After having to cancel/postpone our large indoor wedding due to Covid-19, my wife and I were scrambling. Eileen and everyone at the Glen Echo team were able to make accommodations for our now small wedding on short notice and at a very reasonable price. We are very appreciative of the job that they did and would recommend Glen Echo to anyone looking for a magical wedding day.

Stonewolf is a great venue in the Metro east! They just renovated the event space and it is all beautiful! The coordinators were very friendly and opening to making certain things work so we could make it our perfect day. The guests loved the covered patio for cocktails hour that looked out to the golf course and all the modern updates as well! One of my favorite things was their decor closet which saved us hundreds of dollars! Last minute, the event coordinator’s grandpa died and could not be there day of but the staff went above and beyond to make sure nothing was out of place or not planned the way we wanted. Rachel stayed late the Friday before to help make sure everything was setup for us Saturday. Overall, they are so so friendly and really care about making your dream wedding come true. Cannot recommend this venue enough, especially if you are looking in St. Louis and wanting to save some money by going over to the Illinois side!

The Hilton delivers it all! We loved that their wedding package includes catering, bar, tables, chairs, linens/etc., which really reduced some of the wedding planning stress. (They do allow couples to rent their own if they have a different vision.) Also, their event coordinators are very experienced and gave great recommendations in planning and in managing the day of the event. We truly enjoyed our day because the team at the Hilton Frontenac was handling everything so wonderfully! Our guests loved that they could stay in the same place as the wedding reception, and everyone reported having a great stay with the hotel. As bride and groom, we loved being able to go right upstairs to change shoes, etc. We even had leftover wedding cake brought up to our room which was a real treat! In addition to the wedding reception, we hosted our rehearsal dinner and farewell brunch at the Hilton. True to form, they did an amazing job, and the convenience factor really added to an enjoyable experience! The Hilton Frontenac can do it all! They have practically everything you need for your wedding planning and their team executes it expertly. Some people say that their wedding day flies by because there is so much going on. Because of the amazing staff and experience provided by the Frontenac Hilton, we truly enjoyed every minute of our day! We recommend them wholeheartedly!!!
