Simply know by locals in Sedalia as "The Barn" Heritage Ranch is indeed a barn, a barn constructed to look older than it is with a mix of recycled and new materials. In addition there are two. . .huts? One for the groom's wedding party and one for the brides. . .be warned. . .these are the only two areas with air conditioning and if you are going to have a wedding in anything other than winter that barn gets toasty. . .not toasty enough for me to dock a star but tosty enough for me to say that the family that ownes it might need to look into better cooling options than the random massive fans that were everywhere. . .pordable AC units are a thing. . . LADIES! The parking for the venu is a rock field, as in the roadway is made of loose rocks, bring flats or boots and switch to heels when you get to the barn. No really Don't try to do the lot in heels. Behind the barn sits a small play area for children that we found quite functional. Remember to READ what you are signing up for though because there is a lot of clean ups you will be responsible for, you turn everything back over the way you got it. Loved it, loved Sedalia A very good venue option for sure.

From the moment we stepped through the doors, we knew we had found the perfect venue. The chapel's absolutely charming, and perfect for photos. The coordinator at Little Shawnee Chapel was an absolute gem. From the initial planning stages to the big day itself, they were incredibly helpful and attentive to every detail, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. It was amazing as it allowed my wife to relax and enjoy every moment with her family who flew in. The chapel itself is timeless. It's super well lit, yet cozy. It provided the perfect backdrop for our ceremony, creating an intimate and romantic ambiance that our guests loved. PLUS, the neighboring space allowed extra room for our guests to grab refreshments before and after the ceremony, which other smaller venues in town definitely didn't offer. We can't thank everyone enough for making our wedding day truly special. If you're looking for a venue with charm, character, and exceptional service, look no further than Little Shawnee Chapel. Highly recommended!!!

They were extremely strict on what/how much you could have. Not a terribly lot of food and once the last table was called to eat, the staff immediately closed the doors to the food area. There seemed to be an abundance of food left but shut er down. Wonder what they did with all the left overs Anyway. I personally had just enough as I prefer to drink my calories but most at my table were still hungry.

Our ceremony was at 2pm, we were in the truck at 2:35pm. Guests are supposed to receive 1 HOUR at the chapel per the website. We were also pushed off the property while trying to take pictures of our big day. Granted, I misread the website that bringing a photographer (professional or not) would cost an additional $100, and I fully admit that. However when I booked and paid for the chapel I had asked Betty if it was ok that we took some pictures at the location, she agreed that was fine. We snapped a few shots before the wedding, during the ceremony, and attempted to take family pictures afterwards when we were shunned off the property by I assume to be Larry. Never once was explained there was an additional charge for bringing our own camera, nor offered to pay the $100 so we were able to get the pictures we wanted. He was also very, very rude about us getting off the property. I do not have one single picture of my husband and I on our wedding day. I've emailed them explaining my experience, in hopes to change the experience for future guests. However I have yet to get a response from anyone.

Let me share a little about myself and hopefully this will aid in making your decision. We have a beautiful Little Chapel located next to the Jackson County Courthouse in Independence, MO. The only one of it's kind! Performing my first wedding in Kansas City turned out to be an incredible, life-changing day, and I knew I had a calling. It allowed me to play a part in a celebration of unity and true love which are truly the best things. I have photographed and participated in over 3500 weddings and enjoy being such an integral part of your Big Day! I perform ceremonies both within the faith and interfaith, as well as LGBT, spiritual, and non-religious styles if preferred. Ceremonies can always be customized. It can be formal, informal or a themed wedding. It makes no difference to me. It makes

The Vow Exchange though, is an awesome idea and probably perfect for a lot of different situations. We're not looking for a cavernous venue and the fact that The Vow Exchange holds no more than 28 guests (wedding party not included) is actually helpful. We're not feeling obligated to invite everyone we've ever met and actually have a reason why we can't. They have a several options ranging from just the space for an hour to the space, flowers, drinks, a photographer, and an officiant. Prices range from $200 to $1000. The interior is somewhat shabby chic with exposed brick and rough hewn beams, comfortable chairs and benches and wrought iron decor. There's a large overhead door that (I assume) can be opened if the weather permits. Our wedding is scheduled for May - we'll let you know how it goes and update this review then!

The coffee is still great, but there isn't enough food apparently by 9 a.m. to go around. I had arrived and ordered their spinach and bacon quiche, which I've known as the "Keto" quiche but the barista has informed me that it's no longer called that. He claimed something about fad diets, and rather sounded snooty about it. Whatever. I asked about the bakery items available, since there were only three, and asked him whether there were any more available and he sarcastically said that he wasn't hiding any baked items. Excuse me, but sometimes coffee shops will have baked items that they haven't come around to displaying yet. I decided to order the scone, which he told me was a lemon scone, even though I told him that the white icing had speckles on it, similar to vanilla bean. He affirmed in a snotty way, "It's lemon." After I received the scone and took a bite, I knew that I was right. I asked for a refund in which he insisted that what I had was a lemon. I told him how it didn't taste like lemon but vanilla bean. He insisted again. Yes, we were doing this. He lamented that his bakery person told him that it was lemon. Hey, if your bakery person tells you lemon, it's not on me. He gave me the refund. The latte I received was supposed to be a pistachio latte, not a pistachio latte taste at all. I wasn't sure what it was.
