Bonne Terre was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the start, their communication style was open, honest and collaborative - they were so easy going in helping us customize every detail to bring our vision to life. Even on a rainy day, the classic chapel and reception spaces felt like our own little weekend wedding getaway, and everything turned out exactly as we had imagined. Bonne Terre allowed all of my ideas to come to life, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. We wish we could relive it over and over again!

The venue space is so nice and attractive. We loved the exposed brick and dark hardwood floors. Plus, they have really nice chiavari chairs (not folding plastic ones like other venues)! Eric Turner met with us well in advance, gave us a tour, and answered all of our questions about fees, coordination, etc. Eric was easy to communicate with and always promptly responded by text. Eric also introduced us to Dinetta Hayes who helped setup the decorations and day of coordinating. We gave her a general aesthetic idea and ran with it and made life so easy for our wedding. The decor was perfect with Dinetta's help, and she made sure the actual wedding day ran smoothly. She also separately met with us at the venue and was very responsive by text. She took great notes and nailed everything to perfection. Our day went off without a hitch, and we had such a fun time at our wedding. Eric and Dinetta welcomed us in with open arms and made our day feel special. You absolutely cannot beat the service you'll get at the rental price and fees at the Avenue. Don't look anywhere. Book your event here!
