Beautiful, Flexible Venue

We loved The Journey Home because we were able to spend the night in the house the night before, and my parents stayed the night after as well. It made it so convenient to be right on site, especially while we stayed up late and got up early getting everything prepared. Tara was so helpful, she even helped us unload our cars of decorations and food when we got there to set up. It was pretty cold that day, but with patio heaters, it wasn’t so bad.
They don’t have required vendors, so we were able to provide our own food and everything, which was very convenient. The venue is gorgeous, too.

The Journey Home is beautiful and very accommodating! The property has several options for ceremony and reception sites, with the option to stay the entire weekend (great for out of town family and bridal party members)!! The management is great to work with and will go to great lengths to achieve what the client is looking for. I would recommend The Journey Home to anyone looking for a wedding venue!

Our wedding at The Journey Home was perfect! We were able to rent the grounds for the whole weekend and have our bridal party stay in the house. We were able to set up the day before to make the wedding day have as little stress as possible. Cindy (manager) was so supportive and accommodating! Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the house, barn, and overall area was. It was better than what we dreamed of!

Cindy and the Journey Home were such a blessing to find! We loved the location, house, and view of the land around it. We stayed the night before the wedding and had our rehearsal dinner at the venue. All our guests loved the wedding and we received so many compliments of how beautiful the wedding turned out. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed working with the Journey Home during the planning process!

This venue is absolutely beautiful and I have received so many compliments from our wedding. Cindy that runs The Journey Home is a wonderful, caring and helpful person. The home that sits on the property is stunning and very accommodating, we had our wedding party of 20+ people staying at the home and it was wonderful quality time spent together. It was important to me to have somewhere that everyone could be at the same time and hang out throughout the weekend of the wedding and I didn't want to spend a lot of time moving in between locations for getting ready, taking pictures, the ceremony and reception. We did it all in one place and it was so beautiful. The flexibility of the venue is what makes such a difference. So many places are so strict and that is what made me choose The Journey Home.

The Journey Home is an absolutely amazing venue. It was the best decision we made in our wedding planning. The house, land and barn are indescribably gorgeous. It was so great to have the people we love with us all weekend and the staff at the Journey Home are spectacular. Laura was the most wonderful host, ensuring we had everything we needed, assisting to make everything run smoothly and doing what she could to make sure everyone was having a great time. I would love to go back to the Journey Home and highly recommend it to anyone planning a country wedding.

Our guests just raved about the setting - beautiful home and landscaping! The barn was the perfect place for a casual but elegant reception for our 180 guests - even room for dancing! And even more importantly, Laura was quite exceptional in managing all of the activities making sure our family totally enjoyed the experience. She is professional but yet so warm - felt like she was part of the family. I would definitely recommend The Journey Home for any event!

Brian and I hosted our wedding and reception at The Journey Home it was amazing. From the moment we met Laura, she made us feel like we were part of her family. No matter what we needed Laura made it happen. She gave recommendations on vendors, ideas on different things and even was the officiant for our ceremony. She went above and beyond all our expectations. She helped make our dreams come true.

The venue it self is beautiful. We used their house for the rehearsal and a few of us stayed overnight, They have really made the house feel as if we were in our own homes which was nice. It was great to unwind from all the planning and get ready for the big day. Our ceremony was in the field between the house and the barn. The grounds were perfect and our pictures are beautiful. Then for the reception we moved to the barn. We easily had almost 200 guest inside with plenty of room of a large dance floor, catering, a bar and DJ.

I cant say enough about The Journey Home. You will not be disappointed. The venue is amazing and Laura is the greatest person to work with! 5 stars is not a high enough rating for how happy we were with them.

Robertson Wedding- June 8, 2013
My husband and I were married at The Journey Home on Saturday, June 8, 2013 and it was everything him and i had hoped for and dreamed of! It was aboslutely amazing! The Journey Home is the venue to hold your wedding due to it's beautiful surroundings and the manager, Laura, is so easy to work with and is very quick to respond to any questions/issues you may have!! When my husband and I first started planning our wedding we orignally had booked another venue that kind of fell thru. We stumbled across The Journey Home and fell in LOVE with it! We are now thankful everything worked out the way it did :) I don't have one bad or negative thing to say about The Journey Home. It has everything to offer and with Laura there to help every step of the way and make sure all goes smoothly is an added bonus :) she's super sweet and so helpful. and when the bride gets stressed out over something, she's always there with her calming words and warming smile. A person can't go wrong booking this as their wedding venue because it truly has everything to offer!!

The Journey Home was absolutely amazing and totally worth the money! From the start, the vendor was very helpful and great to work with. The venue itself is so beautiful! The barn was perfect for our reception and we were even able to fit all 260 people comfortably, with only having to place an extension tent on the back for the food. Our guests kept complementing on the beauty of the venue and even our photographer was impressed with how great the venue was. I was very pleased with how everything turned out and can honestly say I wouldn't change a thing about it!:)

Laura is the greatest! She was soooo helpful preparing for the wedding and the day of. She made the process as smooth as possible and put me completely at ease. The journey home was absolutely beautiful with very little decorating and everyone said they thought the location was perfect. I can't imagine having my wedding anywhere else>

WOW!!!

From the beginning, Laura responded promptly to all of our questions and changes. Words cannot describe what an amazing experience we had once we arrived. Very clean, spacious, and they really have thought of EVERYTHING you could possibly need. All the beds, furniture, and decor were elegant, tasteful, and comfortable, We had 5 families staying there for a wedding in Kansas City, and had the rehersal dinner of over 50 people at the house. The kitchen was SPACIOUS and well stocked... Very comfortable and accomadating. On a scale of 1 to 10, this is a 10.5. I cannot thank you enough for making such a memorable time for our family and friends. They welcome families, teenagers, young children, everyone.

Journey Home was a great location for our company retreat. An escape from the city without driving too far. The home's layout, with multiple rooms available for breakout sessions, was just what we needed. The food prepared by our hosts was fabulous! The dessert....YUM!!!
We highly recommend this location and will be planning future events!
Thank you Journey Home for your hospitality.

If I had to do everything all over again, I would choose The Journey Home 100%! Cindy was so lovely to work with. She recommended a fantastic bartender (if you have a chance to use Scott, go for it!), helped coordinate all of the rentals and was available throughout the weekend for anything that came up. Our friends and family loved the location, too - so many pictures were shared and they were all stunning! The reception was in the barn, which is already so pretty with the lighting and the chandeliers we rented from Cindy. We barely needed any additional decoration (which is good because groom was in charge of decorating that day and went with the "less is more" theme!).

We stayed at the home the night before and the night of the wedding. Having that extra down time with our friends and family was priceless. Loved every bit of our time at The Journey Home!

The Journey Home was a beautiful place to have our wedding. We had our rehearsal dinner Friday night, set up and stayed the night at the house. The next day, we got ready there and had our ceremony outside under a tree and our reception in the beautiful barn. They were very accommodating and helpful the weekend of the wedding.
We had some difficulty renting tables and chairs, but overall they were easy to work with.
Value wise it would be nice if table and chair or other things were included. It seemed there was lots of extras we could add on to the bill if we wanted to use them.
I would recommend them to a friend, but not if you aren't wanting to set up and take down your event. I liked being able to set up the way I wanted and we had wonderful family and friends to help.

Due to a wedding the night before our event decorating was kind of chaotic but evened out by the end. The grounds were beautiful and the house is great for the wedding party to prepare for the walk down the isle. The rustic feel and charm of the barn really added that special feel to the reception afterwards. I would recommend this to family and friends that were not on a tight budget.

The venue itself is incredible! It's large and you can bring in any vendor you want. It's so amazingly beautiful with perfect country scenery! The service however could use an upgrade. The GM is new and didn't really have a handle on large groups of people. She did put her game face on and do anything we asked however, she just had to be told what to do. I worked with The Journey Home's rental lady, Cindy, which was a lot of fun up until the day of. The day of, we were missing items we were renting and had to track them down ourselves and pull them out of storage. She tried to charge us for a golf cart we didn't get to use/never saw the day-of and also tried to charge us $60 per heater for 8 heaters when we only used 3 because the other 5 wouldn't turn on. Oh and the groomsmen had to get those out of storage too. We also asked for parking attendants and never saw any of those. I will say the decorations were pretty. The Journey Home itself was also supposed to wrap the outside of the barn because we were expecting rain but only one side of the barn was wrapped and it was only wrapped 6' high, I'm not asking for the entire outside to be wrapped but 6' didn't do jack to keep rain out. Oh and the patio was being enclosed with rented tent walls except only about 2/3 of the patio was wrapped and then we were told sorry they can't do anything else about the rest. I could go on and on but overall, it was very pretty and we still had a great time, even soaked from the rain and all.
