Eventful At Locust Grove

Eventful At Locust Grove Eventful At Locust Grove is an event venue in Historic Weston, MO. Our venue is located in the rolling hills of Weston, MO. Why change a good thing?

We offer a rustically elegant backdrop for your wedding, reception, party, reunion or corporate event. We are a mother daughter duo, Kate Parsons and Christy Shafer. We offer beautiful garden weddings in Kate’s English style garden which sits next to a field that is either planted in corn or soybeans (both are gorgeous!). Then we have an open air structure up there, the lattice house, where you ca

n host your cocktail hour. Afterwards, down to our beautiful reception hall for dinner and dancing. The space is what we like to call rustically elegant. It features lots of chandeliers, vintage white columns, upholstered burlap walls, and feature walls made of old vintage painted doors and another of old ceiling tins. We also have a chalk wall that you can customize. We mixed in a 10’ zinc topped industrial table for our buffet table. And in the front sitting area a Chesterfield sofa and club chairs. The building sits on 78 acres next door to Kate's antebellum home. The original farm and home were named Locust Grove. We are able to accommodate a sit down dinner of up to 200 people. We have a 20X30 stained concrete patio for you and your guests to enjoy. There is a bar made from the front of an old confessional booth, burlap upholstered walls, chandeliers, old columns, lots of wonderful details to make your event special. We have an open catering policy (pick whoever you like!). Our catering kitchen is quite large, garage door load in to make it easy (caterers love it), ice machine, commercial fridge, warmer and work space. Tables and white padded folding chairs, linens for all the guest tables, 150 colored napkins of your choice, lots of free decor, and some coordination services come with the rental of the facility. We look forward to visiting with you about your event!

After thirteen incredible years serving our community at Eventful, we will be celebrating our final season and closing our doors at the end of June 2026.
Since opening, our venue has been the backdrop for hundreds of meaningful moments — from weddings and family reunions to fundraisers, memorials, and community celebrations. The laughter, music, and joyful gatherings that have filled this space are what we will remember most.
What has truly defined these thirteen years, however, is the community. We are deeply grateful to the couples, families, nonprofit organizations, creative partners, and neighbors who trusted us with their most important milestones. Your stories became part of ours.
We are also incredibly proud of the many young people who grew up working within these walls. Over the years, countless local students and team members learned their first lessons in hospitality, responsibility, and service here. Watching them gain confidence, build friendships, and move on to new chapters has been one of the unexpected joys of this journey.
We are especially honored to have supported charitable events and local causes throughout the years. Seeing this space used to serve others has been one of the most rewarding parts of our story.
As we move toward this next chapter, we do so with full hearts and tremendous gratitude. While plans for the future of the property are still taking shape, we are excited about what lies ahead and confident this space will continue to be meaningful in new ways.
Thank you for thirteen unforgettable years!
With appreciation and excitement for what’s next,
Christy & Kate

Paige and Josh got married surround by friends, family and their five darling kids. They are a busy couple as these kiddos are ages 8yrs down to identical twin 1 yr old boys. (Emmett, Arabella, Teddy, Bennett & Levi 🥰) Paige’s mom did all the flowers and her nana made all the desserts, Steve, her dad, made the dessert wall for them to be displayed on. It was the greatest family affair ever! The fall vibes were on point as well. The men wore gold velvet jackets and the bridesmaids wore autumn jewel tones. Paige had gorgeous gold and pearl floral clips down her long, swept back hair. Congrats to the Shaffers! (since we have the same last name - spelled a little differently- can I be the fairy godmother to those cute babies??? Please and thanks!)

We already got sneak peeks of one of our weddings from last weekend! Our cutie patootie couple was from Weston!! They both grew up here and were high school sweethearts and now live in Weston.(Yay!) They are the nicest people from the sweetest families. What a fun celebration it was! They had all Weston vendors - from the photographer to the fantastic caterers to the beer, wine and spirits that were served to the yummy cupcakes . We loved it all and this wedding shows how much talent resides right here in Weston! Thanks for bringing them all together for your happy day, Katelyn and Tim!! ❤️

.photographyy What a beautiful wedding for these two. Gorgeous light, tall corn in the fields, things still looking green in August in MO?!! (thank you for the rains, Mother Nature!) Bob and Grace are the nicest people from the sweetest families. We first met them at Grace's brother's wedding which we hosted a few years ago. The brother's little girl got to be one of their flower girls. Bob and Grace have a baby girl as well, not old enough to be a flower girl yet but she looked adorable all dressed up for her parents big day. They both looked amazing - he wore a dark green suit and she had a beautiful strapless dress paired with the cutest sparkly tennies!! We loved getting to relive that wonderful wedding through these gorgeous images. Congrats to newlyweds!

🖤 Black & white wedding photography isn’t retro—it’s eternal.
There’s something quietly rebellious about ditching the trends and capturing love in its rawest form. No filters, no distractions—just contrast, grain, and soul.

These aren’t just wedding photos. They’re analog vibes in a digital world. For lovers who live off the grid—even if just in spirit. 🖤📸

Last weekend we had the great pleasure of hosting a wonderful couple for their wedding. Two teachers. The sweetest, I’m not kidding. Nick, the groom, has a dad that has a pretty epic vintage car collection so they had many to choose from for their “getaway car”. They chose his first car he ever bought - a 1942 Cadillac, purchased in 1969 which somehow he still owns!! They did a beautiful bubble send off at sunset (but then came back inside and danced the night away!) We are so happy for these two!! Congrats to Shalee & Nick!

Destiney and Brendan were married at our place in April. She wore an embroidered white dress with colorful flowers sewn into it. I’d seen this a couple times in veils but this much colorful embroidery on the dress was a first!! I loved it! Brendan went with a classic black tux and looked fantastic too. Super sweet couple and nice families that we got to work with. Such a happy day as these two are over the moon for each other. Congrats to the newlyweds!!!

This was from an early spring wedding we had this year. Mackenzie & Jerrick were the loveliest people and we enjoyed it all over again getting to see these images. Peep their cute chalk wall design thanks to a talented bridesmaid and their name spelled in cupcakes!! Best wishes to the newlyweds!

.maritza I’ve posted about this before but non traditional wedding dresses can be so cool!! I LOVE this dress for our bride, India, because it’s so perfect for her. I love the head scarf, the full skirt on the dress, the sparkly jewels sewn on it - it’s just perfect. She and Dominique both looked incredible on their wedding day. (Check out his hat with that long red feather! Wow!) Bold choices can lead to beautiful results. Whatever it is - the dress, the theme, the food, the music - make choices that reflect your personality and it is always going to be the more interesting and memorable option. (I had a 13 piece salsa band at my wedding which would not have been my grandparents’ first choice but hey it was our day and we loved it!) Congrats to these two lovely human beings, so glad you chose Eventful for your big day. ❤️❤️
