarks from the guests about how amazing the home was, as well as the barn. It is a gorgeous property all around, and we would HIGHLY recommend this place! As a bonus, Tara is great to work with! She is very warm, welcoming, and kind. They were even able to accommodate my mother who was in a wheel chair during our wedding. I would give them 6 stars if I could!

tress-free as possible and it truly did help! We chose to book the venue the night before the wedding so that we could do our rehearsal dinner there and then have an easy transition on the day of the wedding, which I am so glad we did because I’m not sure we would have been able to get it all done any other way. This venue is absolutely stunning! From the beautiful home with the spacious kitchen to host the perfect rehearsal dinner, the numerous bedrooms, and amazing bathrooms to get ready in with all your gal pals, oh and of course, can’t forget the back porch. It’s a favorite! I highly recommend relaxing on the swing. Did this both the night before and night of the wedding! To the outdoors, too! The landscape, the flowers, the trees, the beautiful barn, and the view of the stars is unlike anything I’ve seen this close to Saint Joseph. The general manager, Tara, was the best to work with too! She made so much of the wedding planning process an absolute breeze! I highly recommend looking into some of her preferred vendors because we definitely used a few and it all went splendidly! Thank you Journey Home for being the starting point of our journey as husband and wife! The Ezzell’s❤️

got there, it was not as pictured. The Journey Home was exactly what we were looking for and Tara was an absolute joy to work with. Although she is no longer there, I can only imagine that she left it in good hands! What we loved about the Journey Home was that it was far enough away from things that it was quiet, there were multiple natural photo opportunities, we got to choose exactly where we wanted to have the ceremony and the barn was the perfect place for the reception. The best part by far was that we were able to book the venue for the entire weekend and our entire bridal party and family could stay at the house the whole weekend. It ended up raining the day of our wedding so we had the ceremony in the barn and wow, it turned out prettier and more amazing than I could have ever pictured! This was the perfect venue for us and everyone who has seen our pictures and video agrees that it is absolutely idyllic!

stress free that my husband and I got to truly enjoy our wedding day without having to stress. Tara the site manager was out of this world amazing. She was very easy to work with, quick to return emails and was there the entire day of the wedding to help with vendors and setup. The Journey Home is lucky to have Tara as site manager. I would highly recommend the Journey Home.

helped us with all my questions and she was always there for us! Thank you so much for being so helpful and sweet!

too. It's set in a beautiful location with a house that is open to use from Friday-Sunday. It was so nice to be able to have everything from the rehearsal dinner, bonfire, ceremony, reception, and morning after brunch all in the same location! The whole bridal party had so much fun! Tara really went above and beyond in helping us plan, prepare, celebrate, and clean up our most perfect day! Thank you for everything!

ls, toiletries, appliances, etc. We were hesitant to pay for the convenience of the weekend package, but would do it one hundred times over- my husband and I were able to enjoy our entire weekend with family and friends without the stress of having to rush to and from multiple places. Tara was incredibly kind and flexible- she worked around our schedule and provided around the clock support!

venienced her. She goes above and beyond to make sure you have the perfect day. I would highly recommend choosing the Journey Home for your special day!

was always updating me with new things, sending me pictures of the venue, etc . Tara is a total sweetheart. The day before the wedding she was helping us set up, along with her dad. She was always there if I needed her. On the wedding day she was there doing behind the scenes work. The day after the wedding, she was helping us clean up. She is the best. Also, we stayed in the house on the property during the weekend at that was wonderful. We felt like we had a weekend getaway. It was convenient and amazing that our wedding party stayed the night with us the night before the wedding after we had the rehearsal and we had a bonfire. The girls got ready down stairs on the day of the wedding and the guys stayed upstairs . It also has a large kitchen which we put into good use! Haha So all in all, if I could give them SIX stars, I would. :)

and has tons of good ideas without being in your face about it. It rained on our wedding day and they handled it like champs. I seriously cannot have imagined my wedding day anywhere else!

anager, is so kind, responsive, and helpful throughout planning and during week-of arrangements! The house has 24 beds, and we opted to stay the entire weekend (Fri, Sat, Sun) and had the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception all in the same gorgeous place! It allowed us to have the most carefree, fun weekend imaginable, and I truly don't believe we could have gotten that anywhere else. In addition, the venue is spectacular in the fall!! We were lucky enough to have all of the trees in full bloom and 70 degree weather at the end of October. We had the perfect, perfect day, we could not have been happier :)

gh the barn was freezing (and 10 heaters weren’t enough to keep it warm 🥶) we received SO MANY compliments. Tara was an absolute joy to work with. Any question or request I had, she was sure to answer me quickly and thoroughly. She was so helpful through the whole process, readily recommending other vendors and making suggestions that were perfect. The venue provided tables, chairs, chandeliers, some lighting, and tent walls for the barn. They also wrapped the barn to try and keep in the heat, which was unexpected! You truly cannot find a better package for your money.

mily and because it’s a gorgeous venue. I can’t say enough about Tara (the manager) she went above and beyond our expectations to make the whole weekend a success! The house has plenty of space to relax and hang out, it also comes fully stocked with everything you need and it’s beautiful. Thank you for making our daughters wedding day extra special!

e! We had an absolute amazing weekend with all of our friends and family! Tara was so accommodating and easy to work with throughout the entire process! I couldn't imagine a more stunning setting to marry my best friend!

y is and we had such a great time staying in the house with our wedding party. There literally could not have been a more perfect place for our wedding!

cause it gave us enough time to get everything set up and make sure that nothing was forgot. I would highly recommend the Journey Home to anyone.

oes everything she can to make your dream day come true. I can honestly say it was the least stressful part of our wedding. And not to mention the place is heaven on earth. We loved that we had it for the whole weekend and got to spend it with all the ones we loved. If you are on the fence about it, don't be, choose the Journey Home you won't be disappointed.

s stunning and spacious. Tara was great to work with and easy to contact.

they didn't have to drive. I would highly recommend especially for the price.

ice. Not only that but the manager Tara is so nice and easy to work with and the venue itself is so accommodating. We did the full weekend package and I could not imagine doing it any other way. The house fit all 24 or so people that we had staying there and truly became like a home for the duration of our stay. We loved the fact that we were able to choose our own vendors and we weren't limited in that way. I would highly recommend using Cindy's rentals and using Scott the bartender. Those were some of the recommendations The Journey Home gave us and we could not have been more pleased. We wanted our wedding outside because of the beautiful landscape The Journey Home has but it was too cold so we ended up having to hold the ceremony in the barn which was just as, if not more beautiful. Overall our wedding weekend was perfect in a large part due to this venue and its staff. We cannot say enough good things about it and know anyone else would love it just as much.

e with us. Our family and friends had a blast. The house was the perfect location for small rehearsal dinner and the barn held our 150 wedding guests with plenty of room. The setting was unique romantic- exactly how I dreamed our wedding would be. Tara and Cindy with The Journey Home could not have been more friendly, or accommodating. My husband and I are thrilled that we made the choice to book that venue for the weekend and still enjoy looking back on the beautiful photographs taken there.

e happier that we chose the Journey Home. The property was perfect for accommodating our wedding party and offered the ability to have everyone stay on the property the entire weekend. I recommend the Journey Home to anyone looking for a great value, vintage/rustic but comfortable venue, and wide open spaces.

nd with everyone. Everything from our rehearsal dinner to our reception was perfect. Wouldn't have done it anywhere else.

ped us in every aspect of planning. The guidance we received was from amazing people who knew how to make everything perfect on our special day. Cindy and Tara were amazing. We highly recommend this place to everyone looking to have the best wedding experience.

ng or thought about any of my desires for a wedding. However, the moment we stepped onto the Journey Home, we both knew this was the place! When we booked our wedding, the staff was on top of all of our needs. We immediately started planning the event. Within 2 hours we had the date and all the decorating plans completed. We booked the entire weekend in order to decorate and have our family and friends surrounding us during our special weekend. This extra time allowed us to enjoy every moment of our wedding, from setting up to spending time with our guests... especially those who had come from far away and the ability to stay in the home really brought us all together. The day was the most perfect day anyone could have asked for. The grounds were perfectly manicured and the sunset was perfect. The barn was so beautifully decorated and it was enchanting to even walk into it. From the moment we booked our wedding to well after our wedding, the Journey home managed every detail to our complete satisfaction. They still check in on us and we count them as our family. We were so very blessed to find this place... it made the day I never thought would happen be the day of my dreams.

hen we needed extra protection in the storm. Thank you Journey Home for a wonderful evening!

it wouldn't have been near as wonderful if we hadn't been at The Journey Home. We live in KC and both of our families live out of state so they have limited time to see one another. The Journey Home provided a place for our families to truly come together, spend time with one another and genuinely unite two families together as one. We had our entire bridal party, plus our siblings stay the whole weekend at the house, this made getting ready less stressful and allowed more quality and fun time together. We got to enjoy two wonderful breakfasts at the house with our closest family and friends and a BEAUTIFUL rehearsal dinner night. The entire property is kept up so well from the bedrooms, to the barn, to the lawn! The day of the wedding, it rained all day, causing our ceremony to be in the barn, but this allowed for such an intimate, romantic setting, with the soft sound of rain on the roof through the ceremony! Tara, the general manager, was so helpful through the whole process! She allowed me to text her at any time during the planning process and would respond quickly, ready to help with whatever I needed. She was also there to help us get settled when we arrived and then came and helped the day of the wedding as well. She even helped resolve a couple concerns with a guest and a vendor during the reception that I didn't even know about, allowing me to continue enjoying the evening without worries! I would HIGHLY recommend The Journey Home!

and very knowledgeable.

e able to hang out with family and friends in one location. The house and barn are so beautiful and the scenery outside for our ceremony was breathtaking. Tara was wonderful to work with and the staff was very friendly. I would highly recommend The Journey Home!!

getting things set up then being able to enjoy time with family and friends over the whole weekend. The employees were very friendly and are there if you have any questions. The location is very nice and I thought the barn was perfect for reception. I would recommend couples looking for wedding venues to check out The Journey Home!

y did not use any decorations for the ceremony because the scenery spoke for itself! We were able to have a relaxing weekend with family and friends, and Tara and her dad were there for whatever we needed! I remember I needed a hairdryer, and Tara drove up to let me borrow hers! The service was amazing and people that run the property are just kind-hearted and amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better day!
