The city of Gardner, which is considered part of the Kansas City metropolitan area, has some great resources to help you with the wedding planning process.

Gardner is home to numerous parks, many of which offer beautiful scenery for engagement and wedding photographs. Major parks in Gardner include Gardner Junction Park, KCPL Wetland Park, Stone Creek Park, and Gardner Greenway Corridor.

If you want to rent a park pavilion or facility for bridal showers, engagement parties, or rehearsal dinners, you can make your request through Gardner Parks and Recreation at Gardner City Hall.

Cakes by My Mom and Me, which has 11 years of experience making wedding cakes and grooms cakes, can help you design a one-of-a-kind cake that is as beautiful as it is delicious.

Finally, Golden Goose Floral can enhance your wedding with custom ceremony arrangements, reception centerpieces, and wedding cake decorations made with seasonal wedding flowers.

Gardner's parks offer plenty of amenities that you can enjoy during your free time, including walking trails, tennis courts, basketball courts, soccer fields, and a 10-acre lake at Celebration Park & Sports Complex.

You can also go golfing at Gardner Golf Course, go swimming at Gardner Aquatic Center, or attend one of the community's annual events, such as Johnson County Fair Week.
