where it all began
We had our first date at an ice cream shop in Shaw just down the street from our wedding venue. At the time, Katlyn lived a couple streets over, so we spent a lot of the early days of our relationship at coffee shops, restaurants, and walking the streets of this neighborhood. Now we're excited to celebrate our wedding here with you all as well!

Travel Note
Other Options
If you plan to get an Airbnb or find your own hotel option, let us recommend some areas of town to stay in! Central West End This neighborhood is a perfect blend of residential and stuff-to-do! Super walkable and located nearby the beautiful Forest Park. Shaw/Tower Grove Our venue is in the Shaw neighborhood, adjacent to the Tower Grove area. With Tower Grove Park and tons of historic homes, the area is gorgeous. Katlyn used to live in this neighborhood! Clayton, Brentwood, Maplewood, and Richmond Heights If you prefer to stay outside of the St. Louis city zipcode, we recommend looking for a spot in one of these four areas. While they are considered out of the city, they are just a short drive to the venue!

Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
One of our favorite things about our venue is that it is located in the heart of the beautiful Shaw neighborhood in the city of St. Louis, where Ethan and Katie met. There is some street parking available in the neighborhood near the venue, but we suggest ride-sharing or Ubering, especially if you plan to consume alcohol at our reception.

Just down the street from our venue, the Missouri Botanical Gardens are beautiful!
