The Barnett was the BEST choice for a wedding venue. It is so beautiful and all of our guests adored it. You barely have to decorate because it is so pretty. It is small and intimate and the stairs were perfect to have our wedding party come down. They have both an indoor and outdoor bar and had fantastic bartenders. There is a secure parking lot and they do offer valet as an add on. Working with Joe was seriously the best. He is so helpful and makes the process so much more fun.

I got engaged in 2021 and immediately started wedding planning. Soon after, we decided to elope! 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!
