VENDOR SPOTLIGHT What is your business all about? We’re a local BBQ and Brewpub based in Liberty, Missouri, proudly serving our community since 2020. Our passion lies in crafting authentic, high-quality BBQ and exceptional craft beer—all made in-house. Beyond our restaurant doors, we bring that same dedication to our catering services, offering both food and beverages for weddings, receptions, and special events. We’re fully licensed for catering and liquor distribution, making us your one-stop shop for delicious food and drinks on your big day.

Can you cater more than BBQ? Absolutely! While we’re known for our awardworthy BBQ, our culinary team loves to get creative. Whether you’re dreaming of a pasta bar, taco spread, elegant prime rib dinner, or custom cocktails and craft beer pairings, we’ll ɾʍ͛ˏʳ̌ࢫɄࢫ̆ʍ̌ͷࢫͩ˂Ʉͩࢫͅʍ͍ʱʍɲͩ˵Ωࢫёͩ͛ࢫΩ̛ͷ͍ࢫΘˏ͛ˏ̛̌ࢶࢫ If you can imagine it, we can make it happen.

Are there any requirements up front? Once a contract is signed, we do require a deposit of 25% of the total cost. We have a refundable deposit up until 5 days prior to the event.

VENDOR SPOTLIGHT What is the Greenroom? The Greenroom is a luxury mobile golf simulator experience, designed to bring the fun and competition of world-class golf to any event. Whether it's a wedding, corporate gathering, private party, or branded activation, we provide a stunning setup with top-tier technology and unforgettable entertainment.

What is included in a rental? Every rental includes a premium mobile golf simulator with Uneekor technology, full setup and teardown, two on-site Greenroom hosts to assist and entertain guests, golf clubs (leftand right-handed), and multiple play options including closest-to-the-pin, full course play, mini games, and more. Optional add-ons include custom branded golf balls and digital leaderboard competitions.

How many guests can participate? We keep things fast-paced and fun. In a typical 4–5 hour event, we can accommodate 75+ guests with mini-games like closest-to-the-pin and rotating play. Everyone gets a turn — and a good laugh. And it’s not just about the person swinging — the crowd gets into it too! Guests love cheering each other on, watching the leaderboard, and celebrating the great (and not-so-great) shots. It creates a lively, interactive atmosphere that keeps everyone entertained. Hosting a larger event? We can bring two simulators and set them up side by side for double the action and even more engagement.

What moment stands out to you most on couples’ wedding days? The most remarkable part of a wedding day is seeing each couple’s unique personalities shine through.

What is one detail you’ve seen implemented into a wedding that others need to know? Couples often focus on the “getting ready” stage and the celebration itself, but the “end of night” plans can be easily overlooked. Some of the smoothest and most joyful send-offs happen when couples plan ahead for their departure.

VENDOR SPOTLIGHT How Does the Red Carpet PhotoBox Work? The PhotoBox is designed to be self-operated, allowing guests to step up, strike a pose, and take their own photos. Most people enjoy taking their own pictures with their phones giving the ability to access the images immediately. It’s a great way for your guests to capture spontaneous memories during the event.

Can I customize the front of the PhotoBox? Full Service & Customization: Our package includes complete delivery, setup, and tear down, so you don’t have to worry about a thing! Plus, we offer full customization of the front cover to match the theme of your event, ensuring the PhotoBox feels totally tailored to your special day. This unique experience is something new to the KC area, making it a perfect way to give your guests a memorable, interactive keepsake from your wedding.

Is there a photographer included with the PhotoBox? No Photographer Included:

While our

PhotoBox setup is fully equipped with professional lighting and customization of your choosing for the front cover, it does not include a photographer. Many of our clients choose to hire a professional photographer for their events, who simultaneously captures the guests interacting with the PhotoBox and other moments during the celebration. This allows for a seamless experience while still giving your guests a unique, hands-on way to capture memories.

How much does it cost do rent the Red Carpet PhotoBox for my event? The full package is $1,500 per event, which includes everything mentioned above—no hidden fees. As of today, IconiKC Images is offering $200 off when you book within 30 days of registering with Kansas City Engaged or receiving this book. The total cost of the PhotoBox is $1,500, but with the discount, it’s only $1,300 for everything above!

THE BERRY BEST FUDGE COMPANY For many years I made a milk chocolate fudge that I gifted my friends and family through the Christmas holidays. Unfortunately, during the pandemic I was unable to keep this tradition going and the recipients of this chocolaty treat stated how much they missed it and looked forward to it each year. With a big, PLEASE from my Choc-a-holic husband Max, I decided to make this sweet, creamy fudge available all year round. And I must admit, being able to eat this fudge every day makes me very, very happy! 913-372-0986 306 Commercial St., Atchison, KS 66002 www.theberrybestfudgecompany.com theberrybestfudgecompany@gmail.com

MAGICAL MOMENTS VACATIONS I’m Lara Ashbaugh, your friendly neighborhood travel agent. My core value in life is work hard/play hard. As my client I will work hard to find, organize and book the trip you have been dreaming of. My favorite part of this job is getting to know my clients and helping craft just the right trip for them. I want to know more than where you want to go, although that is pretty fun too! I want to know how you enjoy your time together, hobbies and interests you share & how you want to feel on your honeymoon. Travel is an important part of life and a magical part of the whole wedding experience – I’d love to work together on your Magical Moments Vacation.
