And most importantly, so were our guests. We just had our wedding reception at Rose of the Hill on June 23, 2018, and could NOT be happier with our choice! First of all, Quentin Dunk is amazing to work with. He's extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process, but the best part is how great he is on the actually day of your wedding. Quentin checked in with my husband and I SO many times to make sure we were getting everything we needed, he took care of our family and friends incredibly, and if there was a job to be done, Quentin jumped right in there to do it. THE FOOD. Oh my goodness.... DE-LICIOUS. We decided to do a Family Style dinner and it was an absolute hit. Everyone commented on how quickly the food came out and how nice it was to be able to sit down while still getting to pick and choose what they wanted on their plate. And everyone said that the Penne with creamy tomato sausage and sage was their favorite =) We would have our reception there all over again. DEFINITELY recommend.

We had our wedding in the Missouri Botanical Gardens in September through Catering St. Louis (the…read moreonly way you can reserve an area in the botanical gardens). We regret this decision. The wedding itself was beautiful but the entire planning process and getting Catering St Louis to actually work with us was a NIGHTMARE. First of all, it's a full non-refundable deposit that you must supply to hold your spot. This is also rain or shine, no refunds. We knew this and accepted this, but then (after we paid) they sent the full package with other restrictions we were not expected. No signs, no glasses or anything breakable. The seats that day will be set up for the largest group of the day, so if you have a small guest list compared to the other weddings occurring that day, too bad. You have to pay an additional $300 for a golf cart if you want help transporting people to the wedding site (NOTE: this only applies to the wedding party! They don't want you to use it for all your guests). Additionally, if this golf cart breaks down, too bad, they only have one, there goes your money. For a $3000 non-refundable deposit, you think they would provide reserved parking for at least the Bride and Groom. NOPE. When we met with Catering St. Louis representative, she assured us since it was a wedding earlier in the day, that we would find parking, but nothing was reserved. When I arrived with my parents in my dress, there was NO parking. My dad had to drop us off, park somewhere a mile away, and then RUN to the ceremony site. This was absurd. We talked with the folks at the botanical gardens themselves after this, and they said they would have supplied us with reserved parking if Catering St. Louis would have talked to them. ALSO, the people with Catering St. Louis refused to meet and work with us/answer questions until a month before the wedding!!! It was incredibly frustrating not knowing what was going on and what else we had to do. The only support we actually got from them was the ONE meeting with the Catering St. Louis representative less than a month before the wedding (which wasn't even in the botanical gardens, they met us in a cafe), and during the rehearsal. We got an hour for our rehearsal time and that process was smooth, but nothing was set up, and there was no way to hook our music up and to coordinate that. During the day of, the rehearsal coordinator gave us our ques to walk and then left. We would NOT recommend having your wedding at the Botanical Gardens through Catering St. Louis. We are SO glad we didn't use them for our reception.

She was fantastic to work with over the phone, but things got better on the day of the event at the Jewel Box. The food was fantastic and perfectly prepared. The staff working the event were so professional, very nice and extremely accommodating. Darla was by far the best event coordinator I have ever work with. She took care of every detail including the small things that most people wouldn't think could make a difference, but did. She was on top of everything. The other people I spoke to after the wedding said the same thing. A "Big Thanks" to the professional chef on staff that sliced the cakes that I baked. They looked amazing on the plates.
