Kansas City

The largest city in Missouri, Kansas City sits opposite of Kansas City, Kansas. The city is well known for great beef, saucy barbecue and lasting contributions to Jazz and Blues. It also has over 200 fountains, claiming to be second only to Rome, Italy in the number of fountains. The fountains at Kauffman Stadium are the largest privately funded fountains in the world, making it a beautiful wedding backdrop for Kansas City weddings.

Considered the heart of the US, it is near to the population and geographic centers of America. Unique architectural contributions like the Nelson-Atkins Museum in Euro-style and the Power and Light Building in Art Deco style offer a unique skyline. The Power and Light District offers $850 million of hotels, restaurants and points of interest.
