Escape to Romance: The Perfect Serene Wedding Venue in Kansas

Your wedding should be the most memorable day of your life. And at Cedar Crest Lodge, a wedding venue in Kansas, love and romance collide in elegant perfection. So, transform your dream of a romantic wedding into a treasured memory for years to come.

As summer drifts into autumn, exciting things happen. Our tempered summer heat slowly dips toward more comfortable weather as we inch through the remainder of summer and into fall. Once the weather cools, the autumn colors start taking shape — the subtle transformation from green to yellow, red, orange, and brown.

What makes this so magical and spectacular is that it’s the perfect time for a micro-wedding or elopement — a picturesque romantic getaway to the rolling hills of Kansas.

Discover the Cedar Crest Lodge Difference

You’re missing out if you’ve never been to our award-winning Cedar Crest Lodge. Our lodge sits nestled amid the pristine countryside. Panoramic views crest the horizon and make a gorgeous backdrop for your wedding. We could talk about the views all day, but seeing is believing.

If you’re looking for the perfect place to host your wedding, we invite you to experience our lodge. Whether you envision an indoor or outdoor wedding, our lodge lends the rustic charm to your dream wedding in the country. We’ll even help personalize and plan your perfect moment to make your special day unforgettable.

Choose the Ultimate Romantic Stay

You’ll enjoy our warm, inviting atmosphere with ample amenities to elevate your stay from the moment you arrive. So, go ahead and immerse yourself. 

  • Indulge in a couple’s spa
  • Take a dip in the pool
  • Soak in our hot tub
  • Hike a nature trail
  • Sit on the patio and gaze at the stars
  • Play a yard or board game
  • Cozy up next to the fireplace

One of the most challenging choices you’ll make is deciding which of our luxury suites suits your taste. Our priority is your relaxation, comfort, and experience while preparing for your big day — and afterward.

Savor Your Exquisite Dining Experience

Your experience at the Lodge should be nothing less than exceptional, including the food we serve. Fresh is best, so our chef sources our ingredients locally.

We serve breakfasts and dinners during your stay (included for two people each morning/evening with either of our Elopement Packages), but if you want something extraordinary, add the picnic enhancement to your room package. We’ll pack you an elegant picnic lunch for two, complete with cheese/fruit, gourmet sandwiches, a special salad, and something to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Do you need help planning your wedding or rehearsal dinner? Our chef is flexible and accommodating of dietary restrictions and preferences. The dishes are as exquisite as your stay — just ask our previous guests.

“Our stay exceeded all expectations. The friendly staff, gorgeous grounds, and delicious food make a memorable weekend. They went above and beyond to accommodate my gluten allergy by making delicious substitutions at every meal. There wasn’t a detail they missed to ensure a perfect experience – Bluetooth speakers, bags of ice, umbrellas, s’mores kits, etc. We are already looking forward to a repeat visit next year!”
