The Anheuser-Busch Biergarten in St. Louis was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the very first interaction, the staff, especially Heather, were easy to communicate with, direct, and transparent about all the details. They worked with us to create a truly unique and customizable experience that was both fun and big in scale. Heather helped us think through every last detail, and she transformed the tent into something truly magical - I actually cried when I saw it all come together on our wedding day.

We absolutely LOVED working with Grbic Events. Lejla (the wedding coordinator) was so fabulous and helped the day run as smoothly as possible. She went above and beyond to make sure my wedding vision came fruition. The night of the event she was out of the floor and her team was constantly checking in and making sure everyone had what they needed. The team was so great to work with and I would 10/10 recommend this event space for any event. The event space is gorgeous and the outdoor area really helps accommodate for large weddings. We had about 300 people and it never felt too full or crowded. We got so many compliments on the food.

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 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 honestly don't know where to begin from the beginning Heather was amazing. She was extremely helpful when touring and her prices are fair and the venue is gorgeous. Heather and Hope had amazing communication throughout the process we had it booked 2 years in advance and I always felt like I knew what was going on. At our kick off meeting to discuss vision and florals Heather saw my vision and ran with it. She did a better job than I could have even imagined. It looked straight out of a style shoot the perfect coastal garden vibes that fit the theme so well. We both have creative mindsets and I had 100% trust in her the entire process. The day of Heather was there to manage and issues and just make sure everything went smoothly and myself including my guests can say it was the best wedding we've ever been too. I still have guests a month later complimenting me on my day and how it was the most fun wedding they've attended. The flow of the venue leaves for so many cool memories and the decor is extremely customizable. 10000/10 recommend this venue!
