INSIDE MY VIP EXPERIENCE
-
Bespoke
Planning your wedding should feel exciting, not overwhelming. That’s why I take a hands-on, personalized approach — because every detail matters when it comes to creating a celebration that feels unmistakably you. By working with a limited number of couples each year, I ensure that each wedding is infused with intention, creativity, and genuine care.
-
Authentic
From our first conversation, my goal is to truly get to know you — not just your wedding vision, but the little moments that make your love story unique. I want to know your favorite traditions, the celebrations that bring you joy, and what a perfect gathering looks like in your eyes. These details help me design a wedding experience that reflects your authentic personality, style, and the way you love to celebrate.

When your big day arrives, you won’t have to lift a finger. My team and I will handle everything — managing the timeline, coordinating vendors, and making sure you never go too long without a celebratory drink in hand. All you have to do is soak in the magic of every little moment.
With Plan It Terra, you get more than just a wedding planner —
You’re gaining a dedicated partner who listens, understands, and is committed to bringing your most meaningful moments to life.
“She was our wedding fairy godmother!”
Hiring Terra was hands down the best decision I made when planning our wedding! She truly made our day better than we could have ever dreamed!
We chose Terra because of her experience and her attention to detail. With all the weddings she has done, we still did not feel like our wedding was “just another wedding” she was hired to do. She and her team were so unbelievably kind and took special care of how meaningful this day was to us. I cannot express how wonderful it was to feel like we were among friends, sharing in our excitement, rather than people just hired to be there. I cannot recommend her enough!

Happily ever after, KC style
A TASTE OF MIDWEST MAGIC
With its thriving arts scene, rich jazz heritage, and top-notch cuisine, Kansas City is hard to beat as a wedding destination. The city blends historic charm with modern amenities, offering a diverse selection of wedding venues to fit your vision. Let’s make your KC wedding dreams come true.
Must-See Wedding Venues in Kansas City
As a premier Missouri wedding planner, I’m blessed to know so many incredible wedding venues in Kansas City. Here are some to consider for your big day!
01.
Hotel Kansas City
There are few places more iconic than the historic Hotel Kansas City! With seven beautiful event spaces to choose from, it’s easy to make your wedding feel like your own. From the sleek and modern Starlight Ballroom to the gorgeous Tudor Ballroom, there’s truly a reception space for everyone. This venue’s central location also makes it an excellent choice for out-of-town guests to get the full downtown KC experience.
02.
The Gallery
Located in the heart of KC’s Power and Light District, The Gallery offers a fully customizable space for couples to infuse with their personalities. The elegant ballroom has floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook downtown Kansas City, with an adjacent patio that is perfect for catching the sunset. The best part? They provide in-house catering to save you the extra step of sourcing an offsite caterer.
03.
Skyline & Co.
Modern luxury abounds at each of Skyline & Co.’s three downtown wedding venues in Kansas City. The Century Club offers a classic ballroom space with stunning Gothic Revival architecture, while the Noir venue provides a moodier speakeasy vibe with its sophisticated black paneled walls, gold chandeliers, and cozy furnishings. Skyline & Co. also has Corrigan Station, a chic rooftop wedding venue just down the street.
04.
White Iron Ridge
Just north of the city, White Iron Ridge is a premier barn venue in Kansas City. Large and spacious, the grand ballroom has everything to offer in the way of modern farmhouse aesthetics with white wood fixtures, soaring ceilings, and industrial black details. In addition to gorgeous ceremony and reception spaces, this wedding venue in KC also has overnight guest suites, so you can keep the party going all night long.
05.
Hawthorne House
Hawthorne House is a beautiful KC wedding venue in nearby Parkville, just minutes from Platte Landing. They have indoor and outdoor wedding ceremony locations with both a gazebo in the private garden and a sweet, timeless chapel. Their reception space, the Emerson Room, is a blank canvas waiting for your creativity. This venue is perfect for those wanting an intimate wedding in Kansas City.

06.
Lone Summit Ranch
Just 40 minutes from downtown Kansas City, Lone Summit Ranch boasts a stylish indoor reception space, a lakeside patio, and 128 acres of lush farmland. There are so many amazing photo ops for wedding portraits. If you’re looking for peak Midwestern elegance, you’ll find it at Lone Summit Ranch. I love that this wedding venue includes an overnight stay in the honeymoon cottage — the perfect ending to the perfect day.
