Our Wedding

Our story started the way so many good 20-something's love stories start these days. Yep, you guessed it—we swiped right on each other on Hinge. Jacob's profile photo featured him among elephants in Thailand and as a fellow world traveler, Annie was sold—hook, line, and sinker. We decided to take our chances with a first date. Picture this: Bird scooters whizzing through the city streets as we made our way to a vibey rooftop bar. Hours flew by as we shared stories, dreams, laughs, and fancy cocktails. We simply didn't want the date to end and hopped over to the iconic Green Lady Lounge for some smooth jazz and cozy vibes before calling it a night, but we knew this was only the beginning. We spent weekends at the lake with Jacob's best friend Stephen, went to festivals, Chiefs games, Halloween parties (dressed as Bob Ross and his happy tree), Christmas bars and a SuperBowl parade. Growing as a couple and discovering our shared love of dogs (more than the average person, some may say), good food, and travel. Then came 2020, the year we all stayed home and learned to love working remotely (and each other’s constant company). As brand new roomies and both WFH employees, we spent an insane amount of time together and lived to tell the tale —a great sign for a lasting marriage! The years that followed have brought us amazing trips, a beautiful home, two dogs that we spoil the lights out of, friends we couldn't imagine life without, and more love than we could have ever imagined! In December of 2023, Jacob pulled off the surprise of a lifetime with a cunning plan involving Annie’s mom Beth, some seriously good espresso martinis at Pierponts, and a room filled with our loved ones. Down on one knee, heart racing, Jacob popped the question—and of course, Annie said YES! So here we are, embarking on the next chapter of our adventure. From chance swipes to scooter rides, from COVID roomies to heartfelt proposals, our journey has been nothing short of amazing. We can’t wait to share more laughs, make more memories, and continue writing our story together.Thanks for joining us on this wild ride—it’s only just beginning! With love and excitement,Annie &amp; Jacob

Our Story

We had a blast bopping around Kansas City taking engagement photos! Locations featured include downtown KC, the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art, and Loose Park. And of course, it wouldn't be representative of us if we didn't sneak in some Chiefs gear + our best boys! 📷: Jordan Lyndsey Photography

Q + A

Kansas City is a poppin' spot, with lots of Memorial Weekend celebrations! If you plan to stay in the city, we recommend reserving your room ASAP for best availability and rates.﻿

Room Block Option

A select number of rooms have been reserved at The Hampton for our wedding guests. Located within a 10 min walk from our venue and directly adjacent to a street car stop for those looking to explore downtown KC during your stay!

Hampton Inn & Suites Kansas City Downtown Crossroads

Additional Options

While the Hampton is our only room block, there are a number of other great hotels in the vicinity of our venue should you want a different option! Some of our favorites:

This Gothic Revival-style hotel in the heart of downtown Kansas City offers a chance to experience the ambiance of the Roaring Twenties. Originally home to a social club that opened its doors in 1922, this vintage Kansas City hotel boasts preserved touches like stained glass and hand-hewn walnut as tributes to a proud past — while modern restaurants, bars and rooms ground guests fully in the present. (Pssst, this is where the Bride and Groom will be!)

Hotel Kansas City - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

For our Marriott Bonvoy loyalists! This option is conveniently located within walking distance of The Guild.

Courtyard Kansas City Downtown/Convention Center
