A Kansas venuethat will tell youabout the stairs.

This page covers two different things. The website, which we have measured. And the venue, which is still being built, where most of it is step-free and one room is not.

The website

WCAG 2.2 Level AA, measured rather than claimed.

This website targets WCAG 2.2 Level AA. We treat that as a floor rather than a finish line, and the site is tested against it rather than assumed to meet it.

That distinction is the whole point of this page. Every statement below came out of an audit that can be re-run, not out of a paragraph a template supplied.

Color contrast
Every piece of text is measured against the ground behind it, including where a translucent card sits over a photograph. No text on this site falls below the AA threshold.
Keyboard
Everything you can do with a mouse can be done with a keyboard, including the date calendar and the inquiry form. Focus is always visible.
Structure
One h1 per page, headings in order, and a skip link as the first thing you reach, so an outline matches what you see.
Reduced motion
If your system asks for reduced motion, the animations stop. Nothing fades, drifts or slides.

In detail

What is built in, and what is not.

What is built into the website

  • Color contrast is computed against the actual composited ground, not the color a stylesheet nominally sets, including where a Bone card sits at 90% over a photograph.
  • Every control is reachable and operable by keyboard, and the focus ring is a visible Ember outline rather than a faint browser default.
  • A skip link is the first thing a keyboard or screen-reader user reaches on every page, and it goes straight past the navigation to the content.
  • One h1 per page, no skipped heading levels, and real landmarks for the header, nav, main content and footer, rather than a page of unlabeled boxes.
  • Type scales with your browser text size and with your viewport. Nothing is pinned to a fixed pixel size.
  • Motion is gated behind your reduced-motion setting. With it on, the reveals, the parallax and the hero animation all stop.
  • The English and Spanish pages are each marked up in their own language, so a screen reader pronounces both correctly. Accessible names, the labels you hear but do not see, are translated too.
  • Every image carries a description. Because the venue is under construction, each one also says it is an architectural rendering.
  • Every button, link and calendar day is at least 44 pixels tall.
  • The availability calendar is rendered on the server, so the real dates are in the page before any JavaScript runs.

Where the website falls short

Three things are worth knowing, and we would rather list them than let you find them.

  • The inquiry form needs JavaScript to move between its three steps. If you cannot use it, call or email. The same information reaches us either way, and you are not disadvantaged for using the phone.
  • The date calendar shows one month at a time and is navigated by button. It works by keyboard, but it is denser than the rest of the site.
  • The map on the Visit page is a drawing rather than an interactive map. It carries a text description, and the address and directions are also written out in full.

How this is checked

Every page is audited at 375, 768, 1440 and 1920 pixels wide, for contrast against the composited ground, heading order, horizontal overflow, tap-target size and missing alt text. The Spanish pages are scanned separately for English that has leaked into a label or an accessible name.

The audits are part of the site rather than a report someone wrote once, and they run again whenever a page changes. A page does not ship with a finding open.

If you need something in another form

Anything on this site, whether a rate, a date, a floor plan or the terms, we will give you over the phone, by email, or in whatever form works for you. You do not have to explain why, and asking does not put you at the back of any queue.

If something here or at the venue does not work for you, tell us the page and what happened. We want to fix it, and we would rather hear it from you than not hear it at all.

The venue

Step-free where it can be. Stairs where it is not.

The building is under construction and opens in May 2027, so what follows describes what is being built rather than what has been measured on site. When the doors open, this page gets checked against the finished building and rewritten if it needs to be.

Most of the venue is step-free: the main entrance and exit, the groom suite on the main floor, the back patio and the covered pavilion. There are three concrete ADA-compliant parking stalls, and ADA-compliant men’s and women’s restrooms.

The bridal suite is the exception, and it is better said here than discovered on the morning of a wedding. It is on the mezzanine level, it is reached by stairs, and there is currently no step-free access to it. If that affects someone in your party, tell us when you get in touch. We would rather plan around it with you than have you arrive and find out.
