Both the ceremony and reception will take place at The Ridge Wedding & Event Venue. You can find the full address and directions listed on the Home page of our wedding website.

Weather permitting, the ceremony will be held outdoors at The Ridge. Afterward, join us for a cocktail hour, where you’re welcome to mingle both inside and outside before the reception begins.

Please RSVP by June 20th, 2026. This helps us finalize all the details and ensure everyone has the best possible experience on our special day. We truly appreciate your response by this date so we can plan accordingly!

Due to limited capacity, we’re only able to accommodate those who are formally invited. If you’ve been given a plus one, it will be clearly listed on the RSVP section of our website. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to Whitney at (660) 262-8755. Thank you for understanding!

We kindly ask that all guests keep phones and cameras put away during the ceremony so everyone can be fully present. We’ve hired a photographer we love (and we think you’ll love them too!), and there will be plenty of photo opportunities after the ceremony. Thanks for helping us create an unplugged moment!

We kindly ask guests to wear whatever makes you feel your best and ready to celebrate! Our wedding palette includes soft pastels and bright summer tones like pinks, oranges, blues, and greens. Feel free to coordinate with the theme if you'd like!

Yes! We’re happy to treat you to an open bar throughout the night. Enjoy responsibly—our treat! The bar will also have non-alcoholic drinks so everyone can enjoy a drink!

We kindly ask that guests begin arriving between 3:00 and 3:30 PM to allow time to park, find a seat, and settle in. The ceremony will begin promptly at 4:00 PM.

We’ve reserved a block of rooms at The Elms Hotel and Spa for our guests. There’s also a Super 8 Hotel nearby as an additional option. We encourage guests to stay at The Elms if possible! When booking, please make sure to use the blocked room rate under “The Wedding of Christian and Whitney” and reserve your room by June 1, 2026 to receive the discounted price. A shuttle will be available for guests staying at The Elms, departing between 10:30–11:00 p.m. after the celebration to return everyone safely to the hotel. We want all our guests to enjoy the evening and get home safely—so please plan ahead, use the shuttle, or arrange reliable transportation. Your safety means so much to us! If you have any questions or plan to stay at The Elms, please reach out to Whitney for more details.

Yes, you’re welcome to leave your car at the venue overnight if needed. Just be sure to pick it up the following morning. If there is enough people staying and shuttling back to the Elm's Saturday night after the wedding, we can provide a shuttle back to The Ridge Venue on Sunday morning.

We’ll miss you, but we completely understand! If you’re unable to join us, please RSVP “no” as soon as possible so we can plan accordingly.
