The Simpson House is a beautiful venue - located in a grand and historic mansion, in gorgeous condition, it's only steps from the Plaza. It has three hotels spanning every price bracket, from the inexpensive no-frills Homestead Inn to the mid-price Holiday Inn to the higher-end Marriott, virtually across the street. Popular locations for picture taking, like the Nelson Museum, Kauffman Memorial Gardens and the Plaza fountain, are within 2 minutes, but who needs them when you have the perfect outdoor and indoor venue right there at the Simpson House? I absolutely fell in love with their romantic garden as a ceremony site. And what reception venue in such a perfect setting can be had for less around a grand??? Brock at the Simpson House is your guy, and he will take care of you!
