Things To Do
Retreat Gastropub
Our favorite brunch spot in the Central West End. Great for lunch or dinner as well.
Kaldi's Coffee
The perfect spot to grab a lite bite and a cup of great coffee in the Central West End.
Pappy's Smokehouse
If you are looking for the best of St. Louis BBQ, Pappy's is the spot. Expect a line and don't go too late in the evening or they might be sold out! The ribs are worth every moment of the wait.
Urban Chestnut Grove Brewery and Bierhall
A great brewery near our wedding hotels.
Taste
The best cocktail bar in the city is just a few minutes walk from the wedding hotels.
Yellowbelly
A fun, seafood-focused restaurant in the Central West End with great cocktails.
Juniper
Southern food, delicious cocktails. A perfect spot for dinner or lunch.
The Gateway Arch
If you've never visited St. Louis, you can't miss The Arch. Take a walk around the beautifully renovated grounds and if you have time, go to the top! The Old Courthouse and Kiener Plaza are right there as well, both are beautiful sites in Downtown.
Forest Park
You will experience Forest Park at our wedding ceremony but there is so much to see in our city's incredible park. Take a run on one of the many trails, visit the country's best zoo, the Art Museum or the History Museum. The best part is all of the sites are FREE.
Dressel's Public House
Classic pub food. Plus it's the spot Matt and Alexis had their first date.
Mission Taco Joint - Central West End
Our favorite spot for tacos and margaritas in the Central West End.
Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams
Need a sweet fix? Don't miss Jeni's Ice Cream.
Cafe Osage
The cutest spot for brunch or lunch. Plus they have the most adorable shop.
Blueberry Hill
This is a great spot for a beer and a burger and to take in St. Louis music history. The Loop is a great place to walk around, shop and eat. This is where the St. Louis Walk of Fame is located. You can also take the Loop Trolley back to Forest Park.
