I really can’t say enough about Jeff, Amy, Ashley, and the rest of team at Gateway Center. They did their absolute best to make our wedding spectacular. Did we have hiccups during the process? Sure. But nothing that would make me hesitate recommending them. They customize pretty much everything so that you have things exactly as you want them and take care of everything on your day so that you don’t have to worry about a thing. And they’re so flexible. I had some family who were throwing them curve balls at the last minute and they took everything in stride. I can’t tell you how much I appreciated that.

We had about 50 people at our rehearsal dinner and there was still A TON of space for more! Every one of our guests RAVED about our rehearsal dinner and kept asking if it was the actual wedding... that is how gorgeous this place was and how amazing the food was!

The presidential suite was stellar for getting ready photos, and the ballroom and rooftop provided perfect backdrops for photos. The staff worked with our vendors seamlessly. Couldn't recommend more!

Awarded Best of Zola
The fact that people don’t know about this place blows me away. There is nowhere else to go where the owners will bring your nephew cool cars. Allow your guests to leave their vehicles on the parking lot for safety if need be, the communication, the ideas. If you are about to make an interesting wedding decision Philip will absolutely help guide you in the right direction. I know there are weddings there every weekend but the owners absolutely make you feel like your event is the only one that matters. Thank you Philip for helping our dreams to come true, and thanks for suggesting a Friday night wedding! Everyone thanked us for it!

We recently had our wedding and reception at Live! by Loews in October, and it was absolutely incredible. From start to finish, every detail was perfectly handled, and the experience exceeded all of our expectations. Our ceremony and cocktail hour took place on the Bullock Terrace, and the setting was nothing short of breathtaking. The stunning cityscape and Ballpark Village provided the exact vibe we envisioned. The terrace was beautifully prepared, creating an atmosphere our guest couldn't stop raving about. The Cardinal Ballroom for our reception was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate our 200 guests, with plenty of room for dancing and celebrating. The bar service was impeccable, and the food was a highlight of the night - everyone commented on how delicious everything was. A huge shoutout to Sydney, the venue coordinator, who was truly the icing on the cake. From our very first meeting to the wedding day itself, she went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. If everyone planning their wedding had a Sydney, no one would ever have to worry about a thing! her expertise, kindness, and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Beyond Sydney, every staff member we encountered was warm, friendly, and eager to help. Their professionalism and genuine care made both us and our guests feel welcomed and valued throughout the event. If I could do it all over again, there isn't a single thing I would change. Live! by Loews was the perfect choice, and I would pick them again in a heartbeat. Thank you for making our special day unforgettable.

The Franklin of Soulard as a venue – 5/5 stars! The Franklin of Soulard team – 100/5 stars! This beautiful venue comes with an even better team that will ensure your day runs smoothly and your reception is everything you could want. I've heard some horror stories from friends about other venues not staying in contact with them or only providing the space and nothing else – that's not at all what I've experienced at The Franklin. Christina and the whole team ensured we were just well taken care of. The food was amazing, and my favorite part of planning was that delicious tasting. The final details meeting set everything in place, and they answered every single question we had.

Our reception was the least stressful part of the whole day and if I could give them 6 stars I would!
