Tips for Choosing the Perfect Wedding Venue in the St. Louis Area:
Your wedding venue sets the tone for your big day, so it’s important to choose one that fits your vision and priorities. Here are some tips to help you find the perfect spot, featuring some of our favorite St. Louis venues:
Define Your Style
Are you dreaming of rustic charm, modern elegance, or something in between? For countryside beauty, Wildflower Ridge, Knotting Hills, Westwind Hills, Sunflower Hill Farms and Pine Hollow Farms provide stunning outdoor spaces and charming indoor options. For a classic and timeless vibe, Piazza Messina, Piper Palm House and the Marriott Grand deliver elegance and versatility.
Guest Count Matters
Ensure the venue fits your guest list comfortably. The Marriott Grand is ideal for larger celebrations with its spacious ballrooms, while venues like Piper Palm House and Grbic Restaurant & Events are perfect for smaller, more intimate gatherings.
Convenience is Key
Venues with on-site amenities like parking, catering, or nearby accommodations simplify planning. The Marriott Grand offers downtown convenience, Piazza Messina provides all-inclusive packages, and Third Degree Glass Factory boasts a central location with a modern, artistic backdrop.
Plan for the Season
Consider weather and seasonality when choosing between indoor and outdoor spaces. Westwind Hills, Sunflower Hill Farms and Knotting Hills have gorgeous indoor options in case of unexpected weather, while Piper Palm House offers a lush indoor garden setting year-round.
Customization Options
Check if the venue allows you to personalize with your own vendors or décor. Third Degree Glass Factory and Grbic are perfect for couples wanting a unique, customizable experience.
