Travel & Stay
Our wedding will take place in downtown Kansas City, ~20 minutes from Kansas City International Airport. We recommend using a rideshare service to get downtown. Once you’re here, you won’t need a car–everything is within walking distance, including dining, shopping, entertainment, and the free KC Streetcar, which can take you a bit further if you want to explore. See below for our hotel recommendations and some of our favorite spots around town!
