visions to life, being very attentive to our needs, and fit in well with our group. We had 250 guests at our wedding. The venue was a great size for that many people. We were close but had plenty of room. We would recommend The Meadowlark to anyone looking to hold an event.

My daughter's wedding was at this venue and we couldn't have asked for a better location! One of the best features is that you get the venue for 48 hours. From noon on Friday until...
noon on Sunday. No where else does that! In addition, we were able to purchase a package that allows you to use the decorations Gina already has in her over flowing storage closet! This means you do not have to figure out what to do with all the table centerpieces after the wedding. Gina is a amazing and worked directly with our vendors on timing for the big day. We had more people come to the wedding than had RSVP'd - but Gina handled that with grace putting out more tables and chairs. I will be recommending this venue to everyone I know who is planning a wedding. Thank you Gina for being part of our special day!

r wedding so easy!!! She is sweet, kind, helpful, and talented!!! We didn't have to set up or tear down!!! She did all of the decorations, and was there all weekend to help whenever we needed anything!!! This venue, and Gina, would make any event sensational.

My family and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Meadowlark and Gina! This was honestly the only venue my husband and I saw, because we instantly fell in love. It's a b...
eautiful space that can truly be transformed into anything you want it to be. Some of our favorite features were the incredible, custom-made chandelier, the bar and string lights, and the outdoor awning. Gina was so responsive and helpful in figuring out decor, getting the space set up, transitioning (we had ceremony and reception at the Meadowlark), and really helped create the perfect day. She also was SO helpful in getting snow cleared before guests arrived for the ceremony!
Their venue is absolutely beautiful and Gina was amazing to work with. She made everything feel stress free!
Gina and the Meadowlark Event Center are by far my favorite! The Meadowlark Event Center is absolutely stunning and has a rustic charm about it. Especially with the new chandelier ...
built by Gina and her husband. It was a dream to get married in this venue.
Then add Gina to the venue itself...I couldn't ask for a better experience. Gina went above and beyond my expectations. I honestly consider her my fairy godmother! She was there with solutions and ideas for everything. She was never pushy, and was a huge part of what made my day so special. I will always remember this place because of her.
This place is AMAZING!!! Gina did a wonderful job on helping ensure my wedding went smooth and was able to enjoy our wedding!

d the bride's suite had an all important bathroom while the groom's had air hockey, darts, etc. The grand staircase made a beautiful entrance for the bride. It was also very easy to get to when coming from different parts of KC. But Gina Crawford, the marketing & event manager, took our wedding experience from great to fantastic!! Her knowledge, ideas & suggestions, warm & genuine personality, & attention to detail(including safety pins for dress emergencies!) made for the most perfect & memory filled wedding day!!! And Gina helped us have this perfect wedding day in the middle of the Covid-19 Pandemic...Incredible!! I highly recommend The Meadowlark for YOUR SPECIAL DAY!!!!
The Meadowlark is a fabulous event center. We had our Wedding July 2020 during the Covid pandemic. With a month till the wedding date we had to switch venues and Gina Crawford was...
so helpful and accommodating with the late change of venue. She helped us with the decorating and table arrangement ideas. So many guests commented on how beautiful our wedding was and I have to agree. It couldn’t have turned out any better. From the provided linens on the tables to the fun and useful bridal suites upstairs to the beautiful new mason jar rustic chandelier. Meadowlark is a great venue with wonderful rustic fill you won’t be disappointed if you have your wedding here.

st minute needs and hacks, EVERYTHING about having our wedding here was convenient, easy, and simply PERFECT!
Highlights of this venue:
1. This venue tells you like it is. They have no hidden fees, no additional charges to use bridal and groom room, tablecloths, etc. If you've done enough wedding venue searches, you know that these things are a rare find.
2. Gina Crawford is AMAZING! She takes the stress of planning a wedding and all the details of venue usage and helps you problem solve the little details so you don't have to be stressed or worried.
3. The venue has 6-8 movable shiplap walls (8 x 7ft) that can transform the room! USE THEM!!
4. You can bring outside vendors. C'MON NOW!!! If everything else didn't convince you to book this venue, this should!

nal. She thinks of every little thing, and always came to the rescue when we forgot something like scissors or a foot ladder, etc. She presented several decoration/layout ideas that really brought my vision to life. This venue is truly a hidden gem. The rental package has no hidden fees, and really allows you to build your special day as you see fit. Gina has been working hard to add all sorts of improvements to an already great facility. Do yourself a favor, and check this place out!
