The 7 Best Wedding Planners in Kansas City

November 22, 2023

There are many frequently asked questions on initial tours at UNION, but one of the most common is always: ‘Do I actually need a wedding planner?’

Our answer is, and will always be, “yes.” 

Having a wedding planner is so important in our book, that we recommend it regardless of whether you hire UNION Planning or another event planning company. Why, you ask? The time you will spend planning your wedding will be significantly — think hundreds of hours — more without a planner. Not only will a planner help with event design and your overall wedding vision, they will also ensure your wedding day goes off without a hitch (with the exception of you and your partner getting hitched!).

A wedding planning business will also work alongside your team of professional vendors, so that you can enjoy every moment of your day. Plus, they’ll set up your decor, create a detailed timeline, get you down the aisle, and so much more. 

There are several great wedding planning and design services in Kansas City, so we’ve rounded up some of the top options.

UNION

UNION offers multiple planning packages, from Month-Of Coordination to Full Planning & Design.

Month-Of Coordination is ideal for the client who decide closer to their wedding date that they need assistance pulling all of the details together.

Our Full Planning & Design package is for the couple who wants a full-service experience. Our team of wedding professionals is dedicated to fulfilling your wedding vision, and will be by your side for everything from working on a unique event design, to negotiating vendor contracts, attending tastings, fittings, and of course, day-of coordination. 

For the client who falls somewhere in the middle, we offer Partial Planning. This includes, but is certainly not limited to, communicating with your vendors, creating a custom layout, and of course, wedding day coordination! 

Regardless of which package you choose, there is one huge benefit to working with UNION’s wedding planning services. Having an event planner who works at your venue means that we know the space better than anyone. From unique design concepts to managing your day-of, working with UNION Planning simplifies your vendor list and makes your overall planning easier.

UNION Planning also offers planning throughout the Kansas City metro area.
