Our Roots

For over 30 years, Crawford Farm has been our home, our haven, and the heart of our family. What began as a modest farm on the outskirts of a small town has blossomed into a beautiful estate where we’ve raised our four children and cultivated countless cherished memories. Now, we’re excited to extend this legacy to you through The Pearl.

A Partnership Built on Love and Respect

Our own love story began in a college agronomy class, where we discovered that despite our differences, we shared common values and dreams. Over three decades of marriage, we’ve learned that love, like our farm, requires dedication, hard work, and a willingness to grow together. These lessons are woven into every aspect of The Pearl, creating a space where your own love story can flourish.

From Farm to Fairy Tale

As parents who recently celebrated the weddings of our two eldest children, we understand the joy and significance of your special day. These beautiful events inspired us to transform part of our working farm into the elegant barn wedding venue you see today. We’ve poured our hearts into creating a place that combines rustic charm with refined elegance, perfect for couples who dream of a romantic country wedding near Kansas City.

At The Pearl, we’re committed to providing more than just a venue – we’re offering a experience steeped in the warmth of family, the beauty of nature, and the romance of country elegance.
