If you are interested in an outdoor wedding in Kansas City, Missouri, there are many beautiful spots to choose from. Either in downtown Kansas City or the surrounding areas, the types of venues range from gardens to rooftops. The optimal time to have an outdoor wedding in the Kansas City area is from April to October when the high temperature fluctuates between 60 degrees to 90 degrees.

1. Kansas City Public Library Rooftop Terrace

   • If you are a bibliophile or simply love downtown views, the Kansas City Public Library has a rooftop deck that is available for weddings and receptions. The rooftop can accommodate 200 guests. The space is decorated with plants and grasses and decorative lights at night. The library does not allow loud bands or DJs due to noise restrictions, but a low-key band is fine. You will need to provide your own catering and bar.

   Lone Summit Ranch

   • Located in Lee's Summit, Kansas, about 35 minutes from Kansas City, is the Lone Summit Ranch and Estate. Built in the early 1930's, Lone Summit is a working farm with over 650 acres of farmland and meadows as well as ten ponds and small lakes. If you choose Lone Summit, your outdoor ceremony will be under a large gazebo overlooking a lake. For the reception, your guests will move into a nearby hall, which is large enough for many hundred guests. Lone Summit provides the catering and bar services as well as an in-house DJ and on-site wedding coordinator.

   Terrace On Grand

   • Terrace On Grand is an indoor/outdoor event space in downtown Kansas City. The space is about 5,000 square feet and can accommodate a wedding on the rooftop deck with the reception either on the roof, or in the levels below. A nighttime wedding or reception would really highlight the sparkling views of the surrounding skyscrapers. There is a bridal suite set aside for the bride and her bridesmaids to get ready for the ceremony. Terrace on Grand does not provide catering, so an outside caterer is necessary to handle the food and bar. The space has room for 250 seated dinner guests.

   Meadowview Gardens

   • Located about 30 miles East of Kansas City in Bates City, Missouri in a quiet rural setting is Meadowview Gardens. The facility provides a gazebo surrounded by green meadows for the wedding ceremony. The on-site hall can accommodate up to 300 guests. Meadowview Gardens is an all-inclusive wedding venue. From tux rental, to flowers and the wedding cake, every aspect of the wedding ceremony and reception is handled in-house.

   Helen Cuddy Memorial Rose

   • Named after an avid gardener who lived to 103 years, the Helen Cuddy Memorial Garden is located at the Memorial Arboretum inside Antioch Park. Antioch Park is located in Shawnee, Kansas and is approximately 14 miles from Kansas City. The garden is available for weddings by reservation only. The roses bloom in June and July, so this is the best time to book the space. The garden can only be used for weddings, so your reception will need to be at another location.
