We were married at Laumeier Sculpture Park in 1999, so when our 25th Silver Anniversary rolled around this year we decided to do it again!! This park has always been a favorite of ours since high school - so to return to the original spot meant so much to us. The staff at Laumeier are just amazing! They were quick with responses to questions and went above and beyond with the planning. We live out of town and they were gracious enough to meet with me when I came to town a few weeks before to walk through everything ahead of time. The day of, the staff did everything possible to accommodate our wishes and be sure other park goers knew that the space was saved for a wedding. We just cannot say enough about this park and venue for weddings. Beautiful setting, easy to access for all the guests and top notch staff - hopefully we will do it again when the Golden Anniversary comes around!! If you’re thinking of holding a wedding here, please do!! It is a magical place and photos after are so much fun!

I wanted something small but luxurious and I feel so lucky to have discovered The Gatsby Penthouse in STL! Josh was so kind and responded quickly if I had any questions during my stay. The place itself was immaculate. The 360 views of STL were breathtaking, and our ceremony was absolutely perfect! Thank you Gould Holdings for allowing us to create such special memories in your space! We will be back!

Awarded Best of Zola
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!
