Overall the experience we had with hosting our wedding reception at the Upstairs was quite good…read more I had been to a fantastic Yelp event at the Cheshire, where we got to tour and taste our way through all of the fantastic spots on the Cheshire property. I already knew the Upstairs was a gorgeous space with warm textured wooded walls and beautiful imported lighting fixtures. When we began the process of planning for our wedding reception, we were already staying at the Cheshire (taking a Brit to the British hotel when he's in town visiting is the way to make him feel at home, right?), already, so we decided to see if we could see the space as a possibility for our celebration. We had a few other ideas of locations, but we loved the Cheshire. It felt so right to us. The room is split into two distinct spaces. I requested that all of the guest tables (we had 60 guests) remain on the side of the room with the wood paneling, light fixtures and windows. The dance floor and DJ were set-up on the other side. The space would absolutely accommodate more guests, but it didn't seem ridiculous to have so few. They let us use their mirrored chargers and votives for the tables, and we brought in vases of flowers with our own table numbers on them. Originally, we were set to have our happy hour in the fireplace room, which is still on the second floor, but outside of the ballroom. When Lucy abruptly left, she was replaced by Karina, who very kindle advised us that the Red Room downstairs was not being used on the night of our event, so we had our cocktail hour and hors dourves downstairs. It was perfect because this meant we could easily stand near the door to greet the guests as they arrived, and then when it was time to go upstairs, it was a whole new venue. This allowed us to have our evening bar, place card table, gift table and even a selfie photo booth in the fireplace room. It was perfect. We set-up our cake on a table on the dance floor, which if I had to do it again, would have in the fireplace room or closer to the entry somehow, as many of our guests reportedly never say the cake prior to us going to cut it... and it was a gorgeous cake and deserved to be seen. I didn't enjoy the experience of working with Lucy, as I felt like she wasn't very friendly and didn't make us feel important at all. Working with Karina was much nicer. Because we live in London, and were finalising details from home, she went out of her way to set-up a Skype call to introduce herself and go over things. I have very few complaints about our event, but I had been told that the tables would be set the morning of the event or the day prior. To me, "set" meant that there would be linens, plates, glasses, and silverware on the tables. Chris and I picked up our cake and delivered it to the ballroom ourselves at 1:30pm. Nothing was set at all. The tables were in the room, but there weren't linens or anything else. I have to admit that I started to panic a teensy bit. We were told that we could come in at 3:00pm to set the centerpieces and our other pieces. We all had planned to do this and then go get ready at the hotel. Apparently the wrong colour linens had been delivered and were moments from arrival. I was assured that by 3:00pm, this would be rectified. We arrived to set everything up, and still nothing had been done. They said that no one would be there until 4:00pm to set-up. They asked what I wanted to happen, and I said that I needed the tablecloths to be on the table so we could get the center pieces arranged. They did that, and we set-up the cake table, selfie booth and the place card table in the meantime. They offered to let us leave the flowers and things for them to arrange, but of course I wanted us to do it. The second thing that bothered me was regarding the cake. When it was taken away and cut, they brought out random slices and strew them over the tables. I had anticipated that they would put them out so people could take a piece if they wished. This meant a lot of cake was wasted with people not eating it, or not being able to choose what was given to them. We had been looking forward to the strawberry cake for months. We were so busy that we left our plates on the table to join our friends. We had every intention of coming back to them. Our plates were cleared after I'd had two bites and Chris hadn't had even a taste. They also took the Champagne he'd been saving. In my opinion, we should have been asked if it was okay to do this. We did get the leftover cake sent home with us, but there wasn't any strawberry. I'm still sad about this weeks later. My third and final complaint is that all of the place cards were taken and disposed of. I had every intention of keeping ours for a scrapbook. At the end of the day, I would highly recommend this venue. Our guests were pleased with the staff, everyone was blown away by the food, the venue was beautiful and unique and it was an overall good experience.

I cannot say enough good things about a.casa! I held my Mehndi (henna) night here a few days before…read moremy wedding. The a.casa space is large (yet intimate) and diverse: indoor and outdoor bar options, garage doors which allow for an indoor-outdoor flow, multiple restrooms, and an entire dining room. We had henna artists set-up outside, which was beautiful with the string lights. Megan and the rest of the a.casa team was amazing! Since I was planning from New York, Megan accommodated us by allowing us to visit the space in-person on a weekend while I was home for my bridal shower. She even FaceTimed me for a second walkthrough! A.casa provided different catering options, set-up candles, provided vases, designed a furniture / seating chart based on our vision, recommended where to get our welcome sign printed, etc. They even printed their own bar sign to match our welcome sign! The team made for a lovely and easy experience. Would highly recommend a.casa for any type of event! So glad we found and picked this venue :) Note: I will post photos when we get them back!

I will start by saying, I've never written a negative review. We read a lot of reviews before we…read morebegan to plan our daughters wedding, therefore I don't think it's fair that I NOT write one. We started the process with a young lady , who was wonderful btw, assured us that they were used to Spring weddings and explained how the set up would be for inclement weather. We met with her to secure the timeline, etc.. She assured us that they were professionals and did not need to secure a "day of" wedding person. This was a very intimate wedding with less than 50 total and without a bridal party. Therefore we took her word on this statement. This was September of 2024. Two months before the wedding, May 2025, our point person was longer employed at a.Casa. They required us to come in and have yet another meeting to go over all the details that was already planned out with the other person, timeline etc.. The wedding ceremony was to take place outside and the reception was planned for in and out. About 3 hours before the ceremony was to take place I called let them know that we wanted to move it inside completely because it had already started to sprinkle and was forecasted to continue raining the rest of the day. I was told by the woman in charge, and there were two ladies from the venue present, that tables could not be moved. I was told the bride would have to walk between the tables that was set up for the reception. I offered to send several men from our family to come and help move things around if they needed help. She refused to budge and said again that they could not be moved, and our daughter would have to walk between the tables as an isle. The officiator went to the venue and offered to help move things around. The lady argued with him and said it could not happen. This went on for close to a half hour, she finally threw her hands up and told him to do whatever he wanted to do. WHICH was to merely make a seating area so that the bride could walk down an isle and not between the reception tables with people sitting at them. The officiator and one of my sons in law made room for guest seating and immediately after the ceremony they both moved everything back for the reception. It took at the most 10 min to move things back into place for the reception. Their refusal to make an isle with guest seating was very unprofessional. Arguing with the officator was very unprofessional. As we were taking photos, directly after the ceremony, I realized that all of our flowers that were to be given to mothers, fathers, officiator and ring bearer were never given out. I will end it here and just say that IF you choose to use this venue, make sure that you have hire a Day-of coordinator. You WILL need it.

A friend of mine had her bridal shower here and I have to say, it was one of the nicest venues I…read morecould imagine having a shower at. The place is small, but plenty big enough for the 50 people she had at her shower. Also, it was homey and comfortable and quiet. The building is historic and they left the entire thing open for us to explore during the shower. Also, we had full use of the kitchen, so bringing in our own food was easy peasy. We had sandwiches and T Ravs and 3 kinds of gooey butter cake, all made by local places or by the friends and family of the bride, and they did not care. We did not have to use their caterer or anything like that. It was a huge money saver and guaranteed that we had what we wanted. Also, they don't care if you bring alcohol. (bonus for a shower with beer I must add). I will say parking was a bit of a nightmare, but nothing unmanageable. I would suggest telling people to carpool if you are looking at more than 20 cars, the place just can't hold it. So in short, this place is great for a lot of things, and even has those big white tents that you can rent for an indoor/outdoor event. It's the home of the St. Louis Ambassadors, so whatever date you are looking for you can't overlap their dates, but they still have plenty of open dates. Great place for a shower, or even a small wedding. It will keep things classy while keeping your price tag down.

Done! Trust is also a coffee bar, and I'm pretty sure I visited when it was coffee time, and a tad too early for cocktail hour. But the kind person behind the counter could probably see that I was on my way to spend an hour of my life on a riverboat, so she took pity on me and poured me a nice, cold glass of Sauvignon Blanc. This coffee bar slash cocktail bar has lots of seating. The space almost feels like being in a library, but without books, if that makes sense. Lots of big tables, but also bar seating. When I visited, there were people working remotely and studying. I got a seat at a table and just sipped my refreshing wine while looking at all of the art on the walls.
