I have had my baby shower here & recently my bridal shower. It’s SO beautiful and the owner is awesome! Only wish I didn’t have such a large wedding list or I would have had my wedding here, too!

Wonderful people and a great ambiance. Could use to update the AC, but notably we were there on one of the hottest and most humid days off the year. Truly made our special day one to remember. More...

We loved Tim from the first time we met him in a coffee shop. He's low key and super sweet, just a guy who really enjoys photography. At every stage we were delighted by the experience. Our engagement shoot went well and we got the photos back super quick. The wonderful photos just whet our appetite for the wedding. When it came to the big day, Tim showed up dapper as ever. We spent the whole day feeling like he and his assistant were just over our shoulder (in the best way, not an annoying way). He rolled with our lateness and made such great use of the Kauffman center and surrounding areas so we had several backdrops for our posed photos. During the actual ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, the moments that were captured were great. Honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better "shadow" for the day. We even got our photos back in three weeks and there were so many to choose from that I can still barely pick a favorite. If you're looking for a photographer that you will truly enjoy spending the day with, you can't go wrong with Tim. And the icing on the cake is how competitive his pricing is. Highly recommend.

The venue is amazing and Laurie is amazing! After contemplating for months on what type of wedding we wanted, I walked into this venue for a graduation party and just knew it was the perfect place. We planned it in just a few short weeks. Laurie was so helpful and had so many great ideas. The venue is already decorated beautifully. She also has many decorations to choose from for centerpieces. It was a wonderful experience. We loved we could have our wedding and our reception all in one place. There are also lots of great areas outside for photos. I cannot say enough great things! Laurie, thank you! You helped give us a magical day we will never forget! More...

I absolutely LOVE this venue and Laurie Hatfield! My daughter's Grad party was perfect. It is such an amazing space and right here in Grain Valley! I love the outdoor space and the adorable windows for pictures. The stained glass windows, large string lights, and enormous chandelier create an air of dreaminess. It was a fantastic find and I'm so happy I found it. I'll be telling everyone I know about Acquaint Gathering. It is such an IDEAL place to have a party, event or wedding! Laura Hatfield is so easy to work with and pays special attention to what you need and want. Her assistance eliminated much of the stress of planning/setting up an event. I can't recommend this venue or Laurie enough! Thank you Acquaint Gathering for such an amazing day full of memories sure to last a lifetime! More...

I had the honor to see two of my friends married here. The location is away from the hustle and bustle of the city but not a far drive by any means. The wedding was very respectable. The catering was delicious and the staff was polite and professional. Looks like it may be a family operation. More...

My husband and I had our absolute fairytale wedding come true at Acquaint Gathering! Laurie is a doll and worked so hard to make every detail perfect and exactly what we wanted. I could not have been happier. We had so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful the venue was and we were able to take all of our wedding party and family photos on the grounds. There are many beautiful photo ops. Then there are even the gorgeous vintage “get ready” rooms where we all got ready with our bridal party. More...
