Our Historic, Family-Run Kansas City Wedding Venues
Before its rebirth as a sought-after outdoor wedding venue in Kansas, Chrisman Manor began as an honest-to-goodness working farm.
Today, Chrisman Manor continues to be family-owned, run by the mother-daughter team of Cheryl and Kyrstan — and it’s this sense of family, nature, and history that makes our wedding venue truly special.
Its stately, stone-faced front with classic gabled roofs and an elegant fountain opens up into the most stunning and chic indoor space. Our guests are often surprised by the modern beauty of the interiors, complete with intricate wainscotting, all-white walls, exposed wood beams, and towering chandeliers that modern couples absolutely love.
With lush, green hills, romantic willow trees, and rolled hay bales, Chrisman Manor is the ideal location for a serene country-style wedding coupled with modern-day decor.

Picturesque Wedding Ceremony Venues for Kansas City Weddings
Waterfront Ceremony Venue
A truly special ceremony site, the waterfront ceremony is just a three-minute walk away from the main property. Walk down a gravel path to a mesmerizing site complete with tranquil waters and thriving greenery. We provide gorgeous wooden benches to accommodate up to 200 guests.
Saying your vows against our waterfront backdrop is nothing short of magical. Reminiscent of a “secret garden,” couples who choose this location can make a grand, sweeping entrance at the unique “door” set at the start of the aisle.
This enchanting atmosphere sets Chrisman Manor apart from all other outdoor wedding venues in Kansas City.
Willow Tree Ceremony Venue
The Willow Tree Ceremony site is a picture-perfect spot to exchange vows. As you prepare to walk down the aisle, you'll begin at the stone steps. Walk down the gentle slope of our property as it opens up into this outdoor wedding ceremony site.
Conduct your ceremony under our elegant arbor, included in the rental fee, while partially shaded by a romantic willow tree overhead. We provide elegant white chairs for this ceremony site.
Indoor Chapel Venue
Whether you need to switch your outdoor ceremony to an indoor wedding venue at the last minute, or you simply prefer the more traditional and intimate ambiance of a chapel, our indoor Chapel will be perfect for you.
The Chapel offers a chic, elegant indoor ceremony space with beautiful wooden beams, crisp white walls, and high vaulted ceilings.
