Travel Note

ACCOMMODATIONS

The STL Cardinals and Chicago Cubs will be playing during the wedding weekend, making it a high-demand time for hotels. We strongly advise securing your hotel or Airbnb accommodations sooner rather than later. Here are a few nearby neighborhoods we recommend: Soulard is an old historic neighborhood that comes alive at night with its bar scene. - Downtown STL, aside from watching out for the baseball game crowds. - Tower Grove Park, Benton Park, Fox Park, Shaw, Compton Heights - Forest Park (except for north of Delmar Steet) Catherine and Blake reside in St. Charles, so if you're comfortable with a bit of a drive, consider charming areas outside the I-270 loop such as St. Peters, Chesterfield, and Arnold for accommodations.
