This place really is the whole package! The interior of Charleville’s has been meticulously remodeled to showcase a classy modern feel. The blank slate this event space offers would lend itself well to any decor/style while the massive wall of windows displays the rolling hills and vineyard as your backdrop! In addition to Charleville’s impressive scenery, you couldn’t ask for a more helpful & friendly staff. The event coordinators are great to work with and will help you bring your wedding vision to life! If you love nature and want to immerse yourself in some of the best views Missouri has to offer, I wouldn’t look anywhere else. This hidden gem is perfect for you!

Our daughter chose Dodson Orchards as her wedding venue. Jen was a pleasure to work with! She covered all the details and made our daughters wedding exactly what she envisioned. We appreciated the “one stop shop” experience. Knowing the venue could cater, decorate, clean up, and a arrange DJ lightened our load tremendously. We just had to arrange for flowers and cake. And Dodson Orchards even provided local recommendations for those services too! Highly recommend! 10/10 for us! The scenery is beautiful. And just an hour outside STL!
