We have been on countless dates at the StL Zoo and are huge supporters of their preservation initiatives. Check out the grounds before the reception begins!
Beautiful (and free!) art museum just a block away from the reception site.
This one is a little out of the way, but if you have never been, you HAVE to go! Kids and adults alike will be mesmerized by all the cool stuff to see and do at this playground of a museum.
Check out Red Oak for a farm-to-table style lunch or brunch! Nick's cousin Derek opened this tasty restaurant last year, and the food is fantastic! Make it a day and head over to the City Museum after.
The hotel restaurant where we have a block of rooms reserved. Feel free to hang out here before and/or after the reception!
So much to do on the Loop! Go shopping at dozens of small local shops, catch a movie at the Tivoli, go bowling at Pin-Up Bowl, or have a bite (and a drink!) at St. Louis staples like Blueberry Hill or Fitz's.
Nick worked here briefly before moving out to California. Awesome beerhall for German-style brews and tasty food too!
We have a long relationship with ITap! Nick worked at their Columbia location for years, while April earned a spot on their Wall of Fame. This Central West End location is really unique plus close to the reception space!
For the serious beer nerds only! One of our favorite breweries and places to go when we're celebrating (like the night we got engaged!).
