From choosing your date to scheduling a tour, we want the beginning of your wedding planning experience to feel simple and personal. Here are a few things to know as you consider Country Charm for your celebration.

Planning & Booking

Do we tour Country Charm before booking?

Absolutely! A private tour gives you the opportunity to explore the venue, see our indoor and outdoor spaces, ask questions, and start imagining what your wedding day could look like at Country Charm. We also love learning about your plans so we can help you determine which wedding experience best fits your celebration.

How far in advance should we book our wedding?

There’s no single perfect timeline. Some couples reserve their date a year or more in advance, while others plan their wedding in just a few months. If you have a specific date or season in mind, we recommend reaching out as soon as you’re ready so we can check availability. Shorter planning timeline? Ask us! If your date is available, we’ll be happy to help you bring your celebration together.

How do we reserve our wedding date?

Your wedding date is officially reserved once we receive your signed contract and deposit. The deposit amount depends on the wedding experience you choose: $500 for the Weekday Wedding Experience, $750 for Rustic Romance, or $1,000 for Grand Celebration. Once those are complete, your date is secured on our calendar and you can begin planning your Country Charm wedding!

Do you offer weekday or smaller weddings?

Yes! Country Charm offers a weekday Micro Wedding Experience designed for intimate celebrations of up to 50 guests. It’s a wonderful option for couples who want a meaningful wedding day with many of the special touches of a larger celebration, without needing a traditional Saturday wedding.

Pricing & What’s Included

We believe wedding pricing should be clear and easy to understand. Our wedding experiences offer different levels of access, amenities and planning support, so you can choose the option that best fits your celebration.

What do wedding experiences at Country Charm cost?

Wedding experiences begin at $1,200 for our weekday option, with Saturday weddings beginning at $2,500. We also offer expanded wedding experiences with additional time, amenities and support. Visit our Wedding Experience Collections page to compare current pricing and inclusions.

What is included with our venue rental?

Every Country Charm wedding includes use of our venue and grounds, tables and chairs for up to 150 guests, setup and breakdown of tables and chairs, free on-site parking, access to our catering kitchen, bridal and groom getting-ready spaces, and use of our indoor and outdoor ceremony and reception areas. Additional amenities and planning support vary by wedding experience.

Are there optional upgrades available?

Yes! Country Charm offers optional enhancements that allow you to personalize your experience without paying for things you don’t need. Depending on your wedding plans, options may include décor and linens, upgraded sound, additional planning or design services, and other experience enhancements.

Are tables and chairs included?

Yes. Tables and chairs for up to 150 guests are included, and our team handles their setup and breakdown. That means one less rental company—and one less wedding-day task—for you to coordinate.

Your Wedding Day

Do you offer on-site wedding coordination?

Yes! We offer on-site wedding coordination to help your celebration run smoothly and allow you to spend more time enjoying your day. The level of coordination and planning support included varies by Wedding Experience Collection, so we’ll help you choose the option that best fits the amount of support you want.

Can we have our ceremony at Country Charm?

Absolutely. Country Charm offers both indoor and outdoor ceremony options, allowing you to choose the setting that best fits your vision and the season. Our outdoor spaces give you the beauty of our five-acre country property, while the climate-controlled venue provides an indoor option for your celebration.

Do you have an officiant available?

Yes. We have ordained officiants on our Country Charm team who are available for weddings when needed. Officiant services are included with select Wedding Experience Collections and may also be available as an additional service.

What happens if it rains on our wedding day?

Missouri weather doesn’t always cooperate, but you won’t be left figuring out a backup plan on your own. If an outdoor ceremony needs to move inside, we’ll work with you ahead of time to plan the ceremony and reception setup so the transition can be as smooth as possible.

If the weather changes your plans, members of the Country Charm team will also assist with transitioning the reception hall for your ceremony and reception, helping keep the day moving while you focus on getting married.

Food, Drinks & Vendors

Can we choose our own caterer and wedding vendors?

Yes. Country Charm gives you the flexibility to choose the wedding professionals who best fit your style, needs, and budget. You’re welcome to bring in your own caterer, photographer, DJ, florist, and other vendors.

We also have trusted local professionals we can recommend, including vendors who offer exclusive packages for Country Charm couples, if you’d like help building your wedding team.

Can we bring our own alcohol?

Yes. Country Charm allows couples to provide their own alcohol, which can be a significant savings compared with venues that require you to purchase alcohol through them.

An Alcohol Release and Waiver is required, and couples are responsible for following all venue alcohol policies and applicable requirements.

Is there a catering kitchen available?

Yes. Country Charm has an on-site catering kitchen available for food preparation and service during your event. Whether you’re working with one of our recommended professionals or bringing in your own caterer, having the kitchen on-site helps make serving your guests easier.

The Venue & Amenities

What is the maximum guest capacity?

Our climate-controlled reception hall accommodates up to 150 guests for indoor celebrations. Country Charm also sits on five acres, giving you additional outdoor space for ceremonies and other parts of your celebration.

Is the venue climate-controlled?

Yes. Our reception hall is fully climate-controlled, so you and your guests can celebrate comfortably throughout the year—whatever Missouri weather decides to do outside.

Are there getting-ready spaces for the wedding party?

Yes. Our Farmhouse provides two separate getting-ready areas, giving both sides of the wedding party privacy and room to prepare on-site. It also includes a full kitchen, living room, two bathrooms, walk-in closets, and a dedicated bridal dressing area with a beauty bar.

Is Country Charm accessible?

Our main event spaces are wheelchair accessible. If you or one of your guests has a specific accessibility need, please let us know before your event so we can help you plan accordingly.

Is there on-site parking?

Yes. Country Charm offers free on-site parking for you and your guests, so there’s no separate parking fee or off-site transportation to coordinate.

How far is Country Charm from Joplin?

Country Charm Event Venue is located in Neosho, Missouri, approximately 30–35 minutes from Joplin. That makes it convenient for Joplin-area couples and guests while still giving you the peaceful countryside setting and five-acre property that make Country Charm feel like an escape from the city.

Still Have Questions?

Every wedding is a little different, and we know you may have questions that aren’t answered here. We’d love to hear what you’re planning, answer your questions, and help you decide whether Country Charm is the right fit for your celebration.

Come see the venue, meet our team, and let us welcome you to the farm.
