We were married at Laumeier Sculpture Park in 1999, so when our 25th Silver Anniversary rolled around this year we decided to do it again!! This park has always been a favorite of ours since high school - so to return to the original spot meant so much to us. The staff at Laumeier are just amazing! They were quick with responses to questions and went above and beyond with the planning. We live out of town and they were gracious enough to meet with me when I came to town a few weeks before to walk through everything ahead of time. The day of, the staff did everything possible to accommodate our wishes and be sure other park goers knew that the space was saved for a wedding. We just cannot say enough about this park and venue for weddings. Beautiful setting, easy to access for all the guests and top notch staff - hopefully we will do it again when the Golden Anniversary comes around!! If you’re thinking of holding a wedding here, please do!! It is a magical place and photos after are so much fun!

Cannot recommend the Franklin enough for a wedding! We had the ceremony and reception there for a summer wedding in July 2024. The venue was renovated beautifully but kept historic (there are many photo ops). The team was professional and extremely helpful in every way. Our guests raved about the atmosphere, food, and drinks. The room was flipped quickly during cocktail hour. The food was served efficiently, and they accommodated all guest allergies. They kept us on schedule and really made the day go smoothly. We were able to take advantage of all their resources. You’re in good hands with the Franklin and their team!

Gatsby Events was absolutely phenomenal, and we cannot recommend them enough. Cally was incredible to work with from start to finish. I had a very specific vision of turning the Gatsby Underground space into a full-blown hidden speakeasy wedding after party, and she helped bring that vision to life in the best way. Cally gave us access to the entire underground event space, which allowed us to create such a unique experience for our guests. We had a casino theme, a jazz band, a magician, food, and a full bar setup, and everything flowed so beautifully. The space never felt crowded, and there was so much room for guests to move around, explore, and enjoy the night. We also rented out the Prohibition speakeasy as part of the event, which took the experience to a completely different level. Guests were able to flow from the main event space into the speakeasy, and it truly felt like a hidden gem within the celebration. It added so much character, energy, and surprise to the night. We had guests come in from all over the United States, and they were blown away by the space, the staff, and the overall experience. Everything felt polished, intentional, and memorable. St. Louis has such incredible history and charm, and Gatsby Events gave our guests a way to experience that speakeasy, prohibition-era energy in such a fun and elevated way. Cally, Rich, and the entire Gatsby Events team truly took our after party to the next level. For anyone looking to host a unique event that gives guests an experience they will actually remember, Gatsby Events is an incredible choice.

From start to finish, every detail was perfectly handled, and the experience exceeded all of our expectations. Our ceremony and cocktail hour took place on the Bullock Terrace, and the setting was nothing short of breathtaking. The stunning cityscape and Ballpark Village provided the exact vibe we envisioned. The terrace was beautifully prepared, creating an atmosphere our guest couldn't stop raving about. The Cardinal Ballroom for our reception was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate our 200 guests, with plenty of room for dancing and celebrating. The bar service was impeccable, and the food was a highlight of the night - everyone commented on how delicious everything was. A huge shoutout to Sydney, the venue coordinator, who was truly the icing on the cake. From our very first meeting to the wedding day itself, she went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. If everyone planning their wedding had a Sydney, no one would ever have to worry about a thing! her expertise, kindness, and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Beyond Sydney, every staff member we encountered was warm, friendly, and eager to help. Their professionalism and genuine care made both us and our guests feel welcomed and valued throughout the event. If I could do it all over again, there isn't a single thing I would change. Live! by Loews was the perfect choice, and I would pick them again in a heartbeat. Thank you for making our special day unforgettable.

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!!!

When we were looking for a reception hall for our 10/10/20 wedding way back in 04/19 we chose Orlando’s. For the price it’s a great value. Then we did the food tasting and we felt great about our choice. The food was wonderful! Next came Covid...throughout the process Mike and Laurie made sure to listen to our concerns and they had a great sense of humor along the way. Our reception was the least stressful part of the whole day and if I could give them 6 stars I would!

Having our wedding at Old Hickory was the single best decision my husband and I made throughout the planning process. I cannot overstate how excellent their team, facility, and service is! We fell in love with the beautiful scenery and amenities onsite, but Jen and her team made the experience even more special. Every detail was handled with such care - from the tasting, to our rehearsal, to the day of for our ceremony and reception, we didn’t have to lift a finger. They worked seamlessly with our vendors to ensure everything was set up perfectly.  One example of just how above-and-beyond our experience was: our guests noticed that while they went up to get dinner at the buffet, their napkins were folded and table places were reset when they came back to their seats. I saw Jen personally go around to each table and do this while dinner was served! Those small details make such a difference, and all our guests noticed and appreciated the top tier service. The food is also excellent - we received so many compliments, especially on the twice baked mashed potatoes! I truly would not change a thing about our experience. From getting ready in the bridal suite onsite, having our ceremony in the beautiful trees, driving a golf cart into the sunset while our guests enjoyed cocktail hour on the patio, to dancing the night away, every moment of our day was perfect. We cannot thank Old Hickory, Jen, and her team enough for making it the wedding day of our dreams. I 100% recommend booking with them!!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Bogey Hills in September 2025 and it was the most perfect day! Shannon and the entire staff were incredibly helpful for the entire process and made it seamless from start to finish. I know wedding planning can be stressful, but they truly took a lot of the stress out of it.

Olde Wicks was the most amazing wedding venue we could have possibly imagined. From getting ready to our reception, we were able to have our whole wedding day at one location in three different halls. There was no stress over flipping any rooms, and our guests were never crammed into any room. The venue was so beautiful for our winter wedding, we have had so many compliments. Every hall is unique, but still cohesive. It is a very flexible space- you could choose to do minimal decor or really lean into your own personal style and the halls would look beautiful either way. Our pictures are absolutely stunning and I cannot imagine a more beautiful venue to suit our vision. Additionally, Jennifer and Shannon were amazing to work with. We visited the venue a couple of times- they were always very accommodating, answered all of our questions, and even helped point us in the direction of some of our other vendors. They completely simplified the process and made planning and the day-of as stress free as possible. We were truly able to be in the moment and enjoy our day, while Jennifer and Shannon took care of everything behind the scenes.
