The story of an engagement party at Hotel Kansas City…. When love meets tradition, the result is truly magical. Lena & Ahmed celebrated their engagement with a stunning katb ktab ceremony on the rooftop of Hotel Kansas City, surrounded by their closest family and friends. With Kansas City’s skyline as the backdrop and perfect weather breezing through, this Arab engagement party was a beautiful blend of modern elegance and heartfelt traditions. The vibes for this celebration were simply unmatched—modern, colorful, and so much fun. Lena & Ahmed’s ring exchange on the rooftop was a highlight, symbolizing their new journey together. The vibrant florals by Laura Mohamadi brought the space to life, reflecting their fresh and colorful love story.
Picture-Perfect Locations
As a Kansas City photographer, I love capturing the city’s iconic venues. For Lena & Ahmed, the day started at Hotel Kansas City, with its historic charm and breathtaking rooftop views. We also ventured to the Kauffman Center and Loews Hotel, two of Kansas City’s most picturesque locations, for additional portraits that added a touch of modern sophistication to their gallery.
Creating a day as beautiful as this wouldn’t have been possible without an amazing vendor team:
- Photography: Mariam Saifan Photography
- Hair & Makeup: Caro Benitez
- Venue: Hotel Kansas City
- Florals: Laura Mohamadi
- Wedding Rings: Cartier
From the flawless hair and makeup by Caro Benitez to the colorful florals and the iconic rooftop setting, every detail was thoughtfully planned and executed to perfection.
Modern Elegance Meets Cultural Tradition
Arab engagement parties are full of meaningful moments, and Lena & Ahmed’s celebration was no exception. The katb ktab ceremony brought their families together in a heartfelt tradition, while the modern, colorful aesthetic made the day feel fresh and joyful.
Their rooftop celebration at Hotel Kansas City was a true reflection of their love story—elegant, vibrant, and filled with happiness.
