Disappointing Experience and Poor Coordination Our…read moreexperience with Renaissance Wine Garden was deeply disappointing. John and Simeen Cook, the owners, do not seem to communicate with each other, and that lack of coordination falls directly onto couples trying to plan their wedding. John made several promises during the tour, only to disappear afterward, and Simeen seemed unaware of everything he had committed to. Instead of working as a team, they left us feeling like their only priority was themselves, not the couple or the event. For the price, you receive nothing beyond access to the space. There is no help with setup, decorating, or teardown. Every small detail--neon signs, firepit, draping--comes with an additional charge. Access to the venue is extremely limited: ceremony site and suites at 3pm, reception area not until 6pm, and guests cannot enter until 6:30pm. By the time dinner, cake, and toasts are done, you're left with barely two hours of dancing before everything must end at 10pm, despite the contract stating 11pm. The final hour is reserved for you to clean up because the venue provides no assistance. We were even told we could access the reception area slightly early, but only if it didn't "look like setting up," because customers were present. It was uncomfortable and unwelcoming, even though we were paying to be there. The bar was another point of confusion--Simeen couldn't clearly explain how it worked. They also advertise onsite catering for groups under 75, yet discouraged us from using it and pushed us toward outside catering instead. Overall, this venue forces couples to hire additional help for everything, driving costs far beyond what most budgets allow. The lack of flexibility, support, and professionalism caused unnecessary stress and anxiety for both the bride and her mother. I cannot recommend this venue to anyone planning a wedding. Due to all the additional stress my daughter had to go find another venue and I have not received any of my deposit back as of yet. The wedding event was 5 months from the date of cancellation.

They had promoted "kids galore activities," but in reality, there were very few. We waited over an hour in line for face painting, only to miss out on the character drawings because the line was already cut off by the time we finished. The bounce houses were advertised as "tons," but there were only two--and they were unsafe. Despite the sign saying "adult supervision required," there were no adults monitoring, and kids were jumping on top of the bounce houses and hurting others. I had to call security multiple times, and nothing was done. I even found myself stepping in to help because children were leaving in tears. There were no tables to sit at, even though there were many food trucks, and very few kid-friendly activities beyond the long lines. The hot air balloon "walk-through" never happened--there was only one balloon set up, and the rest didn't even start unloading until after 7. Overall, the event was poorly organized, unsafe, and very misleading compared to how it was advertised. Very disappointed with this experience.

The decor is so fun- graffiti murals everywhere, so much color. Party lights and lasers to turn on to amp up the fun. Tons of seating, tons of sleeping areas, a projector, 2 large televisions, a full kitchen, large open space for dancing, Bluetooth speakers...I could go on and on. I have nothing to add to improve it. They have thought of everything. I love it and my daughter and friends are already requesting another event here...grad party maybe??? If you need a place to throw a fabulous event or just want to stay somewhere awesome after bar hopping through Soulard, this is your place!!!

**May 2025: Weekend Visit**…read more I came here to attend the 2 Rivers Comic Con inaugural convention and really enjoyed this beautiful space. There's ample parking for patrons and the building itself has high ceilings for lots of air circulation. On my visit they had a small stage for the talent to speak about their experiences as well as a separate room for signings/photos. The space is very intimate and while they did not use the 2nd floor for the convention there's room to grow if they did! Overall, a nice space for nerds to gather!

My kids were helping them and the staff was so appreciative and being so kind and letting them help! They served pancakes, eggs, and had tons of Easter eggs for the kids. The location itself is a great area to hold events. It's very open and there's a lot of historic sites on the property to check out as well. Highly recommend booking events here! I can't not say enough good things about the staff!
