A Late April Outdoor Wedding in Missouri

This was such a fun wedding. And with the sun finally coming back around, I couldn’t help but get a little nostalgic over this beautiful outdoor spring wedding at Stewart Farms Co-Op.

Lily Krueger captured Thommy & Mandie’s day perfectly—it was pure joy from start to finish. These two local restaurateurs really know how to throw a party. As soon as guests arrived, it felt like a big, open-hearted celebration full of laughter, hugs, dance moves, yard games (and yes—a little light-hearted gambling), and the real star of the show… the beer boy.

If you’re looking for an outdoor wedding venue in Missouri that can handle a crowd and still feel personal, this was it. Sunshine, open space, a relaxed vibe, and all the good energy you could ask for.

Even though their own restaurants weren’t part of the day—because all their employees had the day off to celebrate alongside them—they still serve some seriously amazing food, so we’ve got to give a little love to Tinga Tacos and Civil Kitchen. I mean, a couple who can work together is already impressive. A couple who can work together in a kitchen? That’s the ultimate test of a relationship. And these two pass with flying colors.

The couple teamed up with some of our favorite vendors to bring their spring wedding vision to life:

They also added day-of coordination to their wedding weekend package, which made the entire day feel easy, relaxed, and totally stress-free.

Truly one of those perfect Missouri outdoor weddings—late April sunshine, a scenic farm venue, and a couple who made it all feel like home.
