Are the ceremony and reception at the same location?
Yes! The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception will all be located at Melrose Abbey.
What do I wear to an event whose attire is cocktail or semi-formal?
Ladies: Your best little black dress or other cocktail-length dresses are great options. Traditionally, heels are the best choice, but dressy flats are also appropriate. It is traditional to not wear white to another's wedding.
Gentlemen: Please stick with a suit and a dress shirt, or dress pants with a dress shirt. A tie is encouraged, but not required.
Where do I park at the venue?
There is ample street parking located around the venue. However, if you are not comfortable with parallel parking, or if you plan to be drinking, it would be more convenient to take an Uber or Lyft.
If you are staying at the AC Hotel by Marriott, there will be a shuttle bus from the hotel.
If we are coming from out of town, where should we stay?
We have a block of rooms reserved at the AC Hotel by Marriott Kansas City located 0.4 miles from Melrose Abbey. Use the link on the "Travel" page of our website to reserve a room in our hotel block.
If you prefer to stay elsewhere, please feel free! It is easy to Uber or Lyft anywhere around Kansas City.
