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).

Extremely Disorganized and Unprofessional Experience…read more I attended my friend's wedding here, and from start to finish, the experience was frustrating and disappointing. The venue changed the tasting date last minute without offering any alternative options -- they simply picked a new date, which the groom couldn't even attend. The wedding coordinator also wasn't present for the rehearsal and had her coworker fill in instead. We practiced the ceremony outside, but at 10 PM the night before the wedding, the bride received a text saying they hadn't paid for the outdoor space -- meaning the wedding would now be moved indoors. No one followed up that night, and when the mother of the bride called the next day, the staff was rude and dismissive until an additional fee was finally paid to resolve the issue. On the morning of the wedding, the bridal party couldn't even get into the bridal suite for over an hour. It took 6-7 people calling and messaging staff before we finally got the access code. During setup, the head table was missing four chairs, and one guest table was missing entirely. When this was brought to the coordinator's attention, she stressed the groom out by asking him what he wanted to do instead of calmly handling the problem herself. To make matters worse, the DJ (who was not booked through the venue) made multiple mistakes -- including playing the wrong father-daughter song and introducing the best man incorrectly -- which just added to an already chaotic day. Before the ceremony began, staff rudely told guests to "get off their phones," which several people commented on afterward as being unnecessary and unprofessional. At the end of the day, the bride and groom still had a wonderful time, but that was because of who they are, not because of this venue. The joy of the couple and their guests carried the day -- despite the venue's disorganization, lack of communication, and poor customer service. If you think there aren't wedding venues out there that operate unethically or take advantage of couples during such an important time -- think again. This is one of those places. Their behavior throughout the entire process felt careless, opportunistic, and deeply unprofessional.

Wedding Venue Review: A Disappointing Lack of Professionalism…read more I recently attended my friend's wedding at this venue and was very disappointed by the venue's consistent lack of professionalism and preparation, particularly from the coordinator and key staff. While the couple is extremely easy-going, the amount of logistical errors and poor service created unnecessary stress and anxiety on what should have been their most joyful day. The issues, starting with minor planning flaws and escalating to major day-of failures, indicate a severe operational problem at this facility. Failures in Planning and Communication The disorganization began during the planning stages: * The wedding coordinator was repeatedly late for scheduled meetings. * The food tasting was abruptly rescheduled the day before, making it impossible for the groom to attend. * The coordinator was unavailable to attend the official wedding rehearsal. * The most concerning communication failure occurred the night before the wedding: the venue texted the bride at 10 pm stating the ceremony would be moved inside, claiming she had never requested an outside location (which was not true). When the bride responded immediately to correct the error, no one answered leaving her stressed the night before her wedding. Didnt even answer her the next day. Unacceptable Day-Of Service The problems reached a critical point on the wedding day: * Bridal Suite Access Delay: The bridal party and hair/makeup artists, who were scheduled to start at 8:00 AM, were left waiting for 30 minutes outside the paid-for suite. We had to repeatedly call and message staff before an access code was finally provided, with no apology or assistance offered. Finally one of bridesmaid had to download a file from the website to be able to access their after hours phone number to get a hold of someone. * Wrong Ceremony Music: The incorrect father-daughter dance song was played during a pivotal moment of the reception. * Rudeness and Set-Up Errors: * The head table was missing 4 seats. When a member of the bridal party pointed this out, the staff handled the correction with obvious frustration, treating the request as an "inconvenience" rather than fixing their own mistake. The wedding coordinator also rolled her eyes at this mistake. * We discovered that Table 16 was completely missing when guests could not find their seats. When alerted, the coordinator again reacted poorly, acting as though setting up the forgotten table was an unreasonable request. * Poor Bar Service: The bar staff was noticeably rude and dismissive when taking drink orders from guests throughout the evening. For a highly anticipated and expensive event for this couple and their families, the service provided by this venue was shockingly negligent. The staff's repeated mistakes and discourteous attitude toward the wedding party and guests made this a profoundly negative experience. I urge other couples to consider these major operational and service failures before booking here.

TL:DR - Just do it. Ruth and Mike are amazing. The venue is gorgeous and the value is unbeatable…read more I cannot say enough positive things about Ruth/Mike and their venue. At literally 25% of the costs of the other venue we were looking at, you CANNOT do better than Ruth and Stone House. Not only do you get a great venue and day of coordinator in Ruth, you also get a DJ and a treasure trove of items to use on your big day like lanterns and garlands. Using her items vs. buying your own, helps alleviate some of the issues with finding homes for 50 black lanterns later. The venue itself is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous. Its great high ceilings and woodwork will make for a super unique venue that will make your day unforgettable. I cannot tell you how many people have told us how beautiful the venue was afterwards. We had a few special things we wanted to do for our guests like putting hand written name cards out at their seats and play a few jokes on our friends. We had asked volunteers to come help us do all of this, but Ruth and her staff was already on top of it and took care of everything and beyond. Ruth even helped our jokes by writing some Chinese on our seating chart. Ruth was super communicative throughout the entire process, making herself available both via email and texts, never taking longer than 24 hours to respond. We had our ceremony inside and her staff was able to flip the interior in no time, making the transition from ceremony to reception seamless. We literally cannot sing her praises enough.

Stone House Of St. Charles This place isn't worth it. Don't…read moreget me wrong the place is unquestionably beautiful. However, the owner Ruth overshadows that with her rudeness, condescension, pushiness, and interference. Stone House isn't cheap so you would think you would be able to have your wedding the way you want it. Not with Ruth around. A wedding day should be about the bride and groom. If you want it that way do not use Stone House. There are lots of venues that are just as pretty that don't come with an owner who is overbearing and tries to force you do what she think you should want vs what you as a couple actually want. My husband and I got married there a few weeks ago and I hardly know where to start so I'll go in order. First, you can only used one of her caterers and of the five only one will respond so it's not a stretch to figure out that they are friends. The food was so-so and the carterer was easy to work with so I can make my piece with that. Second, the bar BOOZE BROTHERS. You are required to use them and they are impossible to work with because of their lack of communication. I would be hazard to guess that the only reason they are in business is because of Stone House. Nobody would book them otherwise. Ruth's son runs Booze Brothers. The only way to reach them is to email mommy and after she or her husband reaches out to them, they will respond to an email. There was a required meeting with Ruth a few weeks before the wedding. I knew then that we were going to have a problem. She'd ask a question and before I could finish a sentence she'd interrupt and keep talking. I tried to tell her what we wanted and how we wanted things set-up and not only did she keep interrupting she argued with me that what we wanted wasn't a good idea. Just for context part of what I do is directing production shows which includes organizing local and national talent. I know how to put on an event. It only took about ten minutes for me to just sit back and let my husband talk. She tried to interrupt him also, but he just kept talking until she eventually, reluctantly agreed we could set up our wedding and reception the way we wanted. Ruth requires rehearsals to be the Thursday before the wedding at her designated time. So, good luck to anyone in your wedding party who is coming in from out of town. When we arrived, I began introducing people and then started from the beginning of the ceremony and intended to go in order until the end. Well, Ruth had no intention of letting that happen. She wanted to start in the middle and then circle around to get back to the beginning. Since our previous meeting, my husband and I had come up with a pretty nice way to honor my parents who had passed which meant it moved where some people sat. So, I was having to go around behind Ruth correcting her as she went. Ruth is a very loud woman and asked me if I wanted her to run the rehearsal or not. I told her I did not that I was perfectly cable of running a rehearsal. I had also told her this when we arrived. Evidently, it was a rhetorical question because she kept talking and directly people the way SHE wanted them to be. I was frustrated and tired of arguing with her so I sat down and watched with some amusement about the ludicrously as she stumbled through the most unorganized and confusing rehearsal, I had ever seen in almost 40 years. What resulted was a group 12 people leaving rehearsal without a clue as to what they were doing. So, I had to conduct 12 individual rehearsals on Friday and Saturday before my wedding started. Ruth also said they she would be running things the day of the wedding and her "team" would be giving instructions and orders. I put my foot down there and told her there would be no one ordering anyone around. The person running the wedding would by our DJ. As far as the DJ, it is included in her price. However, Ruth refuses to let you meet with him or her prior to the wedding. I would never agree to let someone in such an important role be selected without a meeting. That, in my opinion, is a recipe for disaster. So, my husband and I spend the money to hire our own DJ and it was money well spent. Despite the fact that Ruth made her life miserable for a week before the wedding and made digs at her the day of, she was professional and made sure that things went according to the plan my husband and I laid out. The day of the wedding, I gave my bridesmaids one job. Keep Ruth away from me. Unfortunately, her "team" wasn't much nicer than she was. The day went smoothly because our DJ did take over and my Husband's mother oversaw the set-up. Ruth sent her rules at least four or five times and they are all listed in the contract. We obeyed every rule no matter how small or stupid it was. However, Ruth violated her own contact. Her contract states that Stone House will get, set-up, and repack any items that are brought in exactly as they receive them. I packed every box carefully and labeled them. About 9
