My husband and I got married at The McPherson in November 2019. We are so grateful, it was a 65…read moredegree day and then the next it was snowing! Anyway, prior to deciding on this venue, we had toured other venues near CWE and what really sealed it for us was Phillip. We toured the venue with Phillip, he worked within our budget, treated us impeccably well, was very easy to coordinate the wedding day-of events, he was beyond attentive on our wedding day, and he made sure I was taken care of on our wedding day. As soon as he knew we were good to go (after cocktails) he let us go about our evening with the reception. We had both the ceremony and reception here. When I say that we did nothing on our wedding day, we did nothing! Phillip's team flipped the room from the ceremony to the reception in less than 30 minutes so that my wedding party can decorate. Our decorations were minimal because the venue is the statement. You actually do not need a lot of decorations (unless you want to, then you do you!) but we thought the venue was so gorgeous. I attached some photos for some inspiration and hopefully it inspires you to book The McPherson. Location: I am from Los Angeles so having my family come to STL and spending some time in CWE was a no brainer. The McPherson has a large parking lot for any guests coming with cars. We stayed at The Chase after our wedding so location was so convenient. Venue: Marvelous! There was a bridal room and even a groom's room! The bridal room was downstairs and reminded me of a salon! My niece-in-laws and bridal party had so much fun in the bridal room while we waited for guests to arrive. There is even a tv for you to see when guests arrive and where they are sitting. The back patio was so romantic. No decorations needed! Catering: The McPherson partners with Russo's catering. Food was a delight! I am not too picky however for some reason I do recall how food at a wedding was, that's just me. I don't care too much about grand flowers or a massive cake. To each their own! Russo's invited us to a tasting and holy gryffindor! It was so much fun. Very detailed, well organized, and we felt so special! Our catering contact scheduled an appointment with us closer to our wedding date to talk through details. Super easy to work with! Their team puts everything together and breaks everything down! Some of my family members are gluten free, some needed high chairs, and Russo's had a full plan for all our special needs! We went with passed appetizers right after the ceremony and they were a hit! We also went with assorted desserts, they were bite sized and we instead of a large cake we went with a token cake just to cut for photos. We also hand picked all five of our dessert options! Every time my husband and I reminisce about our wedding day, we cannot think of anything that went wrong and that is mostly due to this venue, the catering company, and you gotta have a top notch wedding party. Happy planning! With Lots of Love, Phil and Jackie

As a fresh new resident of St Louis and moving quickly into a new relationship 3 days after my…read morefirst divorce, I was on the lookout for a wedding venue for marriage #2. I'll spend $1,000 on some shoes but a wedding? No way. My first and second marriage total come to about $150 and if I ever add a marriage #3, the total won't be more than $250. This was 5 years ago and I wasn't picky but we really found a gem. I wanted to get the wedding in right around Thanksgiving to have a future excuse to get out of family holidays. The quick scheduling (less than 2 weeks) and $75 happy hour special (between 12 and 2) were perfect! Canned champagne in the parking lot beforehand, a quick in and out that totaled no more than 30 minutes, a few friends and we were hitched! The morning was spent at the gym and the evening was spent eating waffles and drinking cocktails on Cherokee (after a costume change, of course!). So stress free and cheap. The background used to be pink/rose but it looks like they've painted it a nice grey to update. It also had some wild carpet which looks now to be wood. It is (or was) cheezy in a classy way, if you know what I mean. Now it may be a little nicer which is fine but I enjoyed the quirky charm. When you first come in, you spend a few minutes with the officiant in the office getting things laid out. Then, it's on! We wrote our own vows, made jokes, and overall loved the officiant. I cannot believe people spend so much on weddings when this is just perfect and gets the job done (over and over and over again, if necessary).

For those of you who aren't beach experts like me, Seaside was the site for the movie The Truman Show. While New Town is a bit too cookie-cutter perfect (some people were saying eerie), the Italian-style bridges, the fountained lakes and the stone cutouts for bonfires are nothing less than charming. It happened to be a chilly night so I was glad for the little venue selling hot chocolate and cappuccino. I spotted a diner, sports bar, church and market all within two blocks of each other. There were also two sand volleyball courts, and games continued until midnight. The idea of New Town and others like it is to be able to walk to any place you would need within a square mile. It's sort of like living in a bubble with all the necessities: furniture shops, clothing stores, a spa, recreation, a book store, music store, etc. Quite a beautiful bubble, though, I must admit...

After searching several locations in the St. Louis area we just couldn't find something that wasn't the typical banquet hall or golf club. We both knew we didn't want a barn wedding or a city scape wedding either. Something in between... The Vineyard at Riverbend Chapel is just that! From the gorgeous views, to the beautiful chapel... this location makes for a perfect indoor or outdoor ceremony. The outside ceremony overlooks the bluff and the river, and the inside has tall ceilings with glass windows, a gorgeous arbor, and can be candlelit all the way down the aisle. The outside is breathtaking and the inside is romantic and traditional. Something for everyone! The reception ball room is gorgeous too. They have so many extra amenities that they offer at no additional cost. From the event planning team, Toni and Tonya, to the serving and event staff they were absolutely professional and made our day run so smoothly. I felt at complete ease with them. Not to mention the food choices are absolutely delicious. I really can't say enough good things. If you are getting married in Missouri or surrounding area, it's absolutely worth checking out. My guest still keep saying how beautiful it all was! Thanks Riverbend!!

Casie worked with us to make sure we knew exactly what they had to offer and helped us make choices that felt right for us. She arranged for the layout to be just as we planned and her and her staff helped us transition smoothly from dinner to dancing as we had to move a few tables. I cannot stress enough how good the food was. Our tasting with Casie and chef Mike was one of our favorite parts about planning a wedding and the food delivered not only at the tasting but at the reception as well. As we talk to our guests about the wedding every single person mentions how good the food was and how unexpected for wedding food to be THAT good. Also, we went with their catering for our small cake and cupcakes and could not be happier. They were all so insanely good, I can't wait for next year getting to eat the last bits on our anniversary. Casie and her staff worked with us and were so professional, kind, and accommodating leading up to and during our event I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a venue.

But for real....if that's the worst thing...whatever! I'd do it there all over again!
