House Or Rental
For more affordable or group-oriented options, try AirBnb. They have lots of options in St. Louis. In fact, Sam's mom runs an AirBnb, so maybe you'll wind up staying with her! When searching AirBnb, know that the wedding is in Ladue. Other municipalities close by that would be fun to stay in include University City, Maplewood, Richmond Heights, and Clayton.
