Cedar Valley Forest

Cedar Valley Forest is a hidden gem! The property is beautiful and the staff is amazing! We visited several venues for a Spring wedding, and Cedar Valley set the bar of standards/quality service so high we decided to return. Looking forward to working with them over the next few months. Great value for the amazing staff!

Growing up with a wiry, dusty, artificial tree stoked the desire to get a fresh one someday. Over the years my wife and I have cut our own, gone to various tree farms, and now with a toddler we wanted to keep it rolling. We saw Cedar Valley Forest and were stoked to try a new spot to get a fresh tree this year; their website shows hayrides, Santa, food trucks, cut-your-own local trees or pre-cut Frasier Firs, cookies, hot cocoa, a tree maze, pretty much the works if you ask me. Now the day we gutted out was just plain crappy weather. It was really cold, drizzly, and really just not pleasant, so maybe that factors in a bit here... but we were left a bit disappointed. There was no Santa which has me reliving some childhood trauma here. There were no food trucks. The tree maze didn't appear open for business. The walk from the parking lot to the forest was a muddy mess, and the grass connecting was basically a mini-river. :::At this point I think it's also safe to admit we might've been forcing the experience a bit:::We had to seek someone out to get some guidance on what we were doing, and they really couldn't have been nicer. Informative, warm and friendly all around. We walked the forest through some beautiful trees, although they were much too tall for our little house. Ended up with a pre-cut Frasier Fir from Michigan, and the crew told us they'd take care of everything, shake it, bag it, bring it up which was nice. I love the tree we picked, but it was about $10-$12 higher than the place we usually go to.We set up the tree which is a reliable way to have a Clark Griswold type of breakdown. We watered it with a gallon of water, but after 24 hours the water hadn't moved a millimeter. Reading about it, the tree needs a fresh cut to take in water and that is something the crew should've done when prepping our tree. So we had to take the whole freakin' thing down, go buy a bow saw, cut an inch off and re-do the process. Pretty frustrating. So if you go here, I hope your experience is better than mine, but it was pretty anti-climactic and I think I would've been better off popping over to a tree lot this year.

Great service, they help with everything you need when purchasing a tree. They helped with loading it as well.

Recently attended a private event at this beautiful property. The newly renovated property is on the outskirts of KC with a industrial boho vibe. The food and service was top notch. Highly recommend this up and coming event space. Excited to attend their events in the future!

Just attended a corporate event. Great outdoor setting. Taco food truck was amazing and very fresh. It was a nice, casual, warm ambiance. Local food - local band - hoping they continue to host events. Well done! All on a Christmas tree farm.
