The Thomas H. Swope Memorial is an outdoor historic ceremony venue set on a hilltop in Swope Park — Kansas City's largest urban park — with views over the park's lagoon and surrounding grounds. The structure is a U-shaped colonnade in the Greek Doric style, featuring twelve 14-foot-tall columns supporting an entablature. Designed by landscape architect George Kessler based on plans drawn in 1915, the memorial was dedicated in 1918. Eight bronze medallions mounted on the colonnade's backdrop each honor a species of tree native to the park, while a decorative lantern with carved lion heads and feet crowns the stone court. Stone guardian lions flank the stairs leading up to the court — the sculptural work executed by Charles Keck, former president of the National Sculpture Society. The memorial marks the final resting place of Thomas H. Swope, the Kansas City philanthropist whose 1896 land donation established what would become the 1,805-acre park that surrounds it. Managed by Kansas City Parks & Recreation, the venue brings a rare combination of architectural formality and open-air parkland setting to outdoor ceremonies.

The Old Red Bridge in Minor Park is a historic pedestrian bridge spanning the Blue River on the south side of Kansas City. Decommissioned from vehicle traffic and now functioning as a pedestrian walkway, the bridge offers an outdoor setting steeped in character — its red-painted steel railings adorned with more than 2,500 love locks placed by couples as pledges of commitment, a tradition that has made it one of Kansas City's most distinctive romantic landmarks. The bridge is a sought-after site for outdoor wedding ceremonies, situated within Minor Park's natural surroundings along the Blue River corridor. Kansas City Parks & Recreation manages venue rentals, which include five hours of event time for ceremony and reception use. Because the setting is fully outdoors and within a public park, the venue operates without electricity or on-site restrooms — amenities that couples typically supplement with outside arrangements. For events with 250 or more guests, large equipment, or alcoholic beverages, additional permits and general liability insurance are required. Inquiries and bookings are handled through the KC Parks weddings office, reachable by phone on weekdays and after hours, with email access through the parks department's dedicated weddings address.

Old Rock House is an independent live music and events venue in downtown St. Louis, situated between the Soulard neighborhood and Busch Stadium.
