This venue is absolutely beautiful, and Amber and Jon do a wonderful job working with you to make your day perfect. They are easy to reach with any questions throughout the process, and are open to your ideas. We really wanted our ceremony to happen outside, and Amber and Jon were able to wait until the morning of the ceremony for us to make the call to stay outside and got everything set up outside that morning to avoid the rain the night before. They do a great job of meeting up with vendors as they arrive so you don't have to worry about it. Job did an excellent job as our DJ; the dance floor was lively all night. The bartenders were also great and accommodating to a wide variety of drink orders. Your money is well spent with this venue and the owners!

If you’re here, you're probably in search of an idyllic indoor/outdoor venue to say “I Do” and dance the night away near St. Charles, St. Louis, or somewhere south of the city. You’re looking for something that feels close to home, with modern amenities and easy access to local hotels, but surrounded by the beauty of nature. You’ve likely pinned a few (hundred) photos for wedding inspiration and you’re searching for your ideal St. Louis wedding venue. Haue Valley is the venue you didn’t think you would find. The one that’s both awe-inspiring and affordable.

Located a short distance from St. Louis Haue Valley is an amazing venue with a lot to offer. Family owned and operated Haue Valley ownership and staff provide great communication, clear directions and an amazing 3,000 piece Something Borrowed Closet with everything a bride needs to decorate the ceremony and reception areas. The ceremony area is outdoors and is versatile. There’s an alternate ceremony location on-site in case of rain. The alternate ceremony location isn’t the reception area. Yes! No need to rearrange the tables and chairs! The Groom’s Room has plenty of seating, a bathroom and is spacious. It also has a TV, shuffleboard and PlayStation to keep the guys occupied. The Bridal Suite is fabulous and beautiful in its own right. It is large, beautifully furnished, has a bathroom is and well lit and equipped for getting ready on your wedding day. Last, I will say that the entire site is beautiful and has many spots for pictures so there’s no need to go to other locations for photos. There’s a waterfall, a lake, a vineyard, an ivy wall, giant rocks and several other places that make fabulous backdrops for your wedding pictures. So glad we chose Haue Valley for our wedding venue!

Our wedding at the Forest Park Golf Club was absolutely outstanding! Lexi was stellar helping us when we first visited, learning about the different package options, and finding out that we could make the dream of having our wedding reception in Forest Park come true! Maddie did more than we could ever have hoped for as our coordinator, helping us with decorating ideas, arranging all of the details, and getting everything set up perfectly on the day of the reception. We made some additions the week of the wedding that the club accommodated seamlessly. They made everything as easy as it could have been. Our photographer was in an accident on the wedding day (oh no!) which pushed back the timing of the wedding. We arrived later than planned at the reception. Maddie was waiting outside with golf carts so we could immediately dash away for pictures at the Grand Basin- after she made a quick dash into the club to bring out some emergency finger nail tools! And the pictures around the Grand Basin: sunset reflecting on the water behind us… so beautiful! And the food! The drinks! The service! Everything was absolutely outstanding. Me and my bride never got our own drinks- the servers were frequently asking us for anything we would like. It truly exceeded the dreams we had of what our Forest Park wedding reception could be!

We will be here for you every step of the way during planning and we also coordinate your big day so everything runs smoothly without any hitches. Well maybe only one “hitch”😉

We got married at Loveland in March 2024 and are SO happy we did! They were the first venue we looked at and instantly fell in love but wanted to do our due diligence and look at one more to be sure. We checked out one more and that validated that we knew Loveland was the venue for us. Heather is a complete boss and does amazing work and her team is so so helpful. The venue itself is beautiful - we loved the privacy and all that it had to offer (the outdoor ceremony space and indoor reception area). The team cares about their couples and are there every step of the way. Also the fact that we could get an outside caterer and supply our own drinks saved us a good chunk . I’d recommend them 10000x times over!

From the very first time we stepped foot inside Hermann Hill, we knew it was going to be special. Becki gave us a tour and all we could think about was how beautiful it was. When we walked outside and the groom saw the river bluff, it was a done deal and he said we had to get married there. Roxanne became our wedding coordinator and to say she was truly amazing is an understatement. She kept us in the loop, kept our heads above water when it felt like there was so much to do, and continued to keep us excited throughout the entire planning process. The day of the wedding, Roxanne was so upbeat and fun and did amazing with the set up. She truly was a treasure. We will never be able to thank the amazing work everyone did, from Roxanne, to the amazing chef, and to all the staff that we didn’t get to meet. All of you made our wedding day PERFECT. From the bride and groom, we thank everyone at Hermann Hill from the bottom of our hearts.
